The temperature dropped back toward normal
today, and while we were still above average this afternoon; it’s below
freezing now as I write this – and it is going to stay cooler for at least the
next few days.
Since I spent most of my day indoors, that
wasn’t a big deal for me, and after taking the day off yesterday; Rowen and Tim
were both working after school anyway.
Michael and I helped out at the Inn after doing our homework too; but I
was mostly doing that to lend a hand while Rebecca was at an away basketball
game. I stayed for game night too; which
is the main reason why I’m just getting around to writing this update now – I got
a late start to my nightly studies and work.
I also basically have no major news for
today either. While Valentine’s Day isn’t
far off, it also isn’t a big story around school quite yet either; and we’re
mostly just plugging away at our new lesson modules in every class. Rebecca and her team mates lost their game
today; but then they hadn’t really expected to win against one of the best
teams in their league. It was a fairly
quiet evening at the Inn for both dinner and game night, and while there wasn’t
a lot of competition; Michael and I didn’t win the junior title this week. That’s mostly because we were just having fun
with Ethan and Ehlana and not really playing very hard at all.
After eventually getting home for the
night, I did my Magi lesson with Mom; helped out with getting the twins tucked
in for the night once they were finished some college studying too; and then
came up to my room to get ready for bed and started on my studies and family
business work. That was nearly four
hours ago, and while I have everything I needed to finish taken care of; I’m
also wiped out and ready for the down time again. I’ll be wishing that I’d turned in earlier
sometime this weekend because we’re going to be very busy. Dinner and a movie night is at our house
tomorrow, and I’ll have Michael, Tim, and Rowen here with me for that. Patricia’s birthday is on Saturday, and we’re
planning a shopping trip to Crystal Springs as part of the fun for her day that
will also let us do some shopping to get gifts for upcoming birthdays and
holidays. A bit of clothes shopping to
get ready for our March Break trip might be involved too; but I’ll keep you
posted on that.
Thinking about all of that is making me
feel even more exhausted, and though I’ll manage to keep up with all of the fun
somehow; it is definitely past-time to wrap this up and switch to nap mode for
a couple of hours or so. Tired or not;
we’re going to have a fun little end to January! That is all I have for now, though; so, until
next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
