Happy 71st Birthday, Grandma!
That should actually have a ‘belated’ added
to it, since I’m writing this update on Tuesday morning, but you’re reading
this in the future anyway; so I guess it doesn’t matter all that much.
It does matter that I need to get this done
because I’m also in the process of getting ready for school this morning; so
let’s move this into micro-update mode.
My Monday morning was fairly normal except
for the added fun of a birthday phone call with Grandma – and Grandpa. They’re having fun hopping islands along the
east coast of South America and the southern Caribbean this week; and today is
a play day for them as they celebrate Grandma’s birthday. After getting that snow on the weekend; I
wish I was with them! ;^)
It has warmed up again today, though; and
the snow is well on the way to full melt-off – even though the temperature was
only above freezing for a handful of hours.
I don’t actually have a lot of news from
here at home. The Super Bowl game was a
big news story at school, but it wasn’t exactly a very exciting day of classes –
possibly because a lot of kids, teens, and teachers were tired out after
staying up late last night at various game day parties.
Michael’s parents had us at their house for
dinner and the evening, and we had fun there; but it was also a fairly quiet
night too. Michael and I did our
homework with Rowen and Tim; they headed for Tim’s house after that; we had
dinner with Miranda, Jacob, and Rebecca; and then we had a play evening that
included a nice, long music practice for Michael and me. We practiced for band, the teen praise team,
and had the first guitar lesson we’ve had time for in a while. We then wrapped up my time there with a chat
in the living room with his parents; and then I needed to get home and on to my
usual nightly studies and work.
My Magi lesson, family business work, and
language study all went great; though it also took me nearly four and a half
hours to get all of that done. My
problem with getting everything done came from deciding to try and do my
archive homework last. That assignment
was apparently more boring than usual; since one minute I was reading it, and
the next; I was getting a Tai Chi wake-up call from Ehlana.
That’s also why I didn’t get the rest of my
usual nightly computing wrap-up and this journal update done before going to
sleep – and why I need to finish this up, get downstairs, and off to school
now. I am going to need to think more
seriously about changing up my work and study schedule if I’m going to keep
falling asleep like this; but that’s something to deal with later – when I’m
not about to be late for meeting up with Rowen and getting to school on time.
That’s it for this morning; so, until next
time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
