Make-out time with Michael – check!
Sofa sleepover – double check; and amazing!
Gourmet breakfast at Michael’s with his
parents and Rebecca – Bonus!
There has been lots of work today to go along
with all of that fun, but the responsibilities side of my life is easy enough
to handle when there’s so much fun to go along with the work. I’ll get to that part of the news in a moment;
since the fun and entertainment parts of the day pretty much all came before
the work today.
Michael came over last night in time to
catch the last half of the show I was watching with Ethan and Ehlana. We followed that up with a fun little bedtime
story and visit with them in Ehlana’s room before tucking both of the twins
into their beds for the night and moving on to a fairly major make-out session
while we didn’t watch a fairly bad action movie that shall remain un-named to
protect all people involved in the film that probably regret having their names
on the list of credits. The film was
really just background noise for the main event in the lounge, and I’ll rank
our play time as extremely hot – and more than a little amusing.
I don’t generally want to get into the
details of the intimate side of my relationship with Michael – even in this
journal; but there are times when comments are appropriate and this is one of
them. Michael and I are, after all, one
of the few Magi couples in Witch Falls that have been allowed to know about
each other before becoming adults; with most of the other few exceptions
finding out about each other by accident – and quite a while ago too. I also have the advantage of being allowed to
shield on my own so that we can use our gifts without direct adult
supervision. Yes, Mom is linked with me,
but even she can’t sense what I’m using my power for through my shields anymore
and never could tell what Michael or Rowen do when I’m hanging out with either
of them.
Getting back to my point here, a pair of
Magi teens does have some play options that other teens don’t; and the amusing
part of the fun comes from experimenting with applying those talents to
intimate moments. For example, I wouldn’t
be surprised to find out that most Magi kids at some time during their
childhood experiment with using their telekinesis to fasten or open buttons or
other clothing fasteners. Getting to do
that with a girlfriend or boyfriend is something else completely; and even when
it doesn’t quite work out as planned the results can be both entertaining and
exciting. Experimenting with this aspect
of our relationship is going to be really special, and while I imagine the idea
alone scares the parents of Magi teens; I hope the council does consider
allowing more teen couples to know about each other in the future. Using our Magi gifts together is creating a very
special bond between Michael and me, and while I can’t suggest that will happen
with every teen couple; it is something worth considering.
The hot factor for the teens involved could
just be a really awesome added bonus! ;^)
Our timing for the transition from play
time to sofa sleepover must have been great too, since Mom and Dad had still
been working in the office when Michael and I got around to falling
asleep. They did check in on us and take
a picture to send along to Miranda; but left us there instead of waking us and
sending Michael home. The wake-up call
from Ethan and Ehlana was fun, and so was Tai Chi; but the breakfast at Michael’s
house was definitely the best part of our morning. The amazing food was definitely worth the
price of some serious teasing from Miranda and Rebecca; though Michael’s sister
mostly just wished that she and Lucas could get away with sofa sleepovers
too. That really isn’t even an option
for them most of the time when he needs to be at the farm to help out with the
chores pretty much seven days a week.
I’d gotten ready for church between Tai Chi
and breakfast, so I was on the kitchen clean-up crew after we ate; and then we
walked to church. Today is Palm Sunday,
so the service and Sunday school lessons were all about that part of the Easter
story. While the message is the same
every year, the delivery is always a bit different; and that’s particularly
true for the kids and teens during Sunday school. For our class, for instance; we’re doing a
much more technical study of the bible than in previous years since I’ve been
here. That lesson was also short; since
we also worked with the other teens to finish up getting our ‘sets’ and props
ready for the sunrise service next Sunday.
We had time for that because the service was a bit more than an hour and
a half long; which is also why Michael had to head straight for the Inn as soon
as we were set free for the day.
It was chilly and we had a spit or three of
rain while we were at church; but the afternoon weather was fairly nice and the
temperature climbed into the sixties. I
went home from church with Mom, Dad, and the twins; we had lunch with Uncle Adam,
Aunt Leanne, and Zack at our house; and then we all took the afternoon off to
play. Naomi and Aiden came to play with
us after lunch too; we went for a bike ride; and played at the school
playground for a while before returning home and hanging out in the back yard
until I needed to get ready and head over to the Inn to help out with the
buffet shift. Michael joined us for the
tail end of the bike ride and play time at home; so we went to the Inn
together; and that’s when the work part of my day kicked into high gear.
The dining room at the Inn was packed for
both buffets with a bit of overflow worked into the mix; so we were all very
busy from the time Michael and I got there until we went home after closing the
Inn. We managed to have some fun while
working hard; but I don’t really have anything newsworthy to report from those
hours of prep work and dishwashing. The
Magi lesson with Mom shortly after I got home was fun, and so was getting the
twins tucked in for the night; but the family business work and studying after
I was in bed and cuddling with Mandy wasn’t very exciting – probably because I
was getting tired by then and did the work because it needed to be done.
As I mentioned, though, the work is worth
the effort when the rest of my life is so amazingly fun – even on the days when
I’m tired and it’s hard to stay motivated.
The work for today is finished, and I don’t have anything to add to this
update; so I am out of here and off to dreamland for a few hours.
Until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
