We had a very busy – and early – morning!
The early was just in our minds, since it
still felt as though it was an hour earlier than it was when we got up to see
Dad off on his trip to the city. Yes,
that is always early anyway, but assuming that they still have daylight savings
time in your ‘now’ as you read this; I’m sure you know what I mean.
Mom and I did have a nap with the twins and
Mandy after Dad left for Crystal Springs; but it still felt early when it was
time to get up for Tai Chi. Michael
joined us for that, and after he went home again to eat and get ready for his
usual morning weight training at school; I rushed around to get ready in time
to stop in at Grandma and Grandpa’s house on my way to school to say goodbye to
them before they headed out too. They’re
on the way to Florida now and will be there sometime tomorrow or Wednesday
depending on whether they get distracted along the way; and they’ll be there
for sure by the time we fly into Orlando on Saturday morning.
Yeah!
Just five more sleeps until our trip!
Anyway, I did the goodbyes then because I
was in classes by the time that Grandma and Grandpa were ready to hit the road
heading south; and missed out on the round of goodbye visits they did on their
way out of town with their kids and grandkids.
Compared to heading off to Florida for a couple of months, school and
the one test we had today wasn’t all that exciting; but we did have another
very nice day and spent as much time as we could outdoors. Michael’s house was study central after
school as we got ready for our last two tests of the Day Two schedule classes
tomorrow. Miranda and Jacob fed all of
us – and Rebecca, Jenny, and Lucas too; since they were also there and studying
for their own tests.
That was fun – even the studying; but my
favorite part of the evening was the music time with Michael after our friends
left for the night. The playing music
together was a blast; and the minor make-out session after that was even
better! ;^)
Taking the time for that meant getting home
late, but I was okay with that trade-off; and Mom cut me a little slack and let
me work until eleven-thirty after doing my Magi lesson with me. She took care of getting Ethan and Ehlana
tucked in too; so I had a bit of extra work time from skipping that too. I needed all of that time to get my family
business jobs finished, but I also had to promise to keep my bedtime computing
short too; so I only did an email check before getting started on this. The only news from the email worth mentioning
was about mid-term exams for most of my favorite collegians; though I doubt it’s
surprising to anyone reading this that they’re all quite happy with how their
first exams went today – or that they’re looking forward to getting them done
and moving on to their Spring Break time off.
I’m really looking forward to our time off
next week too, but we still have four busy days to get through between now and
then; starting with those tests, more studying, and band and praise team
practices tomorrow. There’s no way that
I’ll be able to help Mom as much as I should tomorrow, but I’ll try to make up
for that during the rest of the week – especially since we’ll need to pack for
our trip along with everything else we need to do between now and when Dad gets
home on Friday night.
Just thinking about all of that work is
making me sleepy, and dreaming about spending a week in Florida with Michael
sounds like fun; so that’s all for tonight, and, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
