Happy April Fool’s Day!
I don’t have any pranks to leave here in my
journal for future Magi entertainment, but I can report that pranks and jokes
were a liberal part of the action at school today – and around town too. There still haven’t been any pranks directed
my way since the no hugging zone posters that were put up around school back
during my first year here, but then the pranks around here aren’t usually
directed at any one person anyway; and nothing is ever mean-spirited.
The bonus entertainment today was fun, but
it was another beautiful weather day that I loved the most. Starting the day and month out with Tai Chi
by the river was amazing; and it was so nice outside this afternoon that I didn’t
start in on my after-school work night until after dinner and instead spent
that time playing with Ethan and Ehlana.
That was a switch, since Michael, Tim, and Rowen were all good little
teens and didn’t try to skip out on their part-time jobs; but then they’ve also
likely been sleeping for a while now too while I’ve stayed up later than usual
for a Wednesday night to catch up on that work I missed earlier.
Having the play time with the twins was
worth the extra effort tonight. We
biked; played in the back yard; and basically just goofed off until it was time
for me to give Mom a hand with making dinner.
We had that meal outdoors too, and that was really great; but then it
was time to clean up and return to the real world where we all have
responsibilities that can’t be put off indefinitely.
It isn’t really late right now, but it is
after one; and I’ve had enough fun for today.
The work and studying went pretty well tonight, and even with all of the
work; we managed to keep entertained while hanging out together in the office
all evening. Mom took turns with the
twins and me for our Magi lessons, but we all stayed in the office and worked
until eleven o’clock before she ordered Ethan and Ehlana – and Dad and me – off
to bed.
She made that order for Dad sound like an
April Fool’s Day joke, but I’m fairly sure they aren’t warding their room so
that they can play pranks on each other. ;^)
Yes, anything more than that would be too
much information; so let’s wrap this up.
While I’d finished my family business work by then, I still had some
language studying and my archive assignment to do after getting changed and in
bed with Mandy. That took an hour and a
half or so, and I’ve been doing my bedtime computer checks since then – and taking
care of a bonus family business job that came up during my email check. There won’t be a game night at the Inn
tomorrow ahead of the holiday weekend, but I will be busy giving Mom a hand
with some work she wants to get done ahead of the weekend fun; so it’ll still
be a long, busy day.
We’re going to be very busy all weekend
too, so I’d better head off to sleep now while I can get the rest.
Until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
