Happy 4th Anniversary, Uncle
Adam and Aunt Leanne!
They’ve had a happy day too; though that
probably got even better for them once they got started on their kid-free
night!
No details required by the nieces or nephews,
thanks; but we do wish you all the best! ;^)
It seems strange as I sit here in bed and
write that; since I didn’t really get to spend much time with my aunt and uncle
today. Between school, homework, and
baseball practice; I was only able to be at the dinner party for about an hour,
and since they waited for the stores to close so that all of the guests could
be there for dinner; I didn’t even get to be there for all of that.
For some reason, Mother Nature picked today
to mess with the weather forecasters, and while we were supposed to get rain
and thunderstorms off and on all day; that didn’t happen. The first sounds of Thunder didn’t even roll
through until after I was home from my ball practice; and the imminent threat
of a thunderstorm had our guests heading home shortly after that – with Grandma
and Grandpa taking Zack with them for the night.
There was work to do after that around the
house, so I pitched in to help Mom with that while Dad got started on his
homework and Ethan and Ehlana did a bit of studying for their college
courses. It was Magi lesson time after
that; and Mom taught me a new Transmutation.
After that, we did the full bath and bedtime routine with the twins,
since they’d done a fair bit of outdoor play today and were going to be
spending the morning at KidZone; so it was after eleven before I got around to
hopping into my Jacuzzi to get rid of the bits of baseball diamond and grass
that I brought home with me from my practice.
I did my language studies then; and started in on the family business
work after getting into bed with Mandy.
Leaving my archive studying to last was the lesser of two bad options;
but I managed to stay awake through an hour and a half of high-speed reading
that covered about fifteen hundred pages of fairly tedious and technical
Transmutation research.
We’re just a day away from the weekend,
now, and while Mother’s Day is on Sunday; we don’t actually have a lot of plans
beyond celebrating that with our favorite moms.
The weather forecast looks fairly awful too, with lots of rain for the
next three days; and that won’t be fun on Saturday if Dad and I need to deal
with that on what he wants to be a big yard work day. That won’t be fun for Mother’s Day either;
though we’ll manage to make sure that Mom has fun anyway even if we get rain
all day.
For now, though, it’s really late; and I
just need to crash for a couple or three hours before it’ll be time to get at
it again. I’ve skipped the news for the
rest of my day; but it was busy and uneventful by comparison to my
evening. We did miss game night because
of the party and my practice; but I’m expecting to miss that most Thursdays
between now and the summer break.
Okay, that really is it; so, until next
time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
