The countdown to the holiday weekend is on,
and depending on when your holiday weekend begins; we’re down to either four or
five sleeps to the long weekend!
Michael and I know this for sure because we
ended up having a chores morning today before getting around to some play
time. For him, that meant the usual
chores for his days off on Monday and Tuesday with a bit of extra work to get
ready for the weekend. I was kept busy
helping Mom with everything from chores around the house to pre-cooking for the
weekend. Mom and I had fun with the
work; but there isn’t anything newsworthy to report from our work time. Mom set me free after lunch; and the real fun
of the day got started then.
I went over to Michael’s house after
finishing the lunch clean-up; we had a little visit with his parents; and then
headed out to meet up with Rowen and Tim.
We went biking on the park trails for a while; had some play time with
Ethan and Ehlana at the playground when we met up with them – and Mom – there;
and took over watching them while she went home to keep an eye on cooking that
she had on the go. An Emporium visit for
ice cream followed that; we went for a swim at my house; and then it was time
for Rowen and Tim to move on and for Michael and I to go over to his house for
dinner.
Jacob was already working on dinner by
then, and while we didn’t help out with that; Michael and I did take care of
our usual pre-dinner chores. We also got
to have a nice chat with Jake and Stephanie after they got home from their
afternoon play time; and with Rebecca once she got back from spending the
afternoon with Jenny while both of their boyfriends were busy working. Our dinner meal was a highlight of my day,
with the experimental entree being the main reason for that; and the family
time and dinner conversation a major bonus.
The clean-up wasn’t as much fun, though that wasn’t a problem for
Michael; since he got to escape that while at his ball practice. Rebecca and I managed to get the work done
without him; and then we moved on to another wedding meeting after that.
Stephanie’s parents and all of the members
of the wedding party were at the meeting; we collectively were updated on the
latest news – including the shopping that was completed on Friday while we were
in the city. Our schedule will get
busier after the holiday; but there won’t be much going on between now and next
week while most of us are busy with work and holiday weekend family and friends
fun. Michael got home again in time for
about the last half of the meeting; and then we headed up to his room once that
was done so that we could play music for a while – one more fun thing that we
don’t seem to find enough time to do.
Okay, there was some minor make-out time
too; but we really wanted to play music too – and needed to have a little
practice for our band music so that we’ll be ready for the parade on the Fourth
of July.
There wasn’t enough time for either
activity because I wanted to head home by eleven; and we weren’t exactly in a
position to ‘make’ the extra time with a house full of people. I wasn’t the only person heading home then,
so the goodnight hugs and kisses took a while; but I still managed to get home
by a quarter-past eleven.
Mom did a Magi lesson with me after doing
the recap with me; I stopped by to at least give my brother and sister
goodnight kisses while they slept on the way up to my room; and then I hopped
into the Jacuzzi for some quality tub time.
I’m writing this while still in the tub,
and did my nightly computer checks and archive assignment already too; but it’s
time for me to get out of the tub soon and finish getting ready for bed. Michael and I are getting to have a play day
tomorrow with no major work plans; and I want to be rested up for that – especially
since we’re hoping to wrap up that play day with some alone time tomorrow
night! ;^)
Oh, look at the time! I’d better get on with the rest of my bedtime
routine right away; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
