Two of my favorite words of the day are –
sofa sleepover!
That’s why this update is coming to you on
Monday morning instead of Sunday night; and why I need to keep it short; since
I’m also multi-tasking it while having my shower and getting ready for the day.
Sunday was another scorcher here in Witch
Falls. That led to some bonus fun – like
the heat-shortened church service; but also meant that helping out in the
kitchen at the Inn was tough due to the extreme heat that the air conditioning
had no chance of keeping up with while also keeping the dining room and guest
rooms comfortable for the customers. The
heat did also mean extra breaks for everyone in the kitchen, but then that put
extra stress on everyone to keep up with the work; so Miranda and Jacob were
grateful for all of the extra help they could get – including mine.
While the work was tough; the spending time
with Michael and his family was awesome.
Whether we were on the prep line, washing dishes, or taking breaks and
hopping in the river to cool off; Michael and I had a lot of fun together. Let’s not get silly and add it to the
best-day-ever list; but it was pretty good!
My opinion on that isn’t very likely to be shared by the majority of the
teens working with us at the Inn; but then their day didn’t end with a sofa
sleepover with their respective boyfriend or girlfriend.
Mine did, and that’s because Michael came
home with me after we finished up at the Inn. We went for a cool down swim that Ethan and
Ehlana joined us for; followed that up with a bedtime snack a visit with Mom
and Dad in the office; we took care of getting my brother and sister tucked in
for the night; and then we fell asleep on the sofa in the lounge within fifteen
minutes of flopping onto the sofa together and getting comfortably cuddled
close.
The next thing I remember is the wake-up
call that Ehlana delivered to us so that we could see Dad off on his trip to
the city. We did that; helped with
loading the truck; and then came back up to the lounge to continue our sofa
sleepover until we needed to wake again to get going again for the day. Ethan and Ehlana spent that time cuddling and
napping with Mom in her room, but for some reason; Michael didn’t want us to
join them for that when Ethan and Ehlana made the offer. I was okay with having Michael to myself for
that bonus cuddle time, and while we did sleep too; there was a minor make-out
session that wouldn’t have been an option if we’d had extra cuddle buddies in
the room with us.
I really need to get moving; so let’s wrap
this up. Michael and I didn’t need
another wake-up call for Tai Chi. He ran
home to get changed for our workout while I put a pot of coffee on to brew for
Mom. Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana met me in
the kitchen; Michael caught up with us again by the time we got to the river;
and we had fun exercising together before Michael needed to get home
again. Mom’s cooking breakfast while I’m
taking my turn to get ready for the day; I’ll be doing the clean-up; and then
we’ll both need to get some work done around here before the Malloys get to
town.
Though Dad’s stuck working in the city this
week, Terry still needed to come here to continue working on the bridge
project. They’ll only be here for two
days this time, but the more awesome news is that we’ll be heading for Crystal
Springs and a five star sleepover tomorrow that will include having dinner with
Dad and the Malloys. We’re also going to
be doing a lot of shopping that will include some wedding-related fun; so it’s
definitely going to be a busy, awesome start to our week!
The work needs to come first, though, and I
need to get to that; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
