Cassie's Journal - August 9, 2015



It’s been a really long day, and we need to be up early to hit the road for our amusement park adventure; so I’m going to keep this update short.

We had another hot-weather day that was only briefly dampened with a bit of rain rolling through this morning.  The wet weather didn’t get in the way of our Tai Chi; and I spent a lot of the rest of the day indoors where the weather wasn’t an issue anyway.  After Tai Chi, I had breakfast at Michael’s house again.  That culinary adventure was followed by a fun morning at church that included the first preparations for the holiday weekend service for most teens and some of the older kids.  The service was only slightly longer than normal, so I had time to run home and get changed before heading over to the Inn; and then it was time to work, work, work for most of the rest of the day except during our afternoon break.

I loved spending the time with Michael and his family; we had as much fun as we could on a very busy Sunday.  It was hot in the kitchen too, so that drained us a bit; and Michael and I pretty much used our entire afternoon break to just rest up and get ready for the buffet side of the shift.  That was a highlight of the day for me because we went back to his house; had two long swims at each end of our break; and cuddled on the sofa and had a mini nap and minor make-out session between the swims.  We got razzed about that by Miranda, and then by some of the other teens, after we returned to the Inn – mostly because we were apparently smiling too much; and didn’t try to deny that we had taken advantage of our break time to have fun.

The buffet shift was tough, and we again had more than two full sittings of customers as Miranda and her team of servers turned over the tables as quickly as they could.  The locals helped with that to help make room for the extra guests as usual during the summer and on holidays; but it’s obvious that the customers will come when Miranda and Jacob finish with the expansion – and could really use more room right now.  Since they haven’t even started the remodel work, I’m getting a bit ahead of myself on that; but it is going to be awesome to have that extra space in the not-all-that distant future.

With the extra diners, the last customers didn’t leave until nearly a half-hour later than normal; and the clean-up took longer too before we could close up and head home.  I couldn’t stayed for a sleepover with Michael by then, but only stopped at his house long enough for a round of goodnight hugs and kisses with Michael, his parents, and Rebecca before continuing on to my house.

I still needed to pack for the trip; did that after a quick bedtime chat with Mom and Dad and stops to say goodnight to Ethan and Ehlana in their rooms; and then got on with my nightly computing once I was showered, changed, and in bed with Mandy.  I had a bit of family business to deal with; email to answer – including from Stephanie and Dawn; and then I did a full computer check including a Hathorne Industries search.  I’ll only do the basics while we’re away; and that’s the only reason for the extra work tonight.

Compared to today, the fun level is going to be rising a lot for the next two days, and I’m down to nap time only before we’ll be up and running again, so that’s all for tonight; and, until next time...

...May the Magi Force be with you!
