While the day started out fairly cool with
temperatures dipping into the mid-forties; we mostly had a nice day for our
fall clean-up adventures in yard work.
I won’t bore you with the details, and we’ll
have more work ahead as we move deeper into fall over the next month or so; but
we still had a pretty good day despite all of the not-so-fun and occasionally
gross work. Spending the time with Dad
was a big part of that fun; though I wish that we could have a few more chances
to hang out together when we aren’t working. Sometimes it seems as though that’s all we do
when we’re together – either doing chores or working in the office. Let’s just add that one to the list of things
I’d like to do; and won’t have time for in our current schedules.
The yard work took up most of my day, but I
did get to play after that – or after we’d had dinner in the sunroom and then
cleaned up. We didn’t stop working until
six-thirty, so it was eight o’clock by then; and I still needed to grab a
shower and get cleaned up before getting around to that play time. I was appropriately clean and beautiful by
the time Michael came over after being set free from the Inn; Ethan, Ehlana,
and I had a movie, snacks, and drinks ready to go; and we all sat down to watch
the Halloween flick while enjoying some quality cuddle time together. That first movie was all about some time with
the twins; and then we took an intermission when it was time for them to be
tucked in for the night. The second
Halloween movie was teen-rated; and so was the cuddle time for Michael and me.
Our make-out time was the highlight of the
day for both of us, and while I’m not going to include all of the details for
that either; it isn’t because it would be boring! ;^)
Michael stayed until one o’clock, and while
we were very tempted to go for another sofa sleepover; we decided not to risk
doing that too often and messing things up so that we can’t get away with them
when we really want to have them – like during the holidays. We are overdue for a teen sleepover, though;
so maybe we’ll work on that for sometime later this month. Yeah, I have no idea when we’ll have time for
that either; but we’re way behind on teen time with our friends too – or at
least spending time with them that isn’t during school, practices, or football
games. It’s really tough having to pick
and choose – especially when spending time like that with our friends means
giving up some Michael and me alone time.
Moving this update along, I saw Michael out
and watched him walk home at one; came back up to my room and got ready for
bed; and have been working on my computer since then. I was tempted to just do the basic computer
checks and this update, but really want to get ahead on my studies; so I spent
an hour on that and another hour doing family business work. I time-phased most of that; so it isn’t as
late as it would have been if I’d worked in normal time; but that has used up
pretty much all of my energy reserves for the day.
Another busy Sunday is just hours away, so
I’d better get all of the sleep I can to be ready for it – especially when I’ll
be helping out at the Inn and have a lot of work and studying on my schedule
for tomorrow night too. I guess that
sounds fairly boring, but we are going to have some fun weekends ahead between
now and Halloween; and I don’t expect every day and weekend to be nothing but
non-stop fun and excitement. It is
really great that even our ‘normal’ days around here are still really good,
though; and that’s something that I’m grateful for every day.
I’m also going to be very grateful to get
some sleep now; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
