Happy 18th Birthday, Chris!
We sent a gift, and I hope he’s had a good
day; but my cousin’s birthday didn’t involve me in any way. It’s his first as a collegian, though, so I’ll
guess that he’s had an interesting day with his new college friends.
Here at home, I was up early to see Dad off
to the city; had a second micro-nap with Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana once he was on
the road; and then we got up and going on our own day. Tai Chi, breakfast in the sunroom, and my
usual school day morning routine was only slightly rushed to give me time to
walk over to Grandma and Grandpa’s house so that I could say goodbye to
them. They were up, had the minivan
packed, and were nearly ready to leave for the airport by then; so we had a
nice little visit before I continued on to school and they got ready to make a
couple of stops to say goodbye to the rest of their grandkids on their way out
of town.
My school day was fairly uneventful;
cheerleading practice was great because we had the temperature around eighty by
then; and Michael came home with me for dinner tonight so that we could help
Mom with Ethan and Ehlana. Mom had
dinner nearly ready by the time we got there after our practices; we ate at the
table in the sunroom, and once we’d finished the clean-up; Michael and I did
our homework and had a music practice in my room and the lounge while Mom did
some work in the office. Ethan and
Ehlana were with us for that and some follow-up play time; Mom did a Magi
lesson with Michael and me at nine; we took care of getting the twins into bed
for the night after that; and then Michael and I wrapped up our evening with a
minor make-out session in the lounge before he went home.
I still had all of my bedtime studies and
family business work to do after that, but didn’t want to stay up half the
night to do it; so I used a time phase to blast through all of it and still be
able to get to this update before midnight.
Using a time-phase after a long day and not much sleep over the past few
days has worn me out; so I’m really going to need that extra sleep.
Mom’s decided to go to the city for a
five-star sleepover with Dad tomorrow too, and while Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne
are going to take care of Ethan and Ehlana while I’m busy with school and my
usual three practices; the three of us will be staying overnight with
them. Yes, we could have stayed here,
but Aunt Leanne apparently believes that we’re way overdue for a sleepover at
her house, and the twins want to do that too; so my next update will be coming
to you live from the Carrington’s house tomorrow night.
Right now, ‘live’ would not be how I’d
describe myself, and I’m past-ready for the sleeping part of my day; so, until
next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
