Okay, we might be slightly crazy to go
outside for Tai Chi on a morning when the temperature hovered around freezing,
but the majority of us aren’t ready to move indoors yet; so we bundled up and
braved the cold to enjoy the fresh air instead of exercising indoors.
The highlight of my morning was breakfast
in the sunroom with special guests Violet and Dillon. Michael stayed too; and we had a nice long
chat while enjoying a full country breakfast.
It was time to get to work after that, and while we also took turns getting
ready for the day; I spent a lot of my day helping out in the kitchen. I worked in all of my chores during the day
too; but it was the cooking and baking that was the most fun – especially when
we had visitors dropping by to either chat or help out with the work.
Aunt Leanne and Christina stopped in to do
both for a while – and to visit with Violet.
Brianna came with them while Uncle Adam kept busy with Zack and Eli –
the two boys spending some time together during the morning while Philip and
Naomi got to have a bit of father-daughter time. Getting to see Violet was the main reason for
most of the visits, and she spent the entire morning with us; but then she and
Dillon headed out after lunch to spend the rest of the day with his family and
their friends.
My work day continued on until dinnertime,
and then I was set free after we ate so that I could go over to Rowen’s house
for the evening. Tim was already there,
but we had to wait for Michael to finish up at the Inn before he could join us;
so Rowen and I talked while Tim and Patrick played video games. Michael joined in for a while after he joined
us; and then Patrick escaped the living room as soon as Rowen and I convinced
our boyfriends that they really would rather cuddle with us and watch a movie
or two instead of holding their game controllers. We were glad to have the time together with
just the four of us, but I won’t suggest that the movie was anything to write
about; and we had more fun joking about the show than we had from watching it.
I’m not going to do any major football
reporting tonight, but the guys did talk about it a bit; and they watched a couple
of football update reports before and after the movie to keep up with the
college games. First up, Tim felt a bit
better about our team’s loss last week after finding out that Hillcrest has
advanced to the Championship match. He’ll
be even happier if they win that game over Clairmont; since that’d mean we were
beaten by the Champions for this season.
On the college front, the only match I’ll mention is for Kyle’s team –
and only to report that they lost. While
they aren’t likely to make it to a bowl game this year, they are getting
better; and Kyle’s goal of a bowl game win while he’s at college could happen
before he graduates. If you’re
interested in the rest of the college games today, feel free to check that out
elsewhere.
I’ve had a long day, though; and it’s
past-time for me to head off to sleep.
Wrapping this up, Michael and I stayed at
Rowen’s until midnight; we came home to my house so that we could spend a bit
of time alone for our goodnight hugs and kisses; and then he went on to his
house while I came up to my room. Ehlana
was there and napping with Mandy; and she was still sleeping while I got ready
for bed too. By the time I was done in
the bathroom, Violet and Dillon were getting home; and Violet stopped in for
another bedtime chat that Ehlana woke for – though she was happy to cuddle with
Violet and half-doze while we traded stories about what we’d each been doing
since Violet and Dillon had left for his house after lunch.
Violet didn’t leave for her room until about
ten minutes ago, but I only did a quick bedtime computer and email check; and
now that I’ve covered the highlights from today, I’m ready to call it a
night. Tomorrow is mostly going to be a
work at the Inn day for me, and I’m planning on working the lunch and dinner
shifts; so I really do need all of the down time I can get. Cuddling with Ehlana and Mandy will be more
fun that working on my computer too; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
