Congratulations Amy, Jared, Drew, and the
entire White and Spencer families – it’s a girl!
Amelia Spencer joined our little town today
in the usual way for a Magi baby – with help from her Magi doctor and nurse;
along with some bonus help for the shielding because she’s quite a strong
little Magi too. I haven’t met Amelia
yet, and only have the few details that Mom passed on to us tonight; so I’ll
only add that Amelia is perfect and healthy; Amy is doing well too; and Jared
is frazzled but managing to keep up with Drew while Amy’s busy with some help
from grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
Before I move on to my personal news today,
I want to comment on my lack of reporting on things like Amy’s pregnancy. She’s one of my favorite teachers, and the
last nine months have been very exciting for her; yet I’ve barely mentioned her
at all in my journal – just as I’ve rarely mentioned the important events going
on for most people around here – no matter how important they are to me. That’s normal, and it’d be impossible to
write about everything going on for everyone anyway; but it does remind me that
the world doesn’t revolve around me and my family – even here in our little
town.
Then again, since Amelia will be a future
classmate for Brianna; it could just be that it’ll be a few years before this
little event will turn out to be fairly important to our family too! ;^)
My day wasn’t new baby kind of exciting,
but that wasn’t all bad; since I also didn’t have anything happen that even
remotely resembled labor pains either.
Some teens might disagree with that while we’re getting ready for our
exams, but even though that does drag out for three weeks including actually
writing them; I’ll respectfully disagree with them. Amy might be able to confirm that for us; but
she’ll be off from teaching until next September – and will be busy enough with
a baby and toddler while she’s off work.
Starting out the morning with Tai Chi and a
hot breakfast out in the sunroom was great, and while our day at school was
fairly quiet from a fun standpoint; I still enjoyed spending the day with
Michael and our classmates and friends.
He came home with me after school and spent the evening here, but while
Rowen and Tim came over too; they only stayed to study with us until they needed
to move on to his house for dinner. Our
studying was all about exam review, and while we haven’t started to put
together the full study group with everyone in our class yet; we will do that
all next week – and may add a bonus study session or two this weekend too.
We did our studying in the lounge; dinner
was in the sunroom and an easy-meal night; and then Michael and I took care of
the clean-up. Mom did a group Magi
lesson with us – and with Ethan and Ehlana – after that; and then Michael and I
had some play time with Ethan and Ehlana while Mom went to join Dad in the
office and get some of her own work done.
Our play time included a music practice, some video gaming, and one
television show before Michael and I took care of getting Ethan and Ehlana into
bed for the night. That left us a bit of
time to say goodnight to each other before Michael headed home at ten o’clock.
He left then mostly so that I could get
started on my bedtime computing and not stay up half the night again; so I got
right to that after seeing him out and checking in with Mom and Dad on my way
back up to my room. I was getting tired
by then, but decided to use a time phase to help with getting as much of my
work done as I could while hopefully still getting to sleep before
midnight. I had a light night for the
family business work, so I did a bit more on the language studying and archive
homework to get ahead of that – and hopefully help out next week when I’ll need
to put in extra time helping my friends out with getting ready for their exams.
That time phasing has tired me out even
more, and while it was worth doing it tonight, I’m ready to crash now as I wind
down fast while writing this little report.
I don’t have anything else to add, and getting to sleep now is an
option; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
