The early night helped to have me feeling a
bit more like my usual self this morning, but I guess that I am going to need
to cut back a bit on the workload for a little while because I’m really right
back to being exhausted again as I’m writing this hours after I should have
been sleeping.
We’ve had a good day; though still cooler
than those warmer days we got to have that were just a taste of spring that we’d
like to see more of around here. I haven’t
mentioned our Tai Chi workouts in a little while, so I’ll mention that Michael
and I are having a lot of fun as he learned Pushing Hands; and he really does
have a natural talent for martial arts.
Michael stayed for a quick breakfast today before going home and then on
to school for his morning weight training; and I took the extra time getting
ready for the day before meeting up with Rowen for the walk to school that we
ended up doing with Naomi when she was ready to go at the same time we were.
Despite the better weather, I’m wondering
if winter is dragging on me too; because I’m having to force the enthusiasm
while we’re in classes right now. Today,
other than having fun while on our lunch break; those hours were just a way to
get from morning to afternoon. I went on
to the Inn with Michael once we were set free; we did our homework together;
and then helped out with a fairly slow dinner rush that was fairly easy even
while still managing to keep us busy until game night started. We stayed for that and had fun playing with
our families and friends; I helped with the post-gaming clean-up; and then
walked home with Michael and his family once we were done at the Inn. I stayed with them for a bedtime snack and
chat; so I wasn’t home again until ten-thirty.
The twins were still up because they’d
wanted to see me before going to bed, so I had another chat with them – and with
Mom and Dad; and then I took care of getting them tucked in for the night
before doing my Magi lesson with Mom.
All of that added up to a late start to my bedtime computing, work, and
studies. Mom and Dad were just heading
to bed then too; so I began my work by multi-tasking that with some Jacuzzi
time. I needed to soak in the tub by
then, but it also slowed me down a bit as I relaxed a bit too much and nearly
fell asleep while working on my language studies. I got out of the tub after the third time I
started to drift off so that I wouldn’t have that distraction; rushed getting
my hair done; and then got serious about my work and studies for the next few
hours.
The good news is that I managed to get
everything done. The better is that I’ll
be able to take the weekend off except for any must-do family business work
that comes up between now and Monday.
Make that Tuesday; since I’ll try not to work all night on my birthday. While we don’t have any major plans this
weekend, there are Super Bowl parties going on around here on Sunday; and I
expect to be helping out at the Inn for the buffet and game-watching party they’re
doing there. I’ll keep you posted on
that; but can add that Dad’s still hosting a party at our house this year –
mostly so that other families can get a chance to go to that party at the Inn
or at Sheldon’s Pub. Rebecca, Michael,
and I talked a bit about being overdue for a teen night too, but other than
promising to talk about it tomorrow; we haven’t made any plans there either.
It must be time for me to crash now, since
it’s taken all of that just to basically say that I studied, worked, studied,
and then worked some more with just a bit of play time mixed in; so, until next
time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
