We’ve had a nice weather day here, but I
didn’t get outside to enjoy it much. Tai
Chi was by the river, and we spent most of our lunch break outside too; but
that was pretty much it for me – except for the walks to and from school and
the Inn.
Today was really our last day of ‘real’
classes before the March Break. Tomorrow
will just be a wrap-up day for either finishing projects that are due or
working ahead on our holiday homework. I
won’t have anything to do because Michael and I did all of the March Break
homework we could do ahead of time; and only have one English assignment left
to go that we can’t do until we’ve actually experienced what we’re tasked with
writing about.
We did that while skipping game night at
the Inn, but we did help out with the dinner rush there first before moving on
to my house to get that work done. Yes,
we had a very minor make-out session too, but we really did do all of our
studying first, and had a last music practice too; since we won’t be able to do
that for the next week or so and we still need to be ready for Easter. We had all of that done by the time that Mom
and Dad got home from the Inn with Ethan and Ehlana, and then Michael went home
after just a quick visit with them because we were both going to work on
packing for our trip after that.
I took care of getting Ethan and Ehlana
tucked in for the night first while Mom and Dad got to work in the office; but
then I came up to my room and used a bit of Magi power to do most of my
packing. I’ve multi-tasked my bedtime
computer and email checks too, so once I have this update finished; I can call
it a night and get some sleep.
Before I do that; let’s talk snow. The weather forecast for Colorado is a bit
too warm for the next few days; and snowboarding might be tougher if they get
some rain too. I’m sure that you’re
amused reading this in the future that I’m wishing it would be colder for our
trip when I’ve hoped for warmer weather all winter. What’s even stranger is that the forecast for
here at home is really great for next week – at least for the temperatures; and
we’re going to miss out on that while we’re away too. Getting the chance to go snowboarding for a
week at a really great spot will be worth it – even if we can’t do that and
enjoy temperatures in the sixties and seventies too.
I’ll be writing all about my trip while we’re
there, though, and the start of that is just a couple of digital page flips
away for you whenever you’re reading this in my future; so I guess there’s no
point in speculating about any of that tonight.
There is one bit of news I should add before calling it a night. Michael, Tim, and Rowen are all going to stay
here with me tomorrow night so that we’ll be together in one place when it’s
time to head to the airport on Saturday morning. We’ll be doing that very, very early, since
our flight leaves early too; but napping along the way will be an option and I
expect we’ll likely be up late too.
Ethan and Ehlana are going to have sleepover buddies too, so we’ll
likely do a movie night in the lounge with them. I’ll be glad to do that with them, since I
won’t see them again until we get back from Colorado; but the twins are having
Naomi and Aiden over because they’re excited about getting to spend extra time
together over the next week while Naomi’s off from school too.
Finally, in case I don’t remember to
mention it tomorrow; my favorite collegians have just one day left for mid-term
exams; and then they’ll be heading home for the holidays too. Violet and Dillon will be going up to
Woodvale first; so I won’t see them before I leave; but then I might not have
seen them anyway depending on how late they’d have been driving home after
their exams tomorrow.
Wow – that reminds me that I did almost
forget a couple of birthday best wishes!
Happy 17th Birthday, Martin; and
Happy 1st Birthday, Marcus Malloy!
I shouldn’t be so distracted that I forgot
to start this update with that news; but then I really had no involvement with
either birthday today at all. I even
missed out on the phone calls to Woodvale and Crystal Springs because I wasn’t
home for dinner when Mom and Dad made those calls. Marcus was having a party, and Martin was
doing something with some friends tonight; but that’s pretty much all I know
about what they were doing today.
Maybe I should’ve had a longer chat with
Mom and Dad before coming up here tonight!
Oh well, I can’t do that now, and they
definitely wouldn’t want me interrupting them either; so I’ll just leave it
there – and let’s not discuss why my parents wouldn’t want me going down to
their room for a visit either.
Gee, look at the time! I’m suddenly very, very tired, and should get
the extra sleep tonight while I can; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
