I felt really good this morning after
getting a solid night of rest.  That’s
apparently not a good thing for me; since it meant that I was ready to party
all day; decided to do more than I should have; and ended up staying up late
because I didn’t follow the plan.
Most of my day was fairly normal for a
Thursday through until we were done classes for the day.  After that, I went to the Inn with Michael;
we did our homework; and then helped out with the dinner shift.  We stayed for game night even though I was
supposed to go home and get started on my work and studying.  Mom didn’t say anything to me about that and
left the choice up to me; which I should learn from; but probably won’t.  I did have fun playing games with Michael,
our families, and friends; so the only problem was time.  By the time we finished playing and getting
the dining room cleaned up and ready for the breakfast rush, it was ten-thirty;
and then I stopped in at Michael’s on the way home to have a bit of quiet time
with Michael before continuing on to my house at a bit after eleven o’clock.  The fun kind of delays continued while I had
chats with Mom and Dad and then helped Ethan and Ehlana to get tucked in for
the night.  Add in a short soak in my
Jacuzzi, and it was past-midnight by the time I got started on my work and
studying.  It’s Thursday, so not doing
the work wasn’t an option, but I didn’t want to use a time phase; so I worked
in real time instead.
I have gotten everything done, and won’t
have to deal with extra work this weekend; but the trade-off is that I’ve only
traded that off against not getting much sleep tonight – and defeating the
extra effort I put in to get more sleep last night.  That sucks for me, but it’s the way it is;
and I’ll deal with it – and the lack of sleep tonight.  Crashing for the few hours I can do that for
is an option now, though, and I’m past-ready to do that; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
