Day two of our long weekend has been a
rain-out too.
That meant Tai Chi was indoors; we followed
that up with a crazy couple of hours of work and fun while getting ready for
church and having breakfast; and then I was busy for another two and a half
hours at the church with the holiday weekend service. The rain didn’t help for that – at least when
it came to getting to and from the church; but we still had a great service
that included the usual skits and music that always makes for an upbeat teen
service.
After that, I was off to the Inn; and
worked a lot of the time straight through until we wrapped up around eleven o’clock. Yes, Michael and I had some breaks mixed in
there, but we didn’t venture out into the rain; and usually pitched in here and
there to help keep everything running smoothly when the rain had the dining
rooms filled to capacity for all three buffets with extra customers willing to
come back as tables became available.
Sure, that’s great for business at the Inn, but not so hot for the other
stores in town. It’s also been lousy for
our fundraiser booth at the park; since it didn’t open at all again today. We’ll need a miracle to hit our goal for the
weekend with that now; but will hopefully still be ahead of schedule on the
fundraising thanks to a really good batch of orders for the fruit and vegetable
boxes.
For me, though, today was mostly about
working. Once I got home at a bit after
eleven; I said goodnight to the few parents and kids still awake; came up to my
room; and have been soaking in the Jacuzzi while multi-tasking my bedtime
computing that included a bit of family business work tonight. Mandy would have found somewhere else to
sleep if I’d tried to go to bed without cleaning up, so she’ll be happy, but I’m
also ready to crash now; so let’s wrap this up so that I can get out of the tub
and finish getting ready for bed.
I should mention that Ethan has Aiden and
Jayden here with him tonight, but I’ve missed out on their play time tonight
while I was busy at work. Ehlana’s here,
but she was already sleeping by the time I got home. We didn’t do a full story trade after I got
home, so I don’t know what everyone did today while indoors due to the rain;
though I do know there were joint meal gatherings at two different houses for
lunch and my family was at the late buffet so that the working members of the
family could still go to it too. If
there’s anything good that I hear about tomorrow; I’ll pass that along.
The rain has stopped now, and we might get
a decent day for the Fourth of July, but there’s still a chance of rain in the
afternoon again; so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for that. We do have the big parade in the morning,
though, and I want to be ready for that; so it’s time for me to return to the
real world now and get to the sleeping part of my night soon. I’ve been doing this soak in the tub in a
time phase; so I’ll even manage to do that before midnight if I hurry.
I’ll hope that the last day of our holiday
weekend will be the best – and make up for the rest! You’ll be able to flip the digital page in my
future to find out whether that works out for me or not, but I’ve got to go and
live that day; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
