Yes!
I actually managed to stay awake for a while with Michael when we had
some alone time for a change! We enjoyed
a fairly hot make-out session before getting around to the sofa sleepover part
of our night; and then our wake-up call was fun too – even though that was
early; and Michael needed to get to work at the Inn for the breakfast
shift. Not having Michael with us for
Tai Chi or breakfast meant that I had to settle for some fun time with my
family instead, and that was an entertaining hour and a half or so, but then it
was time to get to work for the rest of the morning.
Since I’d been awake early anyway, I’d
gotten ready early too; so I took care of the kitchen clean-up and some laundry
chores before we all headed out to work.
For Dad, that was to the office; while the rest of us headed for the lab
– after taking Naomi and Aiden home or to the bakery first. I ended up splitting my morning between a bit
of play time with Ehlana in ‘her’ lab and some family business work time in the
archives with Ethan; with the second part of that work-play done in a time
phase so that I could get all of my work done – and Ethan could do more with
his archives work. We stayed at the lab
until one; went home for a late lunch; and then Michael and I went biking on
the trails for a while during his afternoon break. We followed that up with some swim time that
Ethan and Ehlana joined us for; and then we stopped at the Emporium for ice
cream treats before walking Michael back to the Inn ahead of his dinner shift.
We had a fairly quiet rest of the
afternoon, an early dinner, and then I was off to the school for my baseball
practice while the twins went to the park with Mom and Dad. My practice went fairly well, but it was different
without Carolyn there; and Coach Sarah wasn’t as fired up without her favorite
player there to push all of us to work harder.
We probably tried harder to cheer her up because she was missing her
little girl than we did with the actual practice, but that was okay; and I
think that it did help a bit by the time we wrapped up our workout for the
night. Rowen and I went to the park to
meet up with Michael and Tim, but while Michael took the time for a quick swim
in the river; he headed back to the Inn to help out with the close because Jacob
and Miranda were short-staffed for the night and had been busier than expected
for a Wednesday night.
I came home after that; spent a bit of time
with Mom, Dad, and the twins while Violet and Dillon had gone somewhere else
after helping with kid control at the park; and then I came up to my room to
enjoy some quality Jacuzzi time. I’m
still doing that while writing this; and plan on going to sleep a minute or two
after I crawl into bed with Mandy. I’m
glad that Michael and I were able to have that play time last night, but I do
need to get some sleep now and then too; and that is an option that I plan on
taking tonight – even though it would be more fun to have Michael here for
another night.
That wouldn’t be good for him because he
has another breakfast shift to work at the Inn in the morning, though, and he’s
tired too; so we aren’t doing that. I’m
also going to wrap this up, since I don’t really have any other news for the
day – not to mention that I’m getting a bit wrinkled up from enjoying too much
tub time already.
It had been a pretty good day, if not very
exciting. That should change a bit
starting tomorrow, since we have another Quarry Lake birthday party and camping
adventure to look forward too – though we’ll be juggling work and other
responsibilities around that fun too.
That’ll be news for tomorrow, though, and I do want to get out of the
tub soon and off to bed; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
