I don’t have much news for today. Tai Chi by the river was a bit chilly with
the temperature dipping into the forties, but we dressed warmly-enough; and
this was just a reminder that our opportunities for being outdoors for our
morning exercise are going to be more limited as we move toward winter
again. Michael went home for a quick
breakfast after that before moving on to the school and his weight training
with the team; and I had fun with my family while we ate and got ready for the
day. Ethan, Ehlana, and I met up with
our best friends for the walk to school; and my classroom adventures were not
exactly exciting today.
A side-trip for some of that might be in
order, but to be honest, we’d be better off with Mandy as our next President
than the options available this year; so I should stay away from political
commentary for this entire election.
Instead of wasting my time with that; I’ll stay focused on the things I
can do something about – like all of the work we do through the family business
and charities.
Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned the word ‘charities’
when that’s one part of the kabuki theatre that is the presidential elections
this year, but since I did; I can assure you that we are not involved in any
way with the Clinton Foundation – or with any of the political campaigns going
on here or anywhere else in the world.
We’d rather use our money for more
important things – like making life better for everyone we work with in our
businesses or help through the charities.
I know it’s a novel concept; but it works for us!
Moving along, it really was a quiet day at
school, and since Michael was busy with football after school; I decided to do
as much of my family business work then instead of now. After getting home and having a short visit
with Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana; I worked in the office using a time phase; got all
of my work and studying finished; and helped the twins with their college
studies too while Mom took care of some other work around the house and made
dinner for four. I wasn’t part of those
dinner plans because Michael and I were at his house for dinner and the
evening; and I went over there with him when he stopped by to pick me up on his
way home from the school.
Dinner was nearly ready by the time we got
there; the gourmet meal was a bonus; and the dinnertime entertainment with his
parents, Rebecca, and Lucas was pretty good too. Lucas couldn’t stay after that because he
needed to be home to help out on the farm, so it was just Rebecca, Michael, and
me for the post-dinner clean-up; and then we all got busy with our
homework. We did that in the dining
room; had a visit in the living room with Miranda and Jacob again; and then
Michael and I went up to his room for a music practice and minor make-out
session before I needed to come home again.
I was back here by ten o’clock; did a Magi
lesson with Mom; took care of getting Ethan and Ehlana tucked in for the night;
and then came up to my room to get ready for bed too. Other than my usual bedtime computer and
email checks, there wasn’t anything else left for me to do tonight; so I’ll be
able to get to sleep before midnight for a second night in a row! With four practices on the schedule for
tomorrow that won’t happen three nights in a row; but I’ll enjoy them when this
does work out for me. This hasn’t been a
top-ten most-exciting day, but the fun level – and the work – will be kicking
up a few notches tomorrow; and I want to be ready to keep up with everything;
so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
