I’m getting run down, and have a busy day
to start in too-few hours from now; so I’m going to make this another short
update.
That isn’t because I’m getting tired of
football season, but while that is happening; football isn’t the only reason I’m
tired tonight. We were up early; Tai Chi
by the river was chilly and damp thanks to the overnight rain; and we had a hot
breakfast to make up for being chilled with wet feet. Michael stayed for that before heading home
to get changed and ready for his morning weight training; and I had some play
time with Ehlana while we got ready for school after taking care of the
clean-up.
I have absolutely no interesting news from
school today. Once we were set free, I
was kept busy getting the buses loaded with our band and cheerleading gear; and
then we headed out of town for Meadowvale.
Once we were there; we reversed the process; Rowen and I went out for a
quick dinner with some of our friends while the boys were busy with the team;
and then we were back at the school in time to cheer our heads off for our
team!
We had a lot to cheer about; and Michael
had a particularly good game with three touchdowns and an even better defensive
game that helped to keep Meadowvale from scoring any touchdowns. They did get four field goals, but we scored
a total of six touchdowns before we switched to field goals and a running-only
game for the entire fourth quarter. Our
band and cheerleading half time shows were really good too; and that helped us
to sell a lot of raffle tickets for the marching band fundraiser. The fifty-one to twelve final score was an
accurate reflection of the real game; and this was one match that wasn’t in
doubt even early in the game. This year;
we are just that much better than Meadowvale – and we’re now still undefeated
with three games to go in the regular season!
Having another party tonight wasn’t an
option, but while we still had all of the work to do at each end of the bus
ride; the trip was shorter; we weren’t at the Meadowvale school as long as we
sometimes are after other games; and we were done the work back at our school
by shortly after midnight. It was colder
by then, and the temperature could touch the forties by morning; but the cool
weather during the game just made it comfortable for the guys compared to the
too-hot games we’ve had earlier in the season.
We didn’t have rain, though, and every week we get this fall without
that problem – or an early snow; is a bonus in my books.
After we were done at the school, I brought
Michael home with me; we had some cuddle time in the living room instead of the
lounge so that we didn’t wake everyone up by stomping around the house; and he
went home at a bit after one – once we’d helped to warm each other up a bit
first with a minor make-out celebration for two. That was fun, and I would have been good with
going to bed after seeing Michael out, but I ended up needing to do some family
business work; and that took me an hour and a half to get finished.
This hasn’t been as short as I’d hoped, though,
and I don’t want to bore myself with the work details; so that’s going to be it
for tonight. We’ve a long, tough work
day ahead – starting in just a few hours for me, and while that isn’t really
going to be exciting; I’m overdue for helping out at home and need to put in
the time. I have no other plans for
Saturday night, but we’ll see how that goes; and I might just be ready to crash
if we have a particularly tough fall clean-up day.
That’s something that I can write about
with the next update, and I’m past-ready to crash into nap mode now anyway; so,
until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
