Here’s another quick update coming your way;
but that isn’t because of an early bedtime tonight – I’m doing my nightly
computing now ahead of a movie night in the lounge that might end early for me
if I fall asleep while hanging out with Michael, Rowen, Tim, and our four
junior movie night buddies.
My morning was spent working around the
house and in the kitchen with Mom while the twins were at the lab with Uncle
Adam and Dillon. Yes, Violet and Dillon
are back home from Woodvale, but haven’t been mentioned in my journal because I
haven’t seen them much – even when we were at the lab yesterday. Mom and I did more cleaning and prep work for
our incoming weekend guests; we pre-cooked some dishes for the holiday meals;
and made up a shopping list so that Mom could do groceries this afternoon while
Michael and I went out to play with Ethan and Ehlana and kept out of her
way. Michael had to work at the Inn for
a lot of the day, but isn’t working close; so he’ll be here soon for the start
of our movie night. His afternoon break
was the majority of my play time with the twins – and Naomi, Aiden, and Sophia;
so we biked the park trails again and had some playground fun before wrapping
up his break with a visit to the Emporium for snacks and drinks before we
dropped him off at the Inn and headed for home.
I helped Mom with an easy dinner for seven
that was ready when Dad got home; we ate in the sunroom; and then I was set
free without helping with the clean-up so that I could get ready for our movie
night. I have the lounge set up already;
and am multi-tasking my computing with getting freshened up and changed before
Michael, Rowen, and Tim get here. Naomi
and Aiden are spending the night for a last sleepover ahead of the holiday weekend,
but we’re not doing a teen sleepover too – mostly because Michael, Rowen, and
Tim are all working in the morning anyway; and that will be another breakfast
shift start to the day for Michael.
Yes, there’s a small chance that Michael
will end up staying if I do fall asleep on him, but I don’t sense that’ll
happen tonight – while I also won’t be surprised if I do crash, nap, and miss
parts of the movies. I’ll mention here
that the boys get points for us actually having a movie night, since it means
that they’ll be settling for only keeping an eye on the college football scores
during intermissions or on their smartphones; and Rowen and I appreciate their
sacrifice!
I also need to wrap this up because they’ll
be here any minute, and I don’t have anything else to add tonight anyway; so,
until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
