Happy 16th Birthday, Lily!
It’s heading toward four o’clock now; so
this is going to be a short update.
Tai Chi was indoors thanks to the much
colder temperatures today, but it is December; so I won’t be one of the
snowflakes complaining about a couple of cold days. It is moderately funny that nobody ever
complains about the days that are too-warm for the season!
Moving along, the only news from school
today is the ongoing practices for the pageant; Lily’s noontime birthday fun;
and her graduation to the ranks of the next-level drivers club. Lily’s parents threw a sweet-sixteen party
for her too, and Michael and I stopped in for a visit and to drop off a gift;
but we didn’t do that until after we finished working the dinner shift at the
Inn. We needed to do that because quite
a few teens needed the night off for a birthday party they were attending; and
Miranda needed the extra hands in the kitchen.
I wasn’t drafted or anything; but volunteered instead of going to the
party without Michael.
I really do want to make this quick; so
Michael and I worked until a bit after seven; spent an hour at Lily’s house by
the time we made the rounds and could head out again; and then we came back to
my house to get our studying done – along with a music practice and a minor
snogging session that ended when Mom and Dad got home with the twins from game
night. Mom did a Magi lesson with
Michael and me; he went home at a quarter after eleven; and then I got to work
on my studying and family business jobs.
Getting all of that done took longer than I’d hoped, but I am ready to
take the weekend off as much as possible; so it will be worth losing the sleep
over.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t still want
all of the rest I can get, though; so let’s wrap this up so that I can do that
right now.
My Christmas music video pick for the day
is a new, original Christmas song from a favorite a Cappella artists on
YouTube. Michael and I have fun with his
songs; and have added this one to our Christmas favorites this year.
Have fun with that while I’m off to start
my short winter’s nap; and, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
