It’s the first day of March and the first
day of Lent.
While we don’t observe the traditions of
Lent in our family, I’ve decided to make an exception and give up late work
nights for Lent – the weeks between today and Easter! ;^)
Okay, I’m only joking about that, since it
really isn’t an option even if I’d like to do that; but going to bed early
tonight is Something that I can do thanks to the after-school work night; so
this is going to be a short update and then I’ll be off to dreamland and out
for the count.
We had a quiet morning around here; school
was just an average day without much going on beyond the usual lessons and class
work; and then I came home and really got to work on my family business to-do
list and my school and language studies.
I used a time phase for everything except dinner; had my work done by
eight o’clock; and had a soak in my Jacuzzi that didn’t include any
multi-tasking. Ethan and Ehlana just
finished tucking in for the night while on their way to bed; and Mandy and I
are ready for a long winter’s nap.
It won’t, by the way, feel like winter for
long, but it is going to be below freezing tonight; and the weather
flip-flopping seems more extreme when the temperatures drop so much in such a
short time – and then jump right back up again.
I won’t ask Mother Nature to make up her
mind, since she might just decide to pick a deep freeze until mid-April; but I
do like the warm a lot more than the cold.
Yes, that’s inconsistent, since I also wish we’d at least had enough
snow this winter for some sledding and snowboarding, but then that won’t be as
big of a deal for me anymore now that I can drive to the snow if I want to do
that without needing to get major parental support for those trips.
Okay, that’s it for now, and time for me to
head into nap mode; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
