Michael and I had fun with our sofa
sleepover; and I’ll also admit that we didn’t just fall asleep because I used a
bit of Magi healing for both of us so that we weren’t too tired for a bit of
make-out play time first. This, by the
way, was my first night at Michael’s since Rebecca left for school; and it’s a
bit weird to be the only two teens in the house with Miranda and Jacob. That had no impact on our choice to have that
bit of play time before going to sleep, but we did have fun with Michael’s
parents before they headed for bed; and it was nice having breakfast with them
this morning too.
So, my Saturday ended well; our morning was
great too – including Tai Chi for two by the river because Mom and Dad ended up
with a kid-free night – and skipped Tai Chi while the twins were with Naomi and
Aiden. Jacob made up a special
breakfast; Michael and I took care of the clean-up; and then we had a busy
morning at church and Sunday school. The
rain was coming down by then, but I won’t say anything about that when we had
nothing compared to what’s going on this weekend in Texas.
We went to the Inn straight from the
church; Michael and I worked all day through to close except for our breaks;
and then I came home after seeing Michael to his door along the way. He has a full day of football training
tomorrow, but I only have a half-day of cheerleading; so he’ll need the sleep
more than I do. That doesn’t mean I’m
not tired because I have been working on the family business since getting into
bed with Mandy – after having a bedtime chat with Mom, Dad, and the twins; and
then getting Ethan and Ehlana tucked in on my way up here.
I’m not going to write more about the work
I continued to do tonight related to the problems in Texas, but I will mention
that Mom is coordinating help; and we’ll be ready to really start helping once
it’s time to clean up and rebuild. That
isn’t to say we’re not helping right now, because we are, but while the storm
is ongoing; we can’t do much more than send money to help with emergency
services. Our businesses will be in a
much better position to help with the work that will follow – and take years as
the affected towns and cities are cleaned up and rebuilding begins.
That’s still more than I wanted to include
here; since this is really just one problem – and we deal with issues like this
all around the world on an ongoing basis.
This hurricane is big news for everyone in our country because it’s here
at home for us, but my perspective is different, and while I don’t want to
minimize how serious it is for the people directly affected; this hurricane
really is a blip in time when viewed from the Magi perspective that encompasses
millennia. I also have issues that I
deal with elsewhere that are just as serious – even though they don’t get the
same attention as this storm has been given from the national media.
All of that work has added up to another
late night for me, but I do have time for a nap; and will do some self-healing
in the morning. We have just one week
left of our summer holidays, but I won’t be taking much time off when I’m going
to be busy with work and cheerleading.
We have a trip to the city for back-to-school shopping too, and that’ll
be fun; but that’s going to mean doing more work the rest of the week to make
up for that time off.
I can write about that as we go along with
the daily updates next week, though, and I’ve had enough fun for tonight; so,
until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
