We’re back to school today, and Mother
Nature decided to give us a lovely weather day with lots of sunshine and
temperatures that climbed into the high-forties for the first time in weeks.
It wasn’t warm-enough for Tai Chi by the
river this morning, but it wasn’t much below freezing either; and the change
from the deep freeze we’ve just gone through felt like a big deal today – and we’re
going to get another couple of days of the warm before getting colder again.
I don’t actually have much to write about
from our first day back at school. We
had a good day; traded holiday stories with our friends; and started getting
ready for our mid-term exams. I had
dinner at Michael’s house after we had some play time at the park with Ethan,
Ehlana, Naomi, and Aiden instead of doing our homework first. That meant getting that done after dinner and
doing the clean-up from that meal; so Michael and I were busy with that – and with
a music practice as we spent some time getting ready for our band and teen
praise team practices. We spent a bit of
time on a minor make-out session too, but that was just a blip in our day – and
we spent more time having a bedtime visit with his parents before I came home
for the night at ten-thirty.
Mom did a Magi lesson with me once I was
there; I took care of the bedtime routine with the twins; and then came up to
my room to get ready for bed and started on my work and studies. The only news I have from my work tonight is
that I started my next new language; and will be studying Ukrainian for the
next few months. My schedule may seem to
be speeding up, but in this case; it’s just a matter of how quickly I can learn
languages that are related to others I’ve already learned. In this case, there’s a good chance that I
won’t need three months; and I’m expecting to be done by March Break instead of
the end of the month.
Starting Ukrainian did mean spending a bit
more time on my work and studies tonight; so it’s getting pretty late and I
need to wrap this up and get some sleep.
Life will be slowing for some things now that the holidays are over, but
I’ll be replacing the extra work at the Inn with more work toward getting ready
for college. There will be fun mixed in
with that, but let’s talk about those plans with another update. Right now, I only have time for a nap, and I
want to get to that while I still can; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
