Ethan:
It was a bit cooler today, but still a nice
summer day. Ehlana and I were at the lab
this morning; we split our afternoon entertainment between helping Mom at home
with the holiday weekend prep work and going out to play with our friends. We were home again for another easy meal with
some pre-cooking multi-tasking; and then Ehlana and I had Naomi and Aide with
us to help out with the younger cousin entertainment while the parents were
busy with their last ball practice of the summer.
Mom did a Magi lesson with the cousins,
Ehlana, and me after we got back from the park; it was bath time after that;
and now I’m ready to go to sleep. We’ll
be doing more work than play over the next couple of days, so that isn’t all
that exciting, but we’re sure to have some late nights this weekend; so I’ll
sleep while I can.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
Our friends were doing some complaining
today about the work we’re all doing ahead of the holiday weekend, but we’re
seven; and I just find that amusing when the guys that are complaining the most
are being asked to do the least – like clean their own rooms and not trash the
rest of the house. I’m not comparing
that to what’s asked of any of the rest of us, but I am suggesting that some of
our friends could use a bit of perspective.
My play time at the lab was fun, and while
my experiments are still failing; we do still seem to be on the right track to
work out the problem we’re having with the current cold cure attempts ‘killing’
our cellular patients. We’ll get there
eventually, and the lack of successes that are part of life for researchers can
be frustrating; we always learn new things that won’t just apply to the work we’re
doing. I won’t bore you with the details
when I write about them in my research journals and reports, but for instance;
we’re learning a lot about the differences between Magi Master immune systems
and ‘normal’ human immune systems – and there is much more going on there than
just our talent for self-healing. If we
could ever figure out a way to boost immune systems to our level; that could
offer protection to nearly everyone from most communicable illnesses.
That’s an even tougher problem to solve
than the common cold, though; so don’t expect me to solve it anytime soon.
I won’t be doing anything else tonight;
since I’m tired now and need to get some sleep.
Along with the work at the lab; we helped out around the house after
lunch; had a couple of hours of play time between that work and dinner; and
then Mom had us help her with getting the pre-cooking work done around
dinnertime and before she needed to have everything cleaned up before her co-ed
ball practice. We played with the cousins
while the parents were busy with that; Mom did a cousins’ Magi lesson after
that; and now she and Dad have been working in the office while Ethan and I got
cleaned up and ready for bed. We have
two days left until the holiday weekend; it’s going to be great to have Cassie
and Michael home; and I’m going to rest up tonight in the hopes that we’ll get
to spend time with them while they’re here – along with the rest of our
families and friends.
I guess that’s it for tonight, so I’ll get
started on that nap time now; and then we’ll likely have a near-repeat of today
on Thursday – except without the baseball fun.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
