Christmas Video of the Day!
Here’s another Elf Pets song – one that
might make it into the school Christmas pageant this year.
Ethan:
Speaking of the pageant, we are working on
our class song already, but Ehlana and I won’t be doing anything extra; and we
miss having Cassie and Michael helping out with the music for the primary
grades. I’m sure we’ll miss all of their
musical contributions; but that’ll be especially-true for their duets; since
they are always special. I hope that we
won’t need to wait until after they’re finished college to hear any new ones
from them!
We’ve had another fairly-quiet Monday –
though that’s partly in comparison to a really fun Sunday. The holiday entertainment at school is
kicking up another notch; so the music practice time was just part of the
holiday-themed fun that included lessons and crafts meant to make learning more
fun for us – and actually get a bit of teaching done despite all of the
distractions. Ehlana and I didn’t have
Christmas-themed work at the lab or archives, but we had fun while playing
there after school; and then we had a quiet night at home with Mom and Dad that
included studying and work after dinner and a Christmas movie that we made time
for because Mom used a time phase for the work and cuddle time so that we
wouldn’t be up late too.
Those time-phased hours are real, though,
so it has been a long day; but we do get to have a normal night of sleep to
help make up for that extra effort and the entertainment wrap-up for our
day. There’s no doubt that our day will
prove to be better than Cassie’s while she works to get ready for final exams
next week, but then she’s mostly-busy helping her friends and keeping up with
the daily assignments; since she doesn’t really have to worry about acing those
exams. She’ll be up later than us too –
probably by a lot, but I need to get to sleep now; so I’ll just hope that she
doesn’t overdo it this week – or through until they come home a week from
Friday. We definitely don’t want Cassie
to be too-tired to have a fun holiday with us once she is here for the
Christmas break!
Okay, I’m rambling; that’s all I have; and
I’m done for tonight – in more ways than with this update. ;^)
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
The only news from today that I want to
write about is my work at the lab. We’re
getting really, really close to a cure for colds. Our tests today were really good, and while
they still ended in a fail; I think that I have the last problems figured
out. We’re at the point now where I wish
that I could just be at the lab day and night until we get it right, but that
isn’t an option; so I’ll have to settle for letting Uncle Adam and Dillon have
most of the fun while I still get in on most of the testing and the
modifications that are usually done with some Magi-powered assistance. The cure is going to be plant-based, though,
so once we have it; growing the plants and making supplies of the lozenges we’ll
use for the final product will be easy.
Okay, it won’t be easy to do that in
quantities needed to treat billions of patients, but it won’t require massive
injections of Magi power to do that work; and the expansion that will be needed
for the new crops will take years – or decades.
I’m getting ahead of myself, but can’t help
but be excited about the impending success – and I really am sure that we’re
there now. Stay tuned while I go get
some sleep; since tomorrow could be the day – and I’ll predict that we’ll have
our cure before Christmas for sure.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
