I’m writing this update before midnight on
a Thursday because Mom has ordered me to cut back for a while when needed – at her
discretion. For now, that means no
archive or language studies and only the must-do family business work anytime
she decides that I’m too worn down to keep up with everything I want to get
done every day. That’s the way it’s
going to be for the next month or two, and I’d argue the point; but it’s fairly
obvious that I have a problem with saying no to myself when it comes to doing
my work and studies.
I do still need to do all of that stuff,
though; so this is just temporary.
Sometimes it sucks; but that doesn’t change the fact that there are
things I need to do to get ready for my personal future that can’t be put off
indefinitely.
Anyway, so the bottom line for today is
that I only had a short Magi lesson with Mom tonight; no homework; and I was
only allowed to do a half-hour of family business work that was supervised in
the office before I was sent up to bed for the night. That was actually pretty much the only news
for today too. It was a quiet day at
school that was at least partly due to the extra-cold weather outside; and I
was indoors at the Inn from after school through until Mom and Dad took the
twins and me home for the night after game night. Michael and I did our homework first; helped
out in the kitchen through the dinner rush and clean-up; and then had fun
playing the games and hanging out with Ethan, Ehlana, Naomi, and Aiden for a
couple of hours.
I’m also under orders to have the lights
out, and preferably sleeping too, by midnight, so that’s all I have for
tonight; and, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
