The weather today was quite a bit cooler
than it had been on the weekend, and that might have had something to do with
it being a quieter day around here too.
Okay, there wasn’t any birthday fun going
on either; but that really wasn’t a big deal for me – and it wasn’t an issue at
all for most of the kids and teens at school anyway. The big news at school today was anything to
do with Valentine’s Day or the dance this Friday night. The younger kids are busy with crafts and we
all have at least some themed lessons and assignments that added a bit of fun
here and there. I guess that doesn’t sound
as though it fits in with a quieter day; but it still was a basically
uneventful day. Michael and I had fun
after school and this evening too; though our time together at his house was
also fairly subdued too. We did our
homework after school while Rebecca was busy with basketball; enjoyed a great
dinner with his family; helped with the work both before and after our meal;
and then had some music play time before wrapping up our evening with a little
chat with his parents before I headed home for the night at nine o’clock.
The rest of my evening was under parental
control; which is why I’m writing this while it’s still just coming up on
eleven-thirty. I was allowed a half-hour
of language study to go along with my family business work; but no archive
assignment to go along with my Magi lesson.
I’d still like to be doing more, and I’m falling a bit behind with all
of my studies; but Mom and Dad aren’t going to budge on this until they’re sure
I’m ready to put in the extra hours again; so I’ll just keep going with the
flow and try to avoid the temptation to cheat and do some extra work and
studying anyway.
Mom will be checking in on me soon, though;
so it’s time to wrap this up.
Oh, before I do that, Grandma and Grandpa
are in Brazil today; and will be spending the week there. Valentine’s Day in Brazil should be
awesome! Maybe Michael and I should find
out for ourselves some day; but we’ll have to settle for the school dance on
Friday and a babysitting night at home on Saturday this year. My friends might find the idea of my
grandparents having romance in their lives gross, and I really don’t need the
details; but I sure hope that romance isn’t over in my life by some arbitrary
age limit set by kids or teens.
Now that’s a scary thought more suited to
Halloween than Valentine’s Day, but I’ll have to wrap this up with that anyway;
since I hear Mom and Dad on the stairs now and I’m out of time.
Until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
