Tai Chi by the river this morning was good,
if a bit cool; Michael stayed for breakfast before hurrying on to his morning
weight training with the guys; and Ehlana and I wrapped up our early morning
with a bit of hair and dress-up play time until Rowen stopped in to pick me up
on her way to school.
The last day of the month hasn’t been
particularly special, but I have had quite a bit of fun to go along with the
studying and work that has filled most of my day. Nice, warm spring weather continued today,
and that was nice for the walks between home, school, and the Inn, but other
than our outdoor play time at school; I didn’t get to enjoy the sun and warm
much. We had a fairly busy school day on
the class work side of things; mostly because we’re wrapping up modules in
quite a few of our classes before doing a round of testing next week and then
moving on to the last subject modules of the year. That sounds great; though most of my
classmates aren’t thinking about that in terms of being weeks away from final
exams.
While we were kept busy in our classes,
Michael and I were busier after school.
We did our homework at the Inn with Rebecca and Jenny doing their work
then too. The staffing for the night
turned out to be a bit light for the dinner rush; so the four of us pitched in
early and kept busy straight through until the game night action started –
except for short dinner breaks that we did in pairs so that we didn’t fall
behind with the dishwashing or prep line.
Michael and I were able to take our food outside and eat by the river;
but that really was just a short break that didn’t really give us a chance to
wind down at all from the busy.
Game night was a fun few hours of play time
with our families and friends. The Stone
and Proctor families did not bring home any championships this week; but we
managed to have an entertaining evening together despite that small
disappointment. Once the Inn was cleaned
up and ready for the morning, Michael and I walked home with both of our
families; didn’t get to have much of a goodnight hug and kiss thanks to having
Miranda and Aunt Leanne teasing us about it; and then it was time for me to get
home and started on my studies and work.
Mom did my Magi lesson with me first; we put
Ethan and Ehlana to bed after that; and I’ve been doing my language studies, archive
assignment, and family business work since climbing into my own bed with Mandy
about three and a half hours ago. I won’t
say that much of that study and work was much fun, but I did get everything
done on my to-do list; so I’m a happy camper – if a very tired one.
We don’t have any major plans for this
weekend – other than Leah’s 2nd birthday on Saturday, and I’m good
with that; since that should give Michael and I at least one or two
opportunities for some quality alone time.
There will be some work on Saturday too; but I’m not going to help out
at the Inn on Sunday. I’m ready for a
weekend off from that; though I’ll still miss spending that time with Michael
and his family. I’m hoping that Ethan,
Ehlana and I can have some fun with Mom and Dad instead; but we’ll see how that
goes.
Anyway, I’m ready to get started on my nap,
so that’s all for tonight, folks; and, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
