We dodged a drop or three of rain while
shopping this morning, but didn’t have any thunderstorms roll through until
this afternoon when having some bad weather didn’t really matter – except that
it made the travel time home for our family and friends a bit tougher. Nobody’s complaining about that because we’ve
had an otherwise perfect weather weekend for this holiday!
I have school in the morning; it’s been an
exhausting day; and I’m running out of steam fast; so this is going to be a
short report despite having such a busy, eventful day.
Tai Chi and breakfast for five was nice a
quiet. The holiday sale shopping was a
crazy and fun way to spend the morning; and we wrapped up the family part of
the holiday weekend fun with the noon buffet at the Inn. That was a highlight of the day for me, and
though I missed out on the packing up and goodbyes with my family; Miranda and
Jacob needed all the help they could get today for the buffets. I was glad to help, and we had fun along the
way, but it was also hot in the kitchen; and we were constantly running to keep
up with the work that goes along with putting on a total of five buffets in a
single day – if you include the breakfast buffet. You could even call it six buffets, since
that morning meal was more like two buffet sittings by the time they wrapped it
up at around ten o’clock.
I worked with Michael, Rebecca, and Jenny
all afternoon and through until close; we took breaks when we could; and we
were all exhausted by the time we headed for our homes. By the time I got to my house, Ethan and
Ehlana were ready for bed but waiting up for me. Mom, Ehlana, and I had some fun in my room
making sure that I was set up for morning and my first day of Grade Ten; and
then we met up with Dad and Ethan for a bedtime snack and story in the office
before I tucked my brother and sister in for the night and came back up to my
room.
Some Jacuzzi time was in order then; and I
multi-tasked that with most of my bedtime computing and some more family
business work. Though it isn’t late
compared to my bedtime for the past few nights, all of the busy has caught up
with me; and I’m going to need the extra rest tonight – and likely a bit of
self-healing in the morning too. Life is
just going to keep getting busier for me starting tomorrow; so I’ll take
advantage of the earlier nights when I can – even if that’s entirely because I’m
just too exhausted to do more work.
I don’t really want to think about that too
much tonight, so let’s just not do that; call it a night; and I’ll head off to
dreamland now.
Until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
