The only news story around town today was
the weather. Sure, it’s been getting
warmer around here for the past few days; but the temperature climbed into the
seventies today; so everyone wanted to be outdoors whenever possible to enjoy
the early, if only temporary, spring weather.
I was one of those warm-weather fans; so
being outside for lunch was a big deal; and I went home after school too
instead of working the dinner shift at the Inn tonight. Okay, the second part of that was because Mom’s
drafted Miranda to help her out with my little problem with over-working
myself; and I had orders to do my family business work and language studies
when I got home; but Mom did throw me a carrot or two.
The first was that Michael was sent over to
our house after he was done with the dinner rush at the Inn so that we could do
our homework and a music practice while Mom was at the Inn for game night with
Ethan and Ehlana; and the second was getting to do my work and studying outside
while keeping an eye on the twins while they played in the back yard and by the
river until dinnertime.
We also had that meal in the sunroom with
the windows open to let the warm breeze in; so we all had a really good
afternoon and evening.
Okay, I had an awesome evening, and the
studying and music time with Michael was part of that; but it was a fairly
brilliant make-out session in the lounge that was the best part of my day – and
Michael’s too. No, that was not part of
Mom’s plan for me tonight, but I am happy and tired in a good way as I’m
writing this and getting ready to go to sleep now! ;^)
Going into nap mode is also going to start
by ten o’clock-ish too; so the rest of Mom’s plan has worked out perfectly; and
she can’t seriously expect that Michael and I wouldn’t take advantage of the
alone time that hasn’t happened for us very often lately.
Getting the extra rest is a big part of
what I need most right now, though, and I don’t have any other major news to
report; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
