My top news of the day is that I’m done my
work; and can take the next week and a half off!
Okay, I might have to do a bit of work here
and there, but Mom and Aunt Leanne will handle any major issues that come up
while I’m away; and I have all of my extra work finished a day ahead of
schedule. Doing that required working in
a time phase for most of the hours between the time I got home and when I
wrapped up at eleven o’clock, so I’m worm out now; but it was worth it – and Mom,
Dad, and the twins all took advantage of some of the time phasing to do extra
work tonight too. I’m in bed with Mandy
now, and as soon as I finish this report; I’ll be heading off to
dreamland. The extra rest won’t quite
make up for the extreme power drain, but it will help; and I’ll self-heal the
rest of the way to normal in the morning.
I don’t actually have much else to write
about from today. Rowen and I had fun
this morning playing dress-up and doing our hair and make-up together; we had
Ehlana with us for some of that play time; and I had fun with the Tai Chi
workout and at breakfast too. The
weather continues to cool down toward freezing again, but we still hit the low
forties today; which is pretty good for the first day of February. The cold weather isn’t supposed to last long,
but let’s not start looking ahead to spring quite yet. We’ve been lucky so far this winter here at
home, but that isn’t the case everywhere; and we could still get a turn or two
at some ‘real’ winter weather before we’re done with it.
The weather in Orlando was of more interest
to all of the band members today, and it is still looking pretty good for next
week. Some of our classmates are
switching to hours for the big countdown to departure, but I’m not really
thinking about it like that – even though I am as excited as anyone else about
the trip. Our teachers are trying their
best to keep us working on our studies, but that’s getting tougher for them;
and I don’t expect them to try very hard to get much done tomorrow or
Friday. They are adding in some work
that is related to our trip – or will be part of the adventure that we’ll have
homework for while we’re away, but we can deal with that without having the
work get in the way of the sun and fun.
Just in case that bit of non-news is a
surprise to someone reading this in the distant future, it is actually normal
in our current time to include educational aspects for all school trips. While the music experience is the main
purpose f this trip, we’ll also be getting lessons through our trips to Disney,
Cape Canaveral, and Sea World. I’ll
write about all of that as we go along next week, so if you can’t wait to read
all about that; just keep flipping digital pages until you get there!
For right now, I really just want to crash
and nap – especially now that I have the chance to get more than two or three
hours of rest. I won’t rank this day as
anywhere near a best-ever, but since all of the work is getting me set up for a
great week in Florida; I’m okay with that – and will be even happier on
Saturday when we’re on our way out of town and off on the best school adventure
ever of my life so far!
I do need to be rested and ready for that,
though, and don’t need to add anything else to this update; so, until next
time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
