Ethan:
It’s the first day of October; yet the
temperature climbed into the eighties today – something that’s definitely a bit
unseasonal for our little part of the world.
Nobody is complaining, though; and we’ll enjoy the extra break while we
have it.
The nice weather is great for the farmers,
but it’s pretty good for the kids and teens too. We got to spend more time outdoors today
while at school; Ehlana and I went biking with our friends after school; and we
even had dinner outdoors because we could.
Mom took us to the lab after dinner so that we could still do some work
there; used a time phase so we could get more done; and included our Magi
lesson with Ehlana’s research. Dad
stayed home and did his work in the office; we got home and did the bedtime
snack and story with him by ten o’clock; and now it’s time for me to get some
sleep.
Tomorrow is a rather important day for our
family; so I’ll need the rest!
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
Ethan’s right about us needing the sleep,
but after all of the outdoor fun; I needed a soak in my Jacuzzi first – while he
opted for the quick shower before bed.
The nice weather really is great; and I’ll be okay with it if the trend
continues all month – especially if we can get hot weather like this for the
fall festival. I know, it isn’t quite
the same without the ‘feel’ of fall in the air, but thrill rides are more fun
when it’s warm – even when we’re still very limited on the rides we can go on
at our age.
That’ll be a bigger story by next week,
though; so I’ll save up that news for then.
All I have to add to Ethan’s report is that my experiments tonight were
another flop; and the research goes on with the same problem – my current ‘cure’
is still killing the ‘patient’ cells I test because the temperature gets too
high and the cells die along with the cold virus. While that might not sound like a significant
issue to overcome, trust me; it’s not as easy as using a cold-air shield to
defend against fire or heat. I do need
to get the rest tonight, though; so I’ll have to let that go and think about it
again tomorrow.
We have had a good day – especially the
work at the lab with Mom and the play time with our friends; so I’m happy even
without any success at the lab today.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
