Ethan:
We’ve had a good day, but Cassie’s back at
her townhouse; I don’t feel like writing about anything; and I’m going to leave
it to Ehlana to cover the news of the day – or not; since she’s feeling a bit
sad tonight too.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
We’re both sad – and worried about Cassie
being on her own. That isn’t from
anything we’ve sensed or foreseen, but those warnings usually come a bit
too-late for us to help her from home; and we all know that there is reason to
worry when the Gwyneth Hathorne definitely knows that Cassie is registered for
the summer session – and Michael, Rowen, and Tim are not.
I don’t want to spend time worrying about
something we can’t do anything about; so let’s do the quick update; and then I’ll
just get some sleep too.
We had a gang for Tai Chi this morning
because the Carringtons joined us too.
Cassie was booked for breakfast with Michael and his family, but we
ended up keeping our aunt, uncle, and cousins for our morning meal; and then we
had a good morning at church that included lots of fun with Cassie. She got teased a lot about her need for ‘summer
school’ and some of the offers to keep Michael warm and happy while she was
away were a bit inappropriate – especially while we were still at the
church! Mom and Dad hosted the family
and friends barbeque lunch, but there were lots of donations; and then Cassie
spent a few hours playing with us – Ethan, me, our cousins, and friends –
including biking and park play time.
Mom and Dad booked the early buffet for
dinner so that Cassie could get on the road in decent time; that was a last
blast of food and fun that Michael joined us for before getting back to work in
the kitchen; and then Mom and Dad made sure that the goodbyes were short for
Cassie once we’d gone home and she’d put Mandy in the car that was already
packed with everything else she was taking with her. Once she was gone, we did some work or
studying in the office; took Silkie for a bedtime walk; and then there was some
Jacuzzi or tub time that I just finished about fifteen minutes ago. I’d stay up and catch up on my lab readings,
but that would give me too much time to think; so I’ll go with the sleep
instead – and use the lab to keep busy with next week while missing Cassie
again – if I can do that. We do have
final tests and exams at school ahead of our wrap-up play week; so Ethan and I
might have to play student some of the time too and at least pretend that we
need to get ready for those Grade Two tests.
Stay tuned –we’ll let you know how that
goes for us. For now, though, that’s all
I have; it’s time to get back to the real world again; and then move on to
dreamland soon after that. Let’s hope
that they’ll all be happy ones tonight.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
