Happy 10th Birthday, Natalie Morris!

This update is early because Naomi and I have to get to Natalie’s party soon; and Ethan will be meeting up with Aiden and some of the guys for some biking and park play time while we’re busy.

It was cold and foggy this morning, but we still went outside for Tai Chi by the river.  That was fun; we had a hot breakfast; and then a pretty good school day – though not very newsworthy except for some lunchtime birthday fun for Natalie.  While Naomi and I will be at Natalie’s party, we are not staying for the sleepover she’ll be doing with just her best friends; so we’ll be here at home and having a co-ed sofa sleepover with Ethan and Aiden instead.

All of the best fun for our day is still ahead of us, but we’ll have to write about those adventures tomorrow night, and need to move on soon anyway; so, until next time...

Ehlana and Ethan:

Our Tai Chi workout was indoors this morning due to rain; and w stayed indoors for most of the day after that too – whether doing our home-schooling adventures with our friends and cousins or working at the lab again after that.  The only changes from the past few days for our lab time were that Mom was with us for about half of that time and we had a few Magi volunteers to work with on our Magi-powered ‘vaccine solution’ tests.  The details for that work are available in the coronavirus research project archives, but we can report that we have successfully been able to use our healing talents to immunize those Magi test subjects.  There is still more work to be done to be ready to do the same to non-Magi, but that has more to do with making that happen without them being aware that we’re using our Magi talents.  Micro bursts of time phasing will likely end up being our solution to that, but the added power drain to do that too for thousands of ‘patients’ will be a bit daunting – especially now that we also have a much-better idea about how hard it is to treat even a few people.

That extra effort today has everything to do with why we’re having an early bedtime.  We got home late from the lab; had a pizzeria pizza for dinner; and Mom’s Magi lesson was short – and related to our work at the lab before she sent us upstairs for bath or Jacuzzi time ahead of the early-to-sleep order.  That is all we have for today, though, and we are happy with our work and progress with getting ready to help our community with getting past the pandemic; so we’re feeling great as well as tired and ready to crash and nap for the rest of the night.  We’re going to take tomorrow night off from the work after our last school day of the week, but will be spending some more time at the lab this weekend because we really do want to try and be ready to start this program while Cassie and Michael are home for their spring break – and Easter.

We can write about that news as it happens for us, though, and we really are ready to go and get some sleep; so, until next time...

Ehlana and Ethan:

Dinner at the Inn last night was awesome; and so was our sleepover with Naomi and Aiden.  The kids at that dinner party were on the edges of the birthday fun while the parents led the roasting and conversation, but we were happy to enjoy our food and the interaction with our parents for the usual cameo birthday moments like the song, gifts, candles, and cake entertainments.  We followed that up with a group Magi lesson back at home that Mom led us through; and then we wrapped up our day with a movie, cuddle time, and co-ed sleepover in the lounge.

Starting today with Tai Chi by the river for six of us was awesome; our school day was good but uneventful; and we had another play day at the lab between the end of school and dinnertime with Mom and Dad.  There isn’t a lot of news to write about from our lab time, but we’re definitely moving toward a Magi-powered solution to our vaccine concerns; and we’re looking to be ready to put that plan into action starting by as early as the Easter weekend.  Our timing for that is in part because Cassie and Michael will be home for their spring break; so we’d have an extra Magi Healer around to help out with the job.

The rest of our day has been quiet.  Dinner with Mom and Dad was quick and easy; our evening was standard work and studying for a school night; and we wrapped up early-enough to allow for bath or Jacuzzi time – though we really don’t need to comment on the fact that only two Jacuzzis and one tub were used by the four people in this house.

We decided to have a bit of music play time after meeting up again after getting ready for bed; had fun with that; and now we’re pretty much ready to call it a night and get some sleep – so we’ll wrap this up and go do that now.  Until next time...

Happy 41st Birthday, Hannah!

Our day was a bit different than yesterday – at least up until now, but only because this was a home-school day; it is a bit cooler; and we’ve had more rain.  Tai Chi by the river was an option because it wasn’t raining at the time; we had a standard week day breakfast; and then our online studies and assignments kept us busy until a bit after two o’clock.  We headed for the lab after that; and this update is early because we’re getting ready to go out to dinner at the Inn for Hannah’s birthday celebration.  We’re also going to have a sleepover with Aiden and Naomi to help out with giving Hannah a kid-free night for one of her gifts, but the rest of that news can wait for tomorrow night.

Before we move on to the family-and-friends fun for the rest of the day; there is one bit of news to write about from the lab.  We won’t include any vaccine names in this journal, but we definitively-eliminated one of them from use here – or anywhere else that we might have influence in those choices through our family businesses and charities.  In this case, the most-serious side-effects of the vaccine are life-threatening, but we also found other, longer-term risks that are entirely caused by changes the vaccine makes to the targeted cells and DNA.  We will be charitable and suggest that the researchers involved in that project didn’t know about those problems; and hope that their vaccine is stopped sooner instead of later – and before very many people get hurt or worse.  Yes, we’ll do what we can, but that needs to be anonymously; and makes doing that sort of thing very challenging.

Okay, that’s enough for today.  Naomi and Aiden will be here soon to drop off overnight bags, and the birthday dinner will start after the stores in town close for the night – or most of them do; so we’ll wrap this up and get back to having fun in the real world!

Happy 46th Birthday, Claire – Mrs. Norton!

Mom and Dad helped Claire out with having a happy birthday, including with a lunch at the Inn, but other than wishing her a happy day; we weren’t involved in her celebrations today.

Getting back to school was fun, and the post-holiday story time was good too; so with the continuing warm weather and only a dash or three of rain this morning; everything added up to an awesome day for us – even without the birthday-rated adventures.  While it was nice out this afternoon, we still opted to get back to work in the lab this afternoon – entirely because one of us wanted to get in on the work that Uncle Adam and Dillon are leading into all of the Covid vaccines.  That might sound easy, but actually testing what the vaccines are doing to cells and DNA is very complicated, and we want to make sure that our families, friends, and neighbors are safe whenever we are ready to offer whichever vaccine proves to be best – if any of them do earn our stamp of approval.  We don’t need to get into the details for that, but if we don’t like any of our results from these tests, we’re still looking at a combined placebo shot put together with a Magi-powered immunity that wouldn’t have any side-effect risks.  As long as everyone has the antibodies to protect them – and pass any tests too; the only major problem with making that happen is doing that for a couple of thousand people without them knowing it.  We’ll keep you posted on that project; and expect to make some decisions on that very soon.

We played at the lab until dinnertime; that was a late meal hat included grilled burgers and jumbo hotdogs with salad sides; and then we’ve had a quiet work-study evening since then.  That’s pretty much all of the news we have for today, and we’re ready to get some sleep now too; so, until next time...
