Relationship Note on Eleyna
I am so very thankful our thoughts and goals wound up the same. The support rendered is deeply appreciated. Your visit to Saikland Greens is much anticipated. The family home and village are being made ready and they are all excited to see you and hope to show you the Mirrored Ballroom in honor of Tehom, the new archives for the Vellichor Scholars, donations of memorabilia to the War Memorial if you have a desire to see them.

One of my old tutors taught me that if you care about something, believe in it, invest in it.
It does not have to be silver or writs, it can be time, effort, thought.
I do not usually write such things in my journals, and one might surmise that it was lofty thoughts about family, duty, or faith, having me put quill and ink to these pages to record that old lesson, but truth be told, it is seeing the servant staring pointedly at the dwindling supply of twists of 'fire starter' papers that brought such a memory to mind. Most of the reports and barony plan outlines wind up being filed so they can be reviewed later to see what worked and what did not and those reports have filled up the desk drawer and a large part of a chest already. It is the failed attempts at song writing that produce so many 'fire starters', and I have neglected doing that lately. Perhaps today I will seek some song inspiration. If it goes well, there still won't be 'fire starters' or at least too many of them and the servant shall have to invest some time and thought into finding alternate 'fire starters' to use.

It's been an emotional week with the loss of Bo, but this morning the funk I've been in has lifted.
Nothing gives me greater joy than hearing that the war horses I've trained have done well in their races. It makes what I do all worth while and I'm so very proud of them /and/ their riders.

Dear journal, it has been a busy few weeks. House Kennex strives, of course, to increase their numbers and somebody has to stand over them. That is not yours truly, by the way. That's yon admiral in a purple hat with a feather. Someone has to train them though, and that's become my job as of late.
I suppose it counts as time on the sea if I'm throwing would-be sailors and rowers over the gunwale of the Damsel to simulate what it might be like to be knocked overboard while we're plowing through the waves at speed. So far, there have only been two that didn't swim well enough to make it, and I'm sure that Kennex can find use for them somewhere. They were fine in calm water.
it should be noted that we tied pots and pans from the galley to them to simulate arms and armor. Lost a perfectly good bundt pan that way, come to think of it.

Relationship Note on Paige
The Countess of Bonespire came by the shop with an offer of cookies and conversation, which I could hardly have passed up despite a few projects keeping me busy and other distractions. I too often forget the pleasantness of just talking about the small things along with the big things. Family, hopes, the future. Plus it gives me a chance to offer what I call my favorite Life Lesson quotes. I should throw them into a book sometime. Anyhow! My sincerest thanks to Countess Paige for drawing me away from the forge for a bit to remind me again of the life going on outside it.

Lot of people posting they were bored yesterday. Lot of people posting they were interested.
So is it more likely that the bored people sat with the interested people?
Or is it more likely that the bored people all sat together?

There are few things worse in a social setting than being stuck in a conversation with a boring person. I’m not talking about quiet people. A person who keeps their own confidence is often thought of as mysterious or complex. Their silence makes people curious about what they may be hiding. No, a boring person is almost always someone who talks a lot, revealing that they are not very interesting. Boring people are such a menace, that there is a whole area of etiquette about politely getting away from the boring one at a social event.
Therefore, rather than rehash what is already known, I will endeavor to write a future journal on how to (hopefully) avoid ending up that boring person.

Maybe it serves me right for not checking the Whites often enough, but I was surprised to see my new, perfect dagger mentioned here, when I only received it a day or two ago. Truly, I received compliments on it within hours of beginning to wear it. Dame Ida's skill is truly amazing. Of course, there are many skilled weaponsmiths in Arx, but I'd recommend her work to anyone. I only wish I remembered how to use a knife! Skill in using small weapons is something I knew once, years ago, but I've somehow forgotten. Skill in a weapon of last resort seems useful, and now I have the perfect weapon to motivate me to relearn.

I am just SO bored.
I should have stayed at that little meeting of like minds -- the alcoholic book club, that. Good bit of fun. Then, business had to go and drag me away again. What am I supposed to do when I'm working now?
I was spending some of these idle moments, you see, drawing terrible designs in the margins. Some were less terrible. Which gave me the greatest idea, of course, and that lead to my extremely short run as a clothing designer. Mystery designer, right.
Messere Petal is a gem to have cooperated with me and humored me for that long, and I donated so, so much of that money to the people of the Greens and I have seen that the messere herself will be recognized in this entry -- and will receive enough writs to convey my thanks.

I'm absolutely delighted to congratulate my dearest friends and family, Cara and Laric, on their birth of their new baby boy, Prince Arcander Grayson. He's a very healthy boy and, if not _quite_ as loud to hear as my dear Asharion, one with very healthy lungs.
I look forward to watching all our beautiful children growing up together.

Got a new writing pad from the boss today. She says I need to write down my thoughts more often So I don't do what happened last month. Not quite sure why, the vendor didn't need that finger. Not like I'm going to have anything note-worthy to put down.
Would be good for supply lists, but I figure that's not what she meant when she said 'put your thoughts down'.
I need to put the company through check ups. Check'em over for any marks or lesions or infections. Should make that bi-annual.
Need to replace my satchel, eventually. Strap broke. Gave it a temp fix, but it won't stay.
What else?
Nope, feel like that's it.
