I find myself considering what to do with myself in the final months of this pregnancy. I suppose when I become a mother I'll have even less time to devote to projects, but I don't enjoy being idle - though I have rediscovered a love of naps. Naps are amazing. There should be a royal decree. Naps are essential.
As an Observer, I am called to duty as needed. Most recently there has been no need, and there are others who may yet be called upon. However, there is someone I wish to recommend to the corps, if I can pin them down long enough to talk to them about it.
In the Ministry, I mostly delegate. I am there to review the projected of the respective Deputy Ministers and aid them in getting them off the ground. There's at least one task still pending, and I am at fault for neglecting it. I intend to rectify that promptly.
I continue to administrate the March, seeing to our finances, trade, and internal governship as is my responsibility and privilege, while Rymarr sees to our military efforts.
I prepare to welcome this child into the world.
My sponsorship of the Menagerie is established, and the Arboreal Dome is complete.
Perhaps we should try resuming our dinner parties? Every so often, the Marquis and I will invite a few people of diverse interests to dine with and enjoy some activity and discussion.
I've taken up tutoring in Diplomacy, mostly the younger generation of my fealty. It seems where the guidance of young people is concerned, the apple doesn't fall far from the foster-tree.
What causes should be brought to my attention?

I had my viewpoint shaken by a seemingly indomitable will the other day. It was one of those moments in which a viewpoint so utterly different than your own is thrust out with such intensity and determination that I had to momentarily question my own grasp of how society works.
I believe I am correct in my understanding. I tried to offer guidance, but the whole thing went so far field I simply am not at all certain I communicated anything effectively. I walked away baffled and torn between bearing down and attempting to impose my understanding of the world (the argument for this is, that in the long run this will help this person get something closer to their goals. The argument against this is, well... that's rather arrogant of me, is it not? But am I not being negligent in my duty to look after this person and see them succeed? So confused.) or simply allow them to be as they are.
Which is the right path?
I feel that the responsible thing to do is to try to drill in the reality of the world and how it works. is that not, in the end, the kinder thing?

Training has a way ... I seem to have been starting entries that way lately. Fill in the blank has a way. I suppose, I guess, maybe, that is just the way things are.
Anyway, I have been seeking more training in things. The more I learn, the more I don't know. The more I get drawn in, the more I push away. This city is changing me, but how could it not? If you don't ...
My words are a mess, I meant to write about training and my words become a jumbled mess. I just need to focus.

No matter how much some people might want it to be, 'trust me' is not a magical incantation that gets more powerful with repetition. 'You just have to trust me' is not a more powerful version of that incantation either. You can't will trust into being by insisting someone trust you over and over again. At most, you can succeed at browbeating them into giving in, which is a form of abusing trust, not earning it.
Trust is earned by actions, not words. People who try to take shortcuts usually end up with less than they started with, in my personal experience.

I can assuage everyone's anxious concerns on this matter. I know it's a terrible burden not knowing.
There are five hundred, twenty-five thousand, four hundred and one tiles in this one corner of the House of Solace. Just /one/.
Do not get me started on how many are in the other corner. It is truly a wonder to distract me from getting up and being a horrible patient.

There's a great deal of pride in the Guild, my pride for them, my joy for them, with how well they are all doing. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to share the wealth they've helped to generate, trade-goods and profit from our connection to the traders, merchants, suppliers that come to the city. We've discussed several ventures on what to spend the money on, as far as renovating the Guild Hall, setting up a space for training, and so on. One suggested a memorial, another purchasing property to rent for those that haven't the notion of buying a shop or building one.
In the mean time, I'm pleased to let the wealth flow through to the others. I would never feel right keeping it in the bank to gather dust with no plan or notion of use. When there is a surplus, it will be shared with the Guild, the amount saved maintained should it be needed.
I miss Ida. With Lazarus' passing, I've no Assistant, no Second, and my apprentices and shopkeepers keep sneaking chamomile tea into my mug in the hopes that I'll rest. Inspiration does not sleep, and I've at least one important Jayus-blessed project to finish before the next Summer solstice. The ideas are jagged, however, broken pieces of a mirror turned into a mosaic and then smashed again. My other designs, though, the ones that are just as important but with less a drive to create them are being created by my hands like someone else is controlling them. Lovely pieces, Eurusi designs suggested by dear Malik, intricate, beautiful creations meant to bear the weight of stunning gems and enamels.
I've a new shipment of Gemecittan quartz to array and consider. Those pieces are always popular, but I think this time I'll use jeweler's bronze and pewter, so that they are less expensive to obtain.
So many ideas.
Dammit. Chamomile in my mug again.
I'll stop raving at them about it, though. I'm sure I look awful running on so little sleep.

I thought of buying the couch in Magpie's shop. I still might lose al self control and purchase it.
I don't know if it will fit in my room and I think if I put it out in the Grayson Mansion it might vanish.
Just like my green shag rug did. I am still looking for that rug. If anyone has information on a missing
green shag rug. Please let me know.

Dear Reader,
Countess Reigna has suggested I take up writing and while I have never in my life found a single interesting thing committed to ink I shall seek to remedy that.
But where should I start? With my beauty tips? My romantic advice? Fashion tips from a stunning young lady?
No I shall start with the rule I live by, the most important piece of advice I can give anyone: Never settle. Strive, always strive for more.
Or Moore.
Next time dearest readers.. some beauty advice the secret as to how I manage this lovely golden hue even in the winter months!
Until then gifts and party invitations can be sent to me Lady Tessa Moore, care of the Sleepless Knight Inn, Valardin District, Arx.

It's a strange place to be, to admire the work of someone that you're certain doesn't like you, means only to provoke a response and claim sanctuary in generosity, mocking me on a personal level. I should be more furious about it, and yet I am not. I am irritated. A lot. But I'm a Disciple of Jayus. I know great craftsmanship when I see it and despite the caricature of myself that I hold in my hands, despite the mockery, I do appreciate how well it is made.

A fellow named Persephone sent me the best inspiration in regards to a couch, and so I have built one and sent it along to him. I made a second one and put it on sale in my shop for those that might be interested in owning one as well. I plan to make quite a few as I have made quite the investment in that particular material used in covering it.
I have so many ideas. I'm starting to understand why Fort goes into seclusion when making his art. Maybe our work will be side by side someday in a gallery. His paintings... my couches...

I made the wheelbarrow. It has black silk and spiders.
However, if you would rather a litter, I could make a lovely spidery one like that.
There is very little limit to what I can make into something amazing.
It might be a wheelbarrow, but it was a great pleasure to craft and is quite amazing. It is a wheelbarrow for a spider princess!
Making things for Princes Eleyna is a pleasure, due to her spidery tastes and her beauty and her southern sharp edge.
