It seems that I've horribly neglected the quills lately. The kids were a bit more energetic than I predicted and I'm rather convinced my sister and her husband were pretending to be sick those last few days to enjoy an extended vacation ( Read more... )

It seems I missed all the excitement happening at the arena today. I've only managed to catch bits and pieces of the gossip. Alas, this is what I get for letting my spot in the Oshitari family box go to waste so often. I do hope somebody will fill me in on all the details as I've only not heard anything substantial.

After seeing Shouta's list of who he had invited, I decided to hire an extra cook. Teenaged boys are so hard to keep fed. Thankfully my mother has been helping me put the finishing touches on all of the plans and even volunteered to do any crises management that may arise so I can enjoy the evening with my friends... at least after I do host duties ( Read more... )

Finally, the last of the plans for the Masked ball have been set. Though I'm still waiting for some merchants to get back to me on some details. There was more work involved in planning a large party for nobles than I first realised. But I'm confident the night will come together the way I want.
