All settled here, and I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to see you again last week. It was all sorts of chaos over the matter with Stint. (The thought of what he nearly did to Poppy. Well.)
The spinning has gotten much more even, though my attempt to weave cord is less so: we will have to find time to try that again together sometime sooner than later. (My stubborn insistence on doing for myself, yes, but I would prefer given the use it’s going to.) Funny what our hands remember longer than we'd think.
I’ve not had much chance to start going through the books you and Diane got me, though Narcissa and I did talk through some of the larger questions. I am afraid the thing is going to need to be huge: my starting list of family, Council Members and respective spouses, fellow staff is already pushing past 150, before we even get to anyone else.
Dad’s not still - well, upset probably isn’t too strong - about the wording of the announcement, is he? Just, there’s tradition and there’s fairness. And it’s not as if I’m just out of school and have never provided for myself. I promise, we’ll gladly let you both help, in all sorts of ways. Just that I refuse to be a burden, or limit what you could do for Sage or Temp if the time comes for them.
