Oh goodness, so many adorable and creative costumes on the little kids this year! I saw one little girl who was both a pirate and a princess. Plenty of Quidditch stars to be seen, too.
I am enjoying a nice quiet night at home, curled up with a book and a cup of tea, with a bowl of candy by the front door for the occasional trick or treaters who actually come into the building.

Alphonse is de-
You are not going to publicly announce that your fish died, Lisa Turpin. People already look at you funny.
Warded to Mo & Padma
Is it silly to-
I mean. I know it kind of is, but-
Alphone was floating upside down in his bowl when I got home from work.
I don't want to just flush him down the loo. Is it silly to want have a funeral for a fish?

There was a very nice gentleman at the coffee shop this afternoon who held the door open for me when he saw I was heading that way, and even bowed when I stepped into the shop! I didn't know people did that anymore. The bowing, anyway. It was very odd but very nice!
Warded to Mandy, Morag, & Padma.
It's probably silly of me, since it's been nine years now since we all boarded the Hogwarts Express to go off to school together, and that last year was so horrible I don't even want to think about it but seeing all the children getting ready to go off to school makes me miss the old days in the dorms when we all saw each other every day. I see Mo all the time because we work together, of course, but I feel like I hardly see Mandy and Padma!
We should all get together and do something. I miss you all!
I feel really silly to say that seeing all the children in Diagon Alley shopping for school has made me miss shopping for new schoolbooks every year. The smell of new pages, the crackling sound when you open it for the first time ...

I've been thinking about trying yoga, but I don't want to do it by myself. I also don't know if I should sign up for a class, or a private session, or just buy a book and learn on my own. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Warded Private.
Despite all intents otherwise, I still am not writing in this thing nearly as much as I keep meaning to. I suppose I'm a little afraid that my life will seem rather boring compared to everyone else, and nobody will want to read about the specifics of how I was absolutely positive that I had three paperclips in my hand, but then when I went to actually use them, somehow I had ended up with only two, and I absolutely could not find the third.
I thought I was going mad. I still do, actually.
And now I cannot sleep, but I am sure it has nothing to do with the missing paperclip. I think. It was just a paperclip. I think it might be Morag's trip back to Italy Don't be silly, Lisa.
But it's not silly, is it? What if she and Scottie decide to move there? This account would be amazing for her, what if they want her to stay there and not just portkey back and forth? She's my best friend, and of course I'd miss her terribly if she was off living in Italy, but what about the boutique? Of course I would continue running it if that's what she wants, but would she just send me stock? What if somebody wants something custom?
What if she absolutely loves it there and she decides to stay?
Alphonse is so lucky, he doesn't ever have any worries besides when I'll be feeding him next.
I cannot sleep. I counted exactly two hundred and fifty-eight sheep before I gave up.
Does anyone have any remedies they might suggest? After giving up on counting sheep, I tried drinking a glass of warm milk, then a cup of soothing tea. Nothing seems to be helping so far.

I was just in the stationery store, and they have new bright neon sticky notes in a rainbow of colours. They're almost blindingly bright. I almost wanted to buy some, but they would throw my entire organization scheme out of order, though it would be impossible to not notice them, if I needed to leave myself reminders anywhere.
I ended up just buying my regular sticky notes, but I think other people might like the neon ones!

I should write in this more often, it looks so lonely all the time, but I don't really know what to write about. And with how rude some people are, sometimes I'd rather just avoid it altogether!
I'm thinking of taking up a hobby, but I don't know what. I just think it might be fun to have something new to try.
Also, it feels a little weird that so many people from my year at school are getting married. Mo just got married not that long ago, Wayne and Hannah last weekend, Ron and Hermione are engaged, so is Harry ...

I think spring is my favourite time of year. I love seeing all the flowers start to bloom. I went for a stroll in the park today at lunch just so that I could see all the flowers. It's almost hard to believe that it will be April tomorrow already. March seems to have just flown by. Does it seem like that to anybody else?
Alphonse says hi. He just swam up to the edge of his bowl nearer me and is flicking his tail around at me.

I have found no greater satisfaction than achieving success through honest dealing and strict adherence to the view that, for you to gain, those you deal with should gain as well.( Read more... )
