What is wrong with people today? I would appreciate if customers didn't use my shop as a breeding ground. It isn't some sort of club. And when I tell you to quit it, no, it is not an indication that I want to join! I'm an engaged woman and I have no desire to shag random people in my shop.
I have such a bleeding headache. My father has been on my case about the wedding. My father. You would think that if anyone is overreacting, it would be me. But apparently, he's far more worried than I am. I think I need another vacation.

I've not talked to you in a while. And I think there's still much to discuss. Tea sometime?

Thomas is right. If I don't get help in this wedding deal, I'm going to drive myself mad. I haven't even had time to choose my dress yet.
[ warded to parvati ]
I know sending a message to you through a journal may seem a little informal, but I was wondering if you'd have the time to help me? I'm already going crazy and my fiance would rather I not lose my mind before May.

End of August was hectic business for the apothecary. Considering the students going back to school, we had not just an abundance of customers but orders from schools coming in as well.
I'm not complaining, though, because it brought it money which is always good. I just had not had time to write in this, or really dive right into wedding planning.
At least everything has slowed down here but the complicated issue with the weather is very trying.
[ warded private ]
Well, alright. How difficult can planning a wedding get when one was dreaming of it since before our little fake engagement became real?
I've only got a few wedding consultants to talk to. Though before that, we have to actually pick out a date for that. In the meantime, I can figure out what dress style I would like.
This list in one of the magazines seems simple enough. Even if it is quite long. Several pages long.
I'm being worried for no reason. The wedding will go beautifully, I'm sure of it. Budget need not be fretted over too much. The hardest part was the engagement itself, wondering if Thomas was really thinking of this whole thing as a little mind game to play with the parents. But considering that's all changed and we're engaged, nothing false about it... it should all be easier now! Right?

I've never gone past a week when it cames to vacations. Or a weekend when life became too hectic here that I wanted to just leave right away But the two weeks that I just spent with my betrothed throughout Egypt and Europe were absolutely blissful, I can't help considering how much fun it would be to be gone for even a whole month.
Hah, my father would throw a fit
Needless to say, I am back though I wish I wasn't. There's work at the apothecary waiting for me as well as unfinished wedding planning.

I have something important to discuss with you! Let's pick a day for lunch for all of us!

Picking a colour theme is so trying, especially when it comes to choosing a certain shade. It's not that the wedding date is chosen going to be sometime soon, so we have all the time in the world to pick things slowly. It creates lesser hassle and a lesser chance of myself going insane over the planning.
[ warded private ]
Did he really say he wouldn't mind marrying me or was that some sort of dream? It feels like one, considering it was much too early in the morning. And though I have my magazine back and his letter from his mother has been taken... I may or may not have imagined him saying it.
I feel like a teenager again, when I used to pine and confuse myself over Mi
Well.. I don't suppose he suspects that I would want any of this to be real? Maybe I should continue pretending this is all real and actually go out and buy whatever I need.
Oh, shite, I didn't pick my maid of honour or bridesmaids, have I?
[ warded to padma ]
I do believe it's been a long while since we've been able to pull ourselves away from work to have ourselves a lunch date. Plus, I have something important to discuss with you.

OH, MY GOD! Daphne, I forgot how fucking WICKED it feels to blow off some steam at rude people! Never mind what I said earlier about my wanker of a boss, I think I'm glad I got the day off! How the fuck did I ever start working there when I never wanted it? Oh, that's right. Emotional blackmail by the old man.
[ warded to daphne ]
I think I'm officially banned from the Magic Bean though, but WHO THE FUCK CARES! I looked different when I was younger, so I didn't tell them my name, HAHA! But MERRY FUCK, what stupid annoying twats!

My father has surprisingly decided I ought to consider hiring another apprentice potionere. Him and being nice. Something seems suspicious. Something about easing up so wedding planning becomes less of a hassle. Thoughtful, I must say. I expected it to be coming out of my mother's mouth instead.
Unless she's the one who managed to convince him of it.
Well, planning or partying or whatever free time can be used for, I don't think its such a bad idea. If anyone does know of someone who may be interested, information passed to said being and myself would be appreciated.

That was a very nice idea of a joke if someone was responsible for this. And I mean that sincerely. Despite being turned into a bloke one day, it was still amusing to see what occurred all across the Lane, in and out of journals.
I hope no one was too emotionally or sexually, hah scarred from this.
[ warded to thomas ]
I'd say something like how I need to get back in touch with my feminity, but that would just be a petty excuse, so I might as well say it.
Dinner! How about something I can have cooked here at home?

It's slightly hard to come up with an extravagant birthday gift for my fiancé when he has such an adoring tendency to spoil me. What to give a man who already has everything he wants? Though this isn't to say I don't know what Thomas likes. I just wish to give him something extra special.
[ warded to thomas ]
Oh, dear Merlin! I don't know what I've done to warrant such a beautiful gift, but thank you so much. You can trust that I'll cherish this.
[ warded to astoria ]
Will you be home? Let's go for some Italian.

One of the elderly regulars that comes by the Apothecary decided to leave me a little treat in the form of a book of wedding dresses. I'd be lying if I said I haven't already flipped through it during my lunch break.
They're absolutely stunning. I feel like I must repay her somehow. Apparently, her daughter had just recently wedded and she used that book as well.
I'm getting my hopes up for no reason. So it seems. I don't think I should have even looked through it. But for a few minutes, it felt great to think of this as something real.
Strange how before I never agreed to marriage when my parents attempted to arrange it for me. And now this little act has me reconsidering. However, I can't go back on asking for that again. The obvious reason is that they believe I'm marrying Thomas.
The other reason is that I don't want to marry anyone else. Getting my hopes up. Again.
[ warded to daphne ]
I'm going mad with boredom already. Are you still in Paris? And how's Miles?
I know. I'm obviously going crazy if I ask how your husband is doing.

Gossip columnists sometimes amaze me. I wish I had enough creativity to come up with a twist like that to a story to make it interesting. But I just happen to be a lucky woman who has a fiance that loves to shower me with gifts.
I must say, though, reading that article made me miss our lovely little time in Rome. I think I ought to plan another trip there. It's an absolutely beautiful place. Having family there is definitely an added bonus.
[ warded private ]
I fucking can't BELIEVE her. Spending nights together?

Oh, so very crafty. I am well aware that it is April Fools' Day, hence, I'm already extra precautionary on who claims that they accidentally broke their phials of whatever potion you require with authorized consent only and now need more.
If I catch you lying -- because I do demand proof, by the way -- telling me to lighten up because its April Fools Day and that you're only pulling a prank isn't going to help your situation!
Nor am I going to automatically go, "Oh my, terribly sorry. I didn't realize! Let me pretend that I didn't realize it and give you the phials anyway!"

Apparently, I missed the circus and the cakes. Along with a bit of truth serum? Shame. I was busy having the most loveliest time in Rome. It felt nice to get a little vacation from work, especially when you spend it with your fiancé.
I believe I would have to go back there sometime later in search for the perfect dress.
Now just to hope that no one goes out with my betrothed to potentially ruin this for me
Contrary to what Thomas might say, I was not going to become a prune in the pool had he not come along. But I'm rather thankful that he did. We got quite a bit of planning done already.

Forgive me but I have to run out of London for the weekend. I'm being driven up a wall and if I don't get a break, I'm going to be the one to break down the entire flat.
[ warded to padma ]
Mini-vacation in Rome is much needed. I refuse to open my journal during that time either. Pray tell, why do I continue to feel like I'm an older responsible sister to someone who probably doesn't even consider me remotely close to it?
