Log: sickness, weather, and such

Going out in the rain last week was definitely not a good plan. When I headed downstairs, it was clear, but when I got outside, the skies opened up and dumped an entire lake upon me. And so now I'm sick. I don't ever remember being sick before. I suppose I've always relied on healers to help out with that, as leading an army just doesn't happen when one is sick. I wish Riff or Ellise were here. They'd know how to knock this thing. And Lady Ellise, thank you so much for the chamomile tea. It's helping, although I'm still rather sick. Hmm I wonder if there are any healers here?

I do hope this weather clears up, too. I have commissions to work on, and I really do want to spend time with Maric. I'd like to go to the theater. Maybe it's something we can introduce to Akanea as a peaceful pasttime so history won't repeat itself again and the Continent can finally have some peace.

I also need to clean my dark blue formal blouse since it got soaked when I left my window open, especially if that dinner party occurs. I do hope that's still happening. I do like to meet new people. Lady Eirika, any word on that?
