Late seems to be a hard issue with me. It seems like so many things I have to deal with are on a timeline that I need to get them done on time or not at all. Over all of late I feel soo very pressured in time.
I have been promised time off from the place I work at so that I may spend time with my parents. That trip is planned to happen within two fortnights now. Everything is speeding by so fast it seems to me.
Last week was the beginning of the season of remember the King's Son's Sacrifice. It is about a month's worth of remembering, but for as much as that seems it also seems to never be enough time. Indeed this time of remembering seems to have come early anyways. Soon will be the Celebration at it's end. But there is much to happen before that. Last Wednesday was the official start of this season and though I was going to my weekly warrior training session I met up with the gathering of my fellow warriors instead. I'm afraid I was a little grubby from work, but it was nice to see so many warriors from not only my gathering but at least four or five other gatherings of the same training methodology.
It is traditional to give up something to remember the King more during this season. I have told no one about my choices and I trust that whoever reads this will keep my confidence. I have chosen to fight extreme against Onrop in my resistance. He has been pounding upon my defenses of late and I chose to take a step that I would not sip of His poison or go to anything that may be near for at least this time (hopefully longer). Beyond this to firm this in my will by stretching it to something less dramatic I chose to give up one of my more favorite drinks. The ones that you can usually get at restaurant fountains. I have not been entirely faithful upon this vow for there have been a couple of times where I drank what was not strictly speaking allowed with my decision. However, neither of these were what I was specifically giving up and so I hope to let them be as indulgences and allow that my unmovable goal lie with the villain Onrop and not with the beverage.
For better news I have drawn out my card of note to hand out to people who may wish to hire my storytelling talents. And I am very excited to see A'nozira. I have never been there and the opportunity to spend some quality time with my father who I have not seen in so long is making me quite anxious. However I wanted so much to go not only to see my parents or this new land but make more contacts for employment. I can't help but feel that I am getting little results for my efforts. I trust in the King and His plan, but I wish that I could begin my good work and not deal with the parcels that I move today. But each in its time I suppose.
Kord was so excited that he may have the ability to graduate. He was originally not allowed because he didn't have all of the classes that he needed to leave our school. But recent events have landed him a job in his field and the opportunity to graduate. It was indeed weighing heavily upon him that he would not graduate like M'dda. M'dda and Kord are like brothers in more senses than one. They will split up soon, but what they have had for some time I cannot but feel a little jealous.
I am beginning to change my posting and advertisements of my skills on the new roads in the hopes that I will have some notice taken of me. However, my hope is little for such things. I'm afraid I am still battle weary from Noisserped, but I am working on things and I am trying to look brightly on my days.
Artep is still a comfort to me. She will visit this upcoming weekend, but she and I will not have any time to really talk to do anything really. For she works and she will come with a friend. She will not even be able to stay too long. I told Ae about Artep's coming so that the two girls may spend some time together. Ae's past week was rather filled with disappointment and much strife. I fear the Noisserped may be hammering her as well. Though I do believe she has been doing well. I can only petition the King on her behalf at this point. There are two more meetings for me this week that I cannot put off.
My heart is still sick with longing for love from a significant woman warrior. But I still hold to the King's timing and I will trust in him for a job as well as a wife and a great work. I may dream so bold, but I will tame all so that I may serve now.
till next I find my spirit longing to write...
Fair travel and safe lodging to all
and to you: may the blessings of the King be ever with you.
Gby,
Kroy
