My bags are packed and I am ready to leave. The funny thing is .... I can't sleep the night before I travel.
But I leave knowing I have great things to return to.

It's never rude to reward those whose job it is to clean up after you. Even if you insist, they get so offended, I know my assistants think I'm punishing them when I suggest they take the day off. But they light up when I tell them how much they're truly appreciated.
What I'm saying is, even if it's their job? Say 'thank you'. Otherwise your dirty sheets get washed in public or your favorite foods are never at your favorite dining establishment. Or that one piece of jewelry you need repaired just never gets on the ticket in time.
Good manners isn't a class issue; it's a human issue, though I admit this is just my humble opinion.

Not that I didn't want to before but gods, suddenly I'm dragging my feet getting ready for this trip.
I really don't want to leave. But it's only a fortnight. Yes. I'll be back.
Scholar, did I bring my satchel? No? I could have sworn I did. This isn't as bad as leaving it in the market this morning, I stopped to- ...
...oh. There it is. Thank you.

I'm spending most of the day preparing for my trip to Setarco. I don't like leaving the city but with the War, there's potential impact on the silk trade that I'd like to oversee, and maybe even offer help with.
It's easy to forget that -my- Crafters Guild isn't the -only- one, until certain situations occur that requires one or the other or all of them to reach out in droves. I suspect I'll never get used to it, the intricacies of trade, but then I hope I don't either. It's much too fascinating, a different kind of puzzle to solve.
If you've need of me between now and a few days hence [OOC: I leave Saturday for about a week, with intermittent possible log ins from the road], I suggest working your way into my schedule now.

A little boy came to my shop today asking about a gift for his mother.
"-wiff DRAGONWEES," he insisted.
'Dragon wees?' I asked.
"NO. DRAGONWEES."
I gave him a pretty silver pendant with a blue stone. Don't worry, he paid for it.
But that will be in my head for the rest of the day. My assistant drew me a little drawing of a dragon weeing, and a little boy next to it shouting 'NO NO NOT WEES!'

Relationship Note on Morrighan
I don't know what to do. I've never been in this situation before and I know, I know I will be laughed at for how seriously vexed I am. No one will look at me with concerns that I share, but rather concerns about my sanity, and I don't care. I don't.
Morrighan has sent me a dress. A beautiful, perfect, gorgeous dress made to fit all of this that is me and my word. It's breath-taking. I can barely fathom how she made this so damn perfectly, how she's had time to work... I mean, I can't imagine how long she's been working on this.
Most everyone knows her work in the city, some even beyond it; priceless, beyond compare? Paltry descriptions for divinity-inspired awe, made in fabric and to wear! In public! This is the dress I would be buried in, offer it to the Queen of Endings as Her permanent regalia. Aureth, does She like blue? She would, after looking at this.
My problem is thus: I have -nothing- I can wear this to, soon enough. Nothing. It's sitting here and I'm worried that it will sit here unappreciated too long.
A horrible problem. Terrible.

On rare occasion, I've haggled with Merciers. It's glorious but always dangerous. I either lose a small part of my heart, a chunk of coin, or a valuable piece of furniture goes missing.
Always a delight.
