Thursday, January 21st, mid afternoon
The porch of The Dormouse
It's one of those rare days in mid-Winter. A day where you want to believe that Spring is close, just around the corner, the type of day that teases you with blue skies, bright sun and milder than it should be temperatures.
How could I resist such a day?
Well, I could resist the morning. This sickness thing that goes with pregnancy can be done now, thank you very much. At least I have found that if I drink peppermint tea before trying to eat, most things stay down. Which has been a big help, since now that I can eat, I am not nearly as tired or weak. Granted, I still find it too easy to take a quick cat nap after I close in the afternoons, but so far this week, I have no slept my days away.
And today, the sunshine has actually made me feel a little bit better. I opened the windows after noon to let fresh air into the house. The last customer left fifteen minutes ago, and the day is just so lovely! Instead of sitting at the window seat, I put on a heavy coat style sweater and sit on the porch steps, sipping my tea and watching people pass by. I don't feel quite so lonely as I smile and nod to people as they pass, and comment on the weather to a few. I should practice my sword work, or my knife throwing, for that has been making me feel better as well...

but for now I am content to sit here, in the sun and forget all the things I should worry about. Like Kent. And Tez. (bastard!) And if I shall survive this whole mess I have gotten myself into. No... not now. Another day. I stretch out my legs and tilt my face towards the light, happy to a ginger cat in a sunbeam.
