I have spent many hours sitting still with a poultice over my eyes. It has given me a lot of time to think over all that has happened and what it truly means.
I feel so blessed. To be in the presence of angels, beings of the highest divinity like almost to God Himself... that in itself is a blessing so wholly remarkable and unlooked for as to leave me breathless with awe. And to have one of them recognize me, and call me by name... it is truly a sign from the Lord. I know now that my life has been on the right path, and I am so grateful for His guidance. I have never before in my life felt so completely encompassed by rapture... nor, I suspect, shall I ever again, in this mortal world. It cannot be doubted; these are truly the End Times.
The radiance of those lords of Heaven very nearly blinded me, and yet I feel I have never seen so clearly. I have not failed my God. Ren was part of the Plan all along, and he was sent to me as a test. I feel as if a great burden has been lifted from me, to realize this.
I have also lost the burden of my fear of death. Armageddon is coming... soon this world will be dust and ashes. If my Lord God sees fit to protect me until His Son returns at the End of All Things, so be it, and praise His Name. If it has been determined that I should go before, this fate I will also accept, and gladly.
I see also that time is short... I must prepare myself, and make good use of what time I have left on this earth.

I received an answering letter from my family. Apparently they're having the same problems in Aquroya as we are having here.
God save us. Everything's going wrong. I feel like we're in a war, except that we're fighting each other. And the universe.

And uncomfortable, I'm getting soaked... dresses are not designed for this. ...The WORLD is not designed for this. *pouts a little bit, covering her nose and mouth with one hand and staring warily up at the puddle that is collecting above her in the eaves, spilling over the edge of the roof and up into the sky* |

*sigh* The electricity still hasn't come back on! I'm starting to hear rumors that the problem isn't with the generators at all... electricity just isn't working... whatever that means. And who knows when this will be over. I've sent a letter to my family to let them know what's going on, so they don't worry. Hopefully the interdimensional mail still works. ...Which it really shouldn't. But for the millionth time, I really can't complain.
It seems it really is true that the stars are going out. I've noticed a few missing from some of the larger constellations. That... really worries me, and I can't entirely say why. I mean... who knows what it means? It's just... unnerving. And... isn't the sun a star? What if the sun goes out? ...Lord save us, I hadn't thought of that before... that's terrifying!
...
...
...Well, anyway, other than that, nothing new has happened... maybe the worst is over? And the weather's been gorgeous recently... it's hard not to be optimistic, even with all that's happened... I've even left the house a few times, although I've taken the necessary precautions been veeeerrrry careful when I do.
God bless you and yours, everyone, and stay safe. |

I went to give my condolences to Li Mei. The poor dear seems inconsolable. Mei and Peng were married for something like forty years. I wanted to attend Peng's funeral, but Mei's taking him back home, to Xing. Xingian custom dictates that his wake is held in his family home, with his entire family in attendance. I am sorry that I will not be able to be present to remember and honor him, but perhaps Mei will find some comfort among her family. I don't think she will be coming back. I will pray for him, and for her.
Li Peng was a good man, and a good friend. One of the best. I've known him as long as I've known anybody in Central. He was someone who liked to give, and he gave everything of himself. He was... he was always smiling. I will miss the long conversations in his shop, when I went in to buy some tea and ended up staying for hours, and the evenings having dinner with the Li's....
This is devastating. It breaks my heart to think of him dying so violently. I'm... I'm really going to miss him. And... and... I'm so angry.
Please, all of you, be careful... I have it on good authority that the murder rate has gone up recently. Don't go out alone, and....
........
...Be careful of soldiers. |

...Praise the Lord. A miracle has occurred. It took me most of the day to comprehend the significance of what happened to us yesterday, but the door of my heart has been opened and my sight has cleared. All of Central has been blessed... we were all filled with the Holy Spirit! Alleluia!
I'm going to go to the church and pray. *extremely happy about this*
Oh, and since apparently no one could understand me yesterday... Edward's back! And so are Ran Fan and Ling! Life is wonderful! *hums to herself cheerfully* |

...An hour. And four minutes. That... is TOO MUCH FISH. That's twice as long as yesterday! What if this keeps up?! THE WORLD SMELLS LIKE FISH. IT'S HORRIBLE.
Today's fishfall is... interesting. The fish are alive this time, that's different. They seem to have no trouble breathing out of water, that probably has something to do with it. They are fish, though, the ones that landed in my pond are very happily swimming around and haven't needed to come up for air.
I... I don't know what they are, exactly. I've never seen such things. They breathe on land and in water, they've got little legs to walk around with, and... they seem so... happy. They keep saying, "Mudkip, mudkip," over and over again, in their little high-pitched squeaky voices... I guess that's what they are, then. Mudkips.
...I like them. |

Well! It is amazing how quickly things fall into disarray. I was only asleep for two weeks and you should've seen the dust in the house! And the weeds in the gardens! And the length of the grass, goodness, it sure grows fast in the summer! It's taken me several days just to get everything under control. I do believe the house is sort of presentable again, now.
I am pleased to say that no harm came to any of my animals in two weeks of neglect. I must say, my aquarium has never looked cleaner, and Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar were extremely excited at the prospect of proper fish food again. Jemima and Violet were, of course, able to forage for themselves just fine. Poor Mr. Wiggles is a bit thin, but he managed to get into the big bag of dog food, with some help from Violet, bless her heart. Violet was also the first to report to Turtle Society that something was wrong with many of the humans in the city; they'd been working just as hard as our government to try and figure out how to wake everyone up.
...Speaking of which, um, Mal... I've had a call from a newspaper reporter... he, ah, wishes to interview you for the Amestris Gazette. Err. What should I tell him? |

Goodness, it's been dreadfully hot, lately. Some days it's hard to convince myself not to laze about on a couch drinking iced tea. There's always so much work to do, around the house and in the garden and grounds... but... it's just so hot.
...Would anybody like to go for a swim? |

Oh wow, it's been so beautiful out! Simply gorgeous weather! I'd better hurry and get my garden in, we certainly won't be having any more frost.
...I apologize, I probably shouldn't have said that, I've doomed us all, haven't I?
Well in any case, if I'm needed, I'll be outside, up to my elbows in dirt.

Goodness, it's almost May already. I should start putting in the garden for this year. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to plant?
Mal, I've collected some of my favorite recipes, I'd like to send them to Claire. Do you have her address? Or should I send them care of Rachel?

So, yeah, my computer's in the hospital again, so rp may be spotty. IT'S REALLY ANNOYING. I will be slow on posts and threads for a bit, sorry. Bear with me.
EDIT: So on the same day I posted this, I got my baby back. She's fine again. All hail Gerry, Lord God of computers. Praise His holy name. |
