Quest 315
My goodness, what a busy month it's been--and not just because Christmas is coming, either. We've had months like this before, you know, where it seems as though every day is another curse and there's barely time to breathe for a moment in between. But December is always one of the rather odd months, just like October and May are always a bit awful and August tends to be...well, it has its moments, too.
I must say, though, all those geese the other day were certainly more bad-tempered than Genesta's hen back home. It laid golden eggs, too, and I had to go get it back from an ogre. Ugh, and what an awful moment it was, too, when I was almost out the door and then suddenly it squawked and the ogre woke up from it! Goodness, I don't think I've ever run so fast in my life. But the hen was just scared, I think, and the geese from the other day were just outright troublesome, biting at things and battering at people with their wings.
There's a bird that lays golden eggs in Daventry, too, but I've never seen it myself. I only know it used to nest in my favorite climbing tree, because Daddy once found a golden egg there himself.
But it seems they're all gone now, and today it's something else again. I wonder if it'll be like this the whole month, or if we'll have a respite for Christmas? It's odd, really, how sometimes the curses can seem like one terrible ordeal after another, but others it's almost as though they're a nuisance to contend with. But I suppose that's a matter of how many of them one has seen, really, and how much time one has had to get used to how they come.
Even so, I think there's one out today, but I'm not certain what it is, so I suppose I'll leave my errands for tomorrow and spend today sewing, instead. There's, er, something I need to get done in the little time I have left to do it, and goodness knows I certainly wouldn't be the first princess who whiled her time away that way, anyway.

I did end up with one, though, rather by mistake. It's really rather pretty, honestly.

[No, seriously. Yesterday was very upsetting.]
Oh! You didn't trade it in for... whatever you would've traded it in for?

Besides all of the geese and other holiday curses, how're you doing? I feel like we're both so busy running around like crazy people that we forget to chat.
