"Changes"

Dear Diary,


Mr. Dog is moving away, and he's taking Aunti Raewi with him. They're going to Austria for some kind of job that Aunti Raewi has. She said she's going to be gone a long time. I'm going to miss them both so much.

So while she was packing up to move away, we found out that I have a COUSIN! And he's coming to live with us while Aunti Raewi is away. His name is Calton, and he's 4 years old. I haven't met him yet, but everyone says he's a 'handful'.. I dunno what that means tho.

I drew him a note, welcoming him to our house.. but I wonder if he can read it.

Also, Modello moved out, and that guy Cory is visiting a lot more often. I think he's Mommy's new boyfriend.

I finally got to spend a little time with Aunti Jo. We colored a bit, and talked, then we danced in the kitchen. We were dancing and hopping and she told me to scream, and I did.. and then Mommy came in upset and wanted to know why I was screaming. I didn't get in trouble, but Mommy was mad. I'll try not to scream anymore, even if Aunti Jo says to.

School has been super hard, and I've had lots of homework, but that's mostly because of make-up work that I missed while moving to Somersley. Still, the last couple of days, they've been tearing up the computer lap's wires at school trying to move us to computers without wires, but I always seem to end up at the computer that isn't working right, or is too far away, or something. They said they're setting me up a computer that will be closer to the wireless, or something... but my schoolwork is behind even more because of that.

I did manage to figure out some big problems yesterday, which is good. But with all the homework and the staying after in school for help.. I'm not getting much time to play, and spend time with Mommy. It makes me sad, but everyone keeps telling me it will get better.

Added new slots for the new family members on the "My Family" page, still waiting on correct name spellings so I can link people.

  1. I love your journal! Love seeing things from another's perspective. Poor Anwenn. So much change to adjust to in such a short space of time. Will be interesting to see if she and Calton get along. I miss your entries. Hopefully the world slows down enough for you soon (hugs)

    1. Yeah.. it's a fun process doing the writing. For me, the biggest hurdle so far has been trying to stay 'in voice', especially when so much of my life outside of Anwenn's world has been so busy and stressful of late.

      I actually find YOUR journal to be far more interesting and engrossing than mine. Mine tends to be short letters about the basics, and yours gets in so deep to the emotions and motivations. It's been instructive, for getting ideas for emotions and thoughts I can play off of and work with, for learning how to write and RP better, and as a source of fodder to play off of on days when I've missed everyone.

      For example, I haven't seen Raewi inworld since before she dropped the "I'm leaving" bombshell, so I technically haven't heard, she's just 'vanished' as far as I would know. But thanks to your journal, I can catch information that Anwenn should have by just living in the house full time, that I missed because I'm only there 4-6 hours every other day.
