3rd day of Fifth Hand of the Month of Hesius (2) in the year 10,158 CA

I finally got to spend a few ihn with Callie. There just hasnt been enough time for alone time. I dont even see my girl as much anymore but believe me, she will be utterly abused when I do...many frustrations that I cant begin to explain.

My entries my journal are short, my brain fried from all the work in preparing the city for the onslaught of goreans that plan to attend but my work satisfying. My boys Caleb and Caden are a tremendous help and they will be present for the tourney, I've decided to assign them duties since they wish to be there...in fact I've entrusted them to the crew of the Wrath, they will be deck hands for the length of the tournament....which according to the roster will be quite a few hands. Many are expected to show for the Tournament of Blades. Seeing the many scrolls arriving daily I know they are because of the tourney. I even got a scroll or two from unexpected individuals so I know this tourney will be a good one. My work is cut out for me and this will be a great test for the boys. Korlee voiced her wish to help and scrunched her nose at me when I told her that she was expected to help her mother, saw her starting to protest to me and I wouldnt hear it. She is learning that an open mouth will get her confinement to her chambers and the good girl quieted, nodded with a firm, "yes, Da" and the subject was dropped.

Tired, and dragging, I will stop here, I need to crawl into the furs and snuggle up with my warm woman...the twins still wake up during the night though not as often anymore but I still awaken.
