Celebrations and Complications
Well, we got the brochure and we went around Eastwood House and looked at all the prices, and it all looks to be affordable. Keep your fingers crossed, but the wedding should finally be going ahead in somewhat less than a year. It was so amazing to see it finally coming over the horizon as tangible event, one I can quite easily picture going ahead. Still got costs and exact numbers and whether I shall in fact end up taking Mark's surname to sort out, but it's quite definitely appear'd on the horizon.

And that, gentle reader, is a rather wonderful thing to be able to keep my eyes on at the moment, as so many other things seem to be proving infinitely complicated. It's bad enough of work, but at least that's expected. I admit, I'm rather upset about the fact that a variety of things related to the Nest are all proving horribly torturous. 

As soon as I think I have something sorted out, it seems that five other things bubble up behind my back, and, at the risk of being emo, it's getting rather upsetting that I'm making rather a lot of effort to try and sort things out so that they are good for the largest number of people without upsetting any individual, and yet each situation inevitably just seems to bring grief of some kind my way. I don't mind IC politics - actually, I would love more complex plotlines in the Nest - but OOC all they do is make your social life uncomfortable. 

Still. Only two more days of work, then Maelstrom. It's rather worrying when torturously complicated IC politics look a bit of a rest...
