Dear Rain,

Thank you for coming again, at long last. I think it’s been about three weeks since we last saw each other. It’s been awfully hot around these parts for the past week, so you bring a much-appreciated breath of cool air. Plus, it’s not so muggy now, which is totally awesome.

Also I’d like to thank you for waiting to arrive until the afternoon, so Emma and I could go to the Spring Arts Festival. It was fantastic, as always, and we bought some nice new objets d’artre. One of my favorite local painters, Peter Carolin, designed the poster this year, so I was very excited to be able to afford a piece of his art. Some day, when I have more money than I know what to do with, I’m going to buy actual paintings, but for now I’m very happy with the poster. I’ll want to get it framed, I suppose, but that can probably wait until my TA money comes in.

We also got some new pieces of jewelry. Emma got a new pair of earrings and a matching ear cuff, then convinced me to get an ear cuff myself. It’s blue rather than purple, and I think it looks okay. It’ll take some getting used to, but should stave off my desire for knuckle tattoos for a little longer. Heh.

Time to get a little more work done before the guild tries to knock off the last few bosses in Karahan tonight. Type to you tomorrow.

Torrentially,

A.
