(Note: this is an in character post)
It has been over a year since last I wrote. I am contemplating the usefulness of keeping a journal if I do not write in it.

My divorce is final.

I have contemplated the proposals of many would-be suitors since then. I have decided that I am at my best alone. No distractions, no entanglements, no threats to national security when there is no man underfoot.

I have had my children. I desire no more. My nights may be long, but at least when I sleep, I sleep soundly and without extraneous distractions upon my mind. I am at last, blissfully, at peace.

My focus now is now and forevermore upon the realm.

...Look you, Argyll and Fife, I am married. To Scotland.

MCGLASHAN!

Spent a lovely fortnight in Calais sampling wine and buying all manner of exotic material. Mild days, cool nights and wonderous entertainments in the company of my English cousins. However, the return voyage home was quite the trial. A layover in Dover lasted one day longer than planned. I and my retainers left the ship to stretch our legs and were accosted on the docks by Lutherans shaking tambourines, chanting scripture from the Gospels, nailing theses to anything solid and trying to sell us books of prayer printed in the vernacular. Positively vulgar! I am still picking the damned daisies out of my hair. I detest busy international seaports and I cannot abide cults. *sigh*

Even the voyage nuts were stale and I lost Donk along with my luggage. The bo'sun says my trunks and the fool should arrive tomorrow. Am contemplating having the travel agent drawn and quartered.

Tonight I read the poetry of Blind Harry retelling the brave deeds of Sir William Wallace.

I would that I could have a man look at me that way...and mean it.

Met with my barrister this day to discuss matters of Lady Margaret's custody arrangement with the dowager earl of Angus. Nothing of great interest other than Anguish is assumed to be plotting evil with English co-conspirators. Same offal, different day.

I believe I shall up the bounty that is already upon his head should he dare to re-enter Scotland.

What? Hacking off heads isn't dealing "with problems head on"?

You Are Aphrodite!

A total shining star with a ton of admirers And no wonder: you live life to the fullest! When things get bad, you can easily take off to a happier place But occasionally, you need to deal with problems head on

I would have thought Hera...but what e'er...

Oh...and...


Moi?

It is raining and I can smell it and hear it as it strikes the windows of my chamber.

This is the time I love to wrap the bed clothes around me and sleep deeply. Rain is a wonderous creation of God.

The White Queen You scored 3 Power-Finesse, 5 Leader-Follower, 3 Unique-Ordinary, and 4 Offense-Defense!

Sometimes, you will stand by your team, keeping them safe but only because they serve you. More often, you will be found menacing the enemy and causing them to cower on their half of the board in fear of your wrath. You have power, and you enjoy projecting it -- or inflicting it. Woe to the lowly pawn or bishop who crosses your path... but beware the charming black knight, who alone of the pieces can steal your heart without you realizing it.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender : You scored higher than 99% on Power-Finesse You scored higher than 99% on Leader-Follower You scored higher than 99% on Unique-Ordinary You scored higher than 99% on Offense-Defense
