That was a very long month. There was not one thing about it that I enjoyed. I do hope that this month will bring kinder times.

To those that I interacted with on the night of All Hallows Eve, I am sorry. Perhaps it is not that I am sorry, but more confused. I had no knowledge of the person I was dressed up as. I find it odd that just because I was dressed up as that person that I would suddenly know everything about her. I should not, however, with the curses that this City so loves to inflict on the people here.

Does anyone know a good book about astrology? Ever since I found out from Ms. Excel that Pluto is a planet, I have been interested in finding more information. What other heavenly bodies have been found since my time? What else is out in the darkness that is the sky? I wish to know.

How are you fairing Cain, and Merry as well? It has been some time since we sat for tea. I would enjoy it if we could sit together and talk. I do hope that you are enjoying this curse free day. Who knows when the next curse will hit?

Ron and Hermione, are you both all right?

What is this holiday called Thanksgiving that I am hearing about?

I am pleased that Merry is back, though I wish she could have returned at a better time.

There where dead all over the streets when I looked out the windows this morning. I also saw the occasional rat scurry around the Opera House.

I am staying inside and locking my door. This is no time to be outside with the dead and vermin.
