I just got home from New York and it was AMASING! I made some really great contacts, and I think this trip could really advance my career. We did loads of shopping, fashion shows, and parties. New York is so brilliant, if they ever offer my a position out there, my bags will all ready be packed.
I did however, miss my birthday at home, which is kinda sad. I'm having dinner with my family tonight, and seeing Ryan on Sunday. My sister Mindy has excellent taste, and bought me the nicest scarf last year. My parents not so much, always an odd jumper, or some jewellry I would never wear. But it's the thought that counts, and I'm really excited to celebrate with them.
Bryony, I have your robes your wanted, they're really brill. I think they'll look so good on you. We should go out soon! Show off all our new clothes.

I haven't heard from Ryan, which is usual. It's not like he doesn't disappear. But I'm worried after the attack on Diagon Alley. Maybe I should owl him and see if everything is all right. I'm either the luckiest person on the face of the planet, or have a real knack of being in the right place at the right time. I almost feel guilty because twice now I've just gotten out of Diagon Alley without getting hurt. Right place at the right time.

My supervisor is considering to send me on another international assignment. New York this time, they're opening a new branch of Gladrags. It could be another good career opportunity, and if they ask me, I'm certainly going to take it. I had no idea this job would require so much travel.

I've just gotten home from Paris, and the trip was amasing! We saw so many beautiful clothes, and accessories. The shows were so much fun, and we got some really good ideas on what we're going to be featuring in the next few months. She is going to let me write something too! Nothing too big, just a little article, well, not even really an article. It's more a blurb on a page with a bunch of shoes on it. But still, I'm finally writing something. I feel really accomplished right now. Like I could do anything. I'm finally moving in my career, it feels really good.
I have been however keeping up with all the news from back home in the DP. It's good to see the trials are starting to happen, and hopefully justice will be served. My mother is a secretary in the legal department of the MoM, so she's been going to all of them. Hopefully, things will start going back to normal soon, and we can finally start working on rebuilding our lives.
It's nice to home, I really missed London. Paris was great, but you never know how much you miss something until you're somewhere completely different.

After my relaxing weekend with Mindy, my wonderful sister, and the little memorial we had for Charlotte, my cat. I feel well rested, and ready to move on from that tragic loss. My other sister Charlotte, whom I named my cat after, she was very honoured, is taking me to pick out another little kitten. Her mate from work's cat just had kittens, and I have to admit, I was getting lonely coming home to no one. A boyfriend would be most preferable, but I'll take a cat. It's just nice having someone greet you at the door, and have a little something to cuddle up while I proofread the articles, or listen to the WWN. I rather missed having a cat, I have to admit.
The most exciting thing that is on the horizon is I get to accompany my boss to Paris for a photo shoot, and see the new accessories coming out for fall. I leave in two weeks, and then I'll be there for a week. I've never really gotten to travel like this, my parents were all too busy to take real vacations, and I never had the time myself to see the world. So, I'm buying new clothes, and new luggage for I don't seem so...uncultured rather. None of my old clothes were fit for such a trip. I'm so excited, I really think my luck is turning around!

My oldest sister, Mindy, has invited me to come stay with her at a mate's little cottage in Brighton for the weekend. We're going to have a cookout, and look at these photo albums my mum put together of us as children. I'm going to bring my work with me, because Mindy has a really good sense of style, and I think she could be really useful with my article I'm working on. Well, helping with. I haven't written anything on my own just yet. I'm very much looking forward to some quality time with my sister.
My wonderful cat Charlotte, I've had her since Hogwarts has passed away. Not of natural causes or anything. She was hit by a car when I opened the door and she darted across the street. It was an unfortunate accident, and I'm taking her ashes with me to Brighton so I can sprinkle them on the beach. I think she would really appreciate that. It's been a really rough few months. This is just the icing on the cake
I think I might take a personal day tomorrow. I have a few affairs to get in order by the weekend.

It feels so strange to be at work, proofreading a piece on the right accessory for you. The right accessory for you doesn't really seem so important right about now.
