...last week*

*mutters* By the Crafty Muses, are we a party lot, or what?

*sets about straightening room*

*lines up the numerous bottles of wine and Firewhisky*

*admires lineup of newly framed and proudly displayed letters from JK Rowling to the Crafty Witches*

*notices Hardhatcat’s is gone*

*furtively looks around and takes own letter down and stuffs into her bag*

*finishes clearing up and banishes trash to lower kitchen*

*hesitates and wanders over to desk*

*finds small pile of updates and letters*

            Hp5freak—

           I took my letter home.  It’s a long way to Oz and I’d like to be able to see it regularly.  Great party last night, by the way.  I wasn’t aware that you were able to…er…well, it was great.  How’s Josée doing with her concussion, followed by the party?  Is she resting well?

            Hardhatcat 

*remembers week of partying*

*remembers week of hangover*

*feels sore muscles in arms from squailing*

*looks at rest of piled up work*

*glances at her bag, bulging with her framed letter*

*posts update and runs before the rest of the Crafty Witches show up*

( Well, we *did* get SOME work done.... )

*stretches and heads toward newly decided/designed/constructed on wishful thinking Tower of Power…er…Craft wing of The Leaky Cauldron*

*pops head in first floor lounge/tea area to say hi to visitors and other staff taking tea and admiring the galleries*

*waves hi to Gramma Beth*

*trudges up the stairs, slowly…* Don’t want to trip!

*whinges again about not having an elevator pass*

I want a winding stair like Dumbledore had.

*pulls out slip of paper out of pocket and mutters spell*

*jumps when Crafty Witch Staff Room appears to her right*

*does a complicated dance of sorts—very secretive—and turns to the left to walk in* (Hey, you have to know the tricks up here…)

*runs into glass wall, spilling pumpkin juice on her new robes*

Dangit…where’s my badge?

*pulls badge out of other pocket, waggles at glass*

*is allowed in craft room for real this time*

*mutters* Security measures…

*checks list of updates and sits down to type*

*notes supplies are low*

*writes list for someone other than SELF to get it taken care of*

*goes back to updates*

Did I mention that we are now OFFICIALLY caught up with ALL of our past updates? We are!!! Witch (get it?) means we are all in FORWARD motion.

*dances a bit, and falls through floor to design area*

Rats. I forgot that dance is part of the trapdoor jinx.

I think I’ll go back down and have some tea. Until next week….
