How pleased was I to find out this morning when I arrived at work that Mrs Alverton has taken a liking to the recent fairy fad? A hint: not very. For those of you who haven't had the annoyance of dealing with the little creatures yourself, they are personal assistents in the form of a fairy. Mrs Alverton felt the need to purchase one for every employee in the building. (This includes the pool cleaner. Don't ask me why.)
Unfortunately the fairy that has been assigned to me did little today but fly around my head, try to distract me, mess up my paperwork, and make loud noises while I was on the phone. I like to think of myself as peaceful, but I honestly felt like ripping its little wings out by the end of the day. Has any of you dealt with these creatures before, and if so, would you be willing to give me a few tips?
Oh, and Emma, I forgot to ask this morning. Do you feel like going out shopping together soon? I know it's still early days, but I'd like to get started on my Christmas presents.

In case you were wondering why you haven't heard from me in a while, it's because I've been hit with a terrible case of the flu. This does not, however, explain why my hair is currently green. And not only is my hair the most awful shade of green, my skin also appears to be orange.
I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me what illness exactly would cause such symptoms, because I must admit I'm freaking out a bit here. Perhaps the endured exposure to the flu has affected my retinas? Am I going crazy? Or maybe this is some twisted form of revenge from the apartment walls (don't ask).
Floating around I can handle (even while I managed to dislocate my shoulder when the gravity was turned back on), but this change is rather disturbing.

Well. At least the pancakes were good?
Mrs Alverton has been hinting she wants to meet "my lovely brother and sister" and she's been saying how a girl my age should have a man in her life because it's unhealthy to be all alone. Personally I'm a bit freaked out by all of it. She's my boss, for Merlin's sake! What I do outside of working hours is none of her business. I've got Emma and there are lots of nice people around. I don't need a bloody boyfriend. The last one I had was bad enough, thanks.
The thing is, I can't exactly tell her that, because she's my boss and it might cost me my job. Any ideas on how I can get her to shut up?

My first two weeks of work have been fairly uneventful, but I think that's a good thing. I've learned where everything is and what exactly I have to do, and it's always good to have some certainty in life. Mrs Alverton, my boss, is a bit strange, but I'm sure I'll get used to her.
In other news, Emma and I have prettied up our apartment, although that sounds a lot easier than it was! I can't believe the owners of the cafe didn't tell us the walls have an aversion to blue, among other colours. Honestly! I think I still have some Radiant Pink in my hair.
Anyway, Emma and I were thinking of having a housewarming party. Would anyone be interested in coming? I could make my Boeuf Bourguignon, which is a French dish aunt Olivia used to make for us.
Oh, and do remind me to never go on holiday in Brazil.

It's been years since I've written in one of these. I remember having a journal during my third and fourth year, but I haven't a clue where I left it. Either way, it was easy enough to pick up a new one in that cute little bookstore I discovered the other day. Diagon Alley has changed quite a lot since the last time I was here, but I'm sure it won't take long for me to get used to the new layout. Getting lost every time I leave the flat is beginning to get bothersome.
I suppose I should say "hi", shouldn't I? I don't expect many of you will remember me, but I used to be a Hufflepuff at Hogwarts. Our family left for France when the war things became a bit too intense. But what's done is done and I'm pleased to say I'm back now, hopefully to stay. I've recently moved into an apartment with Emma, and I'm still trying to figure out how everything works at my new job, but I'll be fine.
So. How's everyone been? Could this be more awkward?
