I HAVE THE REST OF THE DAY OFF. It is one pm and I am going home. Brought the Minister some lunch, dropped off everything I needed to in my department, and I am out for the day. Working that hard and vigorously has definitely paid off. I'm not even thinking about tomorrow right now, I'm just going to go home and take the longest bath of my entire life. Oh my gosh. I'm excited.
Might even go out and see a movie or rent one or something.
All of this right after I go to Mungo's and get something for these headaches!

I need to set up an appointment with a Healer before I go nuts, but I really don't have the time. I've had this same headache for at least three days, I swear, and all of the Muggle medicine I've been trying hasn't done a thing for me. Maybe I should run over to Mungo's instead of going out to get lunch for everyone... but then Percy won't have lunch and he barely eats any of it as it is...
I'll just have to go faster! Maybe I can get some lunch for him at least and then run to Mungo's, and if they aren't too busy I'll just slip in and out, and then run his lunch back to him. It wouldn't matter so much, but I just can't keep working like this. We need people at the top of their game right now, and I'm certainly not like this. ... I'll figure something out.

Padma! Parvati! I think we need to go hang out! Just like in the good old days. I haven't been around both of my "little sisters" at the same time in forever! I miss it!
It's so exciting to see the Ministry making so much progress after everything that's happened. Everyone has been working so hard to bring it back up, and while I'm not sure that we can ever reach the same organization that we had before until we can get an actual building back, I'm so impressed with how much everyone's been putting into this! It restores a little faith. And touche, Hermione! I think my head is completely submerged in paperwork now!
[Private to Sturgis]
Think you could help me with something?

Wedding! Wedding! Wedding!
I love weddings! As much as it would seem like I don't... but that's not the point! I'm so excited for you two! And I managed to pick up our gift for you guys during my lunch break today! Ten minutes as it was, I GOT IT!
Percy is going to stay "as long as he can", which could mean anything from the ceremony alone to part of the reception... but he's coming, so I'm incredibly happy.
CHARLIE! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!
VATI! Boygossip! Right now! Landon isn't telling me anything, he just smiles and denies me the information I desire!
Bah! I 've got to run but I'll be checking back later for any news from anyone! Love you all! See you tomorrow!

Ok, so I admit that I was so very close to getting to work late today, but only because I spent all morning wondering just how ridiculous I acted last night. I don't know about the rest of you, but I vote that we do some Girl's Night Out's every once in awhile simply to act like fools with each other. Not that we have to get smashed every time, but go out and have some fun.
Vati, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. My stomach hurts so bad right now!
Congratulations again, Hannah! And good luck to Puddlemere as they train for Euro!

During times like this, when Mungo's is already as busy as it is with repairs and getting everything re-situated, I really wish that I could just not get hurt. Today was possibly the last time that I am wearing heels, ever. It just broke, just like that! And suddenly my ankle was sideways and there was this disgusting cracking noise. That hurt so bad.
I'm sitting in Mungo's now, waiting for the Healer to come back and see if everything grew straight. Mending bones isn't the most wonderful experience I've ever had.
It was Demelza, right? That broke the toe? We need to make a club for people that have feet/ankle issues. I'm ready to just chop off my feet altogether!
Percy, I'm not sure if you're even going to get home before nine tonight, but I'll get something for us to eat on the way home... don't have enough time to cook anything now.
Hope everyone else's day is going better.

Thanks to everyone who showed up at the match last night! We had a great time, if I do say so myself. I'm glad most everyone could make it. And of course, thank you to Madison, our wonderful hostess at the pub for the drinks and place to go for celebration! The pub is beautiful! I'll have to stop into your coffee & tea shoppe more often! Might be my new morning stop!
[Private: to Order Members, Ministry/Order Supporters (besides the Minister and anyone too close to him)]
Thank Merlin that the Minister is on vacation. He's been breathing down everyone's backs like he has the right to. I can't work like that, especially not when he starts calling out commands to my Head. I can barely think when people aren't talking calmly, and he doesn't help at all. And then there's the fact that my Head of Department has me running left and right on errands for him. I'm not his secretary, and even though he doesn't have one, he needs to hire someone for that specific task if he needs it. Kingsley, I feel for you.
And everyone else that's working in the Ministry right now. Maybe this vacation will destress him some.
[/End Private]
Hope everyone is doing well.
Penelope

ALRIGHT. Since work is really starting to drive me mental, and I really need something to look forward to (even though, Percy, we need to go find furniture. Pretty please?) I say that we rally for tomorrow's Quidditch match!
I know that I've already got my tickets to it; Oh, yeah, Perce, you're going to go right? It would be amazing if you could... but I can give it to Vati if you can't. Though I'm sure Oliver already has her covered.
So here's the deal... let's go in a big group! And I'm sure that those of you who are barely able to afford water (Harry...Ron...you know) can get in with someone. There are THREE people that we know as an Order that can get at least a few free tickets, and all you bloody Quidditch players get in for free anyway, so we're practically covered. So if for some reason there is a shortage of tickets, and you have no money, everyone can donate a bit and we will GET YOU INTO THAT GAME.
We have to go to support them now that they are getting back on their feet! And besides, PUDDLEMERE HAS TO BEAT THE BLOODY FALCONS. Because if they don't I'm losing TWENTY galleons
Let's make us a list, eh?
Who's going?
Penelope Clearwater
Angelina Johnson
Roger Davies
Harry Potter
Ron Weasley?
Hermione Granger?
Ginny Weasley
Bill Weasley
Fleur Weasley
Arthur Weasley?
Percival Weasley
Parvati Patil
Jamie Spinks
Regulus Black
Cliff Warrington
Laney Rivers
Lucas Montague
Vicky Frobisher
Jack Sloper
Rose Zeller
Romilda Vane
Lavender Brown
Laura Madley
Viktor Krum
Alicia Spinnet
Madison Montgomery
Cho Chang

It's so much better having someone to be with like Percy in a time like this. While Owen protected me and was there... I wasn't really there for him in return and I felt like part of me was missing, so I didn't feel safe.
It just feels so right now, you know? I just wish that everything else could be alright. I'm so scared now. If Remus can be killed hurt.. I'm just scared. I didn't mean to start rambling.
[Hexed Private to The Order]
I love you all as if you were my family. If any of you need anything, let me know.

I'm trying to tell myself that it is just pre-wedding jitters coming over me and I'm not getting cold feet.
I'm trying really hard to tell myself that, but I don't know if it's true.
I feel dishonest going into this, you two. I don't know what to do. I love Owen, but.. I don't.. he doesn't.. he doesn't have all of me, you know? I'm still in love with Percy.

I'm just a bundle of nerves right now! I don't know what to think about all of this wedding jumble! I'm running this way and that way trying to make everything make sense and be in order, but once I think everything is done, I turn around and suddenly there are a thousand more things to do! I'm glad this only happens once... well for most people.
And of course, I'm scared at the same time! I'm scared that something will go wrong! I'm scared that I'm doing the wrong thing. I'm scared that I don't love Owen. I'm scared that I'm lying to myself.
I'm trying so hard not to just freak out. But I think everything will even out on it's own and all will go well. What happens, happens, right?

Well, it looks like the wedding will be in February. Owen doesn't see any reason to stall and not do it sooner, although I wish I had some more time to plan it. Everything's going to be so hectic. We're thinking around the end of the month so that it won't be as cold. It will still be a bit nippy ofcourse, but not so bad. I just hope it doesn't rain.. I hate the rain. The guest list just keeps getting longer and longer, with his huge family and my own adequetly sized one.. and then I swear we know half of the Ministry between the two of us, and they're all being invited, and ofcourse our close friends. I'm nervous, but that's normal isn't it?
I suppose I should get back to my dress search now that I finally have some free time and am off of work.
Until then.

Of course all of you are invited to come, I'll feel much more comfortable with you guys there anyway.

I wanted to ask you two if you would be my Maids of Honor..? I know it's short notice, only two months away, but I would be so grateful if you accepted!

I.. I told Owen yes. Penelope Keuffaufer. That sounds alright, doesn't it? He was really excited.. it made me feel better. I shouldn't have even put it off in the first place, you know? I should have just told him yes. I guess that it's what's best.. my parents are really excited. I'm not.. I always wanted it to be P
I don't know why I am still confused about all of this. I guess it's just the excitement! Sure, lie to yourself to make it feel better, Penny.. I should finish getting ready though. He is taking me out to dinner.. I think he sort of felt the last dinner wasn't good enough because I said I had to think about it.
Actually, his proposal was amazing! He led me to all of these different places and I kept finding Scrabble pieces that were wrapped up in colored paper. And he brought me to get a dress and shoes, and jewelry, and my hair done, and my nails.. all of which I have hardly ever done. And soon we were in Aruba. There was this little home on the top of this beautiful cliff, and he let me go in and get my dress on and get ready.. and when I came out there was a little table with candles lit and the Scrabble pieces lined up to read "Will you marry me, Penny?" And then out of no where he came up behind me, and when I turned around he was on one knee with a ring. I guess.. I feel bad for not saying yes when he had all of this planned out.
I guess I'm am in love. But I shouldn't love two men at once..it's not fair to Owen

I suppose that since I bought this journal I should use it. Works going well..what am I kidding myself, none of you want to hear about that. Everyone else has something interesting to write about, but not Penny. Just as boring as ever.
Well actually.. Owen asked me to marry him! So that's exciting, but I told him I had to think about it. And I know he got permission from Daddy because he kept hinting at something the last time I was home. I'm not completely sure why I told him I needed to think about it.. he looked so ready to move on with our relationship, and that look in his eyes when the answer wasn't yes was just awful to watch. I didn't so no though.. just not yes. What's holding me back I'll never know..I think I'm still in love with someone else.. He's an amazing man, and he has a wonderful family. But so does Percy.. the Weasley's are the best in-laws someone could have. Too bad I'll never have them as in-laws. I'm sorry, I keep rambling.
