twilightpony | Winter Grime Blues

Winter Wrap Up is only days away. The snows are getting grimy with the soot of hearth fires and I was feeling a bit grimy myself. I joined Fluttershy and Rarity at the spa. In the sauna, while I sweated out my anxieties and lingering sadness at the thought of Epona saving everypony while dying of starvation, I told them some of what I'd read in Moondancer's notes. All on the QT, as it is unpublished research.

We managed to steer the conversation to preparing for Winter Wrap Up. Rarity is ready with her bird's nest ribbons. She has mended all the team vests that ponies have brought to her boutique and she has made a few new ones besides. I tried on my vest when I got home and it still fits. My growth has slowed down, I won't need my vest to be adjusted again this year. Fluttershy is hard at work with Amethyst Star, filling food baskets for the critters. They're stored at Amethyst Star's home to keep Angel and Fluttershy's mice from running off with all the choice bits.

After a long fragrant, refreshing soak at the spa, I dropped by Quills and Sofas and a few other shops to top up my supply of quills, ink and scrolls. I just need to check through my check list again and I should be ready to prepare for Winter Wrap Up too.

I think we should have another game night here before we wrap up winter and everypony gets really busy. I bet Pinkie would be up for that.
