Aragorn stifled a threatened yawn. He forced himself to assume an alert expression as the poet recited a seemingly endless, and joyless, saga in praise of his own great deeds. He thought enviously of Arwen, excused the ordeal because of her pregnancy.

Beside him, Faramir listened with a rapt expression. Even so, Aragorn was puzzled as to why Arwen had been so insistent that the Steward attend.

The room was unpleasantly warm. Perhaps later he could..

A sharp dig in his ribs jolted Aragorn back to full wakefulness.

“The Queen warned me that I might have to wake you,” Faramir grinned.

Such a long, frustrating day. My sis and I went to Kohl's yesterday and it was actually a nice experience. They were trying very hard, with helpers and guides to help people find what they wanted and get checked out as quickly as possible. We would have gone to Target, but the parking lot was absolutely full, not a space to be had, so we came home. I know things are much more difficult where you are, because of the hurricanes. Good luck with the mortgage company and getting things done soon.

I feel your pain! ;) I've started going to Wal-Mart in the middle of the night...(read: between 1-2 AM ;) just so that I don't have to avoid running over small children and the elderly... ;)
(I like to shop quickly...I have a list, don't get in the way of The List. ;)
Not to mention having to stand in line for days... :)

Luckily...I'm a night person anyway... ;)

But I hope things get squared away for you soon! And have a wonderful Christmas or whatever mid-winter holiday you might celebrate! :D

I hate standing in line for that long but I suppose everything still is catastrophe conditions where you live. Things will take time to fix and get back to normal and I think you are so brave. I can't comprehend how it really must be living through what you have. I really hope you get your money soon so you can start really doing the repairs that you need.

*hugs you*
