After a year and a half away from her kingdom, the Flower Queen returned to her lands, only to discover that they had been taken over by the three Weird Mothers, a trio of women with no business sense. (Pre-wrapped roses for $4 each, but an unwrapped half-dozen for $8? A travesty!) The Flower Queen fought in vain, but she was still laid low with illness and so could not truly take the Field of Battle. Mum, Empress of the Realm Surrounding the Flower Kingdom, to whom the Flower Queen Pays Tribute, stepped in to negotiate, and an uneasy truce was made. The Flower Queen departed to her suite in Empress Mum's palace, content to bide her time until her next foray.

(Brat's school's theatre program is doing their first musical this weekend. 'rents roped me into coming along to sell flowers like I used to at my school, but when we got there, we found that the theatre moms were already at it, and they wouldn't listen to anything I had to say about the best way to do it, even though none of them had a farking clue. So, we sold them the flowers we'd bought, which they then sold for half-dozen for $8, and went home.)

In other news, I'm totally coughing up green snot, and yet the 'rents are making me go to the parade the brat's marching band is in. I don't have time to catch pneumonia! Why am I so damned diseased?
