Here's my journal entry for the year. Also, added POI's to the map, if you're wondering what's what at this point.
1st granite 1052
We've been here a year, and I haven't really looked at the place, I've been busy lopping down trees day and night. So when I took over architectural design of the tower today, I had to take a few minutes to inspect what we had. First off, I noticed the door to the irrigation pool was unlocked, even to pets! I fixed that quickly to prevent the stray cow from drowning our crops (though that would only make her position more tenuous, so I don't know why she'd do it). Also, I realized we were all crammed together sleeping here, and decided to fix that problem in my term as lead-architect. I took a look around the kitchen and had a chat with the cook, who was talking about cooking, with booze! I found this reprehensible and told him to stay away from the whiskey or I'd have his hide. Lastly, I ordered all our junk (well, got others to do that) in the basement.
17th Slate
Built a new trade depot, of solid gold of course! We have way too much of the stuff, I swear. HAHAHA just kidding. Migrants arrived today as well, which is good, more haulers!! Also, noticed the ranger was dragging his quiver around by the straps instead of wearing it, kinda worried about him. This wave of migrants took us from 15 to 37 dwarfs! I'm too lazy to do the math, but that's a lot more mouths to feed, better get someone on booze duty.
24th Fellsite
The apartments are going well, only one cave-in, and that was a poor order on my part, trying to fix a mistake. Only put a small hole in the floor below, and miraculously managed not to injure anyone.
23rd timber
Traders arrived today, didn't have much to trade aside from some odds and ends picked up from the plethora of kobold thieves lurking around, after my gold I'm sure. Traded it for some fix and meat, add some varieties to dinner. Almost done the living quarters, just needs a roof now.
On a side note, noticed one of our children had a broken toe, for a while now. I guess there WAS an injury in the cave in months ago, no idea how no one noticed. Set up a hospital zone in first floor, gotta get bandages and soap made. Soap, who knew I'd ever order the creation of that!
19th Moonstone
Roof going slower than expected, don't think it'll be done for spring. Armorer was possessed today, just sits there muttering about metal bars. We're knee deep in gold bars with more being smelted all the time! I tried everything, even moving a few crates of them right next to him, but he ignores them, and eventually goes mad, starts running around gibbering, poor blind fool.
