 * Past / Family History:**Both my mother and father had been a miller and since I grew up with them, I naturally learned how to grind grains and make bread.

Dear Diary, As usual, I woke up early today even though I had slept late from selling so many bread yesterday. However, I think not getting enough sleep is paying off since my bread is getting famous. Even the abbot came today to buy my bread. I was very much honored and felt proud as I felt like I was carrying on my dead father and mother's job well. Today, I have gotten flour from the peasant to make my bread. I have thought when I get my flour, it would be different peasant all the time, but it is always the same peasant, Bruno Petite. Also, later in the day after selling all my bread, I went to the butcher's house to trade meat for my bread. The man is always sincere to me, sometimes even giving me extra meat! However, due to the cost of bread I see my sale of bread decreasing. I believe, this is all because of the huge debt and a big fault of our King Louis XIV and the Queen, Marrie Antoinette. Nonetheless, so far, I see my self surviving pretty well. However, money is not the problem I am having, I am extremely lonely. I think I need to get me a wife soon before I have an emotional breakdown.

Dear Diary, Today, like any other day I was selling my bread to people. Then, I would go to the butcher's place numerous times like any other day to trade my bread with his meat. The nice man gave me extra meat with benevolence as usual. However, this moment of mundane life was interrupted by the French Revolution. Even though I had been informed about this through the peasant, Angevin Lefèvre, when she had told me she was going to attend the Woman's March. I was actually more worried about my good customer, Alaire Depaul, the rich marquis because the third estates were mad at the nobles and the King for the increasing cost of bread while they had luxurious meals, so I thought that the peasants might attack him also. Although, I am part of the third estate, I was not concerned much about the cost of bread, because I make bread. Even though I could have made less money from my bread due to the increasing price, since my bread was famous, many nobles came to buy it which increased my sales. I also had enough bread made to survive through the hard times unlike other many third estates. So, I really had not much reason to revolt. I quickly went to the Alaire Depaul's house to check on him if he was okay along with my well known bread. After all, he turned out fine because even if he was a noble, he was more sincere than other usual snobby nobles so the peasants who worked for him weren't much angry at him. Even though our lives may not be hard yet, the country is going through chaos and unrest. I really hope this ends in the near future.

Dear Diary, After the chaos of out country, and the Reign of Horror, Napoleon came to power. Napoleon is considered out savior of the French republic since he led soldiers against French royalists who were attacking the National Convention. I think he made several changes that had a good impact. Many people these days are talking about the great effect of Bonaparte Napoleon. Today as I was receiving my flour from the carter, Victor Simon, we started discussing about how Napoleon's wars made France undoubtedly the best of Europe. Later in the afternoon, I even heard over a a beggar talking about great deeds Napoleon has done. My favorite reform was having fair taxation, for it made people less stressed about money and therefore, had economical spare to buy bread which made helped sell my bread more often. I hope our great Napoleon keeps up his good work.
