Happy Small Business Saturday! I hope you all didn’t blow all your money at big retailers yesterday and can still get out there and support our local economy, etc etc, but make sure you have a little extra leftover to come have one of the drinks off our seasonal menu. I gotta say, I think I have the most fun coming up with new twists on the holiday classics. Plus, we’ve got some cool stouts and porters on tap, too, like a chocolate peanut butter stout. I promise it’s really good.

I also have a wall of thankfulness up at the bar to remind us of the good things we’re fighting for every day, to keep us motivated when the world is bleak or on fire. Or, you know, just things to make us smile. My favorite is: I’m thankful that my boyfriend didn’t make me run a 5K this year. (That’s mine.)

WHO: Lucy Lyon → Catherine de' Medici
WHEN: Afternoon of November 24
WHERE: The kitchen of her house
SUMMARY: While putting away groceries, Lucy is given a disappointing memory from shortly after Catherine gave birth to Francis.
WARNINGS: None, just mistresses and bad husbands

( Her return to court was to be a triumphant one, one in which she knew she would get the attention she ought to have been getting all along, not only from her people, but from her husband. )

PARENTS + CHARLIE

Hey. I figured this was the easiest place to let you guys know that Charlie and I decided that we're not going to move in together after all. Nothing changed between us and we're as good as ever, but I wanted to be transparent with you guys and let you know. That's all.

[...] And I'm sorry for how I was acting. It wasn't cool of me. I love you guys.

Has anyone figured out where these dreams are actually coming from? Because I'm done. I don't want them anymore and if we know where they come from, maybe we can make them stop.

[...] I know that's a daft question. I just needed to lodge my formal complaint and I don't think there's a manager I can speak with about it.
