So as it turns out, snow and cold weather is good for neither assistive devices nor poetry. Both the mobility of my parents and the mobility of what little words I possess are in the toilet.

Thanks January. You better believe I'm ready to put you in the rearview. Spring is too close for this.

I saw what you wrote on the network. And it seems so wrong for me t And I was just thinking about how it might be a good idea to talk? I can listen. We were ther

Hello, you all. I love 2019, don't you?

In case you missed the announcement this morning, Dan of Mornings With Dan fame at WRAV is officially retiring at the end of 2018 after roughly a million years with the station. Taking over the morning time slot will be yours truly, so get ready to listen to my dulcet voice on your morning commutes. I promise not to make it too painful for you as I struggle with transitioning between a vampiric sleep schedule to normal human being.

PS: On as scale of zero to So Very, how Grinchy is it if you take down all of your Christmas decorations before NYE? Asking for a friend.

KIERA

They actually hated me, didn't they? That was inarguably 'fake' nice.

FRIENDS* & FAMILY

As I think most of you probably know by now, I've been waiting for my house to get finished and uh it's finished. My stuff was moved while I was in Boston over the weekend and we've been spending the last several days kind of working on unpacking things so it's still kind of a mess. I'm cheerfully optimistic, though, and with it being the holidays and stuff, I wanted to do something. You've all been really great to me since I came to town and I'd like to do something as a bit of a thank you.

I don't think I could really handle Christmas or anything, but maybe a few days later, like... next Saturday? The 29th? I'd say New Years Eve, but I know the town throws a pretty great party and I don't want to get in the way of that, you know. So, yeah. Food, drinks, that kind of thing. I don't know that this sounds like the most enticing of invitations, but if you're free, it would be good to see you.

Is there Is I'm not trying to start something, but I was wondering if

Bucky Barnes isn't here, is he?

[...] It's fine if he is. And, I mean, you don't really have to tell me. I just wanted to check. But it's fine.

ANNIE

I realized that I hadn't actually told you this yet, but I'm going to be in Boston this weekend. I'm flying out around noon on Friday and will be home pretty late Sunday night.

EMILIA

Just so you know, I'm going to be out of town this weekend. I know you have your sister and Kiera around, but I just wanted you to know in case something comes up and you needed me for whatever. I'll bring you back a Boston cream pie and some cannolis.

Hi, Dunhaven. Random question. Is anyone having dreams about evil queens? Just wondering.

DANIELLE

Hypothetically speaking, is there a way to make certain that, should I choose a family, that they are sincerely genuine and won't at some later point in time turn into monsters? And, if they do turn into monsters, is there any way to reverse that placement?

( cut for a bunch of deleted text )

If anyone happens to know of someone who has experience as a nanny and is looking for a job, please let Mikhail or I know. It would be nice to find someone with a personal connection for when I go back to work. Look at that, I can sound like a normal person.

EMILIA

Happy Tuesday, folks.

CATY

Hey. I'm sorry if this is overly familiar of me, but I was wondering if you had any plans for Thanksgiving? Were you going back to Boston?

Me trying to take naps since moving to Dunhaven:

EMILIA

Your birthday is coming up, I noticed. [...] Because I don't want to step on toes and/or do something you might not like, can I put together a get together for you? Cake, food?

MIKHAIL

You're amazing, you know. I thought it was important you were reminded.

EMILIA

Hey, you. How are you doing?

ANNIE

Tell me about homecoming. Did you chaperone? Did you bust anyone trying to spike the punch? Any dirty dancers?

ELLE

What's new with you? Please tell me all the things.

It's October 1, which means that we've officially entered the one month of the year where it's socially acceptable for me to get spooky af. I am here 👏 for 👏 it 👏. 🎃🎃🎃🎃

TEXT TO KIERA & ELI
-- I'm realizing that I am actually the most selfish person I know.
-- My sister's having her baby (!!!!) so I called our parents and they're taking the next available flight back here.
-- And my first thought is how I wish they wouldn't because now I have to figure out how to convincingly hide the fact that I'm definitely showing.
-- Honestly, I think this says more about you all than it does me because you all chose to like me. 🤷

TEXTS TO MIKHAIL

-- Good morning, sunshine.
-- Are you busy?

TEXT TO EMILIA

-- I think I'm about to have the baby, fyi.

TEXTS TO ANNIE

-- Hey, you.
-- I might be going into labor, as a head's up.

TEXT TO ELLE

-- I don't think I'm going to have the baby at the bar. ☹️

Hey, everyone!

I wanted to take a second to apologize for not organizing anything for us for awhile. My plate has been a little on the full side recently, and I'm sorry to say I let it slide. I'll try to start organizing some get togethers for us more frequently again. I imagine we could all use it.

What do you all think of getting together for a Paint Nite sometime in the next week or two? I'm also open to other suggestions if you have ideas.
