The Dreamery is two, and there's nothing terrible about that! I've already posted on Instagram, but I can't help sharing the news here, too. This business was something I dreamed of for years, and I couldn't be more proud or more grateful for how well it's been embraced by everyone here in Dunhaven. Your support and your commitment to our local small businesses is what makes this town thrive! In celebration of this anniversary, I've partnered with several other local small businesses for a limited-run series of flower-inspired flavors. We're welcoming nature through edible flowers, fresh fruits, and aromatics. Trust me, you don't want to miss this!

TEXTS TO MAL & REMI, separately

-- Hey, so I was thinking of grabbing pizza and potstickers on the way home if we want to have a movie night or something?
-- On the way home from Hilton Head, I mean.
-- Where I flew this afternoon.
-- Since apparently I woke up Kryptonian a few weeks ago.
-- And can now fly.
-- Do you have any preference on toppings or should I just stick with my usual order?

I ordered "Moving In with Your Significant Other" a few months ago and Amazon was finally able to deliver my package this weekend. After opening it and taking out all of the parts to assemble them, I found that they not only sent me everything I'd been hoping for but way more. Without any extra charge, they upgraded me to the "Two TVs" and "Love of My Life" deluxe edition.

I know I'll be using this product for years to come, but I am already so satisfied with my purchase. If a similar product goes on sale (this exact one is very rare and will hopefully never be in stock again), I highly recommend jumping into it without too much deliberation. Worst case scenario, you'll get the "Great Adventure" and "Hot AF Girlfriend" options.

10/10, would totally buy again!! ♥

LAVENDER

Hey. I have some good news and I want to share it with you. Would you like me to wait until we can see each other in person or would you like it now?

Hey, guys. I know things have been weird terrible different lately, but Avery and I just found out that she's pregnant and you were the first people I wanted to tell, outside of our relatives and all that. So [...] yeah. We're having a kid and it's kind of amazing. She's due in October.

REMINGTON

Heyyyyyy, gorgeous. I've been thinking, and I have an idea to run by you but, before I do, I want you to know that I'm just putting this out there for you to think about and there is zero pressure or expectation. You don't even have to answer right now! I know there's a lot more to think about for you than me, so I completely understand if you need to take some time to mull it over before you respond.

But I'm getting ahead of myself and nervous rambling and realize I haven't even put the idea out there, yet, so here goes. What do you think about you and me getting a place together?

Hey, Dunhaven. Business has been doing quite nicely and I think that we could do with another mechanic or two at K. So, if you or someone you know is looking for a job, send them our way. We'll take anyone from experts to people that have some know how and are eager to learn. Flexible hours. Good wages, plus commission. I usually bring coffee from Java Hut for everyone in the morning, sometimes even spring for muffins.

Okay, that's it. 👍🏽 (I figured out how to do emojis, so I'm not old anymore.)

It is this beautiful, intelligent, and astonishingly kind woman's birthday today. If you haven't wished her a happy one yet, I can't help but feel like you should. I might be biased, though. She does let me continue to call her my wife, after all.

A) Who did this?
B) How dare you?
C) Why am I is James not even an option?! Fucking rude.

I know that I have been sketchy and weird lately and I'm sorry for it. The last couple of months have been strange and I haven't really known what to do with or think about them so I was trying to keep it all close and guarded. It's left me keeping something from you guys, though, and I feel like the worst sort of person for doing it so I wanted to change that. I'm sorry again for doing this over the network, but it seemed like the easiest way to do it.

Lavender, I told you recently that I wasn't having the dreams like everyone else. That was a lie and another thing that I'm sorry for. I have been having the dreams for several months now, I just didn't recognize what they were or what they meant until recently and then I had an even harder time accepting any of it. The truth is that I've been dreaming about Peter Pettigrew. I know that's all relevant to you guys given your own dreams and I should have told you sooner, but [...] I just didn't know how to approach it. I don't even know if I'm approaching it correctly now.

Anyway. [...] I'm sorry. Again.

AVERY

I told them.

[REMI, LYRA, & LIAM]

Okay, so, here are my plans Halloween 2k18: 1) Drinking 2) Scary movies/It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown 3) Staying up all night so as to avoid strikingly vivid dreams of my alternate self's untimely death.

I'm sad that I don't like this day anymore :( I wonder if I can get a bereavement day approved for 11/1 for my other self...lol.

[LAVENDER]

Just fyi, Halloween might be rough.

We can get victory over even the most insurmountable task with a fresh, succinct and bulleted list. That's how I got through moving half-way across the country (Iowa is half-way, you can't tell me any differently), got through my MFA and made it back home again.

That's how things work in the Craig household. We have a step-by-step list for getting through the day.

And because I want to keep getting through the day, I need to do a list for you. I've been reading through your old entries. I know you're having dreams. I know some of you are talking about them. I know that you are pretty sure these dreams have something to do with another existence, maybe even one you thought was fiction, and it isn't just fanciful creativity.

I'm having them too and they're keeping me up, they're sapping my attention, they're eating at me from the inside and it's because I'm completely and utterly alone. So, if you could help me cross this off my list, that would be grand.

Who knows Lily Evans? Or, rather, Lily Potter. She and I are sharing some brainwaves.

FILTERED TO LGBTQ MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY

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.

Happy first day of Hogwarts, everyone. I'm making pumpkin pasties, cauldron cakes, and treacle tart to celebrate. And by me, I mean Remington because why would I eat any sweets made by anyone else?

MAL, BEAU & REMI, separately

What does it mean if I have dreams about being an invincible alien? Like am I more or less than, or equally crazy to the rest of the people in Dunhaven dreaming about strange things?
