TEXT TO ROMY

-- When will you be home?

TEXT TO PRESTON

-- I've got a situation.

[added Thursday afternoon]

TEXT TO SHAY

-- I don't suppose you can not be at the house this evening?

Five years I've been in this apartment and now after a week of final packing, moving, and cleaning, I just turned my key in. I ate a lot of good food in that apartment and even had a very nice roommate for a hot second before she ruthlessly abandoned me (😏), but I'm not too sad to see it go.

Onto even better things.

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

It's a good week for a good week.

I'm going to need the ring on Friday.

FRIENDS

My mom has texted me six times in the last week, including just now before she went to bed, to remind me that there's that speed dating thing at Jazz House tomorrow. I would be genuinely shocked if I don't wake up to another text or at least get one before 10AM tomorrow. She really, really wants me to go.

I have nothing more to say about that, other than just how much I hate it and needed to make sure someone else knew the state of my world right now.

Who told them this was okay? The disrespect.



Also, yes, I only just activated my Dunhaven network account today. That should tell you all you need to know about my work/life balance during my residency. Not that it's improved that much since becoming a doctor, but no longer being in school has enabled me to watch the Great Hack on Netflix, become hella paranoid, deactivate my Facebook, and now I see the wisdom in small-town social networking. So long as city hall doesn't sell our data to the Russians like that pos Mark Zuckerburg.

After this weekend, all I want to do is research and map out my garden for next spring. It's probably a good thing I have work or it's all I'd be doing.

Hi. I need some big brother shaped wisdom, if you know one with the time.

WAVERLY

Hey, you. How have you been doing? I feel like I haven't been as attentive a friend as I should be.

[TEXTS TO WATERS SIBLINGS]

-- Faire is officially over. I'm probably crying.
-- But hey, that means my weekends are open until I inevitably sign myself up for whatever comes next.
-- Who wants to go kayaking this week?

[TEXTS TO LORELEI]

-- ALSO, THERE WAS A BOY.

FILTERED TO KNOWN PANEM PEOPLE

Last 4th of July, the sound of all the fireworks set off Haymitch's PTSD really badly and I had a public meltdown. So I just wanted to check on all of you, to make sure everyone is going to be okay today, and that you'll have someone with you in case things get difficult.

FILTERED TO REED SIBLINGS

I won't be at the fireworks tonight, but breakfast tomorrow morning?

36.

I'm not sure what to do with that number. Other than use it as an excuse to eat cake, of course. That I can do.

I'm dreaming of Alice Longbottom.

I have been, for [...] well, for as long as I can remember. I called her my imaginary friend, when I was younger, because I didn't know any different.

She's where I got most of the ideas for the Dreamery. (Her grandfather made and sold magical ice cream, there. Then.)

This wasn't how I expected to tell you all, but with Leo coming clean to the whole network about his dreams of Neville, you deserved to know.

Foster dreams of Frank Longbottom. It's what brought us together, but that's a long(er) story.

I love you all.

We all know this is why we do the job, anyway. 🌮🌯

-- When is your next day off?

One of my classmates in my developmental psychology class did a series of videos for their final project where they talked to couples and people at varying stages in their life. All of the videos are great, but my personal favorite is this one, not just because my grandparents make an appearance (57 years!), but because it gave me some warm fuzzies that were most welcomingly distracting during the chaos that is the end of the semester and finals week. Because of that, and with that classmate's permission, I had to share, just in case there were other people that needed such a distraction.

And on top of that, I feel like I'd be remiss if I didn't open this up as an opportunity for some additional warm fuzzies and general sappiness to be spread around. So tell me, couples of Dunhaven. When did you know you'd fallen for your partner? Alternatively, have you heard a particularly good falling in love story from family members or something of that type? My brain can't handle anymore studying, so I want to hear some stories. Make me awww.

I really often wonder where people get their ideas from, because I stumbled upon a everyone has a bone that matches their personality quiz.

I took it, regardless. If anyone is wondering, I am the distal phalanx (index finger). "For you, the devil is in the details! You are the navigator during road trips, the instructor while putting together IKEA furniture, the disciplinarian when someone makes a mistake and the reader during board games and anything involving “Terms and Conditions.” Accuracy matters to you, especially when getting the exact doughnut you pointed to in the case, or retrieving that errant piece of lint."

It isn't wrong.

Ramadan Kareem, Dunhaven.

ROMY

Thank you again for eating all the things with me yesterday.

GRACE, DIEGO, LYRA

I'm meeting Romy's family tomorrow for Easter.

ROMY

Does your mom have a favorite flower? I know her name is Iris, but I also know that people with flower names don't always like the flower they're named for so. [...] Also, should I bring anything? A dish to contribute?
