No... the 1,182 day form rejection I received today on a batch of poems has not at all contributed to keeping my dwindling spirits in the dumps. Thank you very much. 😑

I've spent most of this year struggling to survive. But I did have a happy moment when I discovered this fabulous mural 🎶🎶🎶

Forgot to share I have a published poem! 🖤 My poem “Hellfire Resung by the Man Without Desire” is piece #6 in Ghost Light Lit’s Issue 3: Smoke & Mirrors. 🌹☠️🧪🫧 🥀 www.ghostlightlit.com/read.html

Didn't realize how close I was to sharing a birthday with Peter Cushing, too! 😲

Miss Thang is SO unstoppably happy the vet decreed she shall remain coned an additional 2 days. This brings the total to 17 days 😅 Meanwhile, I've tried to get things done around the house. But I'm exhausted. I have no energy. And this is just going to be a sad birthday weekend. Loss is hard.

I lost another angel tonight. My bottle baby Lochlan. I'm heartbroken 😭😭😭 6/19/11 - 5/22/25

Just as I was beginning to feel human again, I've received an unexpected blow. Is it irony that I had also just chosen Kay Ryan's poem, "Why We Must Struggle," to include in my next passive poetry program? Needing all the positive vibes right now.

Family night 😸

When you're organizing old papers and find things you forgot about... I don't remember being any good at photography 😅 But I've always loved photographing nature. Especially the birds and gators 💙

Last night was stressful. Apparently little girl is so happy she popped her sutures. Every time she moved, I feared the worst 😖 The vet has fixed her right up. And we now get to wear this lovely cone for 10 MORE days. I now have a headache. But it's all good. And just how CUTE is this girl? 🥺😍🥰💙

Work just got a little more exciting 😎

A new story! "Gargoyle Girl" - My hopeful tale with dark edges is up in Worlds of Possibility. 🖤

The universe responded! My first contributor copy from Star*line arrived in the mail today!!! 🤩

Sending positive vibes into the universe. Let's have a great week!

Someone had a rough day! Grateful for Cheyenne that the spay is done and over with. Sleepy all day... up for a light snack. I expect tomorrow the mischievous whirlwind will resume. My sweet girl 🤍

Alas, my zoo does nor include frogs 😅🤣

The replacement peepers have arrived. Two pairs this time. Let's see how long they survive the mischievous whirlwind that is the puppy 👀
