Gasp!! I haven’t posted since DECEMBER! Ouch! My poodle to the left says that’s not good!
A quick update: it’s been a busy semester! In addition to my full-time job, I had Advanced Poetry and Advanced Fiction this semester — stellar courses from incredible professors. I’m so grateful for the massive amount of learning that took place and for the work I was able to produce during my time in their courses.

On a sad note, we said goodbye to our sweet PJ in January. He was nearly 13 years old and within a week of receiving a kidney failure diagnosis it was time to say goodbye. Losing a pet is so difficult. My other two pets, Chewie and Mayiah, also have health issues. It’s incredibly difficult to say goodbye. I’m so grateful I was able to be their pet mom.
In other news, I’ve spent a lot of this last year prioritizing my life and focusing on what’s really important (and grad school takes up most of my free time). I’ve eliminated a lot from my crazy life, and that’s included toxic people too.
I hope to start blogging more regularly. Though I doubt that many people actually read this. To those who do read this, I wish you happiness, joy, and gratitude.

I read them!!! I look forward to reading them. So sorry about your fur baby! We lost our beloved Mr. Max almost 3 years ago to the same condition. We have added Buster to our family and he keeps us entertained! I don’t know how you time or energy for all that you do.
