Buenos días, cafecito en mano☕ y disfrutando del nuevo relato publicado en Aanuk: «Coiffeur siete», de @kirsphere.bsky.social, donde a través de una IA peluquera obtenemos toda una reflexión sobre los cuidados paliativos.

Vivaldi is home!

Here's Vivaldi meeting my mom yesterday. Still on Target to bring him him Wednesday at noon.

This is Vivaldi. I will be picking him up to bring him to his forever home on Wednesday.

RIP, Tara, aged 20, my mom's longtime companion and guardian, who was also a sweet friend to me as I've cared for my mom for the last four years.

I'm at a B&B for a week, and these are my temporary companions, Pudding and Cookie.

This pic is from a while ago, but this is what my writing life sometimes feels like.

I'm so here for this.
You know what? Today’s the day. I’m going to translate a haiku into a limerick and none of you can stop me.

飛こんで 古歌洗う 蛙かな

You know Bashō, of course -- magisterial -
and his old puddle (beauty: ethereal).
But if you like haiku
then check out Buson too,
'cause that froggy has got new material.

Hello all. For anyone who doesn't know me yet, I'm a long time writer of short stories who has been ramping it up since become a full time caregiver to my 89-yr-old mom at the start of the pandemic. I publish in both literary and spec milieus, and also write stuff that can't fit into either.
