Having a severe case of #AWP FOMO.

I hope he's just really pruning it but it's down to a third of the size it was. 😫

I'm watching my neighbor decimate a quince bush which is technically on his property but is in front of my eyeline out my front window and my heart is breaking.

My writer's block is so bad, I can't think of anything cool enough to share.

I took today off and am wrapped up in blankets. My head feels like this:

For the last two days I've been feeling run down and puny. My eyes and nose are running and I'm coughing today. I really just want to go home and go to bed. This is the longest day ever.

Having a hard time keeping my eyes open today.

Is it kind of like a pizza?

I am going to write a poem today! What are you writing this weekend?

I went to The Bad Place to engage with an airline company because I could not reach them via website, app, or phone. They responded because I called them out online, but they didn't fix my issue. Grrrr.

Hahah, I will!

Are you really going to send off so many subs???? That's fantastic!!!

Ugh, starting the year off with a rejection. (Like really, they couldn't have waited until tomorrow???)

Depression Villanelle by J.C. Reilly

From earlier in the year, though I only just saw it had been published....

Sending you healthy vibes!

I was just given the pat down of my life at the tiny Shreveport Regional Airport. Apparently security is inversely proportional to the size of the airport. 🙄

Mom and I are listening to Christmas zydeco music and the Cajun Night Before Christmas on the radio.

Being home at my Mom's reminds me how much I miss having a piano to play. At some point I'll move the piano into my home in GA, and then I'll start taking lessons again.

Sending you healthy vibes! (And I'm so sorry for your fam!)

I nominate the Epstein files we got for worst blackout poetry of the year.

I watch this every year!
