He fell asleep with his mouth full of food and his tail mid wag.

While tonight we may be all cried out, it is an honor to say the best boy went out wagging his tail and happy till the end.

We took him for a deluxe pup cup with chocolate, caramel and the works. Then off to Popeyes for mashed potatoes drowned in gravy, chicken and fries in the park. And finally we ended his day driving around town and letting him get the wind in his ears one last time.

Yesterday was a sad day.... so show me your rainbow bridge babies.

Sunday night Barkley started showing signs that it was close to time, so today Adam rushed home from work to give the little man the best day ever and help him over the rainbow bridge.

I woke up and decided to try something new with my hair, which was my first mistake. My hair does not...hair. So, now, I've been ROASTED by my niece. I'm 💀.

Absolutely cooked.

But I laughed at her response for a solid ten minutes.

I'm both proud and terrified of her 🤣

I don’t usually talk about my heritage. Growing up in MS in the 90s, I knew maybe 3 Hispanics total, and not one Cuban I wasn’t related to.

I've always been an outsider to my own roots
& that doesn’t have to be my 📖. If I’ve got to make my own way, might as well take a path that brings me home.

Cooper Everhart has always been too strange, too quiet, too unseen.

Then light curls through his fingers and opens a door to Emberdeep, a world of star born magic and shadowed hunger. But magic comes at a cost, and if he fails to master it, both worlds will slip into the dark.

Weeeeell.... should I drop a character profile yet?

Let's see how many likes I can get and I'll post my first of many character profiles.
Blank Character profile sheet for Prism from A Crown of Shadows and Stars. The page features a pencil sketch of a regal, angular figure with a crown-like headpiece on the top left, and a horizontal banner with book covers and a circular PM Creative logo on the top right. The template includes labeled sections for physical description, background, character goals, relationships, motivations, and conflicts. All text boxes are currently blacked out, leaving only the headings visible. The layout is clean and structured, with beige background and dark text.

I'll be back in full swing next week.

Thanks to the four of you who have been checking in. Grief was a bitch this time around, but I can't wait to get back to my happy place...

I love you guys for that.

While it's killing me to have to put my debut novel on the back burner while I get my house in order, I do get to take a step back and appreciate being to able turn the worst lemons we've had in a while into the sweetest lemonade.

Friend recommended Dungeon Crawler Carl and I cracked it open thinking, “Fine, distract me.”

It’s absurd, and sharp in all the right ways.

It sounds exactly how I hope I one day sound, if my inner monologue wore heart-print undies and carried a cat named Doughnut.
