Tonight was one of the best of my life. I accompanied a small group to listen to a scholar of poetry recite poems from his vast memory to the harvest moon. He channeled the voices of Antonio Machado, Federico García Lorca, Juan Ramón Jiménez, & César Vallejo through the night air. Afterwards, joy

Jesús Hedo, literary expert of Antonio Machado and Federico García Lorca, reciter of poetry, famous for his vast memorization of Spanish poetry, professor of literature, Segovian legend, smiles after reciting poems under the harvest moon.

This morning’s pastry run through Segovia’s plaza mayor.

The central plaza of Segovia, Spain. In the background is the city’s gothic cathedral bathed in morning light. To its right, across the street, and a bit in front of it, is a building over which there is a hot air balloon. Because it is early, the plaza is empty. In a few hours it will be bustling.

I just got a weather alert that there is a huge thunderstorm passing over the place where Lily is boarding. She hates thunder. 😢 I wish I could hold her right now.

Not a cloud in the sky. Segovia, Spain.

Not sure why I bother to put on my face before getting on a morning flight. It’ll be on my sternum by noon. I think Imma let the world see me in all my unpolished splendor.

I can’t sleep the night before a trip, so instead I’ll just look at pictures of mah dawg, whom I already miss.

Thinking about the Kennedy Center has stirred up thoughts of my violin teacher’s husband, NSO concertmaster William Steck.I was terrified to play in front of him, & never impressed him, but he was always kind & generous with his time. Here, so very young, playing Paganini youtu.be/lj0UcRsvAQ0?...

I am seeing a lot of posts about the Kennedy Center. It is a place near to my heart.I began playing the violin at 4 and my teacher was married to William Steck, the concertmaster of the National Symphony Orchestra. I saw so many brilliant moments there—from Mr. Steck to Rostropovich to Zuckerman 1/2

I just saw a picture of Lily’s son. He is beautiful and I can see so much of her in him. 💗💗💗

It really hurts to board Lily. I feel her next to me like a ghost. The kennel tells me she needs anti-anxiety meds. Like mother, like daughter. 😭

Sweet baby velvet angel face brings so much joy to my world. Even going to bed is a moment to celebrate—it means a shared sleep experience and the promise of tomorrow.

Close up of the face of a golden cocker spaniel who is lying on a green comforter. She has white freckles on her black, heart-shaped nose. Her eyes look sleepy and are on their way to sleep. Her right ear drapes her face. All of her looks like velvet that begs to be touched.

Every walk I wonder what would happen if I only had 1 waste bag but needed 2. You'd think I'd be proactive. But no. Today, for the 1st time, Lily offered a 2nd, & soft 🤢, gift. It took so much plastic origami to get the single waste bag around the yogurt & get home without getting covered in shit.

I just woke up with Lily in my arms thinking she was Benny, my cocker who died six years. All night I thought she was Benny. It was sweet of him to visit. 🌈 🩵

Prickly skin and up nearly all night, only needing two hours of sleep to wake up feeling electric. It’s a harbinger of Very Bad Things, but now I can spot signs early (prickly skin—who knew?!). And now I have Lily to ground me and help take care of me while I take care of her. 🥹Doggie tax:

This was a beautiful, meaningful day. It began with voter registration and continued with a community discussion about emerging law enforcement technology and data centers. It is good to find my people. I have a community. And the best part of my day is always waiting for me at home. I’m not alone.🩵

Tomorrow I am taking 6 naturalized U.S. citizens to get registered to vote in Texas. They saw the signs I have for @jamestalarico.bsky.social & @ginafortexas.bsky.social & stopped me outside of my house to say they & their family are no longer intimidated to vote. Texans, let’s do this thing. #gotv

Lily gets excited every time I put on a bra. 1) Does it mean I’m leaving and she’ll get treats?; 2) Does it mean we’re leaving and she’ll get walkies and/or a car ride?; but never 3) Mummy could use the support. See also: shoes.

“Mother, I am naught but skin and bones.”

A golden cocker spaniel sits on a blue and orange patterned rug. She has just zoomed around the living room and now looks up mournfully in an effort to con her way into a treat. The Look works 70% of the time.

Yes, you’re a very good girl, such a sweet good little girl, oh the bestest little girl gets the treats, oh yes she gets all of the treats, oh you are the very bestest, you get all of the, all of the treats

An impossibly adorable golden cocker spaniel sits on a beige carpet. Her groom is completely floofy and her sweet ears hang to her shoulders. (Do dogs have shoulders?) The urge to feed her frozen liver and to speak to her in baby talk is irresistible.

The desire to smoke a cigarette is only outweighed by the desire to drink a banana milkshake which is only outweighed by the desire to fit into a new dress. Drives are kept in check. (O, do I miss cigarettes)

Little does she know that in 10 minutes she’ll be subject to a violative expression. Keep on smiling, baby. Your time is coming. 😭

When I spoke with my mom today she asked if I lit the Dolly Parton candle that Santa gave me a couple of Christmases ago. I haven’t and won’t, and I do love looking at it.

A tall, glass-encased candle with a colorful depiction of the Sacred Heart of Dolly, through which the Divine channels eternal love for mankind.

Last night I called the cops for a mental health wellness check on someone I know from a group.Today she is furious & said she’d rather be dead than suffer the embarrassment of having to explain cops to her neighbors.I did the right thing.Her actions have consequences & are out of my control.Still.

I’ve lost around 60 pounds in the last 1.5 years and have about 45 left to go until I’m pre-pandemic. It’s taken a lot of work to get here, and damn did it feel good today to slide into corduroy pants that hug my ass, and to fill sweaters that don’t strain. 45 lbs left, and tonight all is well.
