See the same description as the other pic! Only this time she's actively walking, followed by a super cute kitty who is blurry but appears to be gray or tan?

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful professor. I learned so much from you, but most importantly, I learned honesty and dignity in writing, as well as confidence in my work. I used what I learned from you to write an admission essay for the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, and I got accepted.
I posted about this a while ago and then let all the things drop in the midst of <life>. Do you need a cat or dog sitter in June or July? (Maybe August?) Preferably at least 45 min away from DC (but I'm open-ish to closer). Needs to be east of the Mississippi so I can get there relatively cheaply! Last-minute panicking? Maybe I'm your girl! I'll take half your normal pet sitter or kennel fee and, hopefully, get a big old round of novel revisions done. HMU! <3
First two stanzas of Triage: When my grandfather was dying in the hospital, a surgeon stuck a tube in his back, vacuumed out the extra fluid in his lungs, laughed with the nurse about golf and football while my grandfather screamed, then sobbed, then breathed in crackling gusts like dry branches catching fire. The surgeon followed me into the hall, pulled down his mask and said Your grandfather is overreacting about the pain. I was overreacting about the pain. He was not going to be critiqued by somebody who’d never held a scalpel. It was not his fault an old man was dying loudly.

Me at a bookstore event. I am sitting in a yellow chair. My long brown hair is in a ponytail. I'm wearing a beige sweater. I am holding a mic and speaking into it either about my book or about some cosmic wrong that's been done. My other hand is raised above my head like a preacher. I look HIGHLY ANIMATED.
