A Day of Literary Landmarks

Good Morning!  On this day, Shakespeare died in 1616; it may have been his birthday, too.  Cervantes was born and died in 1616, and his date is the same as The Bard's.  James Joyce died on this day as well, and the dates for his life were the same for Virginia Woolf, who found him vulgar.  It is also the feast day of St. George, patron saint of England, from what I gather, important in Greece, important to me because of my Great -Uncle George, and my Uncle George.

It is Greek Orthodox Holy Week, and the week past Easter and Passover.  We have had terrible events, from the fire at Notre Dame, to the terror attacks in Siri Lanka, where my school friend and colleague, Wilfred J. and his family lived.

Safe and Healthy Week, and pickup a book by these literary greats, as would have Pym and Bronte, though not Joyce in Charlotte's case :)

Demonologie Domestic

Demonologie Domestic

Below is a work of fiction; any resemblance to any person living or dead  is purely coincidental.  Live with it.

Before I can have a cup of coffee, I have to weave through the maze of other people’s crumbs, coffee cups, wrinkled Kleenex and unfolded clothes.  I make trips go the garbage in my nighty; I feed the cats before I wash my face.

If I finish a cup of coffee, it’s a small miracle.  When did I become a slave to other people’s schedules?  When did I turn into a Martha a la The Handmaid’s Tale?  When did I cease to be important except as a drone and source of income?

I’m not a domestic goddess, or even an angel of the house.  In my hand, I hold a first class ticket to anywhere; I won’t disclose the information.  Once I clear the security check, I want to be nowhere to be found.
