The seasonal "changing of the bears" has occurred! Lamb is out, pig is in, and they're all geared up for summer!

Looking for poems written by women who are dead that can be used in a wedding ceremony (so uplifting and about love). I've tried googling around but the two categories don't seem to cross very often as I can typically find wedding poems written by men or alive women, or love poems written by dead women that are typically NOT uplifting. I'd like it to be by someone dead because then I dont have to worry about them coming out and doing something awful and having that with me forever, and I typically just prefer things written by women.
No other context beyond it was under the house when they moved in
A year ago I started to read what I call "Girls Going Through It" books. I didnt want a quirky, not-like-other-girls main character. I just wanted your average woman, written by a woman, going through something. I've since started reading and collecting books in this category and my list as of now is:
The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath
My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Otessa Moshfegh
I Who Have Never Known Men, Jacqueline Harpman
Just Emilia, Jennifer Oko
Orlando, Virginia Woolf and/or Orlanda, Jacqueline Harpman
Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf
Westward Women, Alice Martin
The Correspondent, Virginia Evans
On the Calculation of Volume, Solvej Balle
The Natural Way of Things, Charlotte Wood
There Lives a Young Girl In Me Who Will Not Die, Tove Ditlevsen (poetry)
Patient, Female, Julie Schumacher (short stories)
What am I missing?
I get massages fairly regularly and I've recently been seeing someone who uses pretty intense pressure and loves to work out muscle knots. In some points this pressure is almost a sharp feeling, and it makes me feel uneasy almost similar to being tickled? And a slight bit of nausea, and then it goes away after about 5-10 seconds after she leaves the spot. Is this just too much pressure? The pressure is good elsewhere, just in some spots it happens, like I noticed it around the back side of my arm around my arm pit area. I also have fibromyalgia if that makes a difference.
Looking to host my moms 70th birthday party at a restaurant in the area for about 30 guests, but where guests can pay for their own food. Willing to drive up to 30 minutes outside WPB. Ideally enough space for everyone to walk around and chat with each other. Thanks!
Mr. Puppy (original vs 30 years of love and 2 bodies later, with one paw replaced by his tail)
Body 1: the original.
Body 2: some time ago my sister decided Mr Puppy REEKED and I walked in the kitchen to him being boiled on the stove. He lost his original fabric and one paw in the process. He gained a few pounds and had some god awful fabric body.
Body 3: my mom placed him in a tub on the porch in Florida for an unknown number of years and my stepmom took his moldy lifeless body and replaced him with some fabric more like the original
EDIT: wowowow thanks everyone for awards and everything!! I was just making a silly little post and I'm so glad so many of you connected with it. Hopefully this reminds you that whatever happens, your loved items can be a Frankenstein Ship of Theseus and still hold personal value to you. Mr Puppy has asked that I inform everyone that you are welcome to refer to him simply as "Puppy" as he prefers to be less formal
I like to change out my display and their outfits with the seasons/holidays. This is the late Spring crew!
My dad was turned into soil through Earth Funeral. He was NOT cremated so they arent ashes. I am trying to figure out if there is a company I can donate the soil to to be scattered in the redwoods or used for planting? I don't live nearby so it's difficult for me to do it myself. It seems like many of the tree planting organizations only take monetary donations. Any help is appreciated!
My dad spent his last few years collecting mostly patches of his time in the Navy and Airforce (Vietnam War era). Most if not all were not actually his but things he bought online. Now, we have no idea what to do with it. It's quite frankly overwhelming and I have no idea if its worth really anything. I have no information on the patches other than that he thought they were relevant to his time. Any feedback would be appreciated!
I think he may be a boy but I just got this pinafore dress I wanted to try out on him!! Also I just noticed he's got some wonky eyes but its fine looool
My companys IT sent out a fake phishing email where you needed to supposedly click the link to get a ticket for a free single chocolate chip cookie. My coworker clicked the link. Dude could've had a data breach for a little sweet treat
