The Wheels On The Bus Go Round, School Begins #Blaugust

The school busses were out and running this morning, a sign of students returning to the classroom. On Facebook, I have seen many of my friend’s children in their first-day-of-class pictures. Back in my day the kids used to go back after Labor Day (in America). Now they go back in early August. I am hoping those kids will have a great year in the classroom and beyond. May they also be safe and secure. Let’s hope the lessons they learn this year will make the world a better place for themselves and for everyone. Do a good job kids.

The Most Important Thing To Carry – #Blaugust2024

Daily writing prompt
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?

I think there are actually two things you should carry with you at all times. Your wallet and your phone. In today’s world, you really need both of them. Phones are essential for connection, commerce, entertainment, and information at your fingertips. Wallets are a way to carry money, various cards, and your driver’s license. I think one day you will only need your phone for all of that but we aren’t there just quite yet.

Chilling Out – My First Blaugust 2024 Post

Chilling out is important. After a full week of work, it’s good to relax. For me, it’s hard to do. In the back of my mind, I think I am just being lazy and I think there is something that needs to be done. I also have this anxiety that someone is going to call and beg for my help.

As I have said I have to work at setting boundaries and saying no. It is important to reclaim my time for myself instead of giving myself away. Sure, it’s nice to be needed but I don’t want to be needed so much at this stage in my life.

So as I write this, I am having some fun and enjoying the time to do stuff I want to do. Perhaps I should matter more to me.

This post is a part of the Blaugust 2024 blogging festival.

My Go-To Comfort Foods

Daily writing prompt
What’s your go-to comfort food?

Comfort food is important on tough days. Here I will answer this question by the three meals I have daily.

Breakfast – I love oatmeal during the week. On weekends I enjoy cooking pancakes/waffles. Also, a cinnamon roll can be good.

Lunch – I am a kid when it comes to lunch where I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with corn chips. I also enjoy tuna fish and Reuben sandwiches when I need something more substantial.

Dinner – A loaded baked potato with pulled pork is good. Sesame chicken is something I enjoy anytime but especially on tough days. I also like a big plate of spaghetti. If it has meatballs then it is even better.

When days are tough I enjoy a snack of an oatmeal raisin cookie and a soda.

Hey There Good People It’s Friday!!!

Hey friends, it’s Friday. Let’s finish this strange week the best we can. Make it a great day. Peace, love, and fun to you all as we head into the weekend.

A Short Political Note

By Monday, I think we will see that President Biden will step aside to allow someone to take the torch to run for president. It is my hope that Kamala Harris will be the chosen one to do it and her Vice-President will be someone who is also ready to lead. If I am wrong I am OK with that. It is being realistic and pragmatic to act now. Loyalty to the country should come ahead of loyalty to a party or person. Too much is at stake.
