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.

Describing Me

Daily writing prompt
How would you describe yourself to someone?

Physically I am like a teddy bear. You could say fluffy and pudgy. Intellectually, I hope people would think I know stuff but not in an arrogant way. Spiritually I am a person in tune with my creator and all that. Emotionally I am stable with a little looney thrown in. I tend to be quieter than in years past, but I let my freak flag fly when appropriate. My personality is one of weirdness and I am an oddball. Very much a black sheep. Mentally I am the place where I think I can deal with stuff that comes my way. I am kind, compassionate, and sensitive too. People I think aren’t so sure about me. Strange, right?

Feedback welcome.

The Day That Was

Was today typical?

Today was ordinary. Get up, get ready, get out the door, get to work, get to go home. Yep, it was a typical day. Sometimes that is comforting. Sometimes it is monotony. It was just Tuesday.

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.

Bed Time

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Currently, bedtime is about 11:00 PM or so. I set the alarm for 5:50 AM but snooze until about 6:20 some days. On Saturdays, I normally sleep in and on Sunday we set the alarm for 7:30 to get up for church. It’s a routine that works for us.

Countries To Visit

What countries do you want to visit?

Travel opens the heart and mind. We are returning to Canada in September. We first visited in April 2019. I would like to see the UK, Ireland, Italy, Japan, and Scandinavian countries. Mexico would be fascinating as well.
