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.

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

Daily writing prompt
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.
