Thanks to Natalie, the Explorer, for hosting this prompt.

Grab a chair and something to drink. If you were here, I would tell you that I am still adjusting to the assisted living facility. I know that eventually, I will adjust to it, and it will be less aggravating, but there are many people here now that I don’t like, and I do my best to not show my aggravation with them. I know it is bound to happen with such a large group living together. It bothers me when there is someone I can’t stand, and someone else says, ” Oh, she’s so sweet. I have to keep my mouth shut. I must live here, so I need to make the best of it.

Yesterday I got the Covid booster which is the second booster for the new variant and the flu shot as well. At least there are nurses here if I have a problem like I did with the last booster that landed me in the hospital, although they say it had nothing to do with the booster shot.

I am still writing the prompts, keeping up with them as much as possible, and even adding a new one now and then. I write better with prompts. I have my memoir, which I had written before, but it seems I didn’t so it write according to the editor who read it, so I am doing it again. Slowly though. I am not rushing through it this time.

I finally got the approval for the added miles to my pain management doctor. However, it is only good until they move back to the new office once the repairs are done, and then I will have to do it all over again.

They are trying to find extra activities for us to do. I don’t really care for much other than BINGO. I did try a few though, so my kids would stop bugging me to participate.

Have a great week, everyone.

#SoCS, Fiction, Prompt

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Oct. 22, 2022

**********

We searched the cabinets high and low for a large bowl for popcorn for the movie we were going to watch. It took a while before we found one and filled it up.

Linda’s Rules for #SoCS!

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “bowl.” Use it as a noun or a verb—use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here to this week’s prompt page and check to make sure it’s here in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!

To make your post more visible, use our beautiful SoCS badge! Just paste it in your Saturday post so people browsing the reader will immediately know your post is stream of consciousness and/or pin it as a widget to your site to show you’re a participant. Wear it with pride!!

2019-2020 SoCS Badge by Shelley! 
https://www.quaintrevival.com/

Here are the rules:

1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing (typos can be fixed), and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.

2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.

3. I will post the prompt here on my blog every Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a particular subject. For instance, I will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” “Begin with the word ‘The,’” or will simply be a single word to get you started.

4. Ping back! It’s important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours.  Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.

5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read all of them! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later or go to the previous week by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find below the “Like” button on my post.

6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!

7. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views.

8. Have fun!

#YDWordPrompt, Fiction, Prompt

Latent – One Daily Prompt

Rules for One Daily Prompt:

Use the word Latent in a story or poem, or sentence.

********************

I had a latent diagnosis of Diabetes before finally getting treated for it. Occasionally the doctor would bring it up, but it took him years before sending me for the test to see whether I did indeed have Diabetes. A lot of time was wasted on my diagnosis when they could have been treating it earlier.

The chairs were all set up in front of the large screen where they planned to show a Halloween movie. We all got rootbeer floats and popcorn and settled in to watch the movie.

Three Things Challenge #M123

Prompt Rules:

Welcome to my daily Three Things Challenge!
Our numbers now begin with a prefix of M (the Roman numeral for 1000) and I’ve introduced a theme each week. The words can be used in a variety of contexts, so use your imagination and see where your creativity takes you. Your post doesn’t have to be connected to the theme and you can use all three words, two or just one. There are no restrictions regarding length, style, or genre, but please keep it family friendly.
Tag your responses with 3TC, #threethingschallenge or TTC, and add my logo if you wish.

This week’s theme is another random selection.
Your final three words for this week are:
FRONT
SIDLE
REVERSE

*****************

This Way and That Way!

By Tessa Dean October 2022

As I walked through the dusty thrift shop I tried walking front ways and the sidled through sideways and finally I reversed and walked backwards to get out of there.
