I’m back on the treadmill and stationary bike exercise times. Yay!

Anyone else have a hard time getting pen to paper or, even blog. I don’t have the strength or whatever to pull out the popcorn thoughts bouncing around since the 28th of January.
Naming it popcorn makes it sound pleasant. And yes, many memories are joyful. But there are deep, sad, angry, hurtful, and emotional vomit.
But all the words won’t hold still. My cursive writes too slow and messy as words don’t spell check or suggest the right words.
And it seems typing it out on the computer or phone is too personal.
Any suggestions to provide a verbal laxative?
This One-Liner Wednesday is from Linda G. Hill.
Not a financial success, but a win all the same.
(My first filled journal! My piano practice journal started October 2024)
Milo wants to go to sleep. Oops, I forgot to post.
I know it seems silly. But I believe this movie contains the secrets of life. I think of it often even when it isn’t the second of February. It is the reason I keep this blog. To keep myself aware of what I can do. What can I improve? If I had forever to try, what do I want to learn. My goals aren’t the reason it’s the process.
It took hours to find a somewhat funny, funny. Cute, though. Thanks Sandra Boynton
The first thing this morning, before I saw the prompt, my husband came into the room grabbed this and started on an itch in the middle of his back. I should have snapped that picture, oh, well.
Our bingeing Saturday began with Jurassic Park 2 and 3. That gave me the chance to scratch my language itch. I did a few units of Latin. I like oft-watched shows while I learn. Who hasn’t memorized our dino shows?
Latin was my first language class of high school. Mrs. Young set us up with ‘A’s and if we turned in our homework every day we’d end with an ‘A’. She was so informative with the arts and sciences of ancient Rome
The text book from the class had interesting and fun stories to translate.
Recently, a word came up on Duolingo, ‘laetus’. I remembered the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper. Translating that story had been so much fun, with cartoons in my head.
A while ago I picked this textbook up at a second hand-store or used book store.
So far it isn’t as fun as my old textbook, but it is filling in cracks of information that Duo doesn’t supply.
We moved to our Will Trent binge.
Newer stuff means I work less intensely. I started on Italian as it isn’t as hard. It is fun for me. It scratches that linguaphile itch.
Today’s prompt is brought to us by Tessa K. Thank you, Tessa K.! Please be sure to visit Tessa K.’s blog to read her posts and say hello. And follow her while you’re there if you’re not already.
Cinnamon was the name of a fuzzy pet. I couldn’t remember what mammal he was. I read the book when I was 5th or 6th grade, during my horse book binge. I mentioned it to my friend Y today. She remembered a book about a horse. My intent was to make this a book review. But I couldn’t find the book anywhere. There were a lot of books about cinnamon and pets by that name but the book I pictured I couldn’t find. Maybe I didn’t do proper search words.
So I have to switch methods.
Cinnamon is a spice that has health benefits. Here’s a couple of ways I use it.
Sorry for the lack of imagination. But the tea was lovely.
This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “prompt,” is brought to us by Cheryl. Check out her blog here!
Despite the personal challenges of this month that this Just Jot it January has been, if not fun, at least a challenge to write something when I wanted to shut down and crawl into bed. Instead, the prompts of the day made me write a bit and started journaling subjects to handwrite ideas or emotions that needed a place to express.
Thank you, Cheryl, for the prompt. And Linda for the prompts.
My heart aches for my adult children who lost their father today. We will miss him.
One-Liner Wednesday and Just Jot it January are Linda’s prompts.
