Your prompt for JusJoJan January 2nd, 2025 is “slingshot.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

My latest binge since the Christmas day special has been Doctor Who. After watching all the specials on Disney+, I meandered to Max. I started with my favorite Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, jumped to the next in my theme, the first of Peter Capaldi with the Tyrannosaurus in London. From there on it’s been a steady binge. Great for background noise as I work on journaling about the past year and future year as we seemingly slingshot around the sun again.

Just to spark intuition and creativity I’ve pulled out Tarot cards or inspirational cards. I’m getting ready to order those writing dice to get the ideas flowing.

Mostly, I can’t wait for this sci-fi couple of weeks with far too many three day weekends and Mondays. For those not following the way my brain works this is how it looked to me:

Saturday, Sunday, Monday

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Monday. Friday was a leftover

Then Saturday, Sunday, and another Monday

New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Monday (I know! Thursday!) and another left over Friday.

And look! as if flung from that slingshot another weekend and Monday!

I miss my routine. And boring ordinary weeks.
