A Quick Look at My Life Currently

September Writing Challenge - Prompt #17:

Glimpse

Reading: 

I still can't read. I start books and forget I started them, and I never finish. I keep trying. It's part of my life I want back. I want to be a reader again! I don't know what has happened to my brain, but it just can't do it anymore. So I know I'll likely never finish this book, but if you ask me what I'm reading, this is the answer for now. 

Wearing: a Beatles shirt and cut off shorts. 

Annoyed by: everything. It doesn't take much to annoy me. This is one of my less flattering characteristics. 

Singing: "Que calor, que calor, que calor, que calor, que calo-o-or!"

(Also known as "Piragua" from In the Heights). 

Craving: a Baby Ruth.

Watching:

Buying: fall and Halloween decorations. I found a few things this week that I couldn't resist. Yes, I needed that ceramic ghost... and that "spooky" sign... and those candy corn candles.

Dreading: re-writing a post that I had finished, but for some reason, it didn't save.

Craving: a long nap on a cold, rainy day.

Celebrating: Nicky has been on his mission for over two months now!

Eating: half an Asiago Einstein bagel with onion and chive cream cheese (twas my breakfast).

Cooking: western omelette quiche (twill be my dinner).

Laughing about: the fact that if I call the quiche “quiche,” half my kids won’t eat it because they “don’t like quiche,” but if I call it “breakfast pie,” they eat it just fine. I’m pretty sure the same goes for Scotty. 

Suffering from: PMDD. Hits like clockwork every month. 

Proud of myself for: not stabbing anyone.

Missing: Vanilla Coke from the fountain.

Enjoying: playing Ark Nova on my phone.

Sick of: having so many places in our area where I have no cell phone service. 

Hoping: that the weather cools down soon. 

Wanting: to go on a trip. I need to get out of here.

Feeling: tired and yucky. I had a headache this morning, and then I got a little nauseous. I took ibuprofen and Zofran and gave it half an hour, and I started to feel much better.

Avoiding: AI. I’ve not yet had any good reason to use it, but everyone around me is constantly talking about it. I like my brain, and I still want to use it. 

Needing: to floss. I just finished lunch, and I have beef jerky stuck in my teeth. 

Grateful for: a husband who makes homemade beef jerky and then let’s me eat it all (it’s so good!)
