Journal Entry Type #126: Short and Sweet!

03/20/2022

Writing

I’m still breathing although I’m still blowing my nose and coughing. Do yourself a favor and buy Mucinex Instasoothe throat lozenges (honey flavor is better than mint flavor). I continue to work like most of us around the world and try to enjoy the days off from work. I’m looking forward to moving although when

Flash Fiction: Birthday Gift

03/13/2022

Flash Fiction, Writing

You’re right. I could’ve used my own pen and paper. Me not sending her this could’ve stopped all the heartache Eleanor would experience on her birthday. I don’t blame her. She couldn’t have known my letter would send her into a tailspin but without an airplane. This unfortunate event happened twenty years from the day

Journal Entry Type #125: Nothing but Sickness

03/09/2022

Writing

You know when you make plans, big plans to you, and they fall through because the minute your three-day weekend starts, you feel sick. This led me to being cooped up in my bedroom, trying to sleep through my raging sore throat and massive headache with little appetite that all I could eat were popsicles

Journal Entry Type #124: Crisis Mode

02/27/2022

War, Writing

There’s a lot of stuff going on right now and by stuff, I mean, stuff that sends everything into a tailspin. The other day I saw a military helicopter flying at night toward or away from Nellis Airforce Base. It wasn’t that dark so I could see the outline of the loud helicopter. It got

Journal Entry Type #123: Never Grow Old, Never Get Sick of Watching

02/20/2022

Movie Recommendations, Writing

There’s a few go-to movies I watch when I’m doing other things or wanting to watch again for some reason. If they are on TV, I will pick one of them instead of watching any other movie unless it’s one I haven’t seen before or TV show. Here is my list of movies, so far,

Journal Entry Type #122: No More Excuses and A Lot of Double Standards

02/16/2022

Writing

Well, it’s another Wednesday. It’s been 10 days since I’ve written a blog. It’s fitting I should probably write something since WP charged me for another year of using their services, but not that I’ve been using it to the fullest. I’ve been doing a lot of things other than writing like watching James Bond

Flash Fiction: I Was Not the Puppet

02/06/2022

Flash Fiction, Writing

The way Maxwell went up the stairs was the way he went down. One at a time, almost tiptoeing to not make any sounds, to not wake anyone. The day I met him was the day that the sun never rose too far above the clouds. Half hidden behind their fluffiness; it didn’t stop me

Journal Entry Type #121: Nothing but New Things, I Guess

02/06/2022

Writing

There’s not much to report except I bought a few new stamps, puzzles, and started a new journal. There’s something unexpected that might be happening in my life when my lease runs out. I never thought it would be so soon, but it’s looking more promising than ever. I’m not 100% sure how to feel

Journal Entry Type #120: Here We Are

01/23/2022

Life, Writing

I have mixed emotions, feelings, and whatever else you describe as thoughts. It’s weird how the things you imagined you wanted 20 years ago are not the things that are actually important to you now. Well, some of them are although I would sure like more of a certain thing and less of another thing.

Journal Entry Type #119: You Are Not My Friend but No Need to be Rude

01/13/2022

Writing

This is going to be a random JET with as many topics I can squeeze into a 30-minute blog. I have to say, first of all, I wish I had done some things differently 20 years ago, and by this, I mean majoring in something else that would be useful today. My initial thought after

Short Story: Goodbye to You

01/09/2022

Short Stories, Writing

I was not ready to hear my own words. When the time came for me to utter them, to say goodbye in the most creative way, a part of me had one hell of a time saying even one of the words. I’m sure those near me were wondering what I had in my mouth

Journal Entry Type #119: One Week Under My Belt

01/09/2022

Writing

It’s officially 2022! Well, nine days into 2022 and soon to be 31 days into 2022. It will basically soon be February. I will need to start sending out birthday cards to my family. I don’t have much to say for lack of time and energy. I had great many things I wanted to do

Journal Entry Type #118: For Those I Would Love to Meet

01/04/2022

Writing

With Betty White passing just prior to turning 100 in January, here is a list of 10 people I would have loved to meet in person for those still alive and those already gone. I’m sure the list will change by the end of this year. I should do a comparison in December 2022. I
