Letter Inspired by the Writing Prompt “Currently”
Dear Day Sixteen,
You know how time flies? Well when you commit to do something EVERY.SINGLE.DAY then you’re like “it’s only day sixteen into the new year.” I have to do this how many more times?
Anyway, so I committed to posting a black & white photo on Instagram for the entire year. If it weren’t for the black and white part I think all of my pictures would be food like yesterday’s avocado toast. But food plates don’t look great unless they're in color.
Today’s post was easy, it’s my daddy’s birthday and I shared a photo of us.
I’m Currently… responding to a writing prompt
Reading - I finished Dear Wife by Kimberly Belle today. It’s been my listen to on the way to the gym book. It was very good. I had started two other books before this one that I need to get back to and start over - The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides and The Murmur of Bees by Sofia Segovia.
Planning - I’m not a future planner. I’m clean and organized and ready for tomorrow, but not great at planning. I am a short term planner and I’m a stickler for sticking to it. I know what I have planned for tomorrow and I will get my panties in a knot if something not planned interferes.
Stressing - I’m stressing about 350 more black and white instagram posts with words.
Wearing - It’s almost 10:00 pm and I’ve still got on real clothes. If I had on pjs I probably wouldn’t be writing this post. Soft clothes make me sleepy.
Watching - More than usual! Let’s see - I’m on Season Three, Episode 7 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Season Three, Episode Four of the Crown, and I’ve been watching Marvel Movies. I started from the beginning with the Avengers, I had to break to watch the first Galaxy of the Guardians and now I’m back to the Avengers. I enjoyed Infinity War much better than I did at the movies since dots were connected. I asked Christopher a question about something and he told me I should have watched Thor. I know all these stories essentially came from comic books, but I’m amazed how the movies are all connected. I’ll be watching Avengers Endgame this weekend with new eyes.
Listening - Currently silence, but I start my mornings with the radio and on the way to the gym I’m usually listening to an audiobook.
Eating - I went over my limit today, which happens when I stay up past my bedtime. I’d eaten a salad earlier, then later air fried cheese sticks with wine and that’s why the waist of my jeans after 10pm doesn’t feel so great.
Loving - this keychain bracelet that I made. I saw an instagram ad for a keychain bracelet and I said I needed something like that. I don’t often carry a purse, therefore when I’m out I’m holding my phone and wallet which has a wristlet. The phone goes in the back pocket if I have pockets or it’s in my hand if I need it for the grocery list. So now I’ll be wearing my keys, giving me a hand free - also quick access to unlock my car if the keys aren’t balled up in my hand. So anyway, from the Instagram ad, I went to Amazon, and looked at bunches of keychain wristlets, but none were perfect in terms of what color I’d like. So I made one.
9. Feeling - Sleeeeepy. I’m on my iPad. I’ll write from here, but I like to clean up and do the links from my computer because it’s quicker. It’s 10:24, am I going to make it? I have to post this today because I already said, it’s my daddy’s birthday.
10. Hoping - My hopes are prayers. I’m currently praying for things to turn around in our country. I’m currently praying for several of my friends who need it. If you would in your prayers, pray for “Kenya’s friends”, God will know where to send the healing.
That’s it, I completed all the verbs provided to go with the prompt! It’s 11:03 now - yikes.
