I had to check to make sure it was Saturday. Technically, it’s Sunday, but this is my Saturday prompt. Gotta suck it up.
I’ve been a bit checked out today. I poured my first cup of coffee this morning, put the rest of the milk from the bag (yes, I said bag) into my cup, but it wasn’t enough. So I opened another bag and topped it up … with chunky milk.
So I dumped that down the sink and poured myself a cup of black coffee. Which wouldn’t have been so bad had it not been for the heartburn I’ve been getting again.
I only got half a cup of coffee today. I usually have three.
So …
I went over to drop some stuff off to my mother at the home and forgot which home she was in. In my defense, she’s lived in three different homes this year so far. It was a nice drive around town.
I came home and had a nap. Something I never do.
And then I forgot what day it was.
But honestly, I’ve been a bit checked out for a week. I spend all my conscious, aware, alert time on editing. For the rest, I’m a vegetable.
A yummy piece of broccoli though, so it’s not too bad.

Linda all the indigestion and heartburn worries me. Have you had them check you out for gall bladder problems, ie gall stones, or an hyatus hernia, mine was missed for years (gall bladder) ending up nearly killing me and me wearing a cholecystectomy drain and bag for 7weeks so far? Have it checked out Linda 💜💜💜💜

I did! I got my three cups and haven’t got lost yet. Then again, I haven’t left the house today, so it’s not saying much.

I thought about Brussels sprouts after I wrote it, but it was too late. Stream of consciousness and all. I do love them, though. 😀
