Friday is here and, as always, so is your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Is 2020 over yet? Please tell me it’s over … Here’s your prompt for this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “opt.” Use it as a word or find a word with “opt” in it and base your post on that. Have fun!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here to this week’s prompt page and check to make sure it’s here in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!
To make your post more visible, use our beautiful SoCS badge! Just paste it in your Saturday post so people browsing the reader will immediately know your post is stream of consciousness and/or pin it as a widget to your site to show you’re a participant. Wear it with pride!!
1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing (typos can be fixed), and minimal planning on what youâre going to write.
2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence â one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry â it doesnât matter. Just let the words carry you along until youâre ready to stop.
3. I will post the prompt here on my blog every Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, I will not say âWrite about dogsâ; the prompt will be more like, âMake your first sentence a question,â âBegin with the word âThe,â” or will simply be a single word to get you started.
4. Ping back! Itâs important, so that I and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of this post into yours. Your link will show up in my comments for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top. NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If youâre self-hosted or are participating from another host, such as Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
5. Read at least one other personâs blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read all of them! If youâre the first person to link back, you can check back later or go to the previous week by following my category, âStream of Consciousness Saturday,â which youâll find below the âLikeâ button on my post.
6. Copy and paste the rules (if youâd like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers youâll meet and the bigger your community will get!
7. As a suggestion, tag your post “SoCS” and/or “#SoCS” for more exposure and more views.
At first, I saw this sunlight through the leaves on my wall and thought, isn’t that nice. A heart.
But the more I look at it, the more I think it’s actually a set of fake vampire teeth giving me the finger.
What do you think?

Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so thereâs no need to stick to the same âtheme.â
The rules that Iâve made for myself (but donât always follow) for âOne-Liner Wednesdayâ are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.

4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
The last thing I put in my fridge: my son’s heart medication.
Since he turned twenty, Alex has decided he wants to be more independent. Which, of course, makes sense for a twenty-year-old.
He’s been washing my dishes, and he’s kinda getting good at it. I only have to re-wash half of them. He’s been getting his own tube feeds ready, and he’s even been making my coffee at night so I can just come downstairs and turn it on in the morning. It’s quite lovely, actually.
But he also wants to draw his own meds up into the syringes, and I won’t let him. Which makes him disappointed.
Because the fact is, he has not much aptitude for measurements. I watched him make my coffee tonight, insisted on being there, and sure enough, he lost count on his way to four scoops. He insisted that since he lost count, he should start again–without taking out what he’d already put in. I might have ended up with coffee I could stand my spoon up in.
Do I trust he’ll do the same with his heart medication? Absolutely. His independence is an overdose waiting to happen.
So if I come back online one of these mornings with my hair standing on end, it might just be the supercharged java.
Seriously thinking about getting a safe for my fridge, though. To put his heart meds in.
*double-checks calendar*Â Yep! It’s Friday, and I’m here with your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Having one of those “what-day-is-it-anyway days today. I can’t wait for Alex to go back to school! Here’s your prompt for this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “the last thing you put in your fridge.” Start your post with the last thing you put in your fridge. Let your mind wander from there. Enjoy!

Last week I walked around the block with Alex, half of it with a leaf stuck to my shoe. He wanted me to take it off–he insisted I take it off–he needed me to take it off, but I told him I wanted to keep it until I got home. It was my autumn decoration.
What is life if you can’t torture your kids?

The trick to remembering stuff is journaling. At least in my experience. Often I’ll do something or something will happen and I think, that rings a bell. I’m glad I have my blog for most of that.
Speaking of my blog, I haven’t been around much. To be honest, for the last couple of weeks it has hurt too much to do any extra typing. So I’ve had to finally live up to a sad fact.
I’m human.
And sometimes I just have to take care of myself.
So I’ve missed the last two weeks of my own prompts. I did manage to get the words in from those two weeks into this post already. Did you notice?
Everything is just a little overwhelming at the moment. No one thing is pushing me over the edge, just a lot of little things are pushing me over the edge.
Imagine an army of tiny mice shoving me towards a cliff.
That’s me.
And tiny mice.
So the cortisone shot went well. My shoulder’s not perfect, and I still can’t sleep, but it’s better.
Hello, Friday! And hello, you! I’m here with your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. It’s getting harder and harder to find prompts that aren’t repeats, so I’m doing it again this week. Again, it’s been five and a half years since you’ve had this prompt, so you might not remember what you wrote. Resist the temptation to look it up! I promise to try to do better next week. Here’s your prompt for this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ring.” Use it as a noun, a verb, an adverb, or an adjective…use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

The human brain is amazing: I’ve gone from “coffee hurts because it gives me heartburn” to “heartburn is comforting because it means I have my coffee.”
Also, it’s fall! And I went for a walk down by the waterfront today.
