I’ve never understood it.
Why anyone would complain when they realize just from the smell that there’s a Cinnabon in the vicinity.
It’s the best aroma in the world, isn’t it?
Well, isn’t it?
If you say no, you’re unfortunately wrong.
Sorry.
(heehee)

“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.” ~ Thumper
But it doesn’t stop there, does it?
I often find myself holding my tongue so I don’t upset others, not because their sweater is ugly, but because I don’t want to bother them with what I’m going through. After all, everyone has problems. Why should I add to theirs by complaining about my own stuff?
So the words are left unspoken.
Though I might be doing them a favour by telling them to stop wearing that sweater…

This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “consistency,” is brought to us by Warren. Check out his blog here!
Does consistency lead to routine or does routine lead to consistency?
Kind of a chicken and an egg sort of question.
One part of my routine that I count on is drinking coffee. (That might actually be a habit, but let’s not get into those for the time being.)
To drink coffee, I have to first make it. And I’ve decided of late that I’m really tired of having to make coffee.
Like, I get weary just thinking about having to fill the coffeemaker with water, throw out the old filter, wash the basket, wash the pot, put in a new filter, add the coffee … You see how boring it is?
But if I want coffee …
That’s it! I need a maid!
But first I have to consistently earn money.
Damn it!
*makes boring coffee myself*
It’s such a daily grind. (Pun intended.)

I could write an entire book about “decision fatigue,” but I can’t decide if that’s the book I want to write next.
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure.
Here are the simple JusJoJan Rules:
1. Just Jot It January starts January 1st, but it’s never too late to join in! Here, we run on the honour system; the “jot it” part of JusJoJan means that anything you jot down, anywhere (it doesn’t have to be a post, it can even be a grocery list), counts as a “jot.” If it makes it to your blog that day, great! If it waits a week to get from a sticky note to your screen, no problem!
2. I’ll post prompts at 2am my time (GMT -5). The prompt will be the word in quotation marks in the title of my 2am post. You don’t have to follow the prompt every day, but that will be where you leave your link for others to see. You’ll get a prompt for every day except Wednesday, when the prompt is simply my One-Liner Wednesday and on Saturday, when your prompt will be the Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS, which will appear at about 9:30am Friday. Each prompt post will include the rules.
2 a) The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!

3. Please ping back or link to the daily prompt. To ping back, just copy the URL from the daily prompt post, and paste it anywhere in your post. Check to make sure your link shows up where you want it to, and go back occasionally to see other bloggers’ entries – the more you visit others, the more they’ll visit you! Note: A) The newest pingbacks will be at the top of the comments section. B) Ping backs only work if you’re blogging on WordPress. Everyone else must paste a link manually.
4. Tag your post JusJoJan26 and/or #JusJoJan26.
5. Write anything! Any length will do! It can even be a photo or a drawing – you’re going to title it, right? There’s your jot!
6. The prompts will appear every day that’s neither a Wednesday nor a Saturday–Saturday’s JusJoJan prompt will be Stream of Consciousness Saturday. You’ll find the list of prompts below as they come in, which means I’ll be updating this post. Remember, you don’t have to use the prompts. Please write whatever inspires you. NOTE: If your post is NSFW, do not ping back. Please leave your link in the comments with a warning.
7. If you’d like to, use the JusJoJan badge so that others can find your post more easily.
Swollen lymph nodes: they can be such a pain in the neck.

Alex wanted to read my text messages on my phone but I didn’t want him to, so I hid the phone and told him the raw chicken in the fridge stole it. Then I showed him this:
He laughed ’til he cried.

I think we should just do away with the calendar altogether. Then we’ll never get older because we’ll never have another birthday. How does that sound?

Today, my son came into the kitchen where I was making my salad and screamed, “Mrs. Ahhhh!!!” That is now what I want everyone to call me when they see me.
