I’m so distracted this morning, I just tried to pour cream into my coffee without taking the lid off the cream container.
Or maybe I just need more coffee.
Yeah. That last one.
Anyway, that was my laugh for the day.

JusJoJan25 the 10th – Echoes of Past Posts
This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “echo,” comes to us courtesy of Dan. Check out his blog here!
I wonder sometimes if my posts are just echoes of posts I’ve already written. That I’m repeating myself.
I’m sure I do.
I’m slowly becoming one of those mums whose family rolls their eyes when I say at the dinner table, “I’m not sure if I’ve told you this …” and then proceed to tell a story they’ve heard a hundred times.
It’s the more friendly, more family and friend oriented version of “Get off my lawn!”
So yeah, I’m sure I’ve done it here. I have 3,772 posts on this blog, and only about 560 of them are Friday reminders for SoCS.
But you guys are like family, right?
You can put up with a bit of repetitiveness. ❤

Thanks again to Dan for the prompt!
What Day is it Anyway? Friday, July 8th, 2022
My day today so far—4:56pm:
I started off the week with having a Thursday appointment to look forward to. Something to count down to rather than a particularly good appointment. Just a marker for the time to go by. So I did pretty well all week with knowing what day of the week it was.
This morning?
I woke up with no clue. It took me a while to decide that it was Friday. So here I am with a What Day is it Anyway post.
The appointment was really something else. A routine dental cleaning for Alex. Why was it special? Mostly the three hour drive one way to get him there. The local hospitals won’t touch him with his heart condition, and neither will the regular dentists because he won’t stay still. So off to Ottawa we went. Preparation for something like this is huge. I had to get up and start his tube feed at 7am in order to get him to the hospital for a 1:45pm appointment.
So I did that and off we went. Nice drive (though of course it was expensive with the price of gas), and I listened to my audiobook all the way there.
Parked at the hospital, went inside, did all the COVID protocol stuff, sat down in the waiting room …
…and realized I’d forgotten to pick up and administer a dose of antibiotic so he can get his teeth cleaned.
So it was a nice six hour drive. Cost me $54 in gas, $13.50 for parking, and $33 for the chicken dinner I promised Alex if he behaved.
And his teeth are no more clean than they were at 7am yesterday morning.
Next available appointment? November 9th.
At least the audiobook—Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella—was good.
Join me?
If you’re like me and have no idea what day of the week it is, why don’t you write your own “What Day is it Anyway?” post? If you do, you can drop your link in the comments below.
You’re not alone!
One-Liner Wednesday, July 8th – That feeling when…
That feeling when you know you wrote down your fantastic idea for a one-liner but at 1am on Wednesday you go to look it up and it’s nowhere to be found so you end up writing a stupid one-liner that starts with “that feeling when…”
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. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
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!
