One-Liner Wednesday – Sounds like the start of a Dickens novel

I can’t sleep with the fan on, I can’t sleep with the fan off.

Okay, maybe it was just the worst of times.

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, 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!

What Day is it Anyway? #SoCS Edition Saturday, July 4th, 2020

Today has been less of a day and more of an ordeal. Just getting through the heat.

I can’t brain.

Decisions all went out the window. Or would have if I’d opened them.

All the toss-ups in my life feel life and death.

Like what I was going to have for dinner. (I managed a microwaved TV dinner.)

Cookies or crackers?

Water or … water? (There’s nothing else to drink except tea and coffee. And I don’t do cold tea and coffee. Bleh.)

Half my problem all day has been lack of sleep. I turned out my light last night after 2am and tossed and turned for about an hour. Woke up at 5:55 and thought, I can go back to sleep or I can go out for a walk with Alex. Because we both need the exercise, we went for a walk. I put in 5K steps before 7am. On three hours of sleep.

My bedroom, where I work, was 90 F all day.

I still can’t brain.

Bleh.

P.S. Hope everyone south of the border had a happy 4th of July!
