Hello there! Reflections time for the A to Z challenge of 2024. For those of you just wandering in who aren’t participants or need a refresher. A to Z is a one month long where each letter of the alphabet is a writing prompt for the day. Sundays aren’t used so at the end you have written something 6 days a week for a month.
This has been my, I think, 12th year. Last year I didn’t participate because of my Mom’s passing and being one month into a Bell’s Palsy affliction. I wasn’t in the mood, and I couldn’t see properly even if I was. A few days before the start of April this year I went looking for the sign up hoping I still could be on the Master list where other participants can visit you and luckily it was still open, and here we are.
I did enjoy my time this year, it was nice to get back into the swing of things. I still had some difficulties with my vision since the Bells has turned into Synkinesis which is more frustrating in my opinion. Here we are though tip tap typing away.
To all who visited thanks, to those who wrote thanks, to those who did neither Thanks… everyone gets a thank you today just for being you.
A to Z, last poetry,
Last in line, the letter “Z”.
Challenge complete, with a zany air,
A final flourish .
Zestful Z, you’re poetry.
I know there is a wrap up usually anyone know what day that is ? Thank you one and all for coming by this year. I have added a calender even to come in here once a week this year and do something instead of paying for a website I don’t utilize. I wish you all the very very best. Now I have two days worth of postings to go through.. well a day and a half.
Today on A to Z 2024 Challenge we bring you the letter “Y”, as in why didn’t I do this, that and the other thing yesterday, or last week, month year… WHY!
I am sure we all have our reasons, some might even be good reasons, valid reasons. I woke up this morning thinking of things I had to do today and immediately throwing roadblocks in my own way. Do you do this? Then my rational mind kicks in and goes back thinking about if I had quit smoking 10 years ago instead of 3 maybe I wouldn’t need surgery. Is my waking up to I need to try and fix that light switch today as critical as smoking, no but it’s much more common. The switch, the outside light, vacuuming, laundry. Why don’t I do that. The Switch and outside light I have been attempting to do the Switch for a week, the outside light for months. They are beyond my abilities it seems. My brain doesn’t process the information on the instructions, so I watch videos. When it doesn’t work I get frustrated and upset and then spiral. Then I try again (except that light I called someone still doesn’t work). I’ll try the switch again today though GFCI combo for the bathroom i can’t get it, light works outlet doesn’t.
Anyhow… 🙂 Why Didn’t I do this yesterday… I was sitting at my desk; I was on my computer… and yet here I am a day late. Well, seems I remembered to and then put it off while I did something else and THEN, I forgot 🙂 Truth is though, in many cases I talk myself out of doing it later after I do something else or check something or watch a video about it or , or , or , or … That thing you are putting off… go do it.
Have a great day!
Yep, every year, this one and aq few others but mostly this one. The letter “X” bad on the A to Z challenge and Bad in Scrabble. Welp here is a few words. I know since I’m behind this year, no one got to use my list but… maybe next year or maybe someone else is behind 🙂
OH OH!!! I caught up… I am not as far behind as I though, I figured it was the end of the week so I was having to go through “Z” but NOPE!!! Only a little behind, Oh I am soooo happpy!!!! Almsot happy enough to try and do a better “X” one. Lemme think.
Xenomorphs scare me,
Made me stop eating Spaghetti,
Chest bursters OH NO!
There ya go 🙂 Plus yesterday was yesterday Alien Day 2024! annual occasion for all xenomorph fans from way back on May 25, 1979 to create one of the most frightening cinematic universes in Hollywood history.
