What are your future travel plans?
Not answering this.
I received my jump rope yesterday (shout out to swissskip.ch). I need to shorten the length because I am short. It’s not easy skipping rope when you haven’t done it since you were ten, but I will accomplish my goal.
What would you change about modern society?
I’m not answering this. I’m taking the day off. There’s not enough room to write what I would change.
Here, look at what my hibiscus are doing. When I’m stressed or upset, I go outside and look at the flowers.
Expect lots of flowers.
Prior to my job instability situation, I made a hair salon appointment as a birthday present to myself. While I am technically not able to afford this, I will be starting my new job very soon and will then be able to afford it. 💇🏼♀️ It’s all good.
What’s your go-to comfort food?
Did you know they have edible cookie dough now? It’s true. There are no eggs in it, which makes it impossible for you to get salmonella. (But I like to live my life on the edge and I still eat raw cookie dough with eggs. I’m a rebel.) Technically, you’d have to eat the equivalent of six whole raw eggs to catch salmonella from cookie dough, and even I don’t have enough room in my stomach for that much dough. The best part of ready to eat cookie dough is you don’t have to make a batch of cookies to get it. You can bake some varieties of the new edible cookie dough, but why waste it?
Before you call me a heathen, I don’t eat it straight out of the package. I put non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt into a bowl with some frozen blueberries and strawberries, and then I had a few tiny circles of cookie dough. I need some kind of reward for eating Greek yogurt. The real inedible character in the story is the Greek yogurt, let’s be honest. 
Aside from a few tiny marble-sized cookie dough pieces in my Greek yogurt, I’ve cleaned up my diet in the past several weeks – well…as much as my budget allows. There’s a reason for that, so watch this space.
What is your favorite comfort food? 
What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?
My favorite game is the game of WordPress prompt vagary.
The song Wicked Game by Chris Issac is my second choice.
While I’m here, please watch this space for a new undertaking of mine. My last day with the agency is today, and I start my new job in the upcoming days. I have not had time nor inclination to write much, write well, or write at all. While I have not been motivated to write, I have been motivated to enjoy what is happening outside. I have even gotten back on the treadmill, which has for several years been a ghost town.
It’s been a time of tremendous change since March, most of which I didn’t ask for, but that’s life. We move on and we continue to move forward. Sometimes moving forward hangs a quick right, and we recalibrate. I hope you all will continue to give me grace as I navigate The New. Thanks, everyone.
This is my entry for Kevin‘s NTT 7/18/24 challenge
You have to say it like Elaine does
On Seinfeld
That’s how he got his name
His other claim to fame
Was dunking stale bagels in the birdbath
He doesn’t like to be told no
So now he follows me wherever I roam
Does Jerome
Outside, feeding the birds and the squirrels
I hear Jerome cawing
Above my head
At the local shopping center
He follows me there
He follows me here
He doesn’t seem to care
He’s my nemesis
And I’m OK with this
We shall never be friends
The grudge is permanent
Jerome has decided
This lady earned it
No sparkly objects will he ever give
To me or anyone that I know who will ever live
He will tell his children, and they will tell theirs
“That lady is mean
Don’t go near her
Don’t you dare
Of course we wouldn’t ever hurt her…
But remember boys and girls
Groups of crows are called murders”

What foods would you like to make?
Dogs or cats?
Get it correct, WordPress. Geez.
And you forgot birds, squirrels, bunnies, lightning bugs, toads…
Everyone is a candidate for the list, except mosquitoes and maggots. 
What bothers you and why?
Because
Back to your regularly scheduled Monday.
List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.
The earth is round.
The sun is hot.
Tears contain salt.
So do the oceans.
If we don’t drink water, we cease to live.
If we don’t eat food, we cease to live.
The only parts of the human body unable to get cancer are teeth and fingernails.
My back hurts.
WordPress needs new prompts.
“It's Amy,” I said.
