Sue was so busy she decided to forget the schedule already set and just wing it. Every passing minute was a reminder to do something on the list. It was like a revolving Rolodex, never ending, showing missed out appointments and late time slots she couldn’t possibly fill. Finding herself as the store’s new assistant manager this week, Sue was simply overwhelmed. She began to think assistant meant servant, and the $.30 raise not worth it.

MLMM Monday Wordle #452
Here are this week’s questions:
1. Do you have a keepsake box (where you retain special cards, pictures, letters, things that are special to you)? I have a file folder and a very old box.
2. What has made you smile lately? Today I had the great grandma privilege of watching my grandson roll over, ready to crawl.
3. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Both. If the sun is shining, I’m ready to get up. I often stay up late.
4. Do you prefer to be hosts or guests at a dinner party or family event? I used to host many family gatherings and loved it. The last years I have only done it a couple of times. I seem to be shrinking into the chair, so preparing things is difficult.
Gratitude: I am very grateful and happy the family will be together this Thanksgiving. I wish you all a happy day.🤗

What’s this mess on this plate
You call this a feast?
It looks more like a food plate
For a wild beast!
I prefer the more delicate version
Possibly a vegetarian dispersion
Where each separate vision
Can enlighten concision
And make a decision
With expert precision.

Monday Poetry Prompt: Feast
While she spent her day gift shopping
Her husband spent his bar hopping
Then happy was their bank
Had their spending to thank
For overdraft fees were whopping!

Laughing Along With A Limerick
A stiff stick with thorns is all that’s left of the beautiful blushing rose bush, a garden beauty. A wee chirping can be heard as a bluebird stops to rest on the bare branches. Coming out for a moment to the garden, I lazily fit myself in the Adirondack chair I painted pink to match the thistle plant. I love the Scottish symbol flower and never cut it down as many gardeners do. I consider it a summer treat to enjoy on warmer days.

Laundry Chores
Mom said, do as you’re told. Right away or the washing will mold. Turn the water dial to cold. Add the detergent, “Suds New and Old”. Then put in the dryer for the warm hold. Make sure there’s no wrinkles when you fold.

snow filled streaks
hazy mountain chills
fog obscures
–
mountains dressed in blues
cloud polka dot in the sky
foggy hems hidden
nature knows how to impress
her couture designs pleasing

SenHai Saturday #27
Where was the vision of compatriots
Men and women in congress slots
Where was their eye when they voted
What did they see or were wrongly devoted
Where was the vision of people in judge seats
Who ignored crimes done in repeat
Where were the thoughts of lazy minders
Asked to get votes or illegally “find them”
Where are the rules we visioned and fought for?

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Nov. 22, 2025
Joey loved his bonsai printed knapsack, not the envy of his mates. On the way to school, Joey admired a real bonsai plant, but saw it was too near a puddle, so rescued it. The tree rejoiced in his act.
