One Liner Wednesday

I don’t understand all the texts I get from doctors from epic from hospitals to remind me over and over again, and I always have to write back to them that I have a calendar and I know. I get at least three reminders and have to check in repeatedly for appointments, etc. all of my information and all of the medication‘s that I’m taking do not change from one day to another. I finally just had to text back stop. And what’s up with these computers that control all this information and for some reason a human being cannot change that information . Mind-boggling 😵‍💫

This week’s questions arose following the funeral of my Aunt who celebrated her 100th birthday last June. They are not intended to offend or upset anyone, but please accept my apologies if they appear insensitive.

  1.  Do you have a bucket list? No
  2.  Cremation or burial? Cremation
  3.  Recognised service/celebration of life, or private gathering? None I hope
  4.  Flowers or donations?Gratitude:My Aunt was a lovely woman. She lived a long life and before her passing, there were five living generations in her family line, the same as with my Mum.
    I am grateful that so many people thought so highly of her and were able to pay their last respects on the 23rd
  5. ***

My gratitude this week is to my wound care nurse, Nicole, who visits me every day to insure I’m keeping healthy, etc. Nurses deserve way more credit than they are given.❤️

“That’s just beastly” Heather announced when she saw her little brother shoving sea stars into a bell jar. He had taken a sharp blade and cut off some of their arms to fit them in. Heather felt sick, and wondered how he could do such a thing and then remembered he had been watching some videos and was mimicking what he had seen. “Put that down and go sit up on those sand hills, you are done playing today!” Later on she saw him just gazing out to sea and thought she would try to soothe him by talking about what happened. Usually a timid boy, Heather decided to turn off his access to such video content, but explain why.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

Harry was one of those quiet talkers, almost mumbling as he began to comment about anything and would utter imaginative, often cruel words that no one never heard. If the crowd was large, Harry was delighted because the more people chatting, the more risqué his speech. Not many people knew of this character flaw, but there was one woman who had very clear hearing and would often suddenly laugh at Harry’s remarks. Crowd members would wonder what she thought was so funny. Naturally these two were not often invited to social gatherings.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!

The Sunday Whirl

***

The catastrophe started from a gift of apples, which she had been craving for over a week. The apples came in a box with instructions written on the top. You could only open the latch if you would sing a special song she learned as a child. It caused a sort of enchantment. There was no limit to her imagination, and she did miss the song. If she was chattering too much, her mother would sing this song and interrupt her. And some of the time that’s exactly what she wanted—for her mother to sing so she would chatter just to make this happen. The song was a sort of catalyst transporting the girl on wings to stretch her imagination. Her mother knew this would happen and on different days to see what her daughter would come up with, it might be a happy or a sad song.

Now grown, apparently her mother sent the box with the saddest song of all inside, her farewell. The young woman unlocked the box to hear her mother’s very last song, and collapsed. The neighbors heard her scream and came in to find the young woman on the floor surrounded by apples.
