Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt 11-21-20

The current world crises are disease, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, fires, starvation, poverty, racism, and perpetuated hate for our fellow man perpetuated by our leaders. Shall we offer hopeful pleas, waiting for the ultimate answer/salvation from these disasters?

Is this a paradox, we as humans in a universe of unimagined possibility, now seemingly halted with adversity, are finding ourselves? Are “thoughts and prayers” as so often imparted from leaders’ lips the answer?

This prompt made me laugh, after of course I found out I would be refunded the 15 plus dollars I spent on salmon in my grocery order.

It was a large order and I’m pretty much set for a month or year, whatever it takes. I digress. . .by the time I got to unload the last bag, I could tell the salmon was yucky. It looked bad and smelled horrid! I am not a fish person and if it smells fishy, except for canned tuna, it is not fresh.

I double wrapped it in foil and put it in the freezer. I bet you’re thinking–well I don’t know what you’re thinking–like has she finally gone off the deep end?

It was dark already and I don’t go out in the apartment complex by myself in the dark, so couldn’t trash it=freezer option.

I called the store and they are refunding my money, had a laugh over how I wrapped and froze the smelly seafood, and were very cooperative. I may be counting my chickens?

Today my granddaughter who was a Starbucks barista in college, is coming over to show me how to use an espresso machine. It was a black friday impulse buy and I’m not sure if I’ll keep it.

Dominic bowed his head to hide his face. He was sorry it had come to this, but he knew it was his turn. He wasn’t happy about it, lord knows he wasn’t given a choice, it was his turn after all the others. Surrounded by his peer group of Trump followers, Dominic conceded they were defeated. He lit the match and burned the MAGA flag.
