Daily writing prompt
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.
Playing the lottery.
Now gimme all the money!
Screw working, ugh.
Now, on a not so โwinningโ matter, Iโve been trying to just go about my business, the doom and gloom of the news isnโt something that I allow to rule my life too much. Iโve been intent not to blog a lot about this stupid storm.
Unless itโs to show some amazing wild Sky weather.
A bit of ignorance is bliss.
Iโve lived here my entire life, let me know when itโs actually coming and Iโll get a few things together.
I used to have coworkers ask me why I was so calm, butโฆIโm not going anywhere. Thatโs that.
What I am pretty freaking annoyed about is the store shelves:
I really hate people, sometimes.
Happy Hump Day! ๐ฅ

Living without the burden of work and financial worries is a dream for many, definitely for us. Ideally, I would love to get paid for writing or sell enough books to support myself and my family as well as help my closest friends.
The chaos of people and the overstocking of groceries is truly madness. Get The Essentials People !!!
Above all, I hope and Pray for your safety. Iโm in constant touch with most of my family who live in Tampa. May the Lordโs protection be with everyone during this hurricane.
