State of Mind — JusJoJan

Dan Antion
1 minute

I don’t normally post on Tuesdays, and I had given up trying to post every day, but today is different. Today, the prompt for Linda G. Hill’s Just Jot it January challenge is Confusion, and it was offered by me. So, I figured I should show up. And I am confused, but that’s OK. It’s still a jot, so it works.

    I’m even more confused than you, Dan. Now I don’t know what day it is!

    Confused? Me? Let’s see….. got up and started my day as usual, except it wasn’t as usual. It was 5 am, not 6 am!

    Good thing I’m not doing any brain surgery today!

      5:00 am? Ginger. Fix that clock. I think we should all take it easy today.

    I might have to revisit this later to see how many others comment about confusion. I think you tapped into a deep vein! Good one!

        YES, the pellet stove insert banged around. I truly thought a vehicle had slammed into the house or a tree had fallen on it, but looked out all the windows to see nothing. It lasted what seemed like several seconds. I was glad there was no damage, but it sure was weird.

          We’ve had two here, and it is a very strange feeling. One, many years ago, moved the foundation piers of our front porch. I finally did some repairs two years ago to put things back in place.

      That works, Liz. Although it brings a Led Zeppelin song to mind.
