Reena’s Exploration Challenge #209

Buffet unit, new TV , do we have enough money to buy all this at once? Are we being overambitious?

My toddler has been cranky, wonder if he is coming down with yet another infection from his childcare.

We have to start him on swimming lessons soon and plan his second birthday party.

I have a new procedure to do tomorrow at work, damn another suicide in our profession… Sigh why did I chose this career?

With all these thoughts whizzing through my head, I glanced at the clock, its 12pm already!! My Sunday is nearly over. I Still have to do meal preps and washing, weather has been so bad lately too.

Calm down, a voice in my brain resonates, with a flashing red light, brain has gone into overdrive.

I take a deep breath and close my eyes, slowly counting until ten. Sorting my…

Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Notable

the hush and echo
bounces off peeling walls
as steps taken add more tones

on entering a tunnel
filled with the notable remnants of the past
an appreciative glance escapes my face

spirit-filled adventures await
challenging me for more exploration
and invested imbibing

On entering the tunnel my heartbeat went into an overdrive

The boom boom echoed in my eardrums rendering me slightly deaf

Sweat drip from my pores as my claustrophobia takes charge

I don’t want to go forward but there’s no other option 


This is the only way………


The way to exit this maze of bewilderment 

This passage is narrow, obstructive, and limiting

My reluctant footsteps seek to find the desired destination 

I fight with my instinct to turn back and cede defeat 

But fight I must as this is the only way 


To find the light that resides at the end of the tunnel

“On entering a tunnel…..”

On entering a tunnel….. my head was flooded with all of these sexy thoughts about being able to grope her and maybe get some sloppy tongue-kisses, while we were alone in the dark.  I wondered if we would be able to do some dry-humping on slow-moving indoor boat ride.  I had never been on a romantic boat ride before, but I knew that the darkness would provide enough intimacy for us in this place where any public display of affection would be frowned upon.  I met her on Facebook where we were immediately drawn to each other and we arranged to meet at the State Fair, in front of the booth where she was showing her prize pig.  She had a 280-pound hog named Elmer who she put a lot of work into to get him entered for the Best in Show competition.

Her name was Alicia and she had…

Hello? Are you listening to me?
No?
I didn’t think so!
Brain, damn brain! What am I gonna do with you!
Coffee? You need coffee? Okaaay!
But wait…coffee is addictive! Did you know that?
Sure you did! You want me to stay up late, get little or no sleep, isnt that right, brain?
Now what? You cause my thoughts to race!
Stop it brain!
I hate racing thoughts! You know how much I hate them!
Is it time to eat? What do I eat? A sandwich, a fruit salad with yogurt?
Can’t make up my mind, brain, you won’t let me decide!
Time to read, what to read, so many books to choose from, my brain cant make its mind up which book sounds best to read at the moment! A christmas book? A true crime…

The spotlight focuses on

an ensemble of ideas, incomplete tasks and memories,

that take center stage without an invite,

blaring their discordant voices.

With a conscious effort, I scat them away one by one,

much to my dismay, a multitude of others pop up.

The plethora of thoughts vying for attention

reverberates to a cacophonic din, unsettling my sanity.

I wish I had a CLOSE ALL tab in my brain

to shut down and restart it again!
