HOW TO USE TICKETY-BOO IN A SENTENCE
I started a blog called Boo Cancer, You Suck as a safe place for me to process what I was going through.

I could call him my “boo,” but when I tried it out he rolled his eyes.

Here's the rules:
1) 100 words or 1 graphic.

It’s that easy.
There is no need for your work to all connect. There is no need for them to be in order.

If you are stuck or would like a random word to use, poke me and I will provide.

Charging into another week!

Hey everyone, it's my turn to talk to you about Monday in your neck of the woods! Of course, I was bad so it's actually Tuesday here, but it's lucky I'm in the first time-zone of the Earth as it lets me get away with the forgetfulness and then still squeak in on a Monday 'somewhere'! ;-)

How's your week starting out? What big plans do you have for the week? I have started Tuesday back in the office - the actual work office rather than my home office - for the first time in more than EIGHT MONTHS, and Covid has just recently wiped its nose there, so one manager is out with it and the other is isolating too as she was a close contact. Have to say it made it a good day to start as I have done very little other than clean and organise my desk, and then it was someone's leaving afternoon tea, and as I organised the collection for a gift, I got to stand in for the manager and said a brief few words (all hers, via email, so that helped!). Then I stuffed myself with muffin and orange, and came back to my desk for the only real bit of work - sending a couple of letters for someone still working from home (and I didn't even have to write them!), and now this! LOL. What a great first day back! Tomorrow might be harder as I need to get some actual work done, but I may just reorganise my credenza first - procrastination, much?

Don't forget all the usual prompts over the past week - you know what they are - scroll back and check them out, or check out the tags if it's a specific one you want to try! Don't forget there's a little less than a couple of weeks of Bingo left, either!

All you Big Buddy peeps, you should be around the 16% mark - how are you doing?

And this week's flash challenge is: "I shouldn't have eaten that last muffin!"

Now, onwards! I managed one banner last week, so even if I can't write words, maybe I can manage some icons or something this week! Wish me well on that front!

And let's be creative out there! ;-)

Daily Count to...

Welp, after writing a 5k chapter and a ficlet last week, my muse has pulled a Houdini since Sunday. I've gotten no words and no creations. Really hoping I can get something written this week. In the meantime, daily count to apachefirecat Good luck!
