Dinner.
1/3rd zucchini which wasn't enough, so I chopped that up and dumped in some chili beans with spicy sauce, stirfriend that.
Chopped up some tofu and half an onion, stirfried that.
Heated up some rice I still had in the freezer.
Awesome food.

"I know you love playing with your computer," she said, leaning on his shoulder, "but I need to tell you the house is on fire."
"Okay…" Pat typed a few more words, then looked at her, shock on his face. "You said _what_?"
"Good, now I have your attention, I can tell you I'm off for a job interview," Jody said, hugging him.

#WordWeavers 14May- What role do other writers have in your writing life?
They shaped me and my writing. My inspirations and shining examples are Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. Also Ray Bradbury made a huge impact on me with his book "Zen in the Art of Writing". I love that one.

"But... what *is* this shimmer thing?" Herb pointed at it.
Angelica frowned for a moment. "Nobody told you?"
"No. We've never seen anything like this before," Samantha said.
"No, I mean, nobody told you about me?" Angelica looked a bit worried.
"Nope. We suddenly saw your luggage in the street, and suddenly that was gone. Which is something weird too." Samantha hoped to get an explanation for that.

Throughout history,
it has been the inaction of those
who could have acted;
the indifference of those
who should have known better;
the silence of the voice of justice
when it mattered most;
that has made it possible
for evil to triumph.

6 Reasons Why Introverts Don’t Like Phone Calls
1. Phone calls are almost always interruptions.
2. Phone calls involve a lot of small talk.
3. Most phone calls could have been text
messages or emails.
4. Phone calls don’t give introverts lime to
think through their response.
5. Phone calls don’t allow introverts to observe
a person while talking to them.
6. Phone calls seem to drag on forever.
