DP Daily Prompts: Twenty-five seven

Good news— another hour has just been added to every 24–hour day(don’t ask us how.We have  powers ). How do you use these sixty minutes?

Lately I’m pretty slow in getting my work done. If another hour is added I’m elated I think my first priority is getting the two prompts done, it may take thirty minutes. I’d still have thirty minutes left.

I’m thinking how must I use the remaining thirty minutes. It will take five minutes to feed our kittens, five minutes to play with them.Now I’m left with twenty minutes.

I’d start cooking dinner , the preparation time is fifteen minutes, with the five minutes remaining I’ll turn on the computer and listen to my favorite Tagore song.

My extra hour will be taken care of I’d then take a nap for thirty minutes from my twenty four hours.

DP Daily Prompts: Ready,Set,Done

Our weekly free-write is back: take ten minutes– no pause–to write about anything–unfiltered and unedited.You can publish the post as-is or edit a bit first–your call.

It is 4.52 p.m. in my neck of the woods. I went out to run an errand. I had to wait for twenty minutes to the  place I intended to go.the bus took its time to show up I was freezing, it seems winter cannot  wait to show its face. Well the bus came i boarded it got off several stops later. Got my stuff, came to the stop to catch the bus to come home. Another twenty minutes it took for the bus to arrive.

I was on my way home, unfortunately I rang the bell one stop earlier, stayed in my seat and pull the string again for the stop, apologized to the bus driver for my mistake, came home and fed the kittens, they were glad to see me I think.

Now I am writing this, the time allowed is ten minutes only, oh I have two minutes left,the kittens are sleeping I am writing, still writing, I am nervous I do no know how many mistakes I made still writing, writing , done!

365 Writing Prompts: Super sensitive

If you were forced to give up one sense ,but gain super sensitivity in another, which sense would you choose.

The five senses are: Hear; See; Smell; Taste; Touch.

Let me analyze these senses and see which one can I sacrifice to gain super sensitivity in another.

I’ll start with “Hear”, this sense enlivens me, if I lose it I won’t enjoy all the amazing sounds that gives me joy and comfort, would I or can I forego this sense for some other super sense I’m afraid I cannot. It is too important.

Next is, “See” sense of sight,without it I’ll miss the color of the sky, an exquisite art work of famous artists; read my books piled up before me; watch the growth of my cute kittens; there are so many other things I’d miss, is it worth giving up this sense to gain super sensitivity in another, oh no never!

Smell is a necessity for me without it I won’t know if what I’m cooking is burning. I’d miss the fragrance of flowers; I won’t be able to get early warning if there is a fire in my house; the foul smell that the skunk gives off when threatened.

Taste is very important sense  to have, if we lose it we won’t be able to distinguish between good and bad taste, I cannot give this one either.

Touch is an important sense in our lives, it helps us  differentiate between soft and rough fabric; makes us aware of things that are too hot; show love and affection; how warm is our bath water to avoid burning our body.

These are the main reasons I am unable to decide which one of the senses I can give up,each one is different.

Raphael and Gabriel

About two months ago my daughter and I thought of adopting a kitten. We got in touch with  a breeder of kittens, she had informed us her kittens were ready to be adopted. We were excited,my daughter went to the house of the breeder and picked one she liked, it was a Sunday when our new kitten arrived, it was tiny and scared it hid under the covers was afraid to eat or use the litter, we were concerned there were very few things we could do to make the little kitten comfortable. I thought maybe we should get his brother from the breeder.

My daughter went right away to get one of his brothers. The change I saw in the kitten was remarkable, it was happier and was not afraid anymore. The brother however was a bit scared,it was another challenge we had to overcome but having his brother with us made things easier.

We named them Gabriel and Raphael, Gabriel has a mind of his own, he doesn’t let us touch him when he is not in a mood , but Raphael is very affectionate and friendly with anyone who visits us. We like him to be friendly but are a bit concerned if he is too friendly.

They are four months old and developing their own personality, which is nice to watch. The past week was too warm for the felines, they meowed a lot to tell us they were not comfortable we did our part we turned on the fans and opened the windows.

Today it is a cooler day, the kittens are delighted, they are sleeping.

Since there is no daily prompt for today I used the day to write about our gorgeous kittens!

DP Daily Prompt: Longing for Gravity

You are on a mission to Mars.Because of the length of the journey, you will never be able to return to Earth. What about our blue planet will you miss the most?

If the mission to Mars means I will never be back to our blue planet,what will I miss I will miss everything.

I will miss the green grass,colorful flowers, variety of trees, everything nature offers us, then there is my family, my friends, my blogger friends, I will miss reading amazing poems of my friends Leslie,Sonya and Ali. I will miss writing on my blog daily.

I’ll miss cooking my delicious dishes, the ones that wow my friends, where will I get to eat my daughters tasty cakes and cookies.

We’ve just adopted two Siamese kittens, they are a joy for us, I can’t imagine leaving them behind.

Then there are my favorite songs I enjoy listening every day.

My list is longer than this, I’ll miss them equally,I cannot just name one!

Writing Prompt: Feed Your Senses

Write down the first sight, sound, smell, and sensation you experienced on waking up today.Pick the one you’re most drawn to, and write.( for a bigger challenge write the one you’re least drawn to).

 

I was awakened by the harsh sound of the alarm at 4 am . I turned to make sure it was really 4 am ,unfortunately it was.  Reluctantly I left my cozy bed went straight to the bathroom ,washed myself and voila I was ready to say my morning prayer. Why so early you may think, this one has to be before sunrise. Where you live the sun may rise later but in my neck of the woods it’s earlier.

My morning prayer takes little over five minutes, but there is a prayer I say for my family members who are no longer with us, then there is my dear friend, and a few other relatives, I also pray for myself. By the time I’m done the clock strikes 4.41 am, still too early for breakfast I tell myself. I go back to bed and sleep some more.

This morning I woke up again before 8 am ,heard Raphael and Gabriel our two favorite kittens wrestling with each other on my way to the kitchen. I used the microwave to cook my breakfast, the sound of this alerted Rafa I was cooking something better than what we gave him and his brother.

He started meowing and running back and forth  to each door to get in ,but we were not going to give in, when his loud noise didn’t make any difference, he resumed his game of snatch and pull with his brother.

I can see the sun is shining brightly which is a rare sight, we do welcome the precious one whenever the clouds decide to let it shine.

Now I have almost finished reading the emails I got. 

 

I’ll publish this prompt and see what else I need to get done before I sit and watch the tennis match!

Writing Prompt : Unconventional love

Over the week end, we explored different ways to love.Today tell us about the most unconventional love in your life.

Two weeks ago we bought a Siamese Himalayan breed kitten. My daughter and I were very happy, the little kitten was very nervous, on the first day,it didn’t eat or drink,next day it hid under the quilt, it didn’t come out. Almost a week went by we couldn’t make it comfortable. 

My daughter and I decided to get its brother from the woman, as soon as it saw its brother, it’s whole temperament changed,it was no longer the shy scared kitten.

I love them,we named the first one Gabriel and his brother Raphael. Gabriel and Raphael are the most important members of our family.

Three weeks ago I didn’t think we’d ever get kittens. Today we have them and are very pleased.

Daily Prompt: Have You Never Been Mellow?

After a long day at work or school,what are your favorite ways to wind down and decompress?

 

My way of calming down is different I think. Now a days we are taking care of two beautiful kittens, one of them is naughty,I have to watch to make sure he doesn’t land in a place where he can be in trouble. It’s amazing how smart he is , I only have to say,”No Nelson”, he stops doing what he thinks I do not approve.

I also listen to my favorite songs which helps me to wind down, I write,read my novel I bought a few days ago. I sometimes talk to my dearest brother who understands me and knows what to say when he sees me stressed out.I am thankful I have a variety of things I can depend on to calm down.

Writing Prompt: Menagerie

Yes we have animals in our life. It means a lot to us. We have two kittens ,they are playful, they tell us when they are hungry. Sometimes when they do things,we do not approve, they look at us and it seems asking us, “yes we will get up on the mantel piece,what are you going to do about it.”

We have a great time with these innocent animals. I noticed they are still trying to figure me out, especially the Siamese kitten. the other one is quite used to me. He plays when he wants to, he likes his rest, he doesn’t want to move when it is his resting time.We love our kittens, the most important thing I see is, they love us unconditionally.
