Have fun and your three things today are:
MOUTH
TIRESOME
LONG
When my nails have tiny little snags or they are too long, I find it tiresome being distracted by them getting caught on little fibers. I have to work hard not to put my fingers in my mouth and bite the snag away. I used to bite my nails all the time.
The challenge is to simply read the prompt and see where your creativity takes you, using one, two or all three words in your post. https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2020/10/19/three-things-challenge-393/
Have fun and these are your three things today are:
INOCULATE
NEEDLE
JAB
When I went to the doctors
I knew what he’d say
Let’s see how you’ve grown
Let’s see how much you weigh.
With the greatest of worries
I stepped on the scale
I knew I was overweight
Yup, hit the head of the nail.
The doctor he looked at me
Full of sick dread
“you’d better lose weight
Or you’ll soon wind up dead!”
Then I got off the scale
And knew the needle was next
One jab of that thing
Oh, my muscles did flex!
To inoculate me
In such a worrisome state
Has made me forget
The time and the date.
So, I got up to leave
And I said to the doc
Next time it’s your turn
And you can take stock
Of how bad that thing hurts
Maybe you even know
But the look on your face
Tells me I’d better just go.

Your three things today are:
MONEY
PRESSURE
TICKET
Back at the ranch
Under the stars
The pressure was on
To head straight to the bars
No money to spare
So, we knew to drink light
A ticket to paradise
Not far from sight.

Thanks to Di at Pensitivity101 for 3 things: https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2020/06/25/three-things-challenge-277/
Your three things today are:
RESPITE
UNHEARD
NAKED
Having worked with the psychologically fragile I understand that caregivers need a chance to receive respite for all the hours they put in. It is a lot of work and mentally demanding. A great day is even an hour of peacefulness. It is not unheard of for smaller children suffering from an emotional disturbance to suddenly appear naked, to shock the caregiver. Luckily, I do not believe adults are the same. The hardest part is convincing caregivers that respite is for them, not because they can’t do their job right.

Your three things today are:
GRACE
FORTRESS
WHISPER
Written for Di at pensitivity101: https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2020/06/18/three-things-challenge-270/
Walking along the buttress
Of her seemingly war proof fortress
Grace asked her soldiers for much less
To whisper so that noise was voiceless
Lest they should feel so useless
They went off to play the game of chess.

MATT
SHINE
SATIN
https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2020/04/15/three-things-challenge-206/
Matt was a man who liked to dine
on cheap champagne and cheese
He wanted a wife who he could love
who also wanted to please.
He searched and searched hi and low
but never found a good sign.
He polished his teeth and combed his hair
he always wanted to shine.
There once was a lady who he had met
who hadn’t had much love before
they fell in love and so they bought
satin sheets to lay on the floor.
They bought a house and bought a car
they thought they’d finally get rich
but hopes and dreams pop just as fast
as a car driving into a ditch.
So now they lay side by side
in a grave built for couples of two
but no one knows about their love
so, there’s no one who really feels blue.

LID
FORCE
EYE
Written for Di’s Challenge Pensitivity101: https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2020/04/14/three-things-challenge-205/
It took some force
but then it’s done
I closed my eyes
now I’ve won.
I won’t stop now
because I know
my lids will close
my thoughts will grow.

FLEA
JAR
STAR
When I wish upon a star
I hope my love is true
I’ll put that love inside a jar
But open it to you.
I’ll share my love with you today
no matter where I am
Just like a flea that likes to stay
or a barnacle on a clam.

Devon knew the history of the stone sculpture, but he wasn’t sure he trusted the tale. Back in the day there was the belief that in winter, when the ice thaws, the water that falls from the sides of the rock was infused with gold. The story was nice but if the tale were true then the ink upon the rice paper which is laid under the flow would also turn gold. That has never happened, at least in his lifetime.

“Go get the book! We need to go and we are driving right past the library. I’ll stop and you can run in and drop the book off.”
“I never even read the last book I borrowed.”
“What! Why not?”
“I was so busy this week. Boredom was not an issue. I actually would have liked the down time.”
“Okay, just grab your jacket and we’ll return the book anyhow. I don’t want to have to pay a late fee.”
“Fine with me. It didn’t seem like it was going to be that great of a book. And about that fee…the book is already a week late!”
“Great! I wonder how much the fee will be.”
“It’s only 25 cents a week.”
“Well, that’s a relief. I can send the quarter in with you when you drop the book off.”
