4-4-4 again

Once again, I’m inspired by Elisabeth Ellington‘s post to try the 4-4-4 format. The last time I did this was last May.

Let sleeping dogs lie they say. But Ginger would definitley like to be awoken if there’s a treat to be had. She’s my very inefficient office assistant on days I work from home. While today she’s sleeping atop her office chair pillow, she often begs to sit on my lap and interrupts my typing.

I’ve never been one for a lot scents, but my sister-in-law gifted me this luxe candle during the holidays. It’s one of those celebrity-owned brands and I have to admit, it lives up to the hype. It’s now become part of my work-from-home ritual.

Hello Kitty strikes again. I could probably do a 4-4-4 on just the HK objects within my reach. The ramen cups were also a gift from sister-in-law. She wasn’t sure I would eat them since I typically don’t eat chicken, but she couldn’t resist buying them because they’re so darned cute. And they are!

Oh, Bernie. My husband and I were fans of Bernie Sanders even before his first presidential run. We attended two rallies, including one when we were supposed to be on vacation. We even canvassed the neighborhood for his 2016 run and I did phone banking for his 2020 campaign. The Bernie doll was gifted to us by a fellow “Bernie bro”. I brought him along when that friend and I went to see him speak on his book tour.

*I confess–I actually took two 4-minute sessions to finish and do a quick revision/edit.

    I like this format. Thanks for the reminder. And for all the interesting things you have around you to write about. Love your inefficient office assistant!

    My wife has a thing for Hello Kitty as well. There really is a lot going on just four feet from us at any given point. We just don’t always take note of what’s happening.

    Love your format AND the Bernie doll! This slice is a reminder of the details that abound right around where we sit!

    Totally forgiven for the extra four. I love that you were on board with Bernie! He and Elizabeth Warren still give me hope in these incredibly fraught times.

    HK next to Bernie made me laugh – and I love your confession – frees me up to cheat a little when I use this format – which I certainly will after reading yours and Elisabeth’s. I’m impressed with how evocative these are.
