Word Vomit
#100 things in 20 minutes challenge. You can blame Judey for this rubbish
You've probably seen the #100 things challenge around. If not, well, where've you been??!? Here's my version. Not sure I did it right. I tell you, though... this was therapeutic!
Oh, It's COMPLETELY UNEDITED. So, read at your own risk ;)
**********************************************************
- Twenty minutes for a hundred things.... hmm...
- well this should be easy because they're just the sentences popping out of my mind.
- a black hole of useless and unceasing trivia and anxieties
- i have adhd, afterall... this should be easy.
- finally my time to shine.
- so what would i write about?
- well, how about we start with the most obvious question on my mind...
- how could i even hope to start the challenge when i never get twenty minutes to myself?
- i mean between the dogs and my husband, I can never find a minute to myself without constant interruptions.
- so thats the hardest part, but then again, it's only twenty minutes.
- quick, now.. . husband is asleep and the dogs are napping. could it be my opening?
- my mind reels with thoughts and possibilities.
- should i be extra clever and find the dusty stories that live on even dustier shelves of my subconscious just waiting to...
- ooh... only sixteen minutes left.
- wait. that means i did thirteen things in four minutes, right?
- but what's the math on that?
- here, pause the stopwatch feature and grab the calculator feature on the phone...
- wait... is that cheating? best not.
- oh crap, just debating over the timing took a whole minute!? Frick!
- and i've not even said anything worth saying yet
- bugger!
- Okay, so skip that and write the next thing that pops into your mind...
- squirrel!!! Jk Jk
- But actually that's how my mind works.
- Should i be ashamed that I still use that reference pretty much daily?
- Nah... I do have dogs, afterall, and it's so true.
- speaking of dogs.... they woke up.... best try to wrap this up before it's too late.
- oh man, my fingers are going numb on my right hand... it is getting harder to type
- damn, this is actaully kind of hard.
- oops. my phone just lit up... twelve minutes left. EEK
- okay but that's okay because i havent even unloaded the thoughts from mymind yet.
- sonofa! NOW myADHD wants to be silent!?
- figures. its not supposed to be a superpower, I suppose.
- but it often felt like one for me.
- Damn i keep typoing.
- its okay Ill fix it later
- wait...is that aganst the rules
- Guess I'll just leave them in here.
- lol good luck to any brave souls who try to read this garbagee
- Frick another typo!.
- oh well moving on!
- My dog is chewing a hole in the carpet
- ANOTHER hole I should say
- wheres the headslap emoji?
- too long... just imagine one here
- my fingers are so freaking numb
- i cant feel the keyys anymore
- no wonder im typoing so much
- okay thats okay
- muscle memory is a powerful thng
- just close my eyes and run with tit
- lol that typo says tit
- oh man my brain
- i know the keyboard like the backs of my hands
- this should be easy
- speaking of the back of my hand... what strange saying that is
- i actually know the palms of mine better i think
- ya those lines are pieces of my history
- that scar from when my dog bit me
- i was ten
- i deserved it though
- i was taunitng her.
- but it was my fist time getting stitches and going to the ER
- wait
- nope. that was when i was five
- the first time i went to the hospital
- oh gosh....how could i forget?
- the lump on my neck
- they thought t was cancer
- it was just a cyst i guess
- but that CT scan man
- that was hell
- and the scar never went away
- yep... there it is
- but then i got a teddy bear from my grandma
- id pointed it out the week before.
- i wonder what ever happened to that th8ng?ish i knew.
- wish i knew where a lot of things were
- so much lost over the years
- alas.
- my toes are going numb now
- i really should have gotten a better position than half off my bed for this
- and the mattress is falling appart.so i just slide down to the floor
- jneed to buya new bed
- but the money!
- wait supposed to be all clever and creative here
- be orignal LENA!
- too much pressure!!!
- look at the clock how much time?
- ooh only six miuntes.

- what!? im at 92!
- I can do this... next thought...
- sonaofa... i cant think
- stupid brain dying on me mow
- you never shut up normally!
- anxietey all the time
- a million thoughts in a million directions
- squirrels upon squirrels upo0n squirrls
- and i never end up catching any of them!
- Just anxeity weging me down. I wonder if anyone will follow my line of thought here?
- thats okay though because I dont really get a lot of reads anyway

But it's delightfully fun garbage, Lena. I say, kudos to you. Bravo!
This was very fun to read 🖤🖤
I read all the way to 149+! Nice job!😊💕
Well, I think you did a great job. It felt like I was inside your mind.
There is no wrong way to do this. You are talented and perceptive. You are also truthful and transparently I afraid. I’m proud of you.
Lol, your fingers getting numb and then your toes getting numb. This wasn't garbage, I enjoyed reading it!
Let it pour Lena, it took me thirty minutes but I am not a fast reader or writer. ANd you did 150, great to get these things out of our systems. Big hugs
