Is That a Mark on the Computer or the Cursor?
Working From Home Distractions - Dancing with Distraction Challenge Entry
Dogs barking outside in the distance
Itches in random spots around my body
Stomach rumbling, though I only just ate!
Tea going cold faster than I can drink it
Rustling of paper, plastic or whatever the dogs are attacking now
Aches in random spots around my body
Cold feet, need my socks or slippers
Too much heat coming through the window
Is that a mark on the screen or just the cursor?
Old bladder issues - time for another toilet break
Now the computer has decided to switch itself off - great!

Pints & Parkruns: Jubilee, Spennymoor
If MC Escher created a parkrun, it might look a bit like Jubilee. Based in a compact – but surprisingly lovely – park in the small County Durham town of Spennymoor, it twists and turns its way up repeated hills. Although basic physics says it must come down again, somehow this route never feels like it gives runners a proper descent.

Lol, I have an overactive bladder so I can relate so much with that and a few others as well!
Oh this was funny but not!! You nailed the sensory feelings, great entry :)
Way too close to home, lol. I wonder how many of us can identify.
More dogs! Definitely works for me! Good one, Paul!
