February prompts are falling like snow on the Sierras this winter, an average of 13 feet at the ski resorts. The last time I was at Lake Tahoe on Valentine’s Day was several years ago when hubby had his annual b.s. fest with his tax accountant. They take care of business, while I take the dogs to Nevada Beach down the street from Grant Roberts’ office. (not his real name). It’s the name of a malicious ghost with amazing math skills in William Hill’s “California Ghosting” loosely based on “Grant”.

This year, their appointment is on April Fool’s Day. 🤣🤣🤣

Back to Valentine’s Day and what it means to me. 20-word stories.

Working for medium.coma: mucho trabajo por poco dinero. A lot of work for a little money. (four more words here)

As a delivery driver for a florist on Valentine’s Day: A lot of fun, but the nerve of some ppl to have their birthdays on the same day. (It’s a semi-rant, so 17 extra words are acceptable.)

Did I ever tell you about the time a Salvation Army semi nearly rear ended me at a red light? I donnae put money in their buckets anymore. Flashbacks. (29 words. 30, 31, 32. — typed on word counter) “Your text might contain writing issues.” Cannae stop there. 44 words is bad luck as TzeLin can tell you. Word Counter considers Scots words as ‘writing issues’ ha! (67 words). Ten more for good luck cuz vivo en Calzoncillos, Nevada.

Yes, I’m semi-conscious when I write, but I read BichoDoMato’s posts for an hour and a half yesterday. Lingering effects.

I’m also cleaning a house Valentine’s Day. Yadi used to help me. She was my medium.coma writing partner, too. ❤️❤️😿
