I did it! 2/1/2026 #JusJoJan26 #jusjojan #bloggingchallenge #jusjojan2026 This was my fourth year to participate in Just Jot it January. I posted every day. I discovered new-to-me blogs and a few people have discovered my blog. So win-win. 😉 Four years ago, I kept blogging daily after JusJoJan. The next two years, I did not. This year, I'm going for the daily blogging again. I learned through my blogging and not blogging behavior that I'm a lazy blogger, which is not something I'm particularly proud of.

Just Jot it January 01/31/2026 SoCS – Scratch an Itch #jusjojan #jusjojan26 #streamofconsciousness #socs Scratch an itch is today's Stream of Consciousness Saturday and Just Jot it January's prompt. I know 'scratch an itch' is an idiom for finally satisfying a long-held desire, craving, or urge. I don't have any of those. The only thing I could come up with was physically scratching where it itches, so here's a kangaroo scratching an itch. Linda hosts Just Jot it…

Eavesdropper – Angela’s prompt for January 26th George Michael's song, Careless Whisper, is a song about getting caught cheating on your significant other and the guilt and regret that comes with knowing you've thrown away a good relationship. The line 'time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend' is how the significant other found out about the cheater's cheating.

Just Jot it January 01/25/2026 Transmission #jusjojan #jusjojan26 #littlenashrambler Transmission – Dar’s prompt for January 25th I'm digging deeply into the nostalgia of my past. I drove a used Rambler car c. 1973. I don't know what year it was made, but it wasn't new by a long shot. The color was a blend of ugly brown and rust. My husband at the time had bought it for a few dollars, because he fancied himself a backyard mechanic.

Just Jot it January 01/23/2026 Altruism #jusjojan #jusjojan26 #rethinkingmaslow #toxicaltruism Altruism – Rohini’s prompt for January 23rd Altruism has a dark, toxic side. This dark side feeds the self-sacrificing ego while wearing an invisible cloak of control. Here's a 'for instance': Let's say I've encountered a homeless person/beggar and I buy this person coffee or a sandwich instead of giving money to spend however they want. My dark side altruism does this because of a predetermined belief that the person will buy something I disapprove of.

The root of this problem is with food textures. Certain consistencies of foods and beverages can set off my gag reflex like a cat hacking up a hairball. Yes, I have aversions to many flavors and aromas, too, but those don't necessarily activate my gag reflex.

This Too Shall Pass, My Little Sparrow In response to Linda G. Hill's #SoCS Stream of Consciousness, JustJotit, JusJoJan for January 17, 2026 Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 17th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: favorite saying Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy! I don’t remember the exact sound of Nana’s footsteps, but I remember her saying. It arrived before everything else, before advice, before scolding, before bedtime stories. It floated into rooms like a soft ribbon and wrapped itself around my small, nervous heart. “This too shall pass, my little sparrow.” She said it when milk boiled over and I cried as if the world had ended.
