Paraphernalia (Word prompt given on December 3, 2021):

I had surgery recently, and I was forced to slow down and recover. I’m not sure why, but it was a very slow recovery. It’s been a week and the most I got done today was I washed my hair and fed myself leftovers in the microwave for dinner. That’s about the gist of what I accomplished today, unfortunately. I had expected to be fully healed and have bounced back by now. As you can imagine, I am very frustrated, and I loathe TV and the internet at this point! Jill gave me the word paraphernalia, and here is a photo of my healing paraphernalia. Included in this photo are my drinks to stay hydrated, my squishmallow that my daughter had bought me a few months ago to be comforting and to double as a cushion for parts that need support. In addition to that is my iPad to entertain me, a black eye mask so I can sleep whenever I need to which is usually to 10 in the morning. Lastly, turn the TV remote so I can watch Netflix, I made a relax and chill spray, and one of my favorite candies—snowcaps. Might take a good bit longer to continue to heel, but at least I have a few creature comforts!

—Jennifer

Truth (word prompt given on August 27, 2021): I think truth has been my most challenging word that Jill has provided me. How do you photograph truth? I thought about nature, but we hybridize and clone plants. I really racked my brain for how to photograph truth and failed because we are living in a very challenging and stressful period of time where the truth is elusive. I guess I may have stretched the truth by rendering it with chalk and photographing the word itself!  —Jennifer

  Tedious (word prompt given on October 1, 2021): Jill gave me tedious as my word for the week. This week it was remarkably easy to think of tedious things! The things that stood out to me the most were the unpleasant things like, insurance, taxes, figuring out technology, and bills. Also, I have ADHD so that makes it exponentially harder at times. When I think of tedious, I think of unpleasant forms and me switching between my regular glasses and reading glasses. Bifocals give me a headache so switching between the two constantly is exceedingly tedious! —Jennifer

Uncanny (Photo by Jennifer inspired by Jill’s word.)

  Uncanny (Word prompt given on November 26, 2021): We spent the previous weekend in a hotel farther North. I had wanted to go somewhere warm for vacation, but due to everyone’s time constraints we went towards the snow! My chihuahua Tequila (who I always torture with frequent photo shoots) came along. She has an uncanny talent of making herself at home anywhere. She appreciated the plush comforters at our hotel. We got a separate warm blanket for a pull-out drawer just for her for when we left the room. Tequila loathes the cold and the snow, so she happily enjoyed her creature comforts of the toasty room!
