Writing prompt of the day:
65. Telephone: Write about a phone call you recently received.
Guess you have noticed that I go looking for the number of the day when I am checking out the writing prompts – keeps things from getting too much of the same old same old
The last phone call I received was from my girlfriend, who asked me to help connect her with the Peapod delivery service. I merged the calls and then when she was done with business, we talked for about an hour and a half. As usual with such conversations I am not exactly sure what we were chatting about for that long, just that there was a range of topics: our health and medical issues, what’s on TV, the news and politics [about which we both have rather strong opinions], the well-being of various family members and/or friends, taxes, the difficulty of getting reasonably priced smaller quantities of fresh produce when you cannot get out and about, next year’s season at the Shakespeare Theater, the state of her condo’s elevators, clutter, our high school reunion [been 50 years since we graduated], and probably several other things. We have known each other for a very long time indeed so we tend to just …. Talk.
HAH! Although we are both old enough to have used this kind of phone, she was on a speaker phone and I was on my cell phone with a bluetooth speaker/mike in my ear….
