A drabble is a very short story of exactly 100 words. Feel free to join in and write your own drabbles on Fridays and tag them with “friday drabble” and on Twitter with the hashtag #fridaydrabble.

I was exhausted. Work took everything out of me and I barely had enough energy to drive home.
But as tired as I was, I decided that I couldn’t go to bed with no dinner. I walked around the kitchen trying to decide what to eat. Meatloaf? No, it needed to be thawed. Spaghetti? Had the sauce, but not enough patience to wait for the noodles to boil. Tuna? Good choice, but my can opener was broken. Yogurt? Nope. I’d still be hungry afterward.
Then it became crystal clear to me what the obvious choice was all along: CEREAL.
What happened to the “love is” drabble? I was looking forward to that!
Ahhhh! I thought I got away with not finishing that one since I reached the 100 word limit so quickly
We’ll see…I’ll put that in the queue for next year, maybe.
Just ate oatmeal for dinner. I have no excuse to be this lazy on a Sunday…
It’s cold outside. If you’re home and comfortable and don’t wanna go back out, do what ya gotta do!
Great story and one that everyone can relate to! I always have popcorn on the ready for those nights…
Yep! Another is peanut butter. It is very filling, even sans crackers.
Cereal is always a valid choice!!!
Yes! And it helps to have 2-3 different kinds on hand at any given time so you can have options…or maybe that’s just me?
I can confirm that 2-4 options is key!
Hey, I love the idea of Friday Drabble, I hope I remember this time around.
Simple story, but still very real.
Keep sharing. Sometimes I have my lazy days too, and with this cold outside, I am
not too pressed to move around, unless I really have to.
Be blessed.
Thanks much! If you write a Drabble, send me the link so I can check it out. I got the idea from Stevil who is another commenter on this post.
Living 60 miles from our workplace, the crockpot on our day off is our primary left-over maker. The return journey home, especially in the dark of winter, ends around 8 p.m. with 10 p.m. lights out time. So, the question each evening is which plastic container to heat up while doing evening chores? Chops? Pasta? Mexican? Indian? Irish stew? We make salads ahead of time for quick placement on the table, while the microwave hums. Thus, with the dogs fed, lunches assembled for tomorrow, and the fire glowing, we sit down to sort the mail and eat another supper.
Ha! I wrote something in 100 words. How’s that for drabble (I cheated a little by counting “p.m.” as one word, rather than “post meridian” two words). Oscar
That’s a pretty good (unintentional?) Drabble, Oscar!
No, I counted the words many times. Those dishes in the middle were filler which I could add to or delete out to get the right to 100.
