MY RHYMING POEM
Wash your hands for 20 seconds - read the details on the sign
But people are in such a rush - they don't even take the time
Do what the sign says - it's not hard and not too vague
Wash your hands right, or you'll pass on the zombie plague
- By Sherry
MY HAIKU
Purify yourself
Get rid of negative thoughts
Make progress and shine
- By Sherry
APPRECIATIONS
I believe it's important to not be so full of ourselves. People help you along the way. So let's not be lazy about giving thanks.
I would like to thank a friend who invited me to dance this month. The theme of the show was mental health in response to Mental Awareness Month. I enjoyed picking out and dancing to the music ("Scared of Everyone" by Modwheelmood and "Psycho Therapy" by Impaler). I had a great time, and I appreciated the active audience.
Z-JOURNAL
I'm trying to eat healthier and put more greens in my diet. Cutting and washing greens are just tiresome chores, and I'm just to lazy too do that. That's why I purchase the prepackaged greens since they're already cut and triple-washed. As a result, I'm eating more greens.
Many foods are becoming prepackaged and ready to put in the oven or stove. I laughed when I saw packaged items such as hardboiled eggs, cooked hamburger, and cookies ready to be placed in the oven. Personally, I'm not so lazy to put eggs in boiling water - but I'm sure it's wonderful for other people. I understand the power of convenience. Sometimes people get busy (and lazy) and need to spend more time with family and social media rather than fool with prepping and cooking.
TOO MUCH Z-NESS?Do you find yourself getting lazy? Maybe someone called you lazy and that you need to get off your butt. Perhaps you're not accomplishing your goals like you should. Are you blaming the government for everything? Well, it's time for you to tackle your excessive Z-ness. I hope this tip helps you.
Using too much prepackaged food? Yes, there is such thing. For example, it's more expensive and has loads of sodium. And how are you going to learn how to cook if everything is done for you? Wouldn't you feel great about yourself if you prepared a homecooked meal for you and/or family?
Tips
THE CHILLING CORNER
Because sometimes you need to chill
Movie
Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! (2008)
I was prepared for bad acting and a corky plot which was okay with me since some of those silly movies are funny. So I was in for a surprise when I watched this movie. I found the plot original and acting not bad. It was about drug addicted prostitutes using a mysterious cracklike drug that turned them into zombies. This movie was so funny. I particularly like the pimp. He made me laugh so hard. Good movie to check out.

Books
For the following books, I received a free digital copy from storycartel.com in exchange for a review.
A Valentine Challenge (Challenge Series) by Kiru Taye
I enjoyed reading this book. I liked the idea about the bet. The plot was quite predictable, and I felt the ending was a little too fast; but I still liked the book because the characters are well developed and the steamy sections were great.
Hollywood Ass by Jonas Eriksson
I enjoyed the author's writing style and original similes. The pace was excellent and had a mixture of serious and funny moments. The title of the book was great based on the content. The book is about a Hollywood celebrity assistant that goes beyond the call of duty to deal with an actress' crap. I would like to read more books from the author. The book was entertaining.
Is Your Wetsuit Like a Bad Love Affair and Other Essays by Dee Dee Mozeleski
This book was a series of short essays about relationships and heartbreak. It starts out mentioning that heartbreak is indescribeable. The essays were enlightening, and I connected with the author. I particularly liked her comparison of relationships with a wetsuit. You shouldn't make something fit in a relationship. That's a powerful message.
Detox 101: 5 Steps to Design Your Personal Detox Plan by Elicia Woodford
I was interested in this book because I wanted to improve my health. Some information I've heard before, but the author provide some other helpful information. A quick acid/alkaine discussion was included, and I appreciated the chart of acidic and alkaline foods.
When looking through the mega-list of no-no foods, I wondered what a person could eat on a detox diet. Looking at the gigantic list, it seemed like nothing. It would have been nice to have some recipes or a meal plan since the no-no foods were extensive. The author did make some food suggestions, but I wanted a little more.
I also appreciated the list of vegetables/fruits that used less pesticides than other produce. This was handy because organic food could be expensive and/or unavailable.
Song
"Scared of Everyone" by Modwheelmood
I performed this song improv as a soloist recently. I like the song so much that I'm going to choreograph it for a future performance.
I guess everyone would be scared of everyone eventually if laziness and hardheadness continues. To minimize this, please respect yourself and others, eat healthier, exercise, cook your own food, use proper protection, practice good hygiene and wash your hands properly, read and write more and have fun. Remember to work hard, chill, and balance.
