Room service isn’t picking up

You know that you’ve had a pretty good day when the worst thing that happens is that room service isn’t answering your call for food. I am going to get up and go downstairs to order our food in person, we were looking forward to eat alone in our room and watch t.v. It’s only a minor inconvenience, what is weird is that I went down before to order in person and no one was manning the dining room. My hubby had a good idea and called the hotel restaurant, so I placed the order and I will deliver it to ourselves in about twenty minutes. I don’t know what is going on with the restaurant this evening, this surely can’t be good for business. This morning when I was having breakfast, they had three people and the service was fine. This evening at 6:15, this doesn’t bode well for tonight’s receipts. Perhaps a waiter called in sick, but still when I was down there before, they only had one table of four occupied. Oh well I can’t worry for them, there isn’t anything that I can do about it. I hope that the kitchen isn’t short staffed because then we will surely be in trouble, I may be supplying the service but they definitely won’t let me in their kitchen to cook our food. Theoretically there isn’t much that you can do to ruin pasta, soup and salad, I hope that I don’t end up eating my words, we haven’t tasted anything yet.

It’s always an adventure. 😀

Fearful symmetry

Pick a letter, any letter. Now, write a story, poem, or post in which every line starts with that letter.

Why did I pick the letter "w"? Why not, I say and also I do like to ask questions and the question words start with the letter "w". Words are the conduit of our language and is it coincidental that "w" is the first letter of word? Where will I go with this prompt is anyone's guess. When I picked "w" I didn't think too far in advance as in the plot or the narrative. Was this a poor choice? What do you think, I suppose if I weren't so tired, my synapses would be firing a little more productively and I would be writing something a little more interesting.

Will there be other writers with better posts than this one? Would I were to be a betting person, I would bet there are definitely many who are doing a much better job than I in this exercise. Would gifted writers engage in this type of writing practice? Wonder is all that I can do for the moment. Willful choosing of "w" words isn't the easiest thing to do while keeping a consistent thread going for the post. Would that my readers indulge me in this crazy prompt. Wonder how my friend Tilly Bud would approach this prompt.
