2024 Year that Was by jake cosmos aller
End of year 2024 writing prompt entry

January

 

Very cold weather

 

Trump way ahead

Democrats panicking

 

Things progressing at home

Daily writing

Daily piano playing

 

February

 

Stayed low

 

Hibernating the winter way

Cold weather

 

Politics unsettled

Constant turmoil

Trump nails the republican race.

 

March

 

Cold and blistering weather

 

Unsettled times

Doctors on strike

 

Angela’s endoscopy

Everything is on track

We are in good shape.

 

April

 

Went to Japan

 

Earthquake

blasted us awake

 

Finished tour

Returned home to Korea

Doctor’s strike continuing.

 

May

 

Returned to Oregon

 

Started renovations

Went to DC

 

Returned

Renovations proceeding

And AIRBNB as well.

 

June

 

Big turmoil

 

Debate showed Biden was out of it

Trump came off as Trumpian

 

Shocking news Biden steps down

Harris rushes to replace him

Wondering will it be enough?

 

July

 

What a month

Democrats and Republican conventions

 

What a contrast

Watched Olympics

 

And the conventions.

Went to the gym daily

Getting ready for the reunion blues.

 

August

 

Hot weather in Medford

 

Political turmoil

Far Far away in DC

 

Renovations continuing project

Almost finished.

Went to gym every day

 

September

 

I watched the big debate

 

with God’s podcaster’s commentary.

Trump acting crazy, talking shit about pet-eating Haitians.

 

But no knockout blow

So election drama continues.

Renovations are finishing up.

 

October

 

Constant turmoil.

 

Finished renovations in Medford.,

Who is ahead? who is behind?

 

Celebrated 69 birthday, won 250 dollars in Indian Casino.

Returned home for BHS HS reunion, I met my first girlfriend there.

50 years after graduation, still got it going on.

November

Shocking election results

 

Democrats fought hard

But in the end, they came up short.

 

Political chaos ensures

Game blaming continues unabated

Had a nice Thanksgiving in Medford.

 

December

 

Political chaos

 

Political chaos continues

In Korea short-term martial law

 

President Impeached

Chaos in US

Nice to be back home
