I should have brought my sports bra. This one is not going to support me at all. Why didn't I put it in? Too much in a rush, that's why. I shouldn't have stayed up to finish that series. I knew I'd regret it one way or another. I've got nothing to watch tonight now either. And these yoga pants? I look like a bag of rubbish tied up. I thought they were meant to allow movement? Where's my water bottle? Oh, don't tell me I left it in the car? I'm such a bozo! And now I'll be late!

Exactly 100 words

A Drabble for today based on the prompt "Write a few paragraphs about the thoughts going through your head as you change into your gym clothes."

This was taken from:

I chose to format it in one long paragraph as if it was stream of consciousness.

Thanks for stopping by! If you do read this, please leave a comment as I love to interact with my readers.

    Back to say congratulations on making this week's leaderboard for one of the most discussed stories. Well done!

  • Olufemi Afolabiabout a year ago

    Very well relatable.....Why didn't I put it in? Too much in a rush, that's why.

  • Caitlin Charltonabout a year ago

    Very relatable, love how it was written as a stream of consciousness, it was enjoyable to read the difficulties of the sports bra providing no support and becoming forgetful due to being in a rush. It was a perfect choas and I like a bit of that.

    So true tho, its surprising how restrictive yoga pants can be, and sports bras vary widely!!

  • D.K. Shepardabout a year ago

    Having the wrong bra for physical activity is no joke

  • D. J. Reddallabout a year ago

    A window into an ordinary life, rendered extraordinary by the narrator's wit and self-deprecating candor!

  • Caroline Cravenabout a year ago

    Haha! You’re the best Rachel! I feel like this is me every time I force myself to go to the gym or take a class!

  • John Coxabout a year ago

    Awkward brilliance, Rachel! You make going to the gym worse than it already is!

  • Jay Kantorabout a year ago

    Rd ~ So you're going to leave us "Hanging," Then..! Jb

    Brilliant stream of consciousness, Rachel!

  • Belleabout a year ago

    I love this inner monologue!

  • Hannah Mooreabout a year ago

    Interesting. Mine would be much more anxiety based. Do I feel up to this? Have I got time? What comes after?

  • Lana V Lynxabout a year ago

    Honest and convincing. Brilliant monologue, Rachel!

  • angela hepworthabout a year ago

    Relatable, relatable—did I say relatable?

  • L.C. Schäferabout a year ago

    This feels like a peek inside my head today. I stayed up all night binging that Netflix series with Sheridan Smith about insider trading, and I'm not wearing a bra either.

  • Cathy holmesabout a year ago

    Yup, like Paul said, it's like a journal entry. Well done.

  • Drabbles look fun… great job.

  • Paul Stewartabout a year ago

    Lol. This feels like a real journal entry or something. Well done, bozochum! :P

  • Oooo, a bozo, that's a new word for me. Loved your drabble!
