The exercise:

Write about: the artifact.

Spent the day with the boys while Kat went up to Penticton to work out of her new office there. She's going to be there every other Monday, with the hope of having a few face to face clients. It's a shared space with a masseuse who doesn't work Mondays so it's looking pretty ideal at this point.

Took the boys grocery shopping and then to the park this morning. Miles immediately spotted a seagull and went chasing after it. Not long after that he found a duck to chase. Had to get them home before he chased something into the lake.

Back to work for a couple days before I get Thursday off. Looking like it will be a chilly start to the day.

Mine:

"What are we looking for down here?"

"I'll know it when I see it."

"That's... not helpful."

"Just keep the flashlight steady, okay?"

"What... did you hear that?"

"Hey! Shiny shiny over here, remember?"

"But I heard something move over there. Hello? Who's there?"

"It's probably just a rat. I'm pretty sure there's a family or two or three of them down here."

"Probably? Two or three? I'm not enjoying the uncertainty of this little adventure."

"Relax... hey, shine that thing over here. I think this is what we need."

"If I hear any more doubt coming out of your mouth I'm handing in my resignation as soon as -"

"This is it! The exhibit is going to be so much better because of... oh, damn it."

"Do I want to know?"

"I think one of the rats might have eaten part... well, most of the artifact."
