The exercise:
Write about: playing catch up.
I've been running behind all week at work after the three day weekend. Finally got close just before end of day today, so hopefully tomorrow is a little more manageable.

The exercise:
Write about: catching up.
All caught up on comments again.
But there is more catching up to be done...
Mine:
When I started my contract with the town back in April it quickly became apparent that we would need a second vehicle sooner than later. I was starting my shifts too early for Kat to drop me off and ending them too late for her to pick me up. That meant for the four days I worked in a row, she was basically stuck at home with the boys.
That... didn't seem sustainable for the next six months.
So we started looking pretty much right away. And found what we were looking for before I'd even received my first paycheque. We wanted a larger vehicle to hold all four of us and all the stuff we'd be hauling around, especially on road trips that involve overnight stays.
We bought this Pontiac Montana during the first week of May (I honestly don't remember the exact date):
It's looking rather dusty there but I swear it's clean on the inside.
Why didn't I mention this purchase at the time? A couple reasons. The big one being that life was very, very busy. I didn't even have a decent picture of it to share (I actually took the above today in preparation for this post).
The other major factor in the delayed reveal? I was not super thrilled with purchasing a minivan. It fits our needs and whatever blah blah blah, but it's not exactly a vehicle I'd aspired to owning. In fact, I still insist on calling it our van, not our minivan.
As though the distinction makes any sort of difference.
Anyway. I think that gets me almost completely caught up. Just one more thing coming and I should be getting to that this week sometime.
Oooh, mysterious.
