Oh, and happy 10 year anniversary to Daily Writing Practice. The, uh, prompt was honestly not connected with this at all. I just remembered after scheduling the entire week that the blog started sometime in early June, so I looked up the actual date and then edited this post.

I feel like I'm over explaining this.

So I shall just say: thanks for being an integral part of this writing practice site. Reading your responses to my prompts is what keeps me committed to continuing on with this blog.

First line week draws to a close with the saying on my current favorite t-shirt: "In my defense, I was left unsupervised."

I used to wear that on Friday nights at the community centre, when I was working on my own. Now I'll sometimes bust it out when I'm working weekends with public works, as I'm the only town staff working in the afternoon.

Either way, it's an awesome shirt.
