The exercise:

Write something which takes place in: the clothing store.

Had the boys this morning while Kat was seeing a client, so I took them for a visit to our favorite coffee shop. Just wasn't feeling up to StrongStart.

Feel like I could use a whole day to myself to rest and recharge. Hopefully tomorrow morning will be good enough.

"That's not how it works, Charlie. Get over there and make some sales."

"Sales? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize we had restocked our Dumb, Blind, and Destined To Be Alone Forever section."

"Charlie..."

"Fine, I'm going. But I want my full bonus for this month if I can get him to buy so much as a pair of socks."

"Good luck with that, Charlie - he's not even wearing shoes."

"Oh for crying out loud..."
