The exercise:

Write about: burning.

This heat, you guys. Tonight was the first night we didn't go to the beach to cool off since Saturday, and that was only because none of us could be bothered.

Thankfully we should be past the worst of it now, with things starting to gradually cool off. Maybe it won't reach 40 tomorrow? That would be nice.

The exercise:

Write two haiku about: hell on earth.

Sorry, too hot for clever prompts.

The exercise:

Write about: counting.

Three work days left (Thursday is Canada Day) until the property tax deadline hits. Not that anybody in the office is, well, you know.

The exercise:

Write about: the beach.

Spent most of the weekend at the beach, including having dinner and time in the lake the last two evenings. Gotta beat the heat somehow.

The exercise:

Write a four line poem about: getting creative.

Friday June 25th, 2021

The exercise:

Write four lines of prose about: under the dome.

I feel like, as an adult, I am quite regularly hearing weather terms that I never knew about as a child.

Also? I feel like the similarity to Thunderdome is entirely intentional.

The exercise:

Write something that has to do with: a full moon.

It's remarkable how different work is when the moon is full, as it was today. Particularly when combined with property tax season (deadline is July 2nd, so only a week to go... until people start getting their overdue notices...).
