The exercise:

Write about: ghosts.

Happy Halloween! The boys got Minecraft costumes this year, but if you think they stood still long enough to get their pictures taken then I strongly suspect you are unaware of the direct link between sugar and children's inability to stop moving.

The exercise:

A whole day earlier than the last possible day of the month to do it, let us return to Out of the Woods.

Managed to get my course assignment completed and submitted this evening, after spending a couple hours on it yesterday morning and three more this afternoon. I went into the office to do it, for ease of concentration and lack of child-sized distractions.

Looking forward to not being in the middle of elections the next time I have a major assignment coming due.

The exercise:

Write about: a wish.

If I'd thought to make myself a wish for a happy birthday today then I could say that it came true. But I did not, so I will just say that it was a pretty danged good day, especially considering it fell on a Wednesday this year.

It was my first birthday working at the RDOS and folks were extremely kind and made me feel very special.
