The exercise:
Write four lines of prose about being: lost in the rhythm.
Put my headphones on and turned the music up this afternoon and just focused on getting the minutes done. Wasn't as bad as I'd feared it would be, but the Directors certainly could have made my life easier than they did.

The exercise:
Write about something that is: interminable.
Man, that was a long day at work. Not looking forward to polishing up the meeting minutes tomorrow.
I did ask my boss if I could leave them for my replacement to do but she didn't seem too keen on the idea...

The exercise:
Write about: running around.
Busy day getting ready for the Board meetings tomorrow. They're mostly back to attending in-person, so I'm expecting 14 of the 19 Directors to be there.
Quite the change from the 3 that attended the first meeting after I started working there in January.

The exercise:
Write two haiku about: two for one.
Now that I'm working in Penticton and the boys are a five minute walk from school, we don't really need two vehicles any more. The van has barely been used the last couple of months. I'm also going to start biking to work a few times a week now that the weather is more agreeable to such things.
So, after plenty of looking and waiting for the right deal, we went in to the local Nissan dealership on Saturday and traded in the Pontiac Montana and the Kia Rio for a 2016 Nissan Rogue:
If the van wasn't wearing down we probably would have just sold the car. And while I would have preferred to keep the car it just wasn't big enough to be our only vehicle.
So here we are, back down to one for the first time in five years, with all the savings that involves, and it is shiny and new and red and we're all quite happy with it.
