I’ve had a couple of posts brewing in the back of my head lately.

I’m really wanting to write about my surprise that my first born is turning 8, and all that it implies. It seems like the tween years are nearly upon us, somehow. She’s so … sophisticated for her age. This can be delightful at times, but at other times the eye-rolling and “yeah whatever” can be off-putting. Also, am I the only one around here who’s already tired of her birthday and it’s not even come yet?

I also wanted to write about, um, something. Uh, what was it?

You see, I’ve been thwarted from writing over the course of the last several days. I don’t recall all the reasons, but often it was because someone else was using my computer.

And now — JUST NOW — I am thwarted because my computer just let me know that it’s tired and would like to recharge its batteries or else it’s just going to sleep.

Which is what I should probably do, too. In the meantime, I will try to gather my thoughts and save them for later.
