My laptop kind a broke. Fixing it involves taking EVERYTHING off of it and backing it up which is a time consuming process.
I spent much of the week making a very involved fall school schedule for Zoe involving graph paper, and highlighters (cause I have no computer.)
Writing on my book is mostly on hold (because I have no computer) so I have been reading some library books and making notes in a college lined spiral notebook (so oldschool!)
I have many things to post. The book The Gifted Adult by Mary-Elaine Jacobsen... it is all that and a bag of chips. Really. My only complaint is that I wish there were more, like a workbook or something.
Zoe... oh sweet Zoe. She has made one of those noticable jumps in intelligence/maturity that gifted kids make yet are still astounding everytime. Her vocabulary amazed me. She is getting even more self-reflective. Her sense of humor is fraktastic. She is always always always thinking, creating, plotting, experiencing life... all to be so young again.
Not that I am so old. But sometimes my back feels like I'm 100, hence the beer and pain meds.
We went to the zoo Thursday.

That's great that everything is going well with Z. The book sounds helpful. I'll probably read it at some point, but am swamped.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your laptop. I hope you can recover everything soon. Sometimes colleges offer a slightly better price.
Recently we had an 7- year old Mac die. My spouse bought a Time Capsule from Apple. He retrieved the data, and backs up all our computers, even his PC (except for dd's with a broken disc drive).
I love your photo of the bird. Is it a flamingo?
I just has to post. I've also noticed that jump in the boys. Most recently, it was Kipp, my middle son. As always, it's a joy to watch these kids blossom into what I can't help but believe will be amazing adults.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the computer woes. Such a royal pain when it happens.
The bird is just a great shot. It would make a great postcard.
Heehee. This bird is adorable.
