Today is the first day of school for my boys. My husband called me an hour ago to tell me that he felt like an old man when he saw kids driving themselves to school. Yep. I felt that way two summers ago when I met cousins that I had never seen and who are now 20-something. After working with 20-somethings, I’ve come to accept and appreciate my age. Age and experience has its perks, too.

Anyway, my oldest is sitting in class right now while my youngest is still getting ready for his first day of junior high. Soon it will be very quiet in this house. My plans are to:

1. Go to the store
2. Get a newspaper (still job hunting)
3. Finish a scene I had started to rework yesterday for God’s Last Twilight.
4. Have what I want for lunch
6. Finish editing GLT so I can start designing the book tomorrow.
7. Finish the rewrite of another chapter in Prosperity.

Update: I finished the scene in GLT. The job prospects in the Bay Area are very low right now, which had me researching for writing-related careers. There are so many avenues for the writer today that it’s hard to figure out what I want to do. I’d like to do a little bit of everything. Perhaps I’ll get there eventually. Right now, I think it’s best to start off doing what I know how. With that, I’m going to work on my home page this week.

Both boys enjoyed their first day of school, although the youngest was upset over having homework on his first day.
