Brain Melt

My brain has melted. Translation: I am officially done with serious thinking for the day.

It’s been a wonderful one, though. I had a virtual chat this morning with my friends Jen and Elizabeth—always a delight and fun to catch up with them. Later, Joe drove me up to Rockford to visit Megan and Oliver. Oliver and I played for most of the six hours I was there, which might explain why my brain feels like pudding. When Charlotte came home from school, Oliver was napping, so I spent some quiet time with her while she did her homework.

Megan brought me home a little after five, and I started planning and preparing my dinner. Now I’m completely worn out. Once I clean up my dishes, I’m heading upstairs with a thermos of water, ready to wind down. Something tells me I’ll fall asleep within minutes of opening my book.

It’s been a full day, and now it’s time to trade chatter for quiet pages and soft dreams.
