It was not my intention to take a mini break from the blog but I guess that’s what I did. Everything is fine. I started meds for all of my auto-immune issues and it’s taking a little bit of time to get used to them. To distract myself I’ve been diving into my books whenever I can.
My son came down on Thursday for a few days and we just dropped him and his cat Root Beer off at the airport. It was a really nice visit. As you can imagine, the Otter Pup just loved seeing her cousin again.
Right Now:
I am about to hang with the students at student ministry and then later today we have a special event so I will be back there after a much needed nap.
This Week:
I am hosting book club this Wednesday. We will be discussing Nightcrawling. What a brutal book but I really enjoyed it. The author does an excellent job of creating a sense of place and the characters are so believable.
On Saturday, I am having a few friends over for a BBQ. That will be fun. Still trying to figure out what I will make.
Reading:
I scored a review copy of The Cabinet of Dr. Leng by Preston and Child so I am reading that along with Demon Copperhead, my next club pick. I also received a copy of Beth Moore’s new memoir, All My Knotted Up Life. I am REALLY excited for this book.
Watching:
- I really want to see Jesus Revolution but movie times are scare where I am. Soon. I will catch it soon.
Grateful for:
- Opportunities to speak at student ministry. It went well, guys!
- The successful run of my daughter’s show at MSU. We didn’t get to see her this time but she said it was a great experience. She now has a callback for Prom, the musical.
- FaceTime with the kids and kitties.
What are you looking forward to this week?
Book Chatter 
Just taking it easy as it comes , otherwise my blood pressure goes up! Age does that to retirees, lol.
Have a good week!
I hope you can get adjusted to the meds. I am so tired. I hate the time change. I tried to take it easy on Sunday, but I don’t think that helped much with the time change.
Hope you get adjusted to the new meds soon… that can be tough. I’m looking forward to reading Demon Copperhead, maybe in April. Glad you enjoyed the visit with your son.
I hope your body adjusts to the meds soon.
I’m looking forward to your review of Demon Copperhead.
It sounds like your daughter is doing really well and thriving at college, that always feels so good. And how great that your son came down for a visit (and he brought the cat!).
I hope your medications kick in and do their job, changing doses and meds is never easy. Be safe in the current round of rain; I am in Mexico and missing it all.
We had a really nice visit and the pup and cat got along much better than Jinx and the pup did. I beat the rain into work this morning but it’s coming down now.
I’m glad your daughter is doing well with her shows. My book club is also reading Demon Copperhead for our next discussion at the end of May. I hope I like it. It seems like it will have a lot of adversity, which I’m hope is not overly overly redundant. Hmm. Enjoy your week.
