Sunday Matters: Sometimes It’s Just Too Much

Sunday Matters

This will be brief. After my nice relaxing time off, I returned to work and it’s been nothing but go go go. REALLY hard to keep up this week. I don’t try to be perfect but I give up.

Right Now:

About to head out the door to church. I did my grocery shopping online so I don’t have to do that. When I get back, I’ll have a little time to read before heading out the door again later.

This Week:

There’s a parent meeting for theatre on Monday night so I will skip my volunteer gig that night.

On Tuesday my life group starts up again.

I am still waiting for The Girl to be cleared to play again. Concussions and getting them back in the game is a really drawn-out process. I am 100% sure that her concussion was more like a head cold. She happened to get hit with one right after she got hit in the head. Symptoms are more cold-related to me. But, we shall wait.

Reading:

I finished Fierce Kingdom and it was so good. Review coming soon. I also finished Exit West. Interesting read. I started The Bar Harbor Retirement Home for Famous Writers (And Their Muses). It’s gotten some mixed reviews but I’m enjoying it so far.

Watching:

Fear the Walking Dead has been pretty good. Maybe a little slow but good. American Horror Story starts up again this week. I can’t wait!

Making:

I need to take this category out.

Grateful for:

Time off. Even though I was dealing with a screaming teen (headache and all), it was still enjoyable. Oh, and I am grateful for hitting a milestone birthday last Wednesday. The number really gave me anxiety but I am okay now that I am over it.

What do you have planned for the week?

Sunday Matters: A Little Rest

Sunday Matters

This will be brief because with the long weekend and all, I am going to take a break and do nothing. Plus, I tacked on a few extra days to celebrate my birthday! It’s a milestone birthday for me and I am all over the place with how I feel about it. It’s not until Wednesday but it’s looming.

Right Now:

I plan to eat a huge breakfast, drink tons of coffee and read.

This Week:

Back to school night is this week. It’s high school and many parents don’t go  but The Girl’s choir performs and I like to meet the teachers to get a sense for what will be expected throughout the year. Personality tells you a lot.

There is also one volleyball game and book club and I still haven’t read the book.

Reading:

I guess I will be reading my book club book. Exit West.

Watching:

When I have time to watch TV I usually tune in to home improvement shows like Fixer Upper. I also like shows about purchasing beach front properties. Cooking shows are a comfort to me but are there any good ones anymore?

Making:

Don’t plan to make a thing. However, somewhere in the plan there needs to be a really good burger.

Grateful for:

Long weekends and extra days off.

What do you have planned for today or tomorrow, if you are lucky enough to have it off?
