Sunday Matters: Getting There

Sunday Matters

Good morning! This past week was a good reading week for me. I finally finished Tom Lake. Gosh, I love that book but it was a tad slow for my recovering brain. I’m glad that I stuck with it though. Now I can move on to my next read!

Right Now:

I’ve got student ministry this morning and then the day is wide open. I really need to purge my house of medical stuff. It is a constant reminder of my time in the hospital. Maybe I can at least unpack my hospital bag.

This Week:

The Hub’s bday is this Thursday so we will celebrate on Saturday. He wants to go to Din Tai Fung and see Civil War. Have you seen Civil War? I’m not sure I can deal with a heavy, dark topic but it’s what he wants to see.

Reading:

I am starting our  next book club read, Honor.

Grateful for:

The little bursts of energy I’ve been getting. Such a change from holing up on the couch all day long.

Sunday Matters: Look! I’m back!

Sunday Matters

Hello, all! I returned to the office this week after working from home since January 10th. Recovery has its ups and downs but now the good days are outweighing the bad ones so I appear to be headed into the right direction. I’m cautious though because every time I get too cocky about recovery, something knocks me down.

My first week back in the office went fairly well. The parking situation is not great so I am still getting winded on my way back to the car. It will get better once the pulmonary embolism is fully cleared.

Right Now:

Headed to student ministry for the morning through early afternoon.

This Week:

Nothing special this week. I’m trying to limit my extracurricular activities to preserve energy.

Reading:

Hmmm. I am STILL reading Tom Lake! I really like it but I’ve been reading it since I was in the hospital. I don’t seem to be making much progress. I guess I am still too distracted but I want to finish it before moving on to something else.

Grateful for:

My ability to get in and out of the shower again! I was unable to for so long, without help. This entire journey has been a very humbling experience.
