Sunday Matters: Easter Sunday and a Time to Rest

Sunday Matters

It’s been a very strange month. My lack of energy has somehow ramped up my sense of humor and I don’t have the energy to even be embarrassed by any of it. The other day, in a meeting, I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and what did I pull out with it? A feminine product and it took me a good minute to realize I was still holding it along with my phone. No biggie.

I had to deliver two cases of soft drinks that I was donating for a dinner and instead of making two trips, because that would require too much energy, I decided to carry all 48 cans in one trip. I made it though the door but then almost passed out in the restroom. That was a wake-up call.

I am waiting on my blood work. I hope to know more about this lack of energy soon but the shortcuts that I am taking to do all things don’t surprise me at all these days.

Right Now:

Guys I am not doing anything today. We attended Easter service earlier in the week as my church has many services to attend. I do not have to be at the high school ministry tonight either so it’s me and Jesus Christ Superstar – Live.

This Week:

My daughter leaves for her choir trip on Tuesday. They are headed to Hawaii. I’ve never been and this is her first time going but what a blast, huh? Because she is gone my schedule is quiet. No rehearsals, no appointments, no practices. My life group is on break until the 17th so the whole week is mine. Well, I do have to work.

Reading:

I finished Future Home of the Living God and should have the review up soon. Very interesting read.

I am wanting to read something quiet and peaceful and was thinking of:

Walden: Life in the Woods Cover

Watching:

I recorded The Terror, which is a new series based on the book. I have yet to watch it though.

I mentioned Jesus Christ Superstar – Live but now I am wondering if it will conflict with The Walking Dead.

Making:

I am making an Apricot Glazed Ham with scalloped potatoes and a green veggie. Not sure what green veggie. I have broccoli but that does not sound good right now. I have to get more sides because The Girl is vegetarian now. What can I sub for ham?  Maybe just more sides? She is not into Tofurkey.

Grateful for:

This week I am grateful for a personal care product. My hair has been a challenge with all this vitamin deficiency stuff going on. I have tried all types of conditioners and none of them improved anythingm until Garnier’s Banana Hair Mask. The mask comes in different scents and formulas. I chose banana since I needed strengthening but it smells glorious and I hate bananas. You can use it like a regular conditioner or leave it in. It’s cheap! Under $5. I am getting nothing in return for this plug.

What’s going on with you? Anything interesting or fun?

Happy Easter!

A Case of the Wants

I like to live simply in that I don’t require much to be happy. I hardly buy anything. Ask my kids! But for three years I’ve wanted these shoes. Last year I almost bought them but then didn’t. This year I bought them but then the online retailer kicked my order out due to the new security features they implemented which made a shipping address, different from your billing address, a big no no. Hello! Porch pirates! No one ships to their homes anymore, do they?

Well, I finally bought them from a different store and I don’t care how much they cost or if they are practical. I really debated on the metallic or plain black but black is so boring. These scream summer to me!

Also on my mind are painted kitchen cabinets. Mine are stained and dark and don’t work for me. I like something like this:

I am also beginning to realize that our loft may actually become mine again soon. It was taken over by my son but he’s been gone and when he returns I am guessing it won’t be for long as he has school to finish. I love a good reading nook.

So…

I like how simple this room is. Not the colors so much. I can’t make up my mind if I like modern or more of a farmhouse style. I change my mind daily. But I can do something like this in my loft.

So lovely, do this in the den

I also want this bag by FEED. When you buy a bag, you buy school meals for hungry kids! This one provides 40 school meals.

I also want to take a trip to London but that will have to wait.

I am off today for Cesar Chavez day but I am spending some of it in the lab and radiology department. Wish me luck.
