Whatnot – 10/26/22

Chloe smiling.It finally feels like fall!! It was a crisp 48 degrees when I got in the car this morning. It’s been a little windy though which is never good when everything is so dry. The Pup and I have not been able to take our walks due to my knee injuries but they are improving every day so maybe a short walk would be okay this weekend. This is how she looks when she is trying to guilt me into taking her.

Guys, my reading has been going well!!! I need to review My Name is Lucy Barton, One of the Girls, and The IT Girl.  I can hopefully get those written up this week.

Can you believe that Halloween is on Monday? We bought our candy early and if we run out, we run out. The cost of candy is what is was last year, about $18 a bag. We got four which is two less than normal and I think this year will be epic with everything feeling very normal again but whatever we have, will have to be enough or we will shut it all down and eat chili. LOL.

Weekend plans. I think we might have breakfast in Old Town Pasadena and then head to my favorite bookstore on Saturday. If that happens, I need to make a list of books that I want to buy because I always go blank once I enter a bookstore. And, I have been known to buy a book twice. I haven’t read a classic in a really long time. Maybe I’ll pick up a classic.

Our trip to Missouri is coming up in a few weeks. We are excited about that. It’s confusing how they assigned understudies though. My daughter is a lead but she is the understudy for the other lead. I hope we can see her in her actual role. I’m trying to get her to get a booster and flu shot before then but it’s very hard to get adult children to take care of that stuff.

That’s all I have. I hope you are all doing well!

Sunday Matters: I Will Survive

Sunday Matters

Don’t mind me over here, being all dramatic but it’s hard having two injured knees. All the over-compensating wears me out and leaves me totally exhausted. Hopefully I will see some improvement soon. No fractures but torn everything. Soft tissue injuries are a beast.

Right Now:

A quick bite to eat and I am off to student ministry. Later, a long nap on the couch.

This Week:

I have a few small appointments this week but my evenings are good and wide open. REST and reading. That’s my plan.

Reading:

I finished My Name is Lucy Barton for book club and it was very good. I need to review it. When I picked it up I didn’t realize there are two other books out with the same character. I’m happy to have a couple more books to read because I really liked it.

Right now I am reading One of the Girls by Lucy Clarke and it’s very good.

One of the Girls

Watching:

We watched Halloween Ends, the latest in the Halloween franchise. It was not good. If you want to see how Michael Myers can be  turned into a side-kick in his own  movie, then give it a look.

Grateful for:

  • Stōk cold brew coffee in a bottle. Makes a nice late afternoon pick me up without spending a wad of cash.
  • My back patio. I don’t have all the outdoor furniture that I’d like but it’s a pleasant spot to spend some time.

Have a great week!
