Sunday Matters: She’s Here!

Sunday Matters

Hello and good morning! My daughter arrived late Wednesday night. Her flight was very delayed which gave her like 5 minutes to make her connecting flight. It was a real nail biter. Thank GOD she had a classmate on the plane who lives in Atlanta and was familiar with the airport because she needed to hop on the subway to get to next flight. That girl ran with her all the way. She got there with a minute to spare. The nice thing, last one on the plane = first bags off the plane. We got home at 1am after a run through a restaurant drive-thru.

Friday night we saw Hamilton!

Right Now:

Student ministry is breaking until January 9th so I have my Sunday mornings to lounge around and be lazy.

Tonight we have tickets to see The Band’s Visit. Closing night, and Emma really wanted to catch it while in town. Cancellation emails are on the rise with Omicron so I keep checking for updates.

This Week:

Tele-appointment with the urologist over the kidney stone debacle on Monday.

Tuesday, physical therapy for the knee.

Wednesday, shopping for whatever I will be cooking for Christmas dinner. The kids are pushing me to make a reservation somewhere but it’s always so crowded and it would be nice to just be together.

Reading:

Still reading this. Slowly.

Greenwich Park

Watching:

We watched Christmas Vacation and then nothing. My kids saw the new Spider Man and they highly recommend it.

I am on episode #3 of “And Just Like That” and it’s getting better. Slowly but the writing is a little lazy. I wanted more for those characters.

Grateful for:

  • A nice warm house to cozy up in. It’s been so cold here.
  • My time off. I do love this time of the year.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!

Whatnot – 12/15/21

Reese's pop-up book shop!Good morning! Today is the day that The Girl makes her way back to California. If all goes well, we pick her up late tonight from LAX! We’ve been telling The Otter Pup all week long that her sis sis is coming home and she keeps looking for her. We are all pretty excited to see her. 

In other news, last weekend I visited Reese’s pop-up Book Club shop at the Westfield Century City mall. It’s so cute and fun. I didn’t buy anything because after looking at the shelves I realized I’ve already read most of the books. It was so fun though. They made us cappuccinos and showed us the secret door full of books.

Then, we had lunch at Eataly!! What a great experience. I had the best gluten free pizza! The Hub had a broccoli rabe sausage pasta that he said was very good. Look at that bright green.

I still need to write up my review of Dune. Still.

On my lunch break today I go in for cortisone shots for my knee. The doc is trying this first, to see if reducing the inflammation is all that I need because the meniscus is shredded. There is nothing he can do for it besides removing it and then I would have no cushioning at all. The ACL he is hoping will improve with reduced inflammation.

Anyway, I may be busy with The Girl back at home but I will do my best to finish up my reviews and pop in for updates.

Have a great rest of the week and stay safe out there!
