Whatnot – 09/28/22

7 Comments

Cormac McCarthy books.Hello, friends. How are you? I am totally getting into the idea of Autumn even though it’s still over 100 here. This past weekend I went looking for the perfect fall candle but did not find it. All the candles this year smell very artificial. What is your favorite candle brand? Mine is Capri Blue but I burn through them pretty fast and they are pricey.

I’ve received many buzzy books lately. Those two above are the newest from Cormac McCarthy. It’s hard to get through so many buzzy books when you also want to linger in them for a really long time. Today I brought my Kindle to work so I can put a dent in some of my review reading. If alone, I can read quite a bit over lunch.

Are you a Hocus Pocus fan? When I first saw  it years ago I didn’t get the hype. But now, I am totally into it and it really feels like fall when I watch it. I believe Hocus Pocus 2 is out this weekend so I must plan a re-watch before then. I think it’s sweet that all the main actors returned for it.

I am headed into fall fully boosted with the new vaccine and tacked on my flu shot for good measure. I do not need the creeping crud of any variety, especially since we will be traveling before Thanksgiving.

Tonight, after work, I am going to sit down and plan an event that I’ve been thinking about. These days, if I am not very intentional with my planning then it doesn’t happen.

That’s really all I have. If I can get a review written I will schedule it for later this week. Take care!

Sunday Matters: Adjusting

Good morning, friends. I’ve been in the strangest mood. I feel a little scatterbrained and unhinged, if I am being honest. There is nothing going on except me getting used to being back in the office. I just need to get a grip and move on.

Luna the cat had 5 kittens. She is a good little mama. All the kittens are black except for one tabby and he, I think he is a he, is a pistol. Beating up on all the others and stealing the best nursing spots. He is the most vocal too. He has a lot of personality.

Root Beer the cat continues to live well in the Pacific Northwest. She, too, has become quite the character. Both kids tell me these are the only “grandkids” I will ever have. I am Mee-maw to the kitties.

The temps dropped here. The high yesterday was 82 and it was lovely. Cool mornings, golden sunshine, blue skies. It feels like fall. Thank God.

Right Now:

Heading to student ministry in a bit. I am hosting the game today! Right after we meet, we are heading to the beach for baptisms. We have nine students getting baptized. Beach baptisms are always super popular but man, that water is cold.

Reading:

I am reading Lemon. It’s very good.

Watching:

Not much. We started the new season of Cobra Kai. It did not start well. Kind of boring.

Grateful for:

  • Cooler weather has put me in a clothes buying mood which never happens. I just purchased a few fall tops. Feels good to be a grown-up again.
  • Follow-up appts. I hate going to the doctor but my follow-up ultrasound for the breast lump is tomorrow. Hope it hasn’t changed and this time, I hope they decide to take it out.

Have a great Sunday!
