I have a free WordPress account but pay for a custom domain. It was brought to my attention that the ads, that display here for free, since I have a free account have gotten increasingly weird. I don’t make money off of those ads but I certainly don’t care for you all to be bombarded with ads about toenail fungus and bowel habits! I mean, it’s getting out of hand so when I renew my domain next month I am going to cough up the extra pennies to be ad free. I enjoy our interactions so I’d like to enhance the reading experience as long as it’s affordable to do so.

What’s new with you all? I’ve been super busy so my reading has taken a hit. I swear, my totals are going to be horrible this year. I am not too concerned usually about numbers but my yearly total right now is ridiculously low!

My daughter starts classes this week. She is most excited about her Singing for the Actor class. She will also be taking piano which will be good for her since she taught herself how to play by watching YouTube. Proper technique would be a plus.

My son is doing well. He really enjoys the Seattle street scene. All those outdoor concerts, but I think he attended the last one for the summer this past Thursday. Wonder what they will have for the fall. Root Beer the cat has become an influencer now. Haha. She received her first collab offer the other day.

Right Now:

We have a very busy student ministry day. Our regular services this morning and then the fall kickoff party this evening. So many activities. Sports, a paint war (is exactly what it sounds like), games, etc. It’s going to be super fun.

Reading:

Still reading The Last Chairlift. I am also reading Verity. I should be done with Verity this weekend.

Watching:

We are still working through our Korean drama series. There are just so many episodes. I saw a Netflix teaser for Manifest. A plane lands from a decade ago and the passengers have no idea what has happened. It’s very Twilight Zone and honestly, a little Stephen King. I think that will be our next show. Has anyone seen it?

Grateful for:

Dresses. This is super weird for me to admit but I am not a dress person AT ALL and lately, they are all I am buying. They are easy for work and take no effort. I’ve worn dresses more in the last two weeks than I have the last 20 years.
Frixion erasable gel pens. They are my pen of choice for Bible notes. They have a nice, fine tip, do not drag, and erase cleanly even on thin Bible pages.

Have a great Sunday!

The neighborhood. Hello, all. I am in the office today so I am missing my neighborhood walk with the pup. Our street repaving project is done. The Pup is glad. One truck in particular made the entire house shake. She was not having it. Hopefully she can catch up on her naps today.

My daughter hasn’t shared too many pics of her new pad since she is still unpacking, but what I’ve seen looks great. Classes begin next week.

After today, I will probably be wiped out again after my two days of in-person work. I swear! I have no stamina now. I’m like a delicate flower that wilts at the first sign of heat. That’s ok though. I have nothing planned for tonight.

Still reading Irving’s The Last Chairlift and Verity.

It’s been very warm here. Hovering between 102-106 with low humidity. We are normally quite dry but last week we had 45% humidity which is a lot for California. Not one drop of rain in so long. Everything is dead. LA County was told to stop watering for the entire month of September. Really puts us at risk for brush fires.

Slowly, I’ve been puttering around in the kitchen again. I do enjoy cooking but hate the shopping. Plus, there’s only two of us now. But we made steaks the other day and one night I made a meat loaf. Bye Bye vegetarian diet. Ever since the doc told me to lay off plant based anything (kidney stones) eating has been interesting. My body doesn’t know what it’s getting half the time.

No big weekend plans. Going to breakfast with friends on Saturday morning and then Sunday, my normal volunteer gig. Have a great rest of the week!

Chatting with friends about books and life…
