Sunday Matters: The Sophomore Is In The House

5 Comments

sunday-matters (1)

My daughter is back. The end of her freshman year brought challenges but she made it through. As soon as she landed we got a good meal into her. The least we can do since she has to begin prep for a procedure very soon. When we got home, she went right into her room to watch a movie and listen to Harry’s House, the new album by Harry Styles. The Otter Pup was thrilled to see her and has been camping out outside her door each morning until she wakes.

Right Now:

Student ministry is meeting today so I will be leaving for that soon. Today, we are celebrating the seniors. What a quick year this has been. After that, we will grab a late lunch and maybe even wrap up Ozark.

Reading:

My current read is French Braid by Anne Tyler.

French Braid

Watching:

If we are lucky, we will finish Ozark, Season 4 today.

Grateful for:

  • The Girl being home. So happy she can see the doc soon.
  • Being able to take longer walks. I keep pushing myself a bit more each day and I am starting to see more improvements with my knee.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!

The Otter Pup at home.The one thing the pup loves is when I am sitting in one place reading. She prefers Kindle reading so that my one hand is free to give her belly rubs. In this photo I am trying to negotiate with her because I need to get up and as you can see, she is not having it. 

How is everyone doing? We are living in trying times. The news, if you watch or read it, hasn’t been great of late and I know many coming down with COVID again. Some, dealing with long term effects too. I do my best to avoid it and to my knowledge, so far I’ve been successful but with the numbers rising it’s getting harder to remain vigilant. Also, many with COVID are choosing not to stay home.

On a happy note, tomorrow my daughter comes home! She was also just cast as Puck in the fall musical at MSU. This is great news given that she auditioned for the fall season in pain and was not well.

I’ve started fleshing out my summer reading list. Right now it’s just a note on my phone but soon I will share it. Mostly, it’s just what I want to read this summer and hopefully will keep me motivated because I lost my reading juju after that kidney surgery and although it’s back now, I am way behind on my reading.

I am so excited for fall reading too. So many books coming out. A new King, a new Kingsolver, a new McEwan. A new one by Celeste Ng and John Irving. I am screaming over here!

Have a good week! The weekend is nearly here.
