Sunday Matters: The End of the School Year is Approaching

Hello, again! These Sundays seems to come around quickly. We are in a heat wave here. Close to 95 degree temps this past week. I enjoy the warm weather. If summer could cap itself at 90 I would be a happy lady. Last year we had a pretty mild summer. I don’t think it once hit 120 but this year has been unpredictable. I certainly hope this early warm weather isn’t hinting at a sweltering summer.

It feels like just yesterday when I was stressing over moving the Girl to Missouri and now we are about to plan her move back. It’s all up in the air right now because we still aren’t sure about summer acting plans. We need to figure out the storage situation as she won’t be able to move into her apartment until August. Flights are always difficult with that tiny airport in Springfield. She always has to drive to another airport and she has no car so it’s a challenge. Wish us luck.

Right Now:

Student ministry is still on break but I have lunch with some of the leaders today. We are hitting up an Indian buffet and I can’t wait. Their food is yummy and I am so glad that buffets post-Covid are starting to come back.

Reading:

I finished Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love. It was a lot of fun to read about his favorite t-shirts. Seems like an odd topic but in his hands it’s always interesting. My review of Greenwich Park  posted last Friday so stop by if you missed it.

My current read is Nan Rossiter’s new one, A Good Measure. It comes out April 12th and Nan has offered me a copy to giveaway so look for that review soon.

A Good Measure

Watching:

We started Ozark. We are halfway through season one. That is one wild show.

Grateful for:

  • Booster #2. I debated getting it because of my kidney issues but ended up getting it. No issues so far.
  • Book mail. I don’t know about other bloggers but I had a dry spell for awhile and received no books for months. The other day I received two. It made me so happy.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week! My family is not on board with me cooking an Easter meal so I have no idea what we will do next weekend.

Fairy Tale by Stephen KingDid you know that Stephen King has a new book coming out September 6th? Fairy Tale sounds amazing! It comes out a day after my birthday so I must prepare now and ask for time off. Ha! 

Here’s a synopsis:

Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher—for that world or ours. ~ Indiebound

I don’t have much scheduled for this week which is how I like it. Besides some work projects, my ME time has been spent with the cat and pup. There’s a routine now and sometimes that routine involves me taking the cat with us on walks. But, the pup doesn’t like it when I have the stroller with us so my one attempt was comically observed by many neighbors. Root Beer kept throwing all her weight to the back of the stroller so it would tip over. The Otter Pup thinks she is a show off. They are both very dramatic. I have NO idea where they get that from.

I finished Greenwich Park and scheduled the review for this Friday so I immediately picked up Ocean State.  If I don’t have another book lined up I tend to get distracted so off I go to spend some time with O’Nan. I love his writing. I am curious about this one, it seems very short.

Later today I am going to go through review copies to see what’s available. That is always dangerous. I could end up with dozens of review copies but I haven’t looked lately and need to see what’s coming for summer.

That’s all I have. I hope you have a great day!
