Whatnot – 03/23/22

8 Comments

My neighborhoodMy days are blurring together lately. Monday hits and then bam, it’s Friday and I have little recollection of how I got there. These Wednesday posts always seem to come out of nowhere but at least they remind me what day it is.

How are you all doing? I’ve been enjoying the fresh air lately and the scent of flowers blooming. The other day we had some light rain and everything was so fresh and green afterward but today and the next few days it’s supposed to be quite warm so I’ve got the windows open right now.

Hey, I’ve been cooking here and there. I haven’t really done much of that these past few months but with my son here, we’ve been eating out a lot and I am over it. That whole “what to eat?” conversation gets old. Fast. I’ve been making simple meals but it’s good to be eating home cooked food again.

I finished some books so now I need to get those reviews written. My goal is to have them scheduled for the end of this week and the beginning of next. That’s is the plan. I am so easily distracted by world events that anything can happen but both were good reads so I am eager to talk about them.

My neighbor down the street added a Little Library for kids. It’s so cute. There are books and toys in there. The pup and I checked it out the other day. So now I have two neighbors on my walk with Little Libraries. I REALLY want one of my own.

That’s it from me. Have a great rest of the week!

Sunday Matters: Back To Missouri She Goes

10 Comments

Sunday Matters

Well, that week flew by. My daughter headed back yesterday. It was a good visit. She got the rest she needed and it was really nice for us to be together again. Cat and dog included.

As for my son, no updates on the job front.

Right Now:

I am getting ready to head to student ministry. I’m also trying to figure out my next read. I actually finished another book! Progress.

This Week:

I don’t have much this week, except I was asked to be on two award panels for work so there will be some meetings for that and a  lot of reading as I go through the submissions.

Since it’s been so nice lately I am feeling the urge to BBQ something. I’m so conflicted though because one surgeon gave me a list of all these foods I can no longer eat and nearly everything on it was part of my vegetarian diet. The other one couldn’t metabolically find a cause for the kidney issues so he recommended nothing. Not too pleased with how that all went down.

Reading:

I finished The School for Good Mothers and  Memorial Drive so I am on the lookout my next read. I have no shortage of review copies to get to but I must be in the right mood for some of them or I will hit a wall. Once I get back from church I plan to spend the afternoon reading whatever I choose.

Watching:

Looking for a new show to watch. Perhaps, Pieces of Her.

Grateful for:

  • Nap time with the cat and pup.
  • My church and the circle of friends I’ve made there.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week! We survived the time change. Actually, I wasn’t too bad off this time around. Usually Spring Forward messes me up for days.
