Sunday Matters: Starting Over

Sunday Matters

Good morning! It’s been really nice in my part of Southern California. Cool in the mornings and evenings but nice and sunny for most of the day. Makes me feel optimistic for spring.

Right Now:

Enjoying some coffee and avocado toast before I head to student  ministry. My son picked up some “hot honey” with green chiles when he drove through New Mexico and it is so good on my toast.

This Week:

My campus is not closed on President’s Day so I will be working tomorrow. No long weekend for me. Hope those of you that have it off make the most of it.

This week I am re-doing all my “to be read” lists because they are terribly out of date and I fell so behind after my surgery. I am going to start fresh and stop talking about it and just get on it. I have so many books that I want to get to. Big releases and the like. This will also give me something to occupy my hands and brain since I am a little antsy these days.

On a sad note, my BIL passed away the day before Valentine’s Day. It was a combination of things but it was a sudden trip to the hospital and then a coma from there. My husband is now the only child. He lost his other brother a few years ago from something similar that runs in the family. Not sure about a service yet.

Reading:

The School for Good Mothers.

Watching:

Still watching All of Us Are Dead. A Korean zombie show on Netflix. It is perfect for me right now. Entertaining. Besides the subtitles it requires little brain activity to watch.

All of Us Are Dead

Grateful for:

  • The Otter Pup and how gracious she has been to Root Beer the cat. She gets a little bossy now and then but she really likes her! She is so close to napping with her.
  • This is kind of silly but we had new bathroom faucets put in and I love them. We were dealing with slow leaks and they were so old we couldn’t get replacement parts so we bought the faucets and had them switched out. Finally.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!

Whatnot – 02/16/22

Otter Pup and Root BeerGood morning! My son arrived from Kansas on Sunday and believe it or not, the Otter Pup and Root Beer are getting along pretty well. Root Beer is totally at home and jumping on everything, including the TV. The Otter Pup puts her in her place now and then when it looks like she is having too much fun. The pup doesn’t like it when anyone is too happy. I wouldn’t say that the pup is jealous but she did not like it when my husband called Root Beer “BABY” because that is what we call the pup. Lesson learned. 

This week, I am still functioning at less than 100% but every day is much better. Trying to focus on nutrition because I’m pretty weak but to be honest, I am not doing great in that area. Most of the foods I eat are on the “no eat” list for kidney stones. Spinach, nuts and nut butters, beets, almond milk, tofu, etc. I don’t know what to eat and nothing sounds good.

Reading is going a little better for me but man, I am so behind. At least nine books behind. I did download an audio book to try. Perhaps I can listen while taking my walks, although they are pretty short at the moment.

I have not been able to keep up with blog reading but I hope to catch-up next week. I hope you are all doing well and for those of you who checked on me all these weeks, thank you so much. I really appreciated the kind words and encouragement. Have a great week!
