My second “Sunday” post in two weeks! The weather here has definitely changed. Sprinkles in the morning, cloudy and sometimes foggy. By noon though it’s back to being 80 degrees. Not a bad way to head into the next season. It’s making me want to pull out something spooky to read.

Right Now:

Today we have a double whammy of student ministry. Normal services in the morning and then we are back  tonight for some more fun which will include laser tag.

This Week:

Hoping to hear more from my doctor this week.

We will be looking at flights for my daughter because she got the week of Thanksgiving off so she will be flying down for a short visit. This is kind of cool because my son is coming for Thanksgiving too. JUST Thanksgiving. Flies in in the morning and leaves the next morning. He’s nuts.

Reading:

Finishing up Holly by Stephen King. Next up:

Watching:

Still nothing. I am starting to get into the mood to pull out some Halloween faves though.

I hope you all have a good week. I truly appreciate you all.

I didn’t intend to fall off the face of the earth but health issues can be a real joy killer. The medical professionals are still running all the tests and things pop up here and there, but nothing to explain what I am experiencing. Some days, I feel like I need a wheelchair.

My work added one more in-office day so I am in the office three days and then working remotely for the other two. This agreement is good for a year. Not gonna lie, that third day is hard for me but I am grateful that we are still able to do a hybrid schedule.

Right Now:

I am about to run off to student ministry. It remains to be one of my favorite days of the week and the students taught me how to play Uno. How pathetic. I’ve been in student ministry for over 12 years and I just learned how to play Uno. I am not terribly competitive, actually not at all but the conversations are fun while they watch the confusion in my eyes.

This Week:

Going back to the doctor on Monday for more tests.

Wednesday is book club. We are discussing The Sympathizer.

Reading:

In addition to the book club book, I am reading Holly by Stephen King. It came out on my birthday so I took a vacation day and spent the entire day reading. It was wonderful but I still have a little bit to go before I finish it. It’s a little bit of a rehash of the pandemic and so that slowed me down a little. It’s not a pleasant moment to relive.

Watching:

Absolutely nothing. I could easily live without TV. The Hub does not agree.

Well, the fam is pretty good. My daughter is rehearsing for Shakespeare in Love at Missouri State. My son is still doing well in Seattle and I am going for a short visit in October. The Hub is happy that football is back. I did not join the football pool this year. I like to just have it on in the background and not pay attention to it too much, while I lazily read a book.

I really hope you are all well. I’ve kept up with some of you via social media but I’ve been so miserable most days anything extra seems like a real stretch. I hope that changes soon.
