Sunday Matters: Looking Ahead

30 Comments

Sunday Matters

We are midway through September and it has me feeling pretty good even though some things in my world are stressing me out. I just feel better once fall hits. I start to think about the holidays and special meals and everything that goes with that part of the year.

Right Now:

My Sundays are pretty set. Not much different this morning except that I went bowling last night and my body hurts all over. Yes, bowling does that to me since I do it so infrequently but volleyball had a fundraiser so all four of us went.

This Week:

The Girl is still benched but she has been cleared to begin the phased protocol that takes place before her return to play. She won’t be able to play games this week but I still have to work the snack bar for one of those games.

I have life group on Tuesday. Flu shot clinic on Saturday.

I didn’t mention it last weekend but I was invited by Kaiser to join a pilot nutrition program called Omada. We are placed in teams of 16, we track our food with photos (interesting), weigh-in daily and have a personal coach. Every time I weigh-in, this smart scale sends it right to my coach. No way to fib. I committed to four months. I want to lose at least twenty pounds. We’ll see.

Reading:

I am about to finish The Bar Harbor Retirement Home for Famous Writers (And Their Muses): A Novel. 

For my next read, I want something really good. Any suggestions?

Watching:

Still watching Fear the Walking Dead but once again it’s petering out and a lot of nothing is going on.

American Horror Story started up again this past Wednesday and I really don’t know what to think.

Making:

With this new program I am on, meals have been pretty simple. I’m still craving seafood. I just cannot get enough of it.  Salmon and sushi have been faves. I don’t make the sushi but you get the idea. I am probably lacking some vital nutrient for me to be craving so much seafood.

Grateful for:

I’m happy that fall is coming. I love all of it. The football, the holidays, everything.

Tell me something about your week? Anything you are looking forward to?

Sunday Matters: Sometimes It’s Just Too Much

28 Comments

Sunday Matters

This will be brief. After my nice relaxing time off, I returned to work and it’s been nothing but go go go. REALLY hard to keep up this week. I don’t try to be perfect but I give up.

Right Now:

About to head out the door to church. I did my grocery shopping online so I don’t have to do that. When I get back, I’ll have a little time to read before heading out the door again later.

This Week:

There’s a parent meeting for theatre on Monday night so I will skip my volunteer gig that night.

On Tuesday my life group starts up again.

I am still waiting for The Girl to be cleared to play again. Concussions and getting them back in the game is a really drawn-out process. I am 100% sure that her concussion was more like a head cold. She happened to get hit with one right after she got hit in the head. Symptoms are more cold-related to me. But, we shall wait.

Reading:

I finished Fierce Kingdom and it was so good. Review coming soon. I also finished Exit West. Interesting read. I started The Bar Harbor Retirement Home for Famous Writers (And Their Muses). It’s gotten some mixed reviews but I’m enjoying it so far.

Watching:

Fear the Walking Dead has been pretty good. Maybe a little slow but good. American Horror Story starts up again this week. I can’t wait!

Making:

I need to take this category out.

Grateful for:

Time off. Even though I was dealing with a screaming teen (headache and all), it was still enjoyable. Oh, and I am grateful for hitting a milestone birthday last Wednesday. The number really gave me anxiety but I am okay now that I am over it.

What do you have planned for the week?
