Sunday Matters

Every time I write up one of these posts I can’t believe it’s already Sunday again. It’s gotta be age that makes the time fly like this because I don’t remember it doing that when I was younger.

Oh, and of course we just pushed the clocks ahead which always messes me up. No problem with “fall back” but “spring forward” and I are not friendly.

Right Now:

We had a volleyball tournament yesterday so we are all wiped out but I am about to meet some folks soon so I have a few hours to perk up.

This Week:

Guys, it happened. The Girl got the part she wanted in Oliver! She is he undertaker’s wife, Mrs. Sowerberry. She gets to sing That’s Your Funeral. She is so excited! Along with that, she has rehearsals for a theatre competition, volleyball practice, etc. I’ve got life group, volunteering and all that other good stuff.

Reading:

I am still reading Future Home of the Living God. I mentioned that it was slow-going for me but I am getting into it now.

I have a book tour next week so I started Rainbirds as well. This one gets bonus points for the gorgeous cover. I am a sucker for a good cover.

Watching:

Some of my friends and co-workers have stopped watching The Walking Dead so I don’t have many people to discuss the show with anymore. That has been a bit of a downer, to be honest. However, the show is getting interesting again. It lacks that frantic pace and emotional tug that it had in previous seasons but I just want to be entertained, you know?

Last week, we watched Dunkirk. When my husband suggested it, I was like, “The Girl is not going to be interested.” But then, she WAS and in a big way. I was surprised.

Then, I wasn’t.

Any One Direction fans out there?

Making:

Guys, I’ve been cooking! I made Chicken Curry, pizza, tomato and basil pasta, and pan-fried fish. I am now craving the Pozole my friend made for our life group. Her recipe is a little bit of this and that but I included a Wiki link in case you are not familiar with what it is.

Grateful for:

The First 5 app. It’s a way to study the Bible in 5 minutes a day. I spend at least an hour in study M-F but this app is what gets the wheels turning. It’s free. They also have beautiful experience guides if you want to go a little deeper in your study. I LOVE how pretty they are. They are sold through Proverbs 31. I get nothing for this mention but I have been using that app for quite a while now.

That’s it from me. What is going on with you?

Sunday Matters

Hello, March. Funny how you crept up on me.

The weekend has been good. Yesterday, I had breakfast with a friend I haven’t seen for 34 years!! Unbelievable! It was so good to see her again . We talked as if no time had passed.

Today, I come to you worn out and tired. My iron levels are rock bottom again and I have little energy for anything. I am just wiped out but it’s not really something I can control even with rest. I don’t absorb iron so I will have to talk to the doc again about it.

Right Now:

Hey, I’m awake and upright. I call that a win.

This Week:

The final cast list for Oliver posts on Tuesday. We have a volleyball tournament on Saturday to go to and in between those two all the normal stuff I am involved in.

However, no matter how busy I am, I will make an effort to be a little more cautious about my food choices this week. Ever since we returned to the house I have been eating pseudo meals. On their own, they are healthy but piled on top of one another we are talking major calories and a lot of sugar. Protein bars and yogurt, trail mix, lots of toast with avocado. Too much. I am so over it and coupled with the low iron I feel like sludge.

Reading:

I started Future Home of the Living God. Not sure how I feel about it yet. It’s starting off very slow for me.

Watching:

I am not able to watch the Oscars tonight because I will be with the high school ministry. I may be able to watch some of the red carpet action beforehand but hopefully I’ll make it back in time for The Walking Dead. I’ll record it but if I am too late coming back I can’t stay up to watch the entire show. I wake up way too early.

Oh! I saw a trailer for this movie and I am dying. What a cast! I need to see it.

Making:

I should just take this category out. No time to cook.

Grateful for:

My tax lady. It’s a funny thing to say but she makes our life so easy by taking care of it all for us and now she does my son’s too so we are super grateful to have her.

Do you watch the Oscars? I miss the old, Hollywood glamour. It’s just not like it used to be.
