Happy Sunday, beautiful people. I really like the slower pace of summer but I do feel a little out of touch with you all. I’ve not been great with my blog reading. I will get back to that next week. I’ve been working on a project and it takes me away from my daily routine. I think I have a handle on it now, though.
What plans do you have for today? I am purposely keeping my plans simple this month as I am mentally preparing for that return to the office. There is a tiny part of me that wants to fit a lot in before I go back but after the shutdown I am easily overwhelmed by too much. I shall ease into it.
Right Now:
I have student ministry until about 1pm and then the day is wide open for lounging, reading, etc. I will enjoy my coffee and yogurt/granola bowl and head off.
Reading:
I finished It All Comes Down To This by Therese Anne Fowler. The review is here. It just didn’t work for me.
I finished Beartown. I need to write the review but I have to think about it a little more. I was really liking it and then at some point I fell out of love with it but then back to like. More thoughts later.
What will I read next? Crying in H Mart for book club. We meet this Wednesday and I really need to hop on it because I had trouble finding a copy.
Watching:
We are still watching the Korean zombie show, Sweet Home. It’s not as well done as some of the other Korean dramas we’ve watched but it’s perfect to escape into without much thought. The pup does not like the zombie sounds.
Speaking of the pup, we watched the new Pet Sematary and she really did not like that movie. Church, the cat reminded her a little too much of Root Beer.
Grateful for:
- After years of construction in my neighborhood and the streets being all torn up by large trucks, we are finally getting repaved. It makes everything look so nice and new. I hope the speed bumps go back in though because these people drive like crazy people.
- Small, crossbody bags. Ever since the big Northridge quake I’d carry around these huge bags that I could literally live off of for days. But this back of mine can’t take it anymore so those cool crossbody bags are what I tote around now and it’s enough.
Have a wonderful Sunday! I am trying to enjoy every day leading up to my return to work on 8/9. It’s coming up fast.
It’s been a minute since giving you a Root Beer update so here she is in all her glory. Every day my son takes her for a stroll around Everett, WA. They particularly like the waterfront and since it doesn’t get dark until nearly 9pm they have plenty of time to roam the neighborhood and that is what they do.
