Sunday Matters: It’s All Pretty Good

6 Comments

Sunday Matters

I’ve been feeling a little “meh” but I really can’t complain. Everything is pretty good. Just trying to get my walks in and get my nutrition back on track. Spring and Fall are my favorite times to get outside. The pup has a a blown muscle in her leg. I swear, she cannot be more like me as far as injuries and ailments go so we are taking short walks and helping her jump up when needed.

It’s cute how the pup and cat care for each other. The other day Root Beer started to sing. SING. So weird and then tossed her cookies. The pup was very concerned. They take turns fussing over each other.

Right Now:

I am about to head out the door to church. This is the last time J High and High School will meet until 4/24. It will be spring break for the school districts here and then Easter festivities so the break will be nice. When I get home around 1:30pm, we will grab a late lunch and then maybe a nap, maybe a few chapters on the couch.

Reading:

I am reading Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love. Murakami is known for collecting things, mostly his numerous records but he also collects T-shirts that mean something to him. This is a collection of essays, if you will, about his favorite shirts! It’s fun and different. I am enjoying these short pieces.

Watching:

I can’t find anything for us all to watch. Yet.

Grateful for:

  • My son’s part time gig at the local performing arts center. Something to do while continuing to look for full-time opportunities. As Martha Stewart would say, it’s a good thing.
  • Early morning reflection time.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week! We are due for some real rain tomorrow (so they say). We could really use it.

Sunday Matters: Back To Missouri She Goes

10 Comments

Sunday Matters

Well, that week flew by. My daughter headed back yesterday. It was a good visit. She got the rest she needed and it was really nice for us to be together again. Cat and dog included.

As for my son, no updates on the job front.

Right Now:

I am getting ready to head to student ministry. I’m also trying to figure out my next read. I actually finished another book! Progress.

This Week:

I don’t have much this week, except I was asked to be on two award panels for work so there will be some meetings for that and a  lot of reading as I go through the submissions.

Since it’s been so nice lately I am feeling the urge to BBQ something. I’m so conflicted though because one surgeon gave me a list of all these foods I can no longer eat and nearly everything on it was part of my vegetarian diet. The other one couldn’t metabolically find a cause for the kidney issues so he recommended nothing. Not too pleased with how that all went down.

Reading:

I finished The School for Good Mothers and  Memorial Drive so I am on the lookout my next read. I have no shortage of review copies to get to but I must be in the right mood for some of them or I will hit a wall. Once I get back from church I plan to spend the afternoon reading whatever I choose.

Watching:

Looking for a new show to watch. Perhaps, Pieces of Her.

Grateful for:

  • Nap time with the cat and pup.
  • My church and the circle of friends I’ve made there.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week! We survived the time change. Actually, I wasn’t too bad off this time around. Usually Spring Forward messes me up for days.
