Whatnot – 03/16/22

The Otter Pup and Root Beer, Napping

This has been a pretty warm week. Yesterday was 80 and today is expected to be close to that. I am not ready for the extreme heat that the next few months will bring. My daughter is loving it though. She has just been chilling in her room, watching movies, resting, etc. She heads back Saturday. My son continues to interview. It’s hard for his age group right now. The cost of living is a deciding factor with most of these interviews. If you can’t afford to pay rent on the salary being offered that’s an issue. Something will turn up. I’d rather he keep looking than accept something that won’t work.

Hey, tonight we have book club and we will be discussing Memorial Drive. We are meeting in person so I am very excited! Many of you told me it was an amazing read and you were not wrong. I’ve been feeling a little cooped up lately so it will be good to get out.

I’ve been trying to catch-up with my blog reading but if you have been reading a “must read” book, let me know what it is so I can add it to my list.

In regards to that ultrasound I had on Monday, the lump has not grown or changed. I have to go back in another six months and if it’s changed at all it will be biopsied. I would rather them just biopsy it.

That’s all I have. I hope the week is treating you all well. It’s still a weird time, isn’t it? Masks coming off and yet China is in lockdown again.

Sunday Matters: The Girl Is Here!

Sunday Matters

Good morning! My daughter was supposed to fly in tonight but due to weather and her campus closing for snow, we switch her flight so she could come in this past Friday. Gives her a little extra time. She is loving visiting with The Otter Pup and Root Beer the cat. No big plans while she is here besides a good haircut. She just wants to chill.

As for my son, he continues to interview. Right now the most promising opportunities are for Denver and Kansas City.

Right Now:

Coffee. Breakfast. Off to student ministry. I might try to sneak a chapter in before I go.

This Week:

Not a lot scheduled but this Monday I do have a follow-up ultrasound for a lump that was found four months ago. The radiologist was pretty convinced it’s benign but wants to check for growth now that a few months have passed. Hoping it’s gone, to be honest.

Reading:

The School for Good Mothers. Although I might be done with it by the time you read this. Also reading Memorial Drive for club.

Memorial Drive

Watching:

We finished All of Us Are Dead. Looking forward to Season 2. Supposedly they have a green light to start filming.

Grateful for:

  • Books that  instantly pull me in.
  • This is super dumb but I discovered Chick Fil A’s gluten free egg and cheese sandwich. Makes for a nice breakfast now and then.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!
