Whatnot – 03/09/22

Root Beer the cat, looking cuteHappy Wednesday. It’s at this point in the week where I start to pine for the weekend. Just the idea of the weekend is comforting to me. This weekend we have some less than fun things to take care of but still, time off is time off. 

As you can see, Root Beer the cat has fit in quite well. The pic is a little blurry because she insists on getting so close to my phone. She and The Otter Pup are still “frens” but there was an incident where the pup got too close and got swatted at. In typically dramatic fashion, The Otter Pup fell off the couch, landed on her face, and lost a tooth. That tooth was loose anyway as she is getting older but man did she yelp. Root Beer was concerned and now the pup is more mindful of Root Beer’s whereabouts.

On Instagram the other day I saw something about Jack Kerouac. I’ve never read his work before. I’d like to but I have to catch-up on my reviews first. Perhaps that will motivate me to get through my list. Have you read his work before?

This Sunday my daughter arrives for a quick visit. She is exhausted and so homesick. She just wants to chill in her room. She is going to love Root Beer.

I am still reading The School for Good Mothers and Memorial Drive for book club. Still taking the pup and cat for walkies albeit slow. Starting to cook again but finding foods to eat after surgery has been rough.

The weather, though! So nice here!

Sunday Matters: Baby Steps

Sunday Matters

Good morning! I think I mentioned before how Root Beer the cat is addicted to phone and computer screens. Anytime we have them out, she looks for her bird videos. It’s gotten to the point where she will knock my phone out of my hand. This was initially annoying but has been a blessing because it’s forced me to put my phone away. This allowed me to finish a book! Finally. We are weaning her off the bird videos as she now has a stroller for walkies.

Root Beer's new stroller.

No big news on the job front for my son. He has had lots of interviews. He is most excited about a Denver opportunity. You have all been very sweet with the encouraging messages and some have even gone as far as sending him job opportunities. Thank you so much!

Right Now:

This was a rare week where I got to spend extra time with the students from student ministry. Yesterday we volunteered to pack meals together and today it’s week one of a new series which is pretty exciting as we head into Easter. I am about to head over there now.

This Week:

We are gearing up for my daughter’s one week return on 3/13. We will be picking her up from a distant airport since flights were ridiculous but we will make it work. She is very eager to be home for a bit.

Reading:

The School for Good Mothers. It’s a little dark and I am liking it so far.

Watching:

Still watching All of Us Are Dead. A Korean zombie show on Netflix. It’s a good mix of action, drama, and yes, even some comedy.

Grateful for:

  • SO happy to be walking again. I do a long-ish walk and then a short walk the next day so I can ease back into it.
  • My new 40 ounce Hydro Flask. I have to drink a gallon of water a day now (doctor’s order) so it helps to not have to refill so much.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!
