Whatnot – 02/16/22

Otter Pup and Root BeerGood morning! My son arrived from Kansas on Sunday and believe it or not, the Otter Pup and Root Beer are getting along pretty well. Root Beer is totally at home and jumping on everything, including the TV. The Otter Pup puts her in her place now and then when it looks like she is having too much fun. The pup doesn’t like it when anyone is too happy. I wouldn’t say that the pup is jealous but she did not like it when my husband called Root Beer “BABY” because that is what we call the pup. Lesson learned. 

This week, I am still functioning at less than 100% but every day is much better. Trying to focus on nutrition because I’m pretty weak but to be honest, I am not doing great in that area. Most of the foods I eat are on the “no eat” list for kidney stones. Spinach, nuts and nut butters, beets, almond milk, tofu, etc. I don’t know what to eat and nothing sounds good.

Reading is going a little better for me but man, I am so behind. At least nine books behind. I did download an audio book to try. Perhaps I can listen while taking my walks, although they are pretty short at the moment.

I have not been able to keep up with blog reading but I hope to catch-up next week. I hope you are all doing well and for those of you who checked on me all these weeks, thank you so much. I really appreciated the kind words and encouragement. Have a great week!

Sunday Matters: Football and Food

Sunday Matters

Even though today is a big day for football, I still have student ministry so I have food cooking away in the Crock Pot for later. I’ve recently gotten into football after getting looped into a football pool. I don’t bet real money but it’s made watching more enjoyable. We may even have a guest if my son arrives home from Kansas in time. We are keeping the food simple. Tacos, chips, guacamole, dips.

Right Now:

Enjoying some coffee and granola before heading out.

This Week:

Monday is Valentine’s Day but we have nothing planned. It will probably be more of the same, take-out and some Netflix. Perfectly fine by me.

Reading:

Just starting The School for Good Mothers. REALLY hoping it sparks something in me because reading has been so hard lately.

Watching:

We have been sucked into Korean programming of late. The show we are watching now is All of Us Are Dead. A Korean zombie show on Netflix. If you doubt Koreans and their ability to pull off a zombie movie check out Train to Busan. One of my all time faves.

Grateful for:

  • That my son can spend some time at home while he figures out his next move.
  • That I am finally feeling better and can enjoy the weekend.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!
