Sunday Matters

Good morning! This past week was a good reading week for me. I finally finished Tom Lake. Gosh, I love that book but it was a tad slow for my recovering brain. I’m glad that I stuck with it though. Now I can move on to my next read!

Right Now:

I’ve got student ministry this morning and then the day is wide open. I really need to purge my house of medical stuff. It is a constant reminder of my time in the hospital. Maybe I can at least unpack my hospital bag.

This Week:

The Hub’s bday is this Thursday so we will celebrate on Saturday. He wants to go to Din Tai Fung and see Civil War. Have you seen Civil War? I’m not sure I can deal with a heavy, dark topic but it’s what he wants to see.

Reading:

I am starting our next book club read, Honor.

Grateful for:

The little bursts of energy I’ve been getting. Such a change from holing up on the couch all day long.

Sunday Matters

Last month I shared a Life Update and since then I’ve been anxiously waiting for these two surgeries to be scheduled. They are next week, 1/9 and 1/10. Cannot wait. It’s weird to be eager for brain surgery but let’s go.

These steroids to control swelling have kept me up for two weeks. No sleep but I am not even tired. Just a little on edge.

I would appreciate prayers heading into this, good thoughts, all of it. Prayers that it is benign. Smooth recovery and no complications. My daughter will be down for the surgeries but has to be back at school on 1/15.

In the meantime I’m reading and just resting. This last week a few more symptoms popped up. I’m isolating to avoid COVID too. That is the last thing I need.

Have a great weekend. It’s cold here but I am cozy and well.
