February isn’t normally a busy month for me, but it is this year. Since COVID, I try not to book more than three things during the week, but so far, that has been more of a dream than a reality. I’ve also been battling some health issues and depending on which doctor I see, new tests are added so they have me running back and forth to the lab a lot. I have an appointment to assess all the results mid-month so I should have answers soon.

Little Jinxy was spayed this week! Her mama says she is doing well. She will be 5 months on the 11th.  This was taken right after surgery.

Right Now:

A quick bite to eat and then I am off to see the students. Today is baptism day and we do have a few students signed up to take the plunge. It’s exciting and it’s fun to celebrate with them.

This Week:

On Friday the 10th, my church is hosting Tim Tebow’s Night to Shine, a prom event for those with special needs. This will be my third time serving at this event. This time, I am on the corsage/boutonniere team.  I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful it is to see these happy guests. It’s really an amazing night. Looking forward to it.

On Saturday night I am going to a choir concert to see some of our students.  I had a bday party to go to too but it got cancelled.

Reading:

I finished Exiles. Review should be up soon.  Next up, Black Cake for book club.

Watching:

Still haven’t settled on a show to watch.

Grateful for:

• My new essential oil diffuser. I’ve always wanted one. It’s so relaxing to set it up and let it go. I find it to be very comforting while reading.
• My daughter found a new studio apartment for the next school year. It’s right next door to where she is so it’s still across the street from the school but she will have her own space and they are cat friendly for a fee. Oddly enough, her current roommate will ALSO be in the building with her own studio.  Can you believe that after this semester, she will be in year 3 of college?

Do you own a diffuser? I bought a fairly inexpensive one this time around but it seems to work great. Now, I need more oils. The one I have changes colors and the pup loves it.

We had a nice long visit with my daughter and her cat. A little over a month. We didn’t get to do all we wanted since the Hub and I got sick over the holidays but it was just nice to have her home. The singing. The smell of vanilla everything. That girl came out smelling like vanilla. She left yesterday and begins classes tomorrow. She changed her major to Acting, from Musical Theater. This allows her to branch out into screen if she so desires. 

Right Now:

I am headed to student ministry. When I get home we will put the house back in order. Jinx left little love notes everywhere. Her fave seems to be my black Ticonderoga pencils. 

This Week:

I feel like there is something happening this week but my calendar says otherwise. Sweet! I shall spend it purging and simplifying. 

Reading:

I am reading this one. It’s nearly 900 pages. The opening is a bit harsh but somehow it’s pulling me in. Climate change is a tough topic to tackle. 

Watching:

Not a thing. 

Grateful for:

• Planner prepping. Cracking open a new planner feels good. 
• My church family. They are awesome. 
• Candles. They bring me instant peace. 

How was your week?
