Sunday Matters: Oh, Yeah

Sunday Matters

Okay, you got me. I totally forgot the day again and so I had no Sunday post scheduled. I woke up looking for it and then realized I never wrote one so this will be super brief just to touch base.

Right Now:

My daughter sings for a church sometimes and that church returned to in-person services so we were invited to attend to ensure that they had good numbers. It was a lovely service. I double-masked and every other row only had 1-2 people. I felt very safe.

Now, I am heading to my own church because youth group is returning to the building for the first time. I shall attend that while my husband and daughter attend the regular service, outside. We will then grab a bite to eat afterward.

This Week:

We should receive some college decisions this week. Stay tuned. We should also know the status of that special thing I have yet to mention.

Reading:

I am reading Brat: An 80’s Story.

Watching:

We are on the last season of Schitt’s Creek. I am very sad about it.

The Walking Dead was pretty good last week so we will watching again tonight.

Haven’t watching any movies yet. Curious about Coming to America 2.

Grateful for:

  • We have some college choices now. So happy for that.
  • Grateful that in-person church services are happening and that they are being done properly. Online is great but it’s not the same. I would happily take that over being unsafe though.
  • I got an appointment for the vaccine. They opened it up to education so my appointment is 4/6! I am scheduled for Moderna but it says that whatever is available at the time will be given, including J&J. I really do not care at this point. I’ve been lucky and any of them will help quite a lot.

Let me know how you are doing. I felt like blogs were pretty quiet this past week.

Whatnot – Week 14

The Otter Pup

The pup is looking very dramatic here but she wanted to say Hello! She is a funny character. I do not know how she will be once we return to work and school. She has spent so much time with us this past year. They are saying now that our high schools will return to in-person learning on 3/22. It seems a little unrealistic but it could happen. We chose a hybrid model so two days on campus and the rest remote.

As far as reading goes, I continue to fly through books. It’s great because I am reading everything I want to read, both review copies and highly anticipated books. It’s a good balance. I am putting a lot of thought into what to read next and isn’t that half the fun?

I did finally make a trip to the bookstore but you know what? I didn’t buy anything. I saw many books that caught my eye but I had them on my Kindle already and unless I know a book is a keeper, I don’t usually purchase a hard copy.

This post was supposed to be up yesterday but guess what? Your friend here forgot what day it was. Occupational hazard when you work from home and every single day blurs into the next. Sometime this week I have to hit the market and I am dreading it. I do not enjoy it at all but all the staples need to be restocked. I guess that will be my big day out! Sarcasm.

What movies have you seen lately that you can recommend? I’ve been watching TV but haven’t seen any movies really besides a Hallmark Christmas movie that I saw recently. Yep! I broke out the Hallmark movies because I was feeling meh and needed some joy. Those movies always do the trick. I watched The Most Wonderful Time of the Year with Henry Winkler and it was so charming.

Anyway, that’s it from me. My review of The Sanatorium posts tomorrow! Stop by if you’ve been curious about it.
