Fave reading spot and friend.We bought our plane tickets to see my daughter in her show this November. My son will meet us there. Hotel is booked, car is rented. Obviously we won’t be able to do this for every role, but it’s a lead and her first MSU show. Please pray that COVID spares the cast. They have some time.

Speaking of COVID, I am getting my updated booster on Friday for the new variant and a week later my flu shot. I thought about doing them together but a week in between will be better I think.

We had some rain. Not nearly enough but a good day of light rain. It is super humid but the temps have really come down. Today the high will be 86. Not bad at all.

My reading is all over the place. I finally received the new King book but I am reading three others and want to finish those before I dive into King. I am having such a hard time getting used to these two days in the office. I am fine while AT the office but once I am home I am useless. You’d think that hanging on the couch with a book would be the perfect activity but my brain is running non-stop. Need to slow down. As you can see from the photo above, The Otter Pup is doing her best to keep me in one spot.

Fairy Tale by Stephen King

This Saturday my husband is working an outreach event and I will be driving into the Valley for lunch with some retired colleagues. They live in Idaho now so when they come down we try to hook up. It’s always a very good time.

The updated booster I am getting will be Pfizer but I’ve been getting Moderna all this time. I’ve heard that for the new variant, you can go either way but Moderna is not yet available near me so we will go with Pfizer. Hope we do okay with it.

In kitty news, my daughter’s cat had five kittens!! I don’t see how she carried that many. She is just a baby herself and so tiny. She is such a good mama. She will be spayed as soon as she is able to have it done.

Have a great week. I am taking this week to visit all your blogs. Hope you are all well.

Sunday Matters: Weekends

We had a scheduled power outage yesterday. They gave us plenty of notice but I had to get up early to get ready for the celebration of life we were attending and then we took off for the coast to enjoy the cooler temps. Cannot be here without AC. Today, up early to prepare for the day. I like the idea of sleeping in but honestly, even if allowed to, I never can. I always wake early.

The first week of classes went well for my daughter and guess what? She now has a cat. A pregnant cat. Luna showed up at their door. She is really not allowed to have a cat so we will see how this plays out. She is very sweet and the roomies have supposedly found a place for the kittens to go when the time comes. The vet says three kittens.

Here is Luna:

Luna the cat.

Right Now:

Student ministry it happening like always. I am still finding paint on my body after last week’s paint wars. All colors came out easily except for the teal. I was COVERED in teal. I’ve washed my hair dozens of times and there is still teal buried in my scalp. It was so fun though.

Reading:

Still reading The Last Chairlift. I am about to pick up How High We Go in the Dark.

How High We Go in the Dark

Watching:

The week has been busy so we are behind on our TV watching. My husband saw Bullet Train in the theater last week when I was busy at the fall kickoff. He recommends it. Said it was very entertaining.

Grateful for:

  • Teeth Whitening Strips. They are an easy way to take a few years off.
  • Spotify playlists. I love the ones that are suggested to me but I’ve been having fun creating my own too.

Have a great Sunday!
