Sunday Matters: Three Days for the Weekend Would Be Ideal

sunday-matters (1)
I’ve always said that three days would make for an excellent weekend. You’d have a day for errands, a day for fun, and a day to relax. Perfect, right? We’ve been a little short on the “fun” day because it ends up being an errand or cleaning day. I do not mind cleaning. In fact I love to clean and organize before relaxing. Errands, I do not care for. And soon I need to buy some clothes. I really detest clothes shopping but yoga pants cannot be worn for every occasion, contrary to popular belief.

Right Now:

No student ministry today since they are on spring break. I hope they all have a fabulous break. I miss their smiling faces. I am working on a little project related to student ministry though so I will dedicate some time today for that.

Reading:

I finished Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love. It was a lot of fun to read about his favorite t-shirts. Seems like an odd topic but in his hands it’s always interesting. My review should be up soon. My review of The School for Good Mothers posted last Friday so stop by if you missed it.

I am about to finish Greenwich Park. My next read is Nan Rossiter’s new one, A Good Measure. It comes out April 12th and Nan has offered me a copy to giveaway so look for that review soon.

A Good Measure

Watching:

We started Ozark. It’s dark and intense. It’s reminding me a lot of Breaking Bad which was one of my favorite shows ever.

Grateful for:

  • New opportunities that challenge me.
  • Trash pick-up. It’s ridiculous the amount of trash just the three of us generate. I’ve been going through closets and drawers and tossing stuff left and right. It feels good.
  • Someone at church recommended a new band to me, Joseph. They are amazing if you want to give them a listen. It’s not worship music but they are vibey and just good.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week! I cannot believe we are in April! Do you prepare an Easter dinner? I normally do but these two here just want to go to Cracker Barrel. Ha.

Whatnot – 03/30/22

Chloe on the couch.The pup has been a loyal reading buddy but now she has to share space with the cat. She is most gracious in giving up her spots, at least for a little while but she has to have a clear view of whatever I am doing or it’s a big no. In this shot, Root Beer the cat is actually on my chest while The Otter Pup observes. This is how I read these days. I have cat hair all over me but I love it.

What am I reading? Murakami’s latest, Murakami T: The T-shirts I Love. It is the perfect read for me right now. Short observations and stories about his go-to, favorite t-shirts and why they stand out to him. The only complaint I have, is that on my Kindle it’s all B&W so although there are photos of the shirts, I don’t get the full design effect. I need to check out a physical copy to see all his colorful choices. It’s the perfect thing to pick up and put down in between things. Some passages are only a couple of pages long. I should finish it this week.

This Thursday my university is closed for a state holiday so I am off. I would love to spend it outside. After quite a bit of rain on Monday, everything is so crisp and new. I am hoping to get outside so I am pondering my options now. I don’t want to waste a good day off.

The other day I got a reminder to call U-verse about my expiring promotions so I spent thirty minutes re-negotiating what I am willing to pay. Next time,  I may just drop it and go with streaming but once you add all your streaming services it’s not any cheaper, really. I didn’t get it quite low as I did last year but it will suffice for now. I would really love it if they deducted the cost of channels I do not want like OAN and all those infomercial channels. I could really do without any of it but the Hub likes his live sports and news.

We are all living in weird times. No masks anywhere now and yet numbers do seem to be rising but not alarmingly so. A second booster is coming.  I have to think about it more. I am fully boosted but after all the health issues I’ve had of late I am worried what a second booster might do to me. I have some time to think about it.

That’s all I have. I hope you have a great day!
