Last week I totally forgot to write a Sunday post. I was busy but it didn’t even dawn on me to write it up. This week I promised I would not forget and here I am.

I am in a strange mood. A lazy mood. I just want to spend my days on the couch with a blanket. It’s been rainy here but in California that never lasts long. And to be honest, I am never lazy so I don’t even know why I said that. I am always doing something. Even if I am a couch potato I am organizing a drawer or cleaning out my purse. What is wrong with me?

Right Now:

Coffee has been poured down my gullet. Toast has been had. Avocado toast because avocado toast sprinkled with seasoned salt is best. It’s a tournament day so it will be spent in a gym most of the day. Hoping the girls do well. I don’t care for the drive though.

This Week:

My daughter attended an overnight theater competition on Friday-Saturday so now it’s just rehearsals for Oliver and Oklahoma. Club volleyball is still going strong but ends in June. The year is going by so fast it will be here before we know it but then right when it ends summer camp for high school volleyball begins. Hope she makes the team again.

Reading:

Still reading Future Home of the Living God and I must say, it’s become quite interesting. The world is ending, sounds like humans are reverting to apes and a woman is pregnant. There you go.  Not sure how it will all play out.

Watching:

The Walking Dead just got interesting again. Some weird woman joined the cast. She could be Eugene’s long lost sister. I jest but seriously! She is the female version Eugene and it’s creeping me out. She promises a better future filled with windmills/turbines. She hands Maggie a “how-to” book for the apocalypse. Hello! Red flags everywhere so pay attention.

Making:

I made a yummy gluten-free, vegan pesto pasta the other night with sun dried tomatoes and wilted spinach. Very good. I also made Chicken Cacciatore over rice. Grilled cheese and tomato soup will be enjoyed some time this week. Curry chicken as well.

Grateful for:

All of the friends I have made through blogging. I interact with so many of you on a given day. You offer words of support to me each and every day when I am feeling down and we talk about books. What can be better than that? Thank you!

Every time I write up one of these posts I can’t believe it’s already Sunday again. It’s gotta be age that makes the time fly like this because I don’t remember it doing that when I was younger.

Oh, and of course we just pushed the clocks ahead which always messes me up. No problem with “fall back” but “spring forward” and I are not friendly.

Right Now:

We had a volleyball tournament yesterday so we are all wiped out but I am about to meet some folks soon so I have a few hours to perk up.

This Week:

Guys, it happened. The Girl got the part she wanted in Oliver! She is he undertaker’s wife, Mrs. Sowerberry. She gets to sing That’s Your Funeral. She is so excited! Along with that, she has rehearsals for a theatre competition, volleyball practice, etc. I’ve got life group, volunteering and all that other good stuff.

Reading:

I am still reading Future Home of the Living God. I mentioned that it was slow-going for me but I am getting into it now.

I have a book tour next week so I started Rainbirds as well. This one gets bonus points for the gorgeous cover. I am a sucker for a good cover.

Watching:

Some of my friends and co-workers have stopped watching The Walking Dead so I don’t have many people to discuss the show with anymore.  That has been a bit of a downer, to be honest. However, the show is getting interesting again. It lacks that frantic pace and emotional tug that it had in previous seasons but I just want to be entertained, you know?

Last week, we watched Dunkirk. When my husband suggested it, I was like, “The Girl is not going to be interested.” But then, she WAS and in a big way. I was surprised.

Then, I wasn’t.

Any One Direction fans out there?

Making:

Guys, I’ve been cooking! I made Chicken Curry, pizza, tomato and basil pasta, and pan-fried fish. I am now craving the Pozole my friend made for our life group. Her recipe is a little bit of this and that but I included a  Wiki link in case you are not familiar with what it is.

Grateful for:

The First 5 app. It’s a way to study the Bible in 5 minutes a day. I spend at least an hour in study M-F but this app is what gets the wheels turning. It’s free. They also have  beautiful experience guides if you want to go a little deeper in your study. I LOVE how pretty they are. They are sold through Proverbs 31. I get nothing for this mention but I have been using that app for quite a while now.

That’s it from me. What is going on with you?
