Sunday Matters: Rest and Recharge

9 Comments

Sunday Matters

It’s funny to consider Sunday my “rest” day because it’s actually a very busy day for me but volunteering and working with students gives me life. Then, when I get home I usually crash on the couch for a much needed nap while watching something silly on TV. That, or reading. Depends on how much sleep I got the night before.

Right Now:

Coffee. Toast. A little weekend news. That’s about the only kind of news I can handle these days. Then, off to church I go.

This Week:

I finally get to see the orthopedist on Monday! Three long weeks of waiting and 9 weeks total with this knee injury. I’ve been very good and have been off of it but every now and then my knee bobbles a little and then flares up again with bruising and the like. It’s weird how it bruises just from it being strained.

I don’t have anything else on the calendar for this week. The Hub and I need to take a decent road trip this weekend though because last weekend we tried and everywhere we went was a bust. Too crowded or closed. Food, meh. It was almost comical.

Reading:

I hope to finish Dune today and have the review posted this week. I love a good chunkster of a book but Dune is not a book to rush through so it’s slowed my reading down a little.

Watching:

We finished American Horror Story Double Feature. The second half was all about aliens and it showed promise but then tanked. Was not happy with how it ended at all.

On to Squid Game.

Grateful for:

  • As aggravating as my son’s car issues have been, that darn car did what it was supposed to do and took the impact of that deer. It’s a mess but he isn’t, and that is what matters.
  • Soup weather!! This is a joke because it’s been 85 this week but it FEELS like soup weather.

That’s all I have. Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!

Sunday Matters: Happy Halloween!

Sunday Matters

It’s amazing how fast Sunday comes around. Happy Halloween! Today I am making Impossible Chili in the crock pot. We’ll see how the veg meat sub holds up in the crock. I will serve it with some cornbread too and we will eat while handing out candy tonight. Maybe we will try to watch a movie too but usually there is too much foot traffic for us to watch a movie.

Right Now:

Coffee, a gluten free bagel and then I am off to see the high schoolers. The party we had last Wednesday was a blast. I wonder if they will wear costumes today.

This Week:

I don’t have much of anything going on this week which is very nice. The “need to do” stuff is just me trying to stay busy and tidy up a bit. My bookshelves are in need of some attention. I need to go through important papers and organize a bit but that’s no fun. I need to buy some clothes like adults do if I am ever going to return to society. I think velour track suits should make a comeback.

Reading:

I finished Taste and posted my review last Friday in case you missed it. I am now reading Dune (liking it a lot) and then will make room for my book club’s pick This Tender Land. 

This Tender Land

Watching:

With the trick or treaters coming and going tonight we may just watch some classic TV like Newhart or Mary Tyler Moore.

Grateful for:

  • Indian food. It has a lot of vegetarian options. It’s one of my favorite types of food.
  • Coffee time with friends. The beverage doesn’t really matter but getting together for a quick “catch-up” session does my soul good.

That’s all I have. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and great week!
