Good morning, friends. I’ve been in the strangest mood. I feel a little scatterbrained and unhinged, if I am being honest. There is nothing going on except me getting used to being back in the office. I just need to get a grip and move on.

Luna the cat had 5 kittens. She is a good little mama. All the kittens are black except for one tabby and he, I think he is a he, is a pistol. Beating up on all the others and stealing the best nursing spots. He is the most vocal too. He has a lot of personality.

Root Beer the cat continues to live well in the Pacific Northwest. She, too, has become quite the character. Both kids tell me these are the only “grandkids” I will ever have. I am Mee-maw to the kitties.

The temps dropped here. The high yesterday was 82 and it was lovely. Cool mornings, golden sunshine, blue skies. It feels like fall. Thank God.

Right Now:

Heading to student ministry in a bit. I am hosting the game today! Right after we meet, we are heading to the beach for baptisms. We have nine students getting baptized. Beach baptisms are always super popular but man, that water is cold.

Reading:

I am reading Lemon. It’s very good.

Watching:

Not much. We started the new season of Cobra Kai. It did not start well. Kind of boring.

Grateful for:

• Cooler weather has put me in a clothes buying mood which never happens. I just purchased a few fall tops. Feels good to be a grown-up again.
• Follow-up appts. I hate going to the doctor but my follow-up ultrasound for the breast lump is tomorrow. Hope it hasn’t changed and this time, I hope they decide to take it out.

Have a great Sunday!

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:

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.

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!
