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!

I have a free WordPress account but pay for a custom domain. It was brought to my attention that the ads, that display here for free, since I have a free account have gotten increasingly weird. I don’t make money off of those ads but I certainly don’t care for you all to be bombarded with ads about toenail fungus and bowel habits! I mean, it’s getting out of hand so when I renew my domain next month I am going to cough up the extra pennies to be ad free. I enjoy our interactions so I’d like to enhance the reading experience as long as it’s affordable to do so.

What’s new with you all? I’ve been super busy so my reading has taken a hit. I swear, my totals are going to be horrible this year. I am not too concerned usually about numbers but my yearly total right now is ridiculously low!

My daughter starts classes this week. She is most excited about her Singing for the Actor class. She will also be taking piano which will be good for her since she taught herself how to play by watching YouTube. Proper technique would be a plus.

My son is doing well. He really enjoys the Seattle street scene. All those outdoor concerts, but I think he attended the last one for the summer this past Thursday. Wonder what they will have for the fall. Root Beer the cat has become an influencer now. Haha. She received her first collab offer the other day.

Right Now:

We have a very busy student ministry day. Our regular services this morning and then the fall kickoff party this evening. So many activities. Sports, a paint war (is exactly what it sounds like), games, etc. It’s going to be super fun.

Reading:

Still reading The Last Chairlift. I am also reading Verity. I should be done with Verity this weekend.

Watching:

We are still working through our Korean drama series. There are just so many episodes. I saw a Netflix teaser for Manifest. A plane lands from a decade ago and the passengers have no idea what has happened. It’s very Twilight Zone and honestly, a little Stephen King. I think that will be our next show. Has anyone seen it?

Grateful for:

• Dresses. This is super weird for me to admit but I am not a dress person AT ALL and lately, they are all I am buying. They are easy for work and take no effort. I’ve worn dresses more in the last two weeks than I have the last 20 years.
• Frixion erasable gel pens. They are my pen of choice for Bible notes. They have a nice, fine tip, do not drag, and erase cleanly even on thin Bible pages.

Have a great Sunday!
