The holidays sneak up on us every year but this year it seemed to come and go so quickly. That’s what happens when you only see your kids for a short while and everything hangs on that visit. I am so glad that they could both be here for a little while.

My son was with us for a week but left on Christmas Eve to return to his cat Root Beer and his AmeriCorps gig. Good timing because his little town in Kansas has been below 10 degrees for their high and although Root Beer was feral, it’s too cold for her. Luckily while he was gone the temps were mild.

Right Now:

Student ministry is breaking until January 9th so I have my Sunday mornings to lounge around and be lazy.

This Week:

I have off until 1/10 so I have one last week to enjoy. My daughter leaves on 1/16 so she has some time to hang out as well. All I have this week is book club and I just remembered it. I suppose I should read the book, Migrations.

Reading:

I will be reading the above for book club but I selected my first book of the year as well so I will be piggy-backing this one with that one. More to come on that.

Watching:

I sipped the Squid Game Kool-Aid and now I am hooked.

Grateful for:

• A nice warm house to cozy up in. It’s been so cold here.
• My time off. I do love this time of the year.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week! Happy New Year!

Hello and good morning! My daughter arrived late Wednesday night. Her flight was very delayed which gave her like 5 minutes to make her connecting flight. It was a real nail biter. Thank GOD she had a classmate on the plane who lives in Atlanta and was familiar with the airport because she needed to hop on the subway to get to next flight. That girl ran with her all the way. She got there with a minute to spare. The nice thing, last one on the plane = first bags off the plane. We got home at 1am after a run through a restaurant drive-thru.

Friday night we saw Hamilton!

Right Now:

Student ministry is breaking until January 9th so I have my Sunday mornings to lounge around and be lazy.

Tonight we have tickets to see The Band’s Visit. Closing night, and Emma really wanted to catch it while in town. Cancellation emails are on the rise with Omicron so I keep checking for updates.

This Week:

Tele-appointment with the urologist over the kidney stone debacle on Monday.

Tuesday, physical therapy for the knee.

Wednesday, shopping for whatever I will be cooking for Christmas dinner. The kids are pushing me to make a reservation somewhere but it’s always so crowded and it would be nice to just be together.

Reading:

Still reading this. Slowly.

Watching:

We watched Christmas Vacation and then nothing. My kids saw the new Spider Man and they highly recommend it.

I am on episode #3 of “And Just Like That” and it’s getting better. Slowly but the writing is a little lazy. I wanted more for those characters.

Grateful for:

• A nice warm house to cozy up in. It’s been so cold here.
• My time off. I do love this time of the year.

Have a wonderful Sunday and great week!
