Sunday Matters

It’s been quiet on the blog this week. I wasn’t feeling great and had an allergic reaction to some medication after that so although I had things to say, I was feeling too dizzy to actually sit down and say them. Starting to feel a tiny bit better.

June. It’s nearly at its end. Everything is a countdown for me these days with these two kids about to head out.

Right Now:

Just taking it easy and enjoying some coffee. There is so much to do but I gotta take a break.

This Week:

I had to take care of a mound of paperwork for various things last week. Most of it is done but need to finish that up this week because it keeps gnawing at my brain. Between switching the kids over to a new dentist and sending a kid off to college you really fill out a lot of paper. Seems like an antiquated way to do things today.

I hope to get back into my reading saddle and even add a review or two to the blog this week. I’ve been reading all of your blogs and comments though so at least I am up to date there.

Reading:

Diving into Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner for 10 Books of Summer.

Watching:

Loki. Kind of getting into it now.

Hollywood by Ryan Murphy of American Horror Story fame. It’s weird to see Hollywood in that light. Actors play screen greats like Rock Hudson, etc. It’s a little humorous and very scandalous. Visually, stunning. Murphy is known for that.

Grateful for:

I am grateful that I am still working from home right now. This past week was rough and working from home allowed me to get my work done on a flexible schedule and still take some time to care for myself. It’s really so important and moms tend to always put themselves last.

Sunday Matters

It is Father’s Day in these here parts. Sometimes, I speak in a strange way. Right now is one of those times.

My husband is very easy to please. A nice meal out and maybe someplace fun to visit or see is all he wants. The meal out took place last night but the place to visit or see is up in the air because California is wide open now and there are people everywhere. It feels like there are more people now, than ever. Outdoor adventures are nice but not in this heat.

Right Now:

We attended church on Thursday and it was glorious. Thursday services have been gone for a year and it’s really the only service that works well for me since Sunday is also a volunteer day, normally. Still trying to decide what path to take now that my group has graduated.

This Week:

Not much happening this week and I am fine with it. I will be picking up my daughter’s yearbook tomorrow as she will be working. I honestly have no idea what will be in it. She wasn’t able to take photos for theatre or choir. Sure, her senior pic will be in there but no football games, no prom, no grad bash, nothing.

She had a dental appointment scheduled for this Wednesday but can’t get the day off so I’ve decided to move her to our dentist so she can get a visit in before she leaves. They have Saturday appointments. If she takes off during the week now the counselor to student ratio is affected so she needs the flexibility of Saturday appointments. I wasn’t ready to do it but we have to do it for my son too so they will both move over so they can be seen before they leave. Geesh! All these things you have to think about.

Reading:

I finished Go Tell It On The Mountain for book club and the review posts tomorrow. I also finished The Last Thing He Told Me. I should have that review up soon. That leaves me with my current read, Before She Disappeared which I am reading for 10 Books of Summer.

Watching:

I haven’t picked up anything new and because of all the anxiety I keep having I’ve resorted to tried and true shows like Hoarding: Buried Alive to take me out of my head a little.

Grateful for:
