Sunday Matters: A Lot of the Same

Sunday Matters

These regular posts are really the only reason I know what day it is. Everything blurs together during the week. When I try to pick out something different or something news worthy to discuss, I end up with very little. The pup and I stare at each other, a lot. Reading has been very good. The days are long though. I often can’t wait for The Hub to get home just so we can take a drive or eat. It’s become very routine. No young people bursting into a room with the events of the day. Still adjusting.

Right Now:

Coffee, some toast and then student ministry. When I get home, The Hub will probably be watching sports so I will crash on the couch with my current read.

This Week:

I am taking Friday off this week. I needed to use up some vacation days and some retired colleagues are coming in from Idaho so we are meeting in the valley for lunch. Later that same day, I have a Ladies Night for student ministry which should be fun.

Other than that, not much. Still working from home. I am thinking about moving my work setup to another location. I am sick of this view.

Reading:

I reviewed My Heart is a Chainsaw. I didn’t love it but I think true fans of classic slasher films might really enjoy it.

I also finished Piranesi. Oh my word. Get that book. It’s so different. I loved it and now I want to own a nice, physical copy. My review of it should be up this week.

My current read is Taste by Stanley Tucci. I love him. I love his show too but man, his cooking makes me very hungry.

Watching:

American Horror Story: Part 2. All about Aliens and the conspiracy theories surrounding them. A little bit of a stretch but entertaining as heck.

Squid Game. Starting this one this weekend. I’ve heard it’s super gruesome and yet, everyone is watching it on Netflix.

Our horror movie watching has started with the classic Halloween. The new one that is coming out this month has ZERO appeal to me. Give me the classic anytime.

Grateful for:

  • My Bible reading has been pretty good these past few weeks. I am doing a study on the book of Revelation. It’s the first time I am reading that book and not seeing the “end times”, it’s more a plan for the future. Interesting.
  • Early bed time. With my knee all jacked up, I’ve been heading to bed early. I do read for a bit but then I am out. It’s been lights out by 9pm on most nights. Unheard of!

I still haven’t satisfied my vegetarian chili/cornbread craving. I need to make that happen this week. Have a wonderful Sunday and week!

Sunday Matters: Welcome, October

Sunday Matters

Good morning! And just like that, we are in October. Isn’t it unreal? I am pulling out my Halloween viewing list and setting that DVR to record.

Freeform 31 Nights of Halloween

Right Now:

Headed to student ministry in a bit. Grabbing coffee and a quick bite first. It got warm again. We had a few nice days of cooler weather but it’s hot again and has been a little windy. Wind and heat do not mix in dry, dry, Southern California.

This Week:

No word on work yet. People must be very busy. I will just continue to plug along from home unless I hear otherwise.

My daughter’s bday is this week. It will be weird to not have her here but she has all kinds of fun planned.

I’m starting to organize my planner for the upcoming year. Right now, not much to add to it. I like it that way, actually.

Reading:

I am finishing up (hopefully) The Night She Disappeared by Lisa Jewel. My review should post this week. I thought I’d have it up last Friday but I never got to it.

I finally got My Heart is a Chainsaw and it is weird. It’s just like the “final girl” season of American Horror Story, the one about the 80s camp slasher. I mean, very much like it. I waited forever for the book to come in so I will finish it but right now I am conflicted over it.

Watching:

We started American Horror Story: Part 2. Looks to be an “alien” theme. I am here for it.

Have to work in my Hocus Pocus viewing. I only watched that movie for the first time two years ago but I really think it’s fun. It’s now a fave.

Grateful for:

  • My knee continues to improve. Maybe in a week I can take the pup for a short walk.
  • My daughter was awarded a COVID relief grant at school. $1000 we were not expecting. Very grateful. She can use it.

Have a wonderful Sunday. I am starting to feel like it’s Crock Pot season but now that I am vegetarian and gluten free, it will take some experimenting. Chili and cornbread sounds really good.
