Happy Monday, y’all!
Thanks for joining me as I recap my weekend.
An aside . . .
I’m experimenting with my photo uploads, so there are going to be some inconsistencies with regard to photo sizes.
I have been uploading photos to my WordPress account; however, I have had a Flickr subscription for a number of years, so I want to use what I’ve been paying for.
I compose my blog posts from my phone’s app, so the options I have are limited. I’m finding this to be true of the Flickr app as well. I used to be able to select different sizes for my photos but can’t figure out how to do now. As I get older, I find myself will less desire to figure out such things. I’m looking for the easy button!
Anyhoo, please forgive me for the lack of eye appeal you may occasionally encounter.
Alrighty – onward to my actual post.
Of course, you know I always include Friday because it really does feel like the weekend finally kicks off that day.
During my lunch break Friday, I ran to a local jewelry store and got my Pandora bracelet cleaned. It was tarnished and looked horrible. The store did a great job and didn’t even charge me!
A stop by Toomer’s Corner for a cup of lemonade afterward was a must.
When I got home from work, I immediately changed into my pajamas.
The Mr. and I started a new Amazon Prime TV series, Butterfly.
I have loved Daniel Dae Kim since his days on Lost.
We watched the first two episodes. I’d rate them as a 3.75. Some of the acting is decent. The action scenes are great. I’m concerned that the storyline is going to conclude in a predictable fashion. There are only six episodes, so at least this won’t be a long-term investment of time.
I finished a book after we turned off the TV.
This was a free Prime First Reads download. It didn’t live up to the hype. The basic facts are correct; however, the author added too much fiction for my liking, and there were some graphic descriptions and verbiage that were unnecessary.
I was ready for bed after closing my Kindle.
I woke up a little after 5 am Saturday. I just cannot seem to be able to sleep in.
My church is starting its third week of 21 Days of Prayer, so we put that on the TV at 9.
Afterwards, I ran to the library to pick up a book I’d placed on hold.
The night before, I’d watched a trailer for Sarah’s Oil, which is coming out in November.
The movie is based on a true story.
Hence, my trip to the library.
I spent the better part of Saturday afternoon icing my shoulder.
Gambit sat with me, as he’s wont to do whenever I’m home.
Midway through the day, I stretched out on the couch for a much-needed nap.
We watched a couple more episodes of Butterfly before heading to bed.
Sunday morning, we attended church. With the college students starting classes today, the place was packed.
I’ll share notes on the sermon later this week.
I changed into something comfortable when I got home because chores are messy business (and I usually wear the outfit from church to work later in the week).
I prepped this Marry Me Rigatoni, which I’d seen on Instagram.
I cut all of the vegetables by myself! Go me!
I also prepared a bottle of my ginger-turmeric juice.
I peeled the fruit by myself, but the Mr. had to help me with the juicing. I could feel my rotator cuff in my good shoulder getting angry from overuse.
After all of that, plus the cleanup, I stopped to relax and ice my shoulders (plural because both were quite sore this weekend).
I spent the rest of the afternoon reading, playing my word games, and simply enjoying the beautiful view from my window.
Sunday evening, I watched the latest Big Brother episode, read a bit, texted my girl about ordering my grandson a birthday present, and chatted with a friend.
Gambit, meanwhile, got a head start on his sleep . . .
Y’all have a wonderful week!
