AuburnChick's Adventures

Happy Monday, y’all.

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?

It was very laid back around here.

Friday night, the hubby and I started watching Season 2 of The Terminal List. It is actually a prequel of the first season.

I called it an early night because I was still fighting a cold.

The next morning, I woke up around 7, prepared a cup of tea, started laundry, and watched ESPN’s Gameday.

Then, it was time for a whole bunch of football games.

The ESPN app allowed for four games of their choosing to be on the screen at once. I was all about it!

I also prepared a couple of snacks for the day.

I made another Jalapeño Popper Cheese Ball.

I’m addicted to this.

Then, I made Vegan Buffalo Chicken Dip. The artichokes really made this! It was divine!

I took it easy the rest of the day and kept one eye on the TV and another on my book, which I finished that evening.

If you haven’t read this, run to your library or your Libby app and get it ASAP.

It was amazing!!!! I laughed, and I teared up. It has given me pause to think about older people, their loneliness, and so many other things.

I rated it with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That’s rare for me.

Sunday morning, we attended church.

Our sermon was about how Jesus grew and how He is both God and human.

I did a bit of closet organizing when we got home, pulled my outfits for the week, and then got to the business of meal prepping.

This week, I’ll be eating this delicious Leek and Potato Soup.

I’ve made this before, so I knew it would be good. Oh boy, was it!

My left shoulder bothered me a lot this weekend, so I decided to lay low the rest of the day. I’ll mention it to my physical therapist on Wednesday. It’s the rotator cuff – a little angry from either last week’s PT or maybe wrong sleeping positions. Who knows.

Sunday evening, while the Mr. watched football, I headed into another room to watch a couple episodes of Survivor. It also happened to be raining, which was the perfect backdrop for a quiet TV night.

You might recall that I once mentioned that I wanted to rewatch the precious 48 seasons in preparation for Season 50, which will air in the spring.

I started my walk through memory lane this summer while I was home recuperating from shoulder surgery. There’s nothing like an episode of people doing things you cannot, physically, while you’re laid up in a recliner unable to sleep at 2 in the morning. Ha!

I’ve been making steady progress and am almost finished with Season 5.

It’s been a lot of fun reacquainting myself with past contestants.

There’s no way I’m going to finish all of the seasons before 50 starts, but I’m okay with that. I’ll plod along as best as I can.

So, what’s on tap for your week? How can I pray for you?

Have a wonderful week, y’all.
