Sunday Stuff

For the first Sunday in a little while, I'm at home, (well, mom and dad's home) instead of taking part in a various church activities, I stayed home, ensconced in an arm chair, wrapped in a blanket, with my neck pillow wrapped around my neck, a magic bag across a sore ankle, and another against my back.

I'm tired.  Very tired.  Life has been busier than it has been in a while, and I'm feeling drained. 

There's just lots going on.

So, I spent the morning curled up.  Watching some of my favorite brainless entertainment.  I caught a couple of episodes of "Say Yes to the Dress" and a bunch of Food Network shows, including Top Chef, which is definitely my favorite, and which I have yet to find available to watch online, and thus only get to see on these Sunday morning retreats.

And then I made cookies.  Chocolate chip. 

And painted my fingernails.  Clear.  (I paint the nails far less for the look than for the strength it adds to my rather fragile nails that have a tendency to break and tear.)

In a little while, I'll probably do a bit of homework in preparation for the week ahead, and make sure to get together some snacks/lunch for tomorrow's full day of classes.

I have a little bit of cleaning to do, to move back to the bedroom I normally stay in, here, from the room I stayed in last night since mom and dad were hosting guests overnight.  I'll probably do that this evening, when I have to be downstairs anyway, since dad teaches a Bible study upstairs on Sunday nights.

I'm taking a bit of time to pray for a friend, whose dad passed away yesterday, after a car accident that was caused when he had a heart attack on Thursday. 

And, at this moment, I'm leaning towards taking a long bubble bath later with one of the books I'm reading at the moment.

And red meat.  I kind of want red meat.  Hamburger, or a steak sandwich maybe.  Actually, just meat.  Clearly, based on the cravings I'm having, I'm in need of some protein.

And I think I'm going to make arrangements to do some cooking sometime this week.  I miss cooking on my own instead of helping mom prepare whatever it is that she's serving.

That's pretty much my semi-laid out plans for the day.  All flexible and totally subject to the whims of my moods!
