23/52

 Monday morning was the first day of Summer Schedule on a Monday, so I was up bright and early to get ready for a ton of students. I spent an inordinate amount of time staring out my window at this HUGE bird. It was picking away at roadkill, so I spared you from that #YoureWelcome, But I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was HUGE!! Also #EasilyEntertained #TurningIntoMyDad

 I put on my new favorite comfiest shirt that I got on clearance at Walmart and prepared to teach a whopping 9 students. It was a marathon!! Days with only a 30 min break for dinner are not ideal, but it is worth it to have Fridays off during the summer!
 Finally, at 7:30 when I was done teaching, I was tired of being cooped up inside all day, so I poured myself a nice cold glass of Faygo Red Pop and went outside to get some fresh air.


Tuesday.... Oh Tuesday... there are no pictures of Tuesday or Wednesday because Tuesday afternoon I went from Fine, to REALLY not fine. Out of nowhere I got terrible stomach pain and started throwing up. Thankfully I quit throwing up in the late evening, but I was out of commission on Weds. Still not sure whether I ate something that didn't agree with me, or one of my Monday students gave me the Flu. You'd better believe I will be interrogating every one of them today to find out if they were sick last week!!

 Thursday I was more than happy to be up early at my new Thursday time of 8:15 am, in order to get ready to teach. Thankfully I was feeling much better, albeit not that hungry (Which days later I am still not that hungry
I snuck in a little bit of practice time between students.
By the last lesson of the day I was ready to put my feet up, so I did just that on my extra piano stool. I got a kick out of my student's outfit, she looked like Minnie Mouse! So cute!!!!
After I was done teaching, it was actually still late afternoon, HURRAY for Summer Schedule!! So I went out and ran some errands, like going to my favorite place, The Library, to pick up some books on hold, and get my hours stamped for the summer reading program. Then I was in the longest line at the pharmacy. 
I got home and remembered I needed to do some laundry, and upon entering my laundry room, found my attic area disturbed. I told my Mom I was worried a Person or Wild Animal was coming to kill me. I about killed my finger pulling it shut, so I don't think anyone/thing got in.
Friday I had OFF!! And it was wonderful not to have to set an alarm! I want to do some Fun Friday things this summer, but after being sick I was beat and just had a nice relaxing weekend. By Sunday morning I was ready to see people and go serve at church! My normal coffee turned into a Fraup and it was tasty! Sidenote: Does anyone else have the issue of drinking coffee early in the am and then by the time church comes around you're tired? I keep thinking I should bring more coffee with me to church! We have a little coffee shop there but it's hot coffee and I don't really care for warm drinks, and I also like to flavor my coffee within an inch of it's life.
It was supposed to be crazy hot outside so I decided to wear a long skirt with my Serving Shirt, and cute sandals.
YAY for Team 2!!! My Team was CRACKING me up that morning!!! I feel like I'm finally getting to know several of them, And we are developing our own inside jokes, and it's just so much fun! Serving Sundays are my favorite because as a single girl, going to church alone, I usually sit alone and I'll talk to people I see and know, but Serving Sundays are GREAT because I get to talk to tons of people, and make them feel welcome, and I just feel really connected. I love it! We took up two offerings, well the second was sign up sheets, and I took the shift of standing at the Info Desk during the service, so by the time I finally got home from church I was more than halfway done with my steps for the day. HURRAY!! I found myself doing laps in my hallway right before bed so I could get the final 9 points I needed to get to 10,000 steps. HA!

The rest of Sunday was filled with cleaning, more reading, and piano practice, and some soul filling conversation with a dear friend. So thankful for friends that will speak truth to me, and encourage me with God's word!

And that's a wrap for Week 23!!

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Book Review: The Last Dance you Saved by LJ Evans

  Buckle Up Buttercup, because Sadie Hatley is finally getting her story!!!! And it did not disappoint at all! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it ended. I could have kept reading for 1000 more pages.  L.J. Evans is a Masterclass in how to write Romantic Suspense (that's not so scary you can't sleep at night) with witty banter, heroines who kick butt (figuratively and literally). Her books are full of real people with real problems. And I think that's one of the things I appreciate the most about her writing. Yes, her books are an escape for me, but they also show that whatever you're going through in life, everyone else is also going through something.  In the case of Sadie and Rafe alot of those issues they contained to themselves and kept the hurt and pain inside of them, in order to be strong for others and what they thought they needed to be. But L.J. shows us that not only is it okay to let people in, but the beauty and redemption that come...
