Well this week is picture light because I slightly forgot to take pictures a few days. Whoopsie!
So I'll add in these two pictures even though they were last Sunday night. My neighbors finally got done moving and I say finally because it took them two long weeks to move all their stuff out. They left a bunch of trash out, and I had mentioned it to my Mom and said something about a lamp being out there. She was immediately interested as she was DIY'ing some lamps and she and Dad both know how to rewire a lamp so even a broken one would work for her. So I waited until it got dark outside and plundered their trash. The things I do..!
I had spied something wooden, and I decided to take it as well because we all know I like taking things from trash and repurposing them!! This thing isn't in the best shape, so it's going to need a little work done on it before I can paint it, but I do like a challenge! And you can't beat free, Amen?!
Monday afternoon despite it still being warm outside, I was in need of some comfort food. So I whipped up a small batch of Apple Bread. And cream cheese icing. You can see I went sparingly with the icing... not.
I just felt heavy all day, I watched the news reports of Vegas, and cried several times for the families and friends, and for those who were hurt. It reminded me somewhat of 9/11. I felt like I was in a daze, but I had to pull myself together to teach. And when you teach kids, things like this aren't really appropriate. So I had to perk myself up, put on a happy face, and do my job. I decided that Monday of all days, needed some happy music. So I put on my Piano Guys Christmas Pandora Station on my tv. It didn't cover the sadness, but it was like a warm hug. And let's be real, I have been listening to Christmas music since the end of August. # The Christmas Recital is coming soon!
Thursday it was a bit cooler so I broke out one of my new long sleeved garage sale finds! Love having new to me clothes!
One of my students showed up to her lesson wearing a crown. Which was awesome. And then at the end she said she had an extra one for me!! SO sweet!!
Sunday rolled around and it was my Team's week to serve. I busted out a maxi skirt and sandals to go along with my ugly orange serving shirt, and had to add a cardigan to that when i was at church. brrrr..... Part of the brrrr was because I was getting sick. I woke up Sunday morning and thought crud. I am getting sinus stuff. As the morning and day went on I wasn't just getting it, I had it. My throat hurt so bad.
Thankfully Makeup covers a multitude of issues, and I didn't look as terrible as I felt! All of our volunteers showed up this month and we didn't have any special offerings so things were SO much smoother than last month! I was quite thankful for that! Last month was my first month as the Team Leader and it was stressful.
We had an extra long sermon, so I hung out in the Info Desk area, in one of the comfy chairs for awhile.
Sunday afternoon I ran some errands and then went home and tried to get some cleaning done quickly as I was really not feeling well by then, and I knew it was only going to get worse. Spoiler alert, it did. But that's for next week's recap!!
