Currently on Saturday

First of all, is today really Saturday? I took a couple of days of vacation and I can't keep track of what day it is!

Currently, I guess it is Saturday. It is 89 degrees and it feels like 94. The sun is shining and the sky is blue with lots of white clouds.

Currently, I am enjoying a few days off. I've still checked my work email every day but unless it is urgent, I haven't' answered it. I have to go back to work in the morning (Sunday) so I'll be back in the groove next week.

Currently, I just finished a book, "Reckoning Hour" by Peter O'Mahoney. It was pretty good. I think I'll read "The Pastor's Wife" next. The author is Lyndee Walker. Both O'Mahoney and Walker are new authors to me.

Currently, I've been making and eating a weird thing. I take about a cup of plain fat-free Greek yogurt. I put a piece of parchment paper on a small cookie sheet and I spread the yogurt out all over the sheet. It is a very thin layer of yogurt. Today I sprinkled a little non-caloric sweetner on the yogurt. I didn't do that with the last batch. I'll let you know if I can tell a difference. I think sprinkle a ton of blueberries on top of the yogurt. Then I melt 1/4 cup no sugar added Lily's dark chocolate mini morsels in a measuring cup, along with a teaspoon of coconut oil (how is it oil if it is solid??). I drizzle the chocolate over the berries and yogurt.  I place the cookie sheet in the deep freeze for a couple of hours and after it freezes, I break it up into pieces and put it in a freezer bag. It is so good.

Currently, I am buying . . .well the designer and I are looking for two pieces of furniture and a wall hanging. I ordered some accessories to put on the hearth since we aren't lighting a fire at this time of the year. When those items arrive and I arrange I can show y'all a photo if you want to see. I don't think they will arrive before next weekend.

Currently, I am very sad as we've read about the flooding in Texas. We got a text from work today that a church member's daughter is at a camp adjacent to the damaged camp. The daughter is a college student so I'm wondering if she is a counselor. Her parents arrived in Texas this morning. I also received an email sent to the student body at the college I attend, Samford University. One of the little girls that died is the child of one of the professors. She was 8 years old. That has just shattered my heart. Mark finally told me to stop looking at the news online because I just kept crying.

So . . .currently, what are you doing? What are you reading or eating or making or buying or feeling?
