Sunday News #12
Feeling
I’m feeling really good about most things right now. My health continues to improve. My procedures on Monday went well. I’m just waiting for the results from the biopsies. I did find out that I have inflammation in my stomach lining and that’s what caused me to vomit blood. It’s not an ulcer yet. My doctors have increased the dosage of my heartburn/acid reflux medication to help calm the irritation down.
I also got caught up in my math class this week. I was behind because of being so sick. I’m working on getting caught up in my Japanese class. Hopefully, I’ll be caught up by the end of this coming week.
Blogging
This week on the blog:
Reading
I barely finished THE SILVER CHAIR by CS Lewis on March 31 so I could count it as a March read. I’m finally going to start reading my February Book of the Month pick today–A RIVER ENCHANTED by Rebecca Ross. I’m excited to read it!
Listening
In honor of Corey and I finishing binge-watching How I Met Your Mother, I thought I’d share “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by the Proclaimers even though everyone knows this song. If you’ve ever seen HIMYM, then you know why. If you don’t like this song, just keep on listening. It’ll come around.
Watching
As I said above, Corey and I finished binge-watching How I Met Your Mother this week. It was LEGEN-wait-for-it-DARY! Now, we’re going to watch the first season of How I Met Your Father and see if we like it at all.
I also found another cooking competition on Netflix that’s really fun. It’s called Baking Impossible. It teams up a pastry chef with an engineer and they have to bake/build these really awesome feats. They’ve had to build a sailboat, robot, chain reaction machine, costume, mini golf course, skyscraper, vehicle, and bridge. All of them edible and all of them have to pass stress tests. For example, the sailboat had to sail across a small waterway within 45 seconds to not fail. I only have one episode left and it’s been really fun.
Loving
I love how the bookmark I made for my IRL book club turned out. I unveiled it this week and I was so excited to share it in my Upcoming Book Club Picks post (link above).
Wanting
I want the 19th to get here quickly because it’s my birthday and I love celebrating my birthday, lol.
Needing
I need the weather to quit being bipolar and pick spring instead of winter. It’s time for the sun and warmer weather all the time or most of the time!
How was your week? Anything exciting happen?
I’m glad to hear you got good news and that things are going well. Yay!
Yay for The Silver Chair too. I haven’t read Narnia in ages.
I love that song. I saw it from a different movie (trying to remember which one), but yeah… 🙂
Thanks, Greg! 🙂 It’s a great song, isn’t it? I wonder which movie you’re thinking of. Is it Benny & Joon, the one in the music video?
I wish I knew! I even looked it up just now but no luck. I know it wasn’t Benny and Joon though as I had never seen that movie. Maybe I’m imagining it and just saw the video, but that’s bugging me now ha!
Ha! I understand. I hope you can remember so it stops plaguing you. And, by remember, I mean either remember the movie or remember that you didn’t watch anything, lol.
I am so very pleased to hear you feeling positive again and that your health has improved too. I hope you will continue to get better and better, and that the biopsy results will be helpful. ❤ My own week was a busy, fun but tiring one, and like you we have bipolar weather: going from bright sunshine to bitterly cold, grey and we even had snow! 🤪 Here’s to a happy, calm and warmer coming week! 🤞
Thank you, Jessica! 🙂 Wow, snow! It sounds like you live close to me, lol. I know you don’t. I just had to make the joke because we often get a few days of snow until June in my neck of the woods. 😳
So good to hear you are feeling at least a bit better. I laughed at your description of the weather as being bi-polar – that’s exactly how it’s been in my part of England. We had snow showers that lasted half an hour followed by the sun coming out and melting all the snow, then the cycle started again. It lasted a couple of days but thankfully the snow melted almost as soon as it fell.
Thanks, Louise! 🙂 Oh wow! Your weather definitely does sound bipolar, lol. I’m glad the snow didn’t stick. We haven’t had snow for a few weeks, but it’s been bitterly cold one day and then almost in the 80s the next. I wouldn’t be surprised if we do get snow one of the days because we often get one or two snow days until June in my neck of the woods, lol. 🙄
Oh my, I would not be happy with snow in June!
I know, right?! The snow usually only sticks for a few hours, but still. Lol.
Hope your stomach calms down for good! I have gastritis so I know the inconvenience of the whole GI thing. Have a good reading week.
Thanks, Harvee! 🙂 I’m sorry you have gastritis. Dealing with GI issues is not fun.
I’m glad your health is improving! Have a good week ahead!
Thanks, Mia! 🙂
This is my first time to your blog. Hope to catch you at the sunday post . regards trin carl @theglobaldig.blogspot.com
Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Yes I meant to comment on your beautiful bookmark but I got so caught up on recommending memoirs! lol. It’s so nice!!
Thank you so much, Elyse! 🙂 And, no problem with getting caught up with recommending memoirs. That was awesome, lol.
I’m glad you’re feeling better and I hope you continue to improve quickly. How I Met Your Mother is one of my favorite shows!
Thanks, Wendy! 🙂 Oh yay! Another HIMYM fan! It was such great fun binge-watching it with my husband, lol. I’m sad it’s over.
I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better, feeling sick is always awful. I love How I Met Your Mother and I love Hilary Duff but I cannot get into How I Met Your Father, so I’m curious how you like it.
Ash @ Essentially Ash
Thanks, Ash! 🙂 I’m glad I’m feeling better as well. It was definitely no fun. I’m hoping I like HIMYF, but I’m not sure if I will. I trying to go in with low expectations, lol.
I’m so glad you are doing better with your health. I hope it keeps improving.
I love the bookmark! It’s wonderful. Great job!
Hope you have a great week!
Thank you so much, Yvonne! 💜
It’s stressful waiting for test results and I hope everything turns out well. I adored HIMYM when it was originally shown. I haven’t watched HIMYF. I hope you have a great week!
Thanks, Jodie! HIMYM is awesome. There aren’t many sitcoms that can top it, IMHO. 😀
I’m happy you are feeling good and hope you continue to have improvements.
Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thank you, Anne! 🙂
Ugh… I wish the weather would make up its mind here too.
Lol. There seems to be a lot of that going around right now.
Glad that your health continues to improve. We have had strange weather here which has meant going out for walks is a risky business!

Here is my Sunday post: https://budgettalesblog.wordpress.com/2022/04/03/sunday-post-25/
Thank you so much, Emily! 🙂 The weather seems to be weird everywhere, doesn’t it? I think the only places it may be nice is near the equator or in tropical areas. I think it’s time for a trip to Hawaii. I wish, lol.
It’s so good they found the inflammation and that it is so easily treatable. Hope the biopsy results come out negative 🤞. And happy birthday month ❤️
Thank you, Tessa! 😀
