What A Saturday!

I was up early and each morning, I say... just go for 8K... and then... 9K... and I get 10K done. Finished the week with 61.69K! Astounding!

I was home and took a shower and headed out... You guessed it... My friend's house to get things done.

People came to pick up things... BUT... the major items are still there: washer and dryer, cabinets, dressers...I worked and cleaned and sorted... and it looks ready for the cleaning lady... I carted things home and will go back for one more load! But it is done... and I'm praying... that somehow, God will bring people to move those things!

I was home by 5pm and Alan and Isaiah came home from their MASSAGE!!!!!!! I want one!

Isaiah helped me with the laundry before he took off for dinner with a friend.

I then worked on packing up Mom's stuff! TWO FULL SUITCASES! Alan will bring them. They also contained some stuff for Annie! Because of our travel dates, Alan will go first with two suitcases filled with things that he will leave at Annie's. When we come on Friday, he is going to pick us up from Ontario and we will head straight to San Diego. Because the car is a sedan, we have to fit four suitcases, three carryons and three people! I will still have things that are for Annie... HER PINEAPPLE CAKES AND UNDER THE SHELVES BASKETS! She will have to wait until we head back up to Torrance to get those. Or maybe I can get Alan to carry some in his carryon bag! We shall see!

I also worked on Isaiah's room... It is looking better... but he won't be sleeping in there as that's going to be our packing station. We currently have six suitcases and three carryons in there! 

The rest of the evening flew by... I will go back to my friend's house tomorrow... not tonight. I was feeling a bit tired!

A Speedy Friday!

I was up early and ran my 10K... yes, slow but steady...

Then I got the hangers reorganized after my shower and it was time to get going... I wanted to leave earlier as I usually check the recycling before taking off! And I couldn't believe it... I actually arrived by 8:46!

I started with my Revelation study... then read the news... the morning flew by!

I had brought my own lunch and it was so delicious. Cheese with German crackers!

I had a student come to chat... which was great and made the day go by even faster!

After she left, I watched TV shows and 5pm came around!

I scootered back home and stopped to give things to a gal who used to live at our Danhsui house. I came home and checked the recycling and then set up as we had dinner guests! Alan went to Costco and bought the salads and they were so delicious!

What a fun evening!

A Different Kind of Sabbath

I was up early and did my slow 10K.

After a quick shower, I completed a few tasks: took down the clothes and put the stuff away, organized the new books I got, looked over the calendar for this week and then I was on the sofa to read a bit. 

Oh, I should mention that the MOE called and asked if I could come in... to sub... but they found someone else! I was so relieved.

Alan came home at 10am and we were out by 11 to get Coco drinks after a stop at the library. I picked up the book that I had recommended the library to buy: When less becomes more! The book arrived and I picked it up... 

We went to Costco and I went in and bought salads while Alan went to RTMart and got the glass on his cell phone replaced. We then ate at the food court... YEAH... AC and YUMMY Costco Salads.

We came back home by 3:15 and I took a Power Nap. At 4pm, I had prayer with a sister and at 5pm, I was out the door, heading to my friend's house. I was there just before 6pm and the people started arriving to pick up things. Wow... what a tornado of activities! I cleaned out both fridge and sorted through a huge tub of knick-knacks! I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will have to go back on Saturday and I should be finished!

I left at 8:45 and got home to have Family Time at 9:30! That was so good... 

After that finished, I put away the stuff I brought back. Our fridge is now packed with lots of different sauces and goodies!

I blogged and put together the things I will bring for tomorrow... and headed off to bed... It was a very different kind of Sabbath...

A Lot Going On Wednesday

I was up early and ran my 10K... IN THE BLARING HEAT even though I was out by 6am. Still not early enough!

I took a quick shower and went down to stack the recycling for pick-up! I had to leave before they arrived as I had Bible study. I made the delicious couscous with spinach salad. SO GOOD! The other gals brought an assortment of goodies... And we looked at Ephesians 5:3-8. 

I was home by 1pm and it was hot. Alan was home and we chatted a bit before I took a Power Nap and headed out for tutoring! We wanted to talk about CHURCH issues! Please pray!

The hour of tutoring flew by... and on the way home, I stopped and paid a couple of bills.

For dinner, I had roast beef and hard boiled egg and noodles and more couscous salad. YUMMY!

At 8:30, I had my Revelation Study on line!

It was a very muggy evening!

A Productive MOE Day!

I was up early and yes... it was hot... But I was out for my 10K before 6am! I have to get up even earlier... Or else run at 10pm!

I was home and took a shower and went down to B1. I checked the recycling and then took off... I made it there. 

I used the time to watch a video series for my Bible study on the book by Randy Alcorn, Heaven. I read the news about the ceasefire... and then I watched the old TV series, Matlock.

Today I had a stream of students who came to talk... so that made the day fly by... At 5:08, I clocked out and headed to the friend's house that I'm helping to clean. Several groups of people came to take things... It was very busy... and I had to supervise and get things tidied up. One couple brought their kid who was way too hyper! I was so glad when they left. I sat down and worked for another hour and a half and then scootered home. I will have to be back on Thursday... and maybe even on Saturday. We shall see!

I got home by 9:45 and blogged and ate and put things away. I then made the couscous and spinach salad for my Bible study tomorrow morning.

I was so very ready to go to bed!

A Somewhat Easy Day!

I was up early and had a nice time to sit with Jesus!

I did go out for my 10K... that was not so nice as I really do need to be out of the house by 5:30 or else the heat is unbearable. I was home and took a shower and headed out to th post office! I was trying to mail 15 kilos of books to Brazil. They don't do slow boat mailing. And they said that the customs in Brazil might charge her a 'tax' to get the box out of customs! OH NO! The mailing cost over 150US$. And I do not trust the 'tax' that they will charge. So... I lugged the books back. Since I was out, I went to the library to pick up a book that I had reserved, but I decided not to read. (If you want to know why, you can ask in the comment!) I also went to PXMart to buy tissues, a bottle of Coca Cola (To bring to MOE) and a carton of milk. (I didn't want to go to Costco!)

I was home and it was already 3:30. I had prayer time at 4pm.

It was hot and Alan had the AC on... He had a meeting at church.

Isaiah came home and went down to do his 30 minutes of exercise!

Tomorrow: MOE!

God Strengthened Sunday

I was up but not super early... In fact, it felt so good to sleep in!

I did some cleaning at home and then headed out at 8:45 to the "house" and worked from 9:30 to 12:30! I went from room to room and gathered laundry basket loads and IKEA loads of stuff and brought things down to the first floor to organize. I bagged up the freezers... Alan came at 12:30 and we loaded up the car! I scootered home. He drove. We got home almost at the exact same time!

I then used the hour to put things away... but I didn't finish and we were out the door... A sweet sister that I've been training has been super consistent in coming early to help with set-up! She also buys snacks to share... What a joy to have her around!!!!

I was feeling tired, but the LORD sustained me as I was the translator. We also had many newcomers!

We ate dinner. I helped to clean up and we dropped Fenny home.

We were home by 8:15 and I had to work to finish putting everything away. Lots of food items... good stuff... I also cut up fruit! By 9:30 I was finished... and had prayer time with a sister.

Looking ahead, it's going to be another packed week... MOE, Bible studies, meeting up with people, and going to the "house" to finish up everything!
