He's Out!

I was up early and I just love looking out to the gray skies... 

After my quiet time, Isaiah's tennis was cancelled as it was drizzling. And that guy's free climb up Taipei 101 was also cancelled due to the weather. I went out for a run as Alan messaged saying that he will checkout and he can do it on his own! YIPPY!

His total bill was 50US$! Of course, he paid 30US$ for the double registration when he went in on Wednesday. But still... total: 80US$! All the meds and three nights in a five person room and the meals. We are happy that he's home and the sun came out to welcome him back.

At 2:50 we took off to pick up Fenny and went to the 'new' house to finish up the cleaning. And we decided to have dinner out there even though I had made this delicious chicken, spinach tomato dish in the crock pot. I also made the cookie dough for church tomorrow. YIPPY!

The chicken won't last... but it will be good to have it for next week.

We ate at a steak house... it was ok. Next time we will try the Hot Pot Place or the Teppanyaki Place. Alan went to get the car but it was towed. He couldn't read the words on the ground that said: "Parking only until 6pm". He walked back and Isaiah and Fenny went with him to pick up the car. 1400 plus the taxi fare. I went up and finished up at the house, steam mopping the floor and scrubbing some tough spots. They came back just as I was almost finished. So, I put all the dirty towels in a bucket to soak and will go back again as we need to call a plumber. There is a small leak in the kitchen sink. We also need to change the water filter. But since I got a Brita, we will use that first before spending the money to replace the filters! The place looks so nice. We dropped Fenny off and came home at around 10pm!

Tomorrow is another full day!

Not A Date Day!

I was up early and after Isaiah went off to work, I just stayed around at home... messaging Alan. He didn't need me to come so I went out for my run. It got quite warm.

Isaiah was set to be home at 1pm, but he was home late. We headed off to his new apartment, taking over a huge load of stuff. He unloaded while I sprayed the place down with bleach. Then we hung up the curtains and moved the furniture around a bit. He then vacuumed while I worked on the bathrooms and the kitchen. The fridge needed cleaning and the stove. 

At 3:30, we went to the household registry and got Isaiah out of our Neihu household registry and signed him into his own place. Wow... 

We went back to the house and tried to finish up a few things... but we will need to come back again. I think we need at least another five hours of cleaning... the bathroom floors, the whole house needs to be mopped, the back balcony and the kitchen cabinets. We are planning to go tomorrow... 

Alan will be discharged tomorrow, so we will head over and maybe by tomorrow night, everything will be finished. Isaiah isn't moving in... Fenny is in the process of looking for a new job.... so we shall see!

We came back and had our dinner and watched House... 

The day flew by...

PR Day... Hospital Visit!

I was up early... and just relaxed... I got my talk notes and PPT finished... and went for a run... the air was so crisp with a slight drizzle. I loved it... 

I had a nice lunch and then rested until about 2pm and went to the hospital!

Alan was resting... and the doctor said that he can be discharged by Saturday. YIPPY! Two more nights at the hospital with another patient that moans... 

I got to talk to the patient next door: scooter accident. Riding too fast and slid... He had to get three pins in his back... and now he is doing PT. It's really a miracle that he isn't dead!

Two of our church friends came and visited... they brought pork jerky and tomatoes... YUMMY! These are the two elders that have supported Alan and I through the church ordeal! We are blessed to call them family!

I came home at around 6:45... it was a nice cold ride back home... 

I didn't have tutoring, so I watched one episode of House... and blogged and checked my emails. Yes, I didn't turn on the WiFi until after I got home... 

It was a very blessed PR Day!

Doctor Appointment -- Hospital Stay!

I was up early... and it felt cold... and it was... 

I went out for my run and the recycling people came and I saw them as I was right near the apartment complex. They were already finished! Yeah... but again, they didn't pick up several things... if I was there, I could have 'begged' them, and they would have said YES... oh well...

I took a shower and Alan and I headed out to his doctor's appointments. But we didn't need to go to see the dermatologist as the infectious disease doctor advised Alan to check into the hospital and do the IV drip with the stronger drugs as the oral medication did not seem to do the job as fast as he had hoped. So... there were no bed available unless we checked in through the Emergency Sector. That just meant that we had to pay about 30US$ instead of 8US$. So... we did... 

Alan waited in the ER while I came home to pack up his stuff. I also canceled my tutoring since I had no idea how long things would take. I'm glad I did... 

He got a bed and the doctor came to look at it... and he said, "This is not so serious... Hum? Why did you decide to check into the hospital?" So, he thinks by this weekend, Alan will be able to check out. And the drugs really do work fast... Even after the first round, we can see a difference. I brought him lunch and we ordered his meals for the next three days... but the dinner that came was not tasty... The portion was small and there was absolutely no flavor to whatever was in there. I guess that's the point of a healthy meal??? Alan looked at me and said, "Maybe we will cancel the meals?"

I came home at around 8pm and will go back again tomorrow... Which is my PR Day... There is really nothing to do there... 

Oh, the hospital does have a second hand store and I got a nice iPhone case for about 80cents! The design was exactly what I would buy... I also got two forks for Isaiah... and yes, 80cents!

Bible Study Tuesday!

I was up early and the weather was chilly... Yippy!

I didn't go for a run as I had our Bible study group at 10am and I had things to buy and drop off beforehand.

I made it by 9:58.

We had only three people, but the discussion and sharing were so honest and deep. We didn't finish until 1:48! WOW... and there was such an abundance of food!

I came home, put everything away and rested.

Then at 3:18, I went out for my run and it was fabulous... 13 with a feel of 9! 

I came home, took a shower and made dinner for Alan. We then watched one episode of House.

Isaiah was home and had one of my homemade chicken taco.

I also made an appointment for Alan to see the dermatologist as the doctor will most likely clean out the blister! He is doing much better. I think he will have to do another round of antibiotics, but no need for anti-inflammatory medication. We shall see... His appointments are for tomorrow!

My tutoring cancelled... YIPPY!

That gave me time to work on things... like a load of laundry.

Memorial Service & Prayer Gathering

I was up early and thinking I'd have to go for a run early as the Memorial Service was going to be at 10am. But I decided to cancel my tutoring and that was a wise decision!

I left at 9am and got there by 9:45 and found the Hall for the Service. There were many old friends... When the casket when in, I left... And got home at 12:48! After a delicious lunch, I took a nap! Wow... that was so refreshing. I finally went out for my run at 3pm and it started to sprinkle. I was home by 4:10 and started baking. While the cheese & chicken bread was in the oven, I took a nice shower!

Dinner at home... and we watched House.

At 7:30 we headed to church for the Prayer Gathering! We decided we'd pray on the pulpit, asking God to redeem whatever was not pleasing to Him. The hour flew by!

We got home at 9:30 and I wasn't feeling too tired. The nap definitely helped!

Interesting Sunday!

I was up and got Isaiah up as he had his tennis tournament.

After getting Alan settled and he took his pills, I went off for my walk. I used the walk to complete a few errands: pay a bill, get passbooks updated, and return the helmet face shield. I didn't need to buy bread as we had enough.

I got home and helped with the recycling. My usual Sunday task. 

Isaiah came home for lunch and I had a huge salad!

After a 30 minute nap, I was off for tutoring! YEAH! The hour flew by and at 3pm, when I came down, the Love Cafe and sanctuary were set up! YIPPY!

I set out the cookie dough and the kids made them.

I had to be the translator, but the service was great! Alan rode his scooter to church! Wow...

I got home at 8:30 and there was a bag of goodies on our front door... Now, Isaiah has nice new plates for his place... And lots of other items!

I blogged and prayed with a sister and went to bed early as it's going to be an early start tomorrow!
