What Do You Think: Packed or Unpacked?

I was up and got Mom up and out... 

I had planned this day to be filled with many tasks... but first... a massage. I had not been there for a month... I can't believe that... The last time was 12/19!

90 minutes flew by... 

Then it was time to go to WGE to drop things off before heading out to the route I ran last year on January 6th. The run will be tomorrow... I'm not joining it... but for the sake of nostalgia, I wanted to run 10k there. What fun... 

Then I went to donate blood... YEP... I was looking to donate right after my birthday and a month has passed... but that's ok as I can only donate four times a year... not 6 times... I talked to the people in charge, suggesting that they should raise the age to 75! They have started the process of changing the rules as they realize that this is a super-aging society.

I went back to WGE, stopping to get pictures printed. I had not taken a shower... so that's what I did... A nice long shower... and I made myself a huge thermos of hot coffee with milk tea... SO YUMMY!

I sat there and read before it was time to go and pick up the pictures and head home... The day flew by.

I got Mom to bed and then headed out again to pick up a foam cushion... Annie, you'll see... and also to buy more diapers... AIYO!

I was very ready for bed...

Unpacked Sabbath...

I was up and got Mom up and out and cleaned her room...

Then I had breakfast... English muffins... I love them! I splurged and bought them from Costco!

I got my books and settled down to read... 

A sister dropped by as her daughter is leaving soon... then another sister wanted to pray together as she is facing a decision...

I finally went for my run at 12noon and finished my 10 and I should hit 60 by Saturday.

After a quick shower, I went to Shopee to pick up the shoe bag that I had ordered for Isaiah.

I forgot to get pictures printed... oh well...

I was home and had only 30 minutes before Mom was due home... 

How did the day go by so quickly???

After she went to bed, I tutored from 7:30-8:30. 

Isaiah went out to dinner with Fenny!

Back to Monday Title...

I was up early and got Mom up... and there are more things to do these days... massage cream, her heel ointment, poop check...

After she left, I went to do the recycling... And then it was time to go for a run... as I knew I wouldn't have time otherwise.

I made spaghetti and went to Costco to get the chicken. On the way home, I stopped to pick up a few things and finally arrived home. I got the chicken in the crock pot and put everything else away. Then, it was time to head out as I had tutoring at 4:30 and it was quite chilly riding the scooter there. 

I had tutoring at 7:30... So, it was a rush to get Mom to bed and to eat a simple dinner. Then prayer time at 10 and that went long... So, it was definitely a long day!

Trying For An "Unpacked" Day!

I was up early... I love the skyline before the sun rises...

I got Mom up and out and then did some tidying up before going to Beitou to buy two plants, two pots and potting soil. Alan and I decided to pay for these items so that there will be some new plants in our complex. The new Board approved it.

I got everything home and the plants look nice in the garden area. I also bought a few smaller plants to put around the complex.

I came up and had a late lunch. Salad... it was hot and I decided to take a nap... Wow... it was difficult to get up.

So, I didn't go out for my 10k until 3:37.

I was home and got Mom's dinner in the microwave and took a quick shower. 

Isaiah was home and we had a leftover bento box for him.

I made pickled cucumbers as I bought vinegar this last time from Costco.

I read from Mom Bea's blog that Alan has arrived in San Diego!

Totally PACKED!

I was up and got Mom out and went for a 9k run... Yes... I only had time for 9k.

Then I met up with a dear friend for brunch. She was in an uber and hit traffic, which gave me time to head to the Family Mart to pick up the HSR tickets for Kaohsiung on 1/31. YEAH.

The brunch restaurant was nice, but the portion was very small and it wasn't cheap!

We will meet up again... and I went to the church to clean up and pick up before going to tutor. I was going to stop to buy diapers, but no time...

Tutoring went well... and I was finished and headed home. The sister who I meet with once a month was early. She had to leave at 5pm... which was just before Mom came home. I got Mom's dinner ready.

Isaiah came home and had dinner... 

I got Mom to bed and had Bible study at 9pm.

What a totally packed day!

The passage for our Inauguration Service yesterday was from Psalm 127... here are the first two verses!

Seek Him First!

Smooth Day...

I slept in a bit... and then went out for a walk to get some eggs and bread.

I was home and Isaiah came back from playing tennis.

I got Mom up and eating breakfast.

We were both vigilant about keeping an eye on her.

At 2pm we left for church... We had to leave early as I needed to drop Mom off and then go and find a parking space since Alan is not around. It took me 20 minutes before I finally found a space.

It was great as a dear sister came early to help with set up and I brought lots of snacks. I made coffee, hot chocolate and a strawberry tea.

It was the inauguration service and I represented Alan... that was fun!

After the service, I drove to drop Fenny off... wow... We were home by 8:30! 

I got Mom to bed and had prayer time with a sister... 

What a day! Overall, it went very well.

Helping Out...

It was a long day... 

The New Complex Board had their meeting, which I had to join. And there was a lady who was out of control... she's not a board member but a member of this community. Wow... She took up so much time... 

Oh... let me backtrack... I went for a run early this morning. Isaiah had his EMAW group. 

Then the meeting... I let the new members know what are things that were undecided or still need to be completed and I went back up as Isaiah was leaving to meet with Fenny. 

I cut Mom's hair and had her breakfast ready... A friend came over to pick up the baby gate and stayed to talk... It was more like counseling... and then at 3pm, the person who comes once a month arrived. Things are going well... 

Mom was listening to the Tang Dynasty Poem. But after dinner, she got up and I wasn't paying attention and banged her head. Yup... I need to remember: can't leave her alone even for a second! I was trying to put on a coat (don't ask me why as I had the heater right next to her) and fell off the dining room chair. I think she banged her head on the floor. At least it wasn't bad as she just slipped off the chair. 

After she went to bed, I was able to get things done.

I have memorized Proverbs 3:5-6, but 7-8 are so great... How did I miss them?
