Restful & Busy Wednesday

I was up and out and ran my 10k as I knew the day would be busy.

After Mom left, I went to help with the recycling. Once that was done, I went upstairs and settled down on the sofa with two books. YIPPY!

12:30 came too quickly. I headed out for my 1pm class. Again, what a great class! Absolutely delightful!

I was home and grabbed my other tutoring bag and headed out. The ride up was not a problem as it wasn't raining, so I got there five minutes early.

That hour went by smoothly and I was home by 6:07. The helper left and I ate my dinner and got Mom to bed. Yes, I had the complex meeting at 7:30... And after tonight, I have only one more! It was another long one... I had to finally just tell the lady to stop... 

Isaiah worked and went out to dinner with Fenny.

Alan was home correcting papers.

Abby is in Atherton, California. Angel Lin might be able to see her and surprise her with some Chinese goodies! I know Annie has bought her a few things already... It's just so nice as there are so many people who will go out of their way to make Abby feel special since I can be there to do it! I just want to say a big THANK YOU!

Big Mistake!

I was up and went for only 8k. I rushed home to get Mom up and out and got ready to head to my Tuesday morning Bible study.

I looked for my keys... Can't find them... what? I looked in all my jacket pockets and bags... and then I looked in the key tray... I SEE ALAN'S KEYS! NO!!!! He took my bunch! I tried to contact him. He is playing tennis, so that means NO WAY!

I messaged him and headed out in the car! And I knew it would be tremendously difficult to find parking. And it was... I was a little late... but I got there. Another sister had helped to set up!

And Alan came with my scooter, but he kept the basket on my scooter... With my bag of stuff, I had a very difficult time carrying everything to my Soochow study!

I skipped going to WGE and just came home. I put everything away and just rested as Mom was home all too soon.

Tonight, we had a short Complex meeting for the newly elected/appointed members. They had to decide who will have what position. I was home by 8:15pm  and it was a miracle that they 'selected' the key individuals as no one wanted to do anything! We didn't have Family Time as Isaiah decided to play basketball tonight.

Tomorrow is going to be another long day... with a LONG complex meeting in the evening!

Cooler Day!

I was up early but decided not to rush as I was taking the morning as Part 1 of my Sabbath. I was asked to teach a business class as the teacher got stuck in the Philippines because his passport got stolen! So, I am rearranging my weekly schedule to have two mornings as my Sabbath "Day". Sabbath on Thursday is only 7 hours... So, having two mornings will be nice!

I got Mom up and out and sat and rested and read. Delightful!

At 11am, I went out for my 10K. I decided not to rush, so no WGE and I just took a shower at home. Then at 1pm, I headed out to the old house. Most everything was gone... but she packed a lot of my stuff and I'm not sure where the stuff is now... maybe it's downstairs in the recycling pile. I wasn't going to look! I sprayed down the bathroom and cleaned her room a bit and consolidated what few items that are still left in the house! Her brother should be coming back on Sunday to get the stuff. The 50 minutes flew by. I had to leave to go and tutor!

The hour went by so quickly. It was 3:22 before I left. I was meeting a friend who needed to sign his kids into our Household Registry. So, I made it! That didn't take long and I was on my scooter heading home at 4:45, stopping to pay a bill before getting home. 

I got Mom's dinner ready and started on the cake for the Soochow Bible study kids. I had asked one of the sisters to do the simple lunch for tomorrow! YIPPY!

Mom was home and I sat down to eat as well... delicious leftover from Saturday's banquet. I was so hungry!

Tonight I had tutoring from 7:30 to 9:30 as I have our monthly Complex meeting on Wednesday night. She is set to take the test on Sunday. Please pray that she passes!

Fruit-full Faith-filled Stewardship!

I was up early and just hung around home to get some things done for the week...

I did a load of laundry.

I prepared for this week's class/tutoring.

I went down to check the recycling.

I did not go to WGE. 

I got Mom up and ready. She started her eating... and continued all the way to church! We had to get to church early as Alan had to meet up with one of his discipleship guys. For dinner, she even had a piece of chocolate cake with homemade frosting... Wow...

It was nice to be there early. I brought the box of snacks from the wedding and chips and set everything up. The coffee was good!

Even though several families were not there, we still had a good group of people. THANK YOU JESUS!

Cooler Weather Coming Soon...

I was up and ran 10k. I hit 61 for this week! YIPPY!

Then yes, I was off to WGE and also stopped at PXMart and Miramar Entertainment Center. Isaiah wanted me to help him get movie tickets with his coupons. 

I was home and checked on the recycling and got Mom up.

Abby called and I had a chance to talk to her... YIPPY!

Isaiah went off with Fenny... They were going to the Mall for Burgers and then go to the movie at 6pm.

Alan and I had a wedding banquet, so the helper was here by 5pm. It was a great banquet as we saw friends we hadn't seen for maybe 20 years! And we took home most of the leftover! The food was so delicious!

Goal Setting Friday!

I was up early and went out as I looked at the weather... if I try to go out later, the temperature will be quite hot... I ran my 10k and came back to care for Mom.

She was off and I went to WGE for a shower and a quick workout.

Alan and I met up at 10:30 and we went to a new restaurant. The shakes were excellent! We ordered two!

Then we went over to the old house... what a disaster! The living room was filled with her stuff. She had stuff everywhere. The rent is paid until the end of the month, so they have two weeks to get everything out and the room cleaned. I told them to take the mattress down and dispose of it. I won't describe what that looked like!

We came back home and worked on our goals for 2025. Our verse of focus: Jeremiah 17:7-8. We will not cease to bear fruit even as we are 'senior citizens'. 

I had tutoring, but they did not show up. So... what a waste of time yet again!

I got home and sorted through things and got Mom to bed.

It was nice and early... YEAH!

So, I watched a TV show!

A Needed Sabbath

I was up and decided to run later... wrong decision as it got really hot!

I got Mom up and out and put a load in. Then I had a nice relaxing breakfast before settling down on the sofa. 

I hung up the wash and made sure there was enough food for everyone's dinner. I turned on the WiFi at 1:30 and sent off the talk notes and PPT! YEAH!

Oh... I finished my first book and spent time to pray through the goals for 2025. While at home, a neighbor came by to borrow my scooter. She then stayed and talked... 

I left at 4pm to do a quick workout at WGE. I hadn't been there for four days... 

The complex had issues. One of the appointed members refused to be part of the complex board. I called and talked to him and he is as stubborn as can be. So, we have to figure out what to do!

Mom was home and after she went to bed, I went over to the old house. The gal is to move by 10am tomorrow!

We had Family Time at 9:30!
