Another Day of Rest!

I was up early... and after my time, I went back to sleep...

At 8:45, I did go for my usual 10K!

When I came back, I showered and used my morning to read and called Ms. Hsieh for an appointment at 1pm. At 12:30, I dropped things off for a friend and went for a massage. It was so nice! She gave me two tzongtzi made by her mother in law and they were so delicious.

I was home by 3:30pm! And I settled on the sofa and read and rested! 

Alan and Isaiah went to play basketball and came home for dinner.

I got to talk to Abby but we didn't have Family Time as she had to be off to be with the American Team at the Mountain!

Tomorrow is a holiday, so I had cancelled my tutoring! YIPPY!

Lots Happening Wednesday!

I was up early and went back to sleep... I slept a total of seven hours last night! YIPPY!

And then after helping with the recycling, I was off to meet up with Elaine. We changed from Monday to today... We usually meet up on the second Monday of each month... but this month... well...

I left at 12:30 to try to make it to the Water Polo Masters Game Award Ceremony... and God worked it out. I made it... then my tutoring cancelled... so I was able to go home and rest. I finally went out for a run and came back to bake and cook: zucchini muffins and cream cheese zucchini veggies... I made three veggie dishes... Alan can have a grilled ham and cheese sandwich... ha, ha, ha... Isaiah can have a tzongtzi!

I had tutoring at 7:30... and when that was finished, I blogged and checked my email and went to bed.

Taxes Filed...

I was up early... and did not go out to run until later on in the morning. I went back to sleep... 

I ran my 10k and then came home for a shower and made some grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and fried up some zucchinis. YUMMY!

Alan came home and after he ate, we went out to get the taxes filed. Very easy and fast! We didn't get a refund but then we didn't pay any taxes this year! Nothing was deducted from our paycheck!

We then went and ran a few errands, including buying Coco drinks for Alan!

We were home by 4:30 and it was nice to relax... no tutoring or Bible study tonight!

A Raining Monday...

I was up early but went back to bed after my morning time... 

I decided to run to the SongShan Sports Center to cheer on a dear brother who is on the Taiwan Masters Games Water Polo Team! The next one is in 2027 in Japan. They think I should sign up for an event... 

I got a ride from the wife as I would have never made it back in time for my tutoring!

It was a great hour as we talked about the Dragon Boat Festival. I then decided to scooter down to Chung Shan North Road Section 2 to pick up our family portrait! YEAH!

I was home and put things away and had prayer time with a dear sister. I had done a load of laundry when I came back from the Water Polo event and got everything out from the dryer.

We had plenty of dinner for Alan and Isaiah.

The rest of the evening went by quite nicely. I even had time to watch another detective show.

Speaking Sunday!

Yes, I was up early and the day flew by... 

I used the morning to get a few chores done... and then this afternoon, I was the speaker on: PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER!

I love sharing... 

I gave them time to pray based on Ephesians 3:14-19 and then I asked them to pray for the persecuted! For dinner we had tzong-tzi and there were lots of leftovers... so we brought about 10 home! YIPPY!

This week is going to be a busy one... but Friday is a holiday: Dragon Boat Festival!

Graduation and Mission Impossible!

I was up early and did get my 10k in. I was thinking about going to run again in the afternoon but the day flew by... the weather was so nice in the afternoon... cloudy... cooler... 

OK... what happened?

I was invited by a dear sister to attend her graduation ceremony since none of her family members can be here. In Taiwan, not all the graduates get to walk across the stage. Only one per department and she was selected. So... I went... and knowing how crowded it would be, I got there early. God provided a scooter parking... and even getting there early, it was packed! But I found a great place to stand. The ceremony was long and after taking a few pictures at the end, I scootered home and then met up with her for lunch! So... that was finished at 4pm! And we had bought movie tickets for 18:50! I wanted to take a nap... so I wasn't able to fit in a second run! Darn it...

As for the movie... action packed... lots of running... the peel off mask... big stunts... entertaining!

Not My Usual Friday!

I was up at the usual time... and I ran 10k... but in extreme heat!

Isaiah didn't have to go to work this morning as he had a company 3 on 3 basketball tournament! His team did not move up to the semi finals... oh well...

Alan went to watch, so we didn't have our usual date!

I went to Costco and bought ketchup! We were out... this household cannot live without ketchup! I thought I had two bottles, but it turned out that I had five bottles of salsa! And NO ketchup! I also bought milk. I stopped to see where they were playing but I didn't stay. I had to preserve my voice! 

I was home and had a salad for lunch with Cantonese BBQ pork slices. So yummy! I got the meat from Costco!

At 3:50, I took off for my tutoring. The two hours passed slowly as the older student was just not wanting to work. 

I left at 6:30 and hopefully, they will transfer the money that they owe me... 

I ran a few errands: bought Chinese medicine, paid a few bills and bought movie tickets for Mission Impossible!

I was home at 8pm and our neighbor came down for a visit. It was very nice to see him.

Overall, the day went by relatively fast!
