A Very Long Sunday

I was up early and knew that it would be a long day...

Even with no run, the day went on and on and on...

First, there was the Young Adults Fellowship... only three people! Very disappointing... but I just trust God with this...

And then I walked to our old house as I had picked up the remote and wanted to try it. Perfect... the AC unit in the living room works!

I ran back to church as tutoring was at 2pm. That went well... and when that was finished, I had the Love Cafe set up... and service started soon after that...

Alan spoke and Isaiah translated... 

For Love Feast, we had tong-tzi. Since people just brought them home, we were cleaning up by 7pm! I was home by 7:30 and the recycling was... well... it was what it was... More stuff to post to give away!

The lady had come to pick up three huge bags of bedding while we were at church. And another guy came to get pots and pans... one more lady came at 9:30 to pick up another pile... I had one no show... exercise stuff... I'll post those items again!

I tested a small sewing machine and it works great... I will keep that as it's lighter and easier to get out than the old ones that I have...

I also tested these plate warmer... quite interesting.

Alan was in bed by 8pm and I had prayer time at 9pm. I was in bed soon after that... 

There is forecast for rain... yippee!

A Free Saturday? Sort Of...

I was up and did run my usual 8KM... No rain... partly cloudy... warmer than the day before...

After a shower, I went down and there were things to give away from the recycling pile... LOTS OF THINGS... 

I then called the AC guy and he will be coming on Monday afternoon... 

Alan headed out for Soochow's graduation ceremony... and I headed out to trim a friend's hair... She prepared a scrumptious lunch for me... 

I stayed until 4pm and drove home... And there were more things left for me to give away... One guy already came to pick up a huge bag... and another guy came and picked up two more bags... I tested several things, including a mite vacuum for sofas and mattresses and a sewing machine... a mini one... Which I think I will keep... if it works.

I went and picked up Isaiah's books that he reserved at the local library and I also paid a bill and bought some bread... 

The rest of the evening was spent at home... So nice!

AC Unit Installed...

I was up and just so happy to see the clouds...

The run was warm as it did not rain... nor did it drizzle... but it was pleasantly cloudy! No turtle... but lots of birds... they just mowed this huge patch of lawn and the birds were enjoying a feast!

I was home and after a shower, went down to put things for pick up... two computer cases and a remote control car! They were promptly picked up!

Alan and I had a nice brunch and didn't do much more... the AC guys were to come at 3pm to the old house. It was good to nap... 

He went to the old house and I went to tutor at 4pm! And only one kid needed tutoring, so I was home early.

Alan had sent photos... it's a very nice AC unit! YEAH!

We had dinner together... he bought KFC... 

Prayer at 8:45 and I spent the rest of the evening packing up things to give away! YEAH!

I Love PR Days!

I was up and it was fairly cool... at least it was cloudy. I ran my usual 8KM. And, thank you Annie for asking: I will run longer when the weather gets cooler... like in November! Now, I just try to run 50KM a week!

I was back and Isaiah and Alan took off... and I ate my breakfast... not as scrumptious as in Germany or Switzerland... 

I put a load of clothes in the washer and it was finished in 25 minutes. Most of it went into the dryer and the rest I hung up!

I plopped myself on the sofa and read... and dozed off...

At 12:30, I went and ran errands, which took longer than I expected! I wasn't back until 2pm. But I got everything done and bought!

I had lunch and ate two Milky Way bars for fun... 

The rest of the afternoon went by nicely... and at 5pm I headed out for tutoring. The weather was brilliant... At church, I cleaned up the games that we had left, put away things, including the coffee pot that I brought home to clean... and tutoring went well... of course, we went late again, so I didn't get home until almost 8PM.

I had time to put things away before prayer time started at 8:45. And then Family Time at 9:30.

I love PR Days!

Full Day of Tutoring...

I was up and yes, I went out... it was cool... sprinkling... and I didn't see anyone out there... not even a turtle... but about half way through, one of our House of Praise brothers was out there... so running with him helped me to run faster! YEAH!

On the way back up our little hill, I saw Isaiah and Alan riding down. They both left quite early... Alan went to the gym and Isaiah was heading to work!

I took a shower and ate a nice breakfast and then went down for the recycling... And another miracle: they were able to take everything! 

I was back up and prepped and headed out for tutoring. I was planning to run a few errands, but instead, I just came home for lunch and a nap! YEAH!

At 3, I headed out again... the hour flew by... This student is ready for first grade!

I was home by 5:30 and switched my stuff and headed out again... Tutoring at 6pm!

I was so glad to be home!

Prayer time at 8:45...

Bible Study & Tutoring...

I was up and went out... ran my 8KM... it was a light drizzle and wonderfully overcast! Lots of puddles and one turtle and lots of birds and snails... It was a delightful run!

After a shower, I had no time to rest as I had Bible study at 10am and I try to go early... I had to time it in order to avoid the downpour. 

We only had four people... and the two people who were going to get online didn't... One was busy with her baby and I'm not sure what happened to the other gal... 

I stayed at church as I had tutoring at 3:30. So, I went out and walked around and bought fruit and hot dog buns... YEAH! It wasn't raining too badly, so it was quite pleasant to walk around!

The tutoring went well... and I was home by 5:30! 

And... I had a free evening... Well... sort of... 

Prayer time at 8:45 and I was ready for bed... But I had to look over the prep for tomorrow's tutoring!

Another Productive Day!

I was up and even though it was not raining, it was still overcast! I ran 8KM.

After a shower, I got started with the tasks for today!

I wanted to look for some pictures that Abby wanted... which meant pulling out two entire shelves of photo albums!

I also had two boxes to mail and I had to go while it wasn't raining. One box went to Taichung and the other one to Germany. It took less than an hour!

I came home and made two phone calls: One to the AC guy for our house and one to the AC company for our old house! Two units at our new house are having problems and we just got them less than two years ago! Our old house needs a new window unit!

When that was all done, I had lunch... leftover ramen! So delicious... 

Then I prepped and took off to tutor... in the down pour!

I was home and got ready for my next tutoring session and left in the down pour!

Both tutoring sessions went well... and I was home by 6:45! I went late for both sessions!

I still had all the picture albums to sort and put back. Yes, I found the pictures that Abby wanted... 

I was so glad that I had 'nothing' this evening...
