A Very Full Day!

I was up early... and yes, I went out... only 8K... I could not go longer...

I had Bible study at 10 but I went early to buy a few sandwiches and to set up!

It was a great study... again, we all stayed to talk... 

I had my massage at 1:30 and I made it!

I ran back to church as tutoring started at 3:30 and went until 5:30!

I finally got home and ate dinner with Alan before tutoring at 7pm.

That also went late... but we finished three entries!

So, now I sit to blog... and I will be heading to bed before 11pm.

Tomorrow.. yes... you guessed it: early... hot... full...

BUT Thursday... PR Day! YEAH!

It Got Hotter!

I was up early... and out... but I don't think there is going to be a time that's 'early enough' to avoid the heat!

I will have to wait until October... or November!

So... I got home and took a shower... and then went back to bed... 

Alan and Isaiah left for work and I put a load of laundry in.

At 10:30, I took off as I have my monthly catch up time with a dear friend. I got there at 11:03.

And I had set my alarm because the time always flies by... and I'm so glad I did... 1:03, it rang... and we left together and I got to my tutoring at few minutes late. But I stayed until 3:20... so that worked out! She had to go and pick up her kids.

I scooter back and the laundry that I hung up was completely dried!

I turned on the AC for about 15 minutes and started to work on a few prep... I realized that I have more students now... I tutor Monday to Saturday for about 1.5 hours each day... And starting in July, I will be at the MOE... That job is not for the money but for the status of keeping my feet involved in the English education on this island!

When that was finished, I started to renew our car insurance only to find out that one part of the insurance had expired... anyhow, after a phone call, and getting back on line, I got things sorted.

Isaiah was home quite early... And Alan arrived soon after. Isaiah went to take a nap... and Alan had sandwiches and salad for dinner!

Prayer time at 8:45... and when that was finished, I was so ready for bed...

Yes, it's going to be another early morning start...

Can It Get Any Hotter?

I was up early even though I went to bed so late.

And I did go and run... 8K. 

I had tutoring at 11am and that went super well.

I was home and put the food in the crock pot... Goulash soup! Five potatoes, two carrots, one onion, one bag of celery, one white radish, five Bavarian sausages, sliced beef and tofu... I know... tofu is not the usual ingredient, but I love tofu! And one box of cherry tomatoes. It was very delicious!

I was feeling so tired from the heat... so I went and took a nap.

Alan and Isaiah had tennis... but they were back quite early.

I made an appointment for Isaiah to get a massage... and I posted all the items to give away. Hopefully by the end of this weekend, everything will be gone!

We had Marriage Encounter this evening with four couples... and we watched the Chosen, the miracle at Cana... and talked about Pentecost and God's first miracle... It was truly a blessed time! And we brought home an empty pot... 

Isaiah went and hung out with Fenny.

The day flew by...

And the answer to the question: YES, IT CAN!

Tax Filed!

That's what we did for our Date...

Ok... I was up early and out early... and still could not beat the heat. I did run 9K... but boy, was it hot! I was home and took a shower and then went out to run errands: buy fruit and veggies and pay a bill.

I was home and Alan was back and soon we took off for the tax office. We had to wait... maybe about 30 minutes. And the whole thing was finished in another 30 minutes. We are getting a small refund!

We then went and bought CoCo and ate lunch before heading to Costco for drinks and Bavarian Sausages! And then home... I put the sausages in the air fryer and when that was done, I took a short nap. 

We had dinner engagement at 6:30 and we made it right on time. 

The fellowship and the food were both spectacular! And we took home all the leftovers. 

I set the alarm so I was able to pray at 8:45!

We didn't get back until 11pm and Isaiah enjoyed all the guava!

As for our complex, I have put in a formal complaint for our cleaning personnel. They are in the process of making some much needed changes!

I had lots of items to post to give away.

Tomorrow... I have tutoring at 11am and then Marriage Builders at 6pm.

The weekend looks to be a busy one!

I'm going to bed as soon as I hit publish because I will need to be up early again tomorrow!

Perfect -- PR Day...

I know... I just came back from a vacation... why would I need a PR Day? Well... I did... 

I got up early and did go for a run... but I could not even run for an hour... the sun was up. And it was hot... and to me, extremely hot because I just returned from Germany and Switzerland! I didn't run an hour. 

Alan and Isaiah went to work... and I received news of the passing of a colleague. She was not even 50 years old... invasive cancer... aggressive cancer!

I spent the morning reading and resting...

At 3pm, I went down to my scooter... and a neighbor who is moving put a lot of things by my scooter, which I posted to give away!

I went to run a few errands and had my massage. Then I went to tutor... On the way home, I stopped to pick up root beer and soy bean milk... and was home in time for prayer time at 8:45.

Family Time started at 9:30 and I was in bed by 11:30.

It's HOT! Yes, I'm Back...

Ahhhh... to be back in Germany or Switzerland... to have weather that's in the 7-17 range...

I was on the plane early this morning and it landed in Beijing at 5:25. Going through the transit 'customs' was terrible... I finally was able to settle down and have my quiet time... 

The plane started boarding... but I wasn't in a hurry...

It took off promptly at 8:25 and I was back in Taiwan by 11:40. Alan surprised me and picked me up at the Taoyuan International Airport. That made coming back a lot faster. I was going to take the bus and the MRT... 

He didn't have lunch so we went and bought him a lunch box at one of his favorite places. 

We got home and he ate while I unpacked!

My plants were in need of watering and the house needed tidying up... 

By 5pm, I was finished... YEAH!

I laid down and fell asleep until 6:33... 

I debated... run? walk? What?

I wanted to get some soy bean milk... but it was still 27 outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The high in Switzerland never went above 17... That crisp air... that fresh crisp air... that fresh crisp mountain air... 

I decided to have a salad for dinner... AHHHHH... the cold cuts and cheese and bread... the yogurts... the milk that tastes like fresh cream... maybe I'll open a can of evaporated milk for my coffee... 

Isaiah went to hang out with Fenny... There was plenty of food in the freezer... 

I went over what was going to happen for this coming week... tutoring, Bible study... 

I'm back...
