Fun Day Out

I was up early but did not go out until after 7:30... It wasn't too bad... 

Alan and I had planned an outing... So, we left at 10:30 and picked up friends and headed over to Ilan. I had found a nice public spa at a hotel. You have to pay an entrance fee, but you can stay the whole day. And that's what we did... we bought food and drinks and just enjoyed the day there. We didn't head back until 6:30...

After getting back, I had to drop off things at my students' house and then get gas. I needed to get my scooter tuned up, but I didn't have time.

Prayer time at 8:45... blogged and the day was finished.

I didn't want to go to bed too late as I have my full MOE day tomorrow!

My PR Day!

I was up early and did my laborious run... I never feel like doing it now with this summer blaring heat... I just drag my legs out... but once I do go out, I'm always glad I did... even though I'm drenched in sweat upon my return... and I dunk at least two cans of sports drink to hydrate myself!

We were going to go out for a fun day but with the computer still being set up and the living room looking like a tornado blew through, we decided to 'switch'. Today became my PR Day and we will go out tomorrow.

I took out ground beef and made a delicious lunch/dinner dish and sat and read... And I am now completely convinced that I ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A DOUBT DO NOT ENJOY READING A NOVEL VIA THE COMPUTER... When I want to go back to a certain dialogue, I can't stand strolling back and trying to find it... tedious... and I can't put the book away and come back to it... I like picking up a real book... I like skimming... and skipping and going forward and backward... 

But it was a nice morning... 

Then I went out at 3pm to pick up cheese packets and drop off a book for a friend. I also went to buy pop... and soy bean milk!

Yes, I did eat lunch... the dish I made. It was so good... with added sour cream and cheese!

I had tutoring at 6pm and Alan finished the set up by 5pm! YEAH!

Prayer time at 8:45... 

And the day was done! SPLENDID!

A Busy and Not So Busy Day

I was up and did my run... ending it by picking up my scooter. Alan dropped off the helmet and the keys and I rode it back home. I still ran 8KM.

I was home and Isaiah had taken off already... we passed each other right near our house.

I took a shower and sat and read... DELIGHTFUL!

Then it was time to get started with prep... and I left at 12:30 to run errands: donating books, paying bills... and then met up with a gal at 1:30 at our church. We talked until 5pm. I had to rush back and pick up my bag for tutoring.

I made it and the session went from 5:30 to 7pm. I ended a bit late and was glad to be home...

The house was a mess as he is trying to switch the desk top... so things were pulled out of the study and placed everywhere. I think it's going to be like this for a few days... Oh well...

We had prayer time at 8:45 and then, I used the rest of the evening for prep...

Money Spending Monday

I was up and did run 8km even though I left late... So... God is merciful...

I was home and after a shower, I searched for a recipe to make rice cake. And I must say, it turned out really really good!

I was out the door by 10am to meet up with a friend and she had a wonderful breakfast/brunch ready. We hung out and chatted until 1:11 and we had to rush off as I was to meet Alan. I was late... 

We went to buy a desk top computer! 28,400 (About 900US$).

We came back home and had an early dinner and watched the Jane Eyre BBC 2006 TV show before we went to take a nap.

And we were out of the house by 7:35 to head to church for prayer time.

The hour flew by and we hung out to chat before heading back home by 10:15.

I remembered to wish my brother Eddie Happy Birthday... took the time to blog... and then went to bed! It was not as early as I had hoped...

Double Duty Sunday

I was up and glad to have my time with God... Always the highlight of my day!

Then I got ready for my morning service... and left at 10am, first checking the recycling. And a guy came to pick up a suitcase that I got for him. He is traveling back to Africa!

I arrived early and it was just nice to sit and listen as the worship team was practicing. At the start of the service, there were only like 5 people, but as I stepped up to share, there were about 25 people... A newcomer was sitting behind me and I felt led to pray with her after the service. And then I stayed to chat with another sister... 

I didn't get home until almost 2pm. After putting things away and packing things to bring, I ate lunch and laid down for 15 minutes before it was time to head out again.

Again, at the beginning of the service there were about eight people, but by the end of the service we had about 27 people... 

I spoke at both services... and the day just flew by. I had to minister after the evening service as well... a couple needed help. 

I finally got home at 8:30... Alan was already in bed... 

The week looks so much better...

Another Busy Day!

I was up and went out late... so it was quite hot... but I finished the week with 53KM! WOW!

After a shower, I started cooking for our gathering... I had planned a menu... for 20 people... 

I had tutoring at 11am and that went long.

When I came back, I spent the rest of the afternoon finishing up the cooking... Mashed potatoes, crock pot chicken, salad, dip, dessert...

We left at 5:10 and set up the church.

We didn't have 20 people... but it was a wonderful evening.

We cleaned up and came home and I spent more time cleaning up and putting things away.

Sleep felt so good...

MOE Day!

I was up early and went out for my 8KM. 

I was home and after a shower, I got all my stuff together... I looked like a bag lady... and took off for work! 

The ride was actually quite nice. I must remember to leave at 8:15 every Friday. 

I was at work by 8:45 and set up my table... NICE!

Nothing to edit... and no students... so I worked on the stuff I had brought. I even had time to read a couple of books and of course, catch up on the news.

At 5:05 I left and stopped to pay for a bill... and then went to tutor at 6pm. At the store that I stopped to pay for a bill, I took a few minutes to look at their splendid foreign goodies... That's the great thing about coming down to this part of town for work... there are stores nearby to shop at... 

Tutoring went well... and Alan had gone to Costco... so I asked him to buy Romaine Lettuce... PRICEY... but hey... 

Prayer time at 8:45 and the day had come to an end...
