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...

No Rain=Hot, Hot, Hot

I was up early and it was nice as I knew I had certain things to get done...

It was a very productive morning... and I made a cake in the rice cooker.

A thunderstorm started and I waited to leave the house... and God was good... It wasn't too bad when I left!

Someone set up the Love Cafe and I had to translate for the message and it was a great message!

The service was fantastic! I think next year each elder should share 8 times!!!!! 

I was home and the recycling was a mess... after getting that done, there was an entire box of new stuff to give away. I posted it on Buy Nothing and someone came to pick it up... YEAH!

Alan, Isaiah and I also finished packing up the box! Wow... what a labor of love!

I prayed with a sister at 9:30 and the day was done...

Tomorrow... rain is forecast... YIPPY!

Washer Picked Up, Box Packed... Time to Rest!

I was up early... but didn't go out for my run until 9am. And it was still so pleasant... And for the next 11 days, there is forecast for rain!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Jesus!

I took a shower and called the appliance store... and talked to the owner about what is to be done for our old house... Window style AC unit... about 1000US$... Panasonic... 

I then put the compact washer downstairs and headed off to tutor! I always check the recycling before I go... 

The hour flew by... and we went longer... and I stopped at the supermarket to pick up a few things. 

Alan and Isaiah were up and eating lunch!

I joined them... it was nice to sit and chat...

At 2pm, the lady came to pick up the washer... and I finished packing the box that's going to be picked up on Monday for the Philippines! YIPPY!

Yes, I have continued to give or toss one thing a day... This is so great... I wonder why I didn't start sooner!

Isaiah took off to see Fenny and Alan and I had a nice afternoon and evening!

We had no appointments or events! We decided to go to PXMart to look for a remote and a hose... there were so many people... we didn't find what we wanted, but we bought lots of food goodies... so, when we got home, we had a nice dinner together.

God Worked!

It's raining... and will be raining for the next 11 days! YIPPY!

I was up early but I didn't go out for my run until about 8:45!

I ran my usual 8KM... slowly and carefully as I didn't want to slip!

After a shower, Alan and I took off to see a second hand stove that was for sale. And it was perfect... exactly what I had been praying for! And the price: 800US$! We bought it. And they delivered it this afternoon!

And right next to the store was a new steak place... so Alan and I had lunch there... they had a buffet bar for soup, bread, drinks and dessert! It was about 10US$ per person! 

We scootered home and Alan headed out to the old house after I went and got the money to pay for the stove. I went to tutor... and the two hours went by fairly quickly. 

I then scootered to this ramen place and a friend, Alan, Isaiah and Fenny all met up there... I treated everyone! It's a new kind of ramen shop where it's all self served and opens 24hours! Very interesting concept. And that was also about 10US$ per person!

Alan and I missed the prayer time at 8:45. We got home at 9:30.

The rain is still coming down hard!

A REST-FILLED PR DAY!

I was up early but again very unmotivated to go out for a run as I could tell that it was HOT!

I was back... completing 8KM, I took a shower and Alan and Isaiah left for work.

I had another cup of coffee and my breakfast and brought out two books to read.

That was interspersed with a chore and a nap...

At 12, I made myself a salad and then went down to pack more things into the box. It's almost finished! I also did another load of laundry!

At 3pm, I left to run errands and the rain started... the wait at the bank was long, but I paid the overdue land/property tax. It was in the mailbox at our old house... But the Lord is good... I didn't have to pay any penalty on it!

I blogged for House of Praise and then reorganized a corner in Abby's room as someone is coming on Saturday to pick up the mini washing machine that I had... YEAH!

I continue on my goal: give or toss something each day... It's going well...So far, you can't see a big difference, but I can see the 'results' a year from now!

I had tutoring at 5:30... and the downpour continued as I scootered over to church! I had to hide my bag of teaching materials! In fact, it looks like rain for this week and the next! The temperature didn't drop... just the rain...

Alan and Isaiah went to play basketball and we were all home... but no family time as Abby is on her way to Rio for an outreach event! We will have to make it next week!

I had prayer time at 8:45... and then... I made instant noodles for dinner! YUMMY!

Yet Another Long Day!

I was up early...And ran my 8km... and you guessed it: NOT PLEASANT!

I was back and after a shower, brought more stuff down to pack. The car is now emptied!

I then went and helped with the recycling... EVERYTHING was taken... amazing!

And I have continued with my give away one goal... I posted things and they were picked up by this afternoon!

I had tutoring at 11am and he requested 90 minutes... so after we finished, I headed to the old house. Alan was already there and we started moving the furniture. We have friends who are going to stay there... We also want to change the AC units and buy a new stove... I think we're looking at spending about 5,000US$ for everything.

I had to rush off at 3pm as I had tutoring at 3:40! That went well... and I was back at home by 5:35. I ate a quick hot dog and went off to tutor at 5:50! That house went well, too... 

I was tired... but the day had not ended.

Online study at 8pm and I jumped off for prayer time at 8:45.

The rest of the evening flew by... I did a load of laundry, looked for AC units and a stove for our old house, and cleaned up the house a bit... With this summer heat, we're getting more tiny cockroaches...

TOMORROW... PR DAY... YEAH! I do have to finish packing the box and tutor... oh... and pay a few bills... but really... I'm going to take the day to rest!
