Delightful Saturday!

Well... I was up but not early enough, since I thought I'd give myself time to sleep in... I didn't have to rush back... but that was not wise as it's not the rushing back... it's the blaring sun... I completed my 8km... disastrous... torturous... but it is done. 50KM for the week...

I proceeded to clean out my closet... after a quick shower. I try to put away the fall/winter clothes but I had not done it since I had need of those clothes for the trip to Germany. So, I spent two hours packing up the sweatshirts and jackets and pants... and I love how the closet looks now. I also redid the bottom area where I had started to use as storage... for travel items. I was finished at around 10am... and started to get ready for tutoring!

11am to 12noon... the hour flew by... delightful... 

I was home by 12:30 and had a McMuffin that Alan left behind... It was exactly the brunch that I wanted... with mustard... YUMMY!

Isaiah was up and he planned to leave at 1:20... 

I sat and read... I can read Jane Eyre over and over again... I realized that I used to know those more difficult vocabulary words... words that I see on the SAT... and I need to refresh my memory... I love it... 

4pm can too quickly... 

Should I do a load of laundry?

Should I go and update my bankbooks and run errands?

The clouds had gathered and the weather had turned drizzling... I wanted to go out as two books had arrived at the library... Yes, I am getting lots of books to read via the local library... books in English... So, when the rain halted... I dashed to the library... another evening of reading. And I did get a load of laundry done... My dinner... a wonderful salad!

Family Time at 9pm!

In the News...

I was up and ran my 8km... 

You might be puzzled by the title... that's because my MOE Days are catch up on news days... 

Yes, I had another great MOE Day... 

I brought two books to read... my lap top computer... and snacks... ha, ha, ha... I didn't move from my desk all morning... 

For lunch, I brought the ground beef dumplings concoction... and rested...

5pm came quickly and I decided to go and see a new Japanese supermarket that opened up at Miramar. (I forgot to mention yesterday that our Soda Stream went bizerko... but Annie, don't worry... you gave us a spare! I am mentioning this here because I usually get the replacement cartridges at Miramar!)

The supermarket was nice... and expensive... high end stuff... 

But it was fun to cruise around!

I got home and made myself a salad... I bought some great lettuce from the Lopia Japanese Market!

The evening passed so quickly... 

Prayer at 8:45 and the day was done...

Tutoring at 11am tomorrow morning!

Yes -- PR Day!

I was up and completed my 8km... 

And Isaiah took off and I had the house to myself.

First, I made a ground beef dumpling dish... Well... I put all the ingredients in the rice cooker and hit -- cook!

I then sat and read... and napped... 

The morning flew by!

At 2:30, the 'alarm' sounded: no going out for the military drill that had started! REALLY!!!!

The drill finished at 3pm.

The dumpling dish was finished and it was delicious... WOW... 

At 5:30, I headed out to the library to return books and then tutoring at 6pm -- two hours... When that was finished, I stopped at our local mini supermarket to buy soy bean milk... and headed home!

I decided to use the time to pack up the suitcases that Isaiah will bring to the States... WOW! Now, all Isaiah needs to do is to put together his stuff in the carry on... He's not leaving for another two weeks... but hey... I wanted to know if I have any more room or weight to put more stuff in those two suitcases! I think I do... 

Prayer time at 8:45... 

Tomorrow... MOE Day!

Much Needed Time...

I was up early and finished my 8KM.

After Isaiah left, I called Ms. Hsieh and she had time at 11:30.

I went down to do the recycling and spent the rest of the morning reading... I am going to plan a week when both Alan and Isaiah are gone and limit tutoring to after 6pm and just stay home all day and read, read, read... 

Before leaving at 11:00, I got the iRobot going. I dropped off things at the old gentleman 'thrift' stall! Then I went and had a 2-hour massage... my back and legs felt so much better.

I had tutoring at 2pm and another student at 3:40 and I was home by 5:30. YIPPY!

I was really hungry, so I made myself a huge salad. I'm still working on clearing the fridge. I wonder if I can avoid going to Costco for the entire time that Alan is away! Isaiah will be leaving on August 26th... so... We shall see... I might have to buy meat, but I'm working on clearing the freezer... and I'm doing quite well... 

I blogged for HOP and then Prayer time at 8:45 and Bible study at 9pm.

When that was finished, I went and read in bed...

Splendid Tuesday

I was up early as I had slept early the night before... I had quite a long Monday... 

I went and did my usual 8KM run... Will I be running more? I hope so... once the summer heat turns into Autumn breeze... 

Isaiah took off and I proceeded to undo all the fans blades to wash everything. As I finished, I headed out to my Bible study and let everything dry. I was early to the study and set everything up! YEAH...

There were only four of us... One gal was sick at home and she wanted to join online. I started the video call and she didn't answer. So... when she called back, I don't know why I didn't hear it.

When we finished, one of the gals taught me how to use this special app to do powerpoint... wow... that saves so much time and it even helps to translate things. It isn't perfect, but it gave a base which I will add to...

I was going to run errands, but the rain started... so I headed home.

It was so nice to be home. 

I put all the fans together and did the study for next time and enjoyed the afternoon watching Netflix... 

No nap... 

I then got started with my talk and have almost finished it all... 

For dinner I had a huge salad... yummy. I still have plenty of food to finish up!

I gave two suitcases away and also some more clothes... and a table cloth. Tomorrow, I will donate more stuff to that old gentleman when I go to tutor at 1:30. That's tomorrow.

Prayer time at 8:45... blogged... and headed off to bed early... 

I had to get up early every morning for these next several weeks as there is no time when it is not hot!

Monday, Monday...

I was up early and did my usual 8KM.

Isaiah took off and I took off soon afterwards as I had a breakfast prayer and share time... 

I had to cut that time short as I had tutoring at 1:30... I made it there not only on time, but 10 minutes early... and I ended 15 minutes late.

I got home at around 3:35 and it was so nice to be HOME...

I got a message and one of my students had to cancel... for Wednesday! I'm so thrilled as Wednesday was going to be a massively busy day... so to have that 90 minutes tutoring session cancelled was an answer to prayer!

I put things away... and took down the clothes... and blogged... 

I was absolutely too full so I skipped dinner...

Prayer time at 8:45... And I baked these hot dog cheese muffins for our Bible study tomorrow morning.

What A Sunday!

I was up but not too early as it was Sunday... and wow... the weather was so 'perfect'... my kind of perfect: raining, around 20, windy and cloudy. Typhoon Dolphin brought the rain and the nicer temperature... but no one wanted to be out... I did... but... but No Run on Sunday!

I took the time to read... and at 10:30, Isaiah and I headed out to church. 

I set up while we waited for others to join. We had four people.

We ordered lunch... UBER DELIVERY... and sat and chatted. I stayed at church while Isaiah and Fenny went back home. They were late to church.

I was the MC... ha, ha, ha... and Isaiah translated for the speaker.

There were many people who needed counseling, so I didn't get home until 8:30.

Prayer time at 9:30... and I blogged, cleaned up, and went to bed fairly early. The week has started.
