Bible Study & Airport

I was up and the weather was cooler... In fact, I could have ran later on in the morning... But I had Bible study at 10am.

We finished Psalm 34 and our next study will be on September 15th, the day before Alan's return.

We stayed and chatted until 2pm. I went and dropped off a computer for recycling and got 3US$... ha, ha, ha...

Then it was home... Checked email... Blogged... Put things away from my Bible study and then I did the next lesson. I always do that so that I'm ready. It also gives me the time to pray for the ladies in the group.

Isaiah was home by 6:30 and we made sure he had everything.

We left by 8pm and when we went down, the car wouldn't start! The battery... Uber would have been 1500NT$. And so, I called the Toyota Dealership... and the guy who answered was the guy who usually services our car. I asked if he could bring a battery over and he came within five minutes. With a jump, the car started and we were off... The rain wasn't bad, but we didn't want to turn on the AC. And when we got there, I couldn't park as I didn't want to stop the car. So, I stayed at the departure area... with the engine running while Isaiah went to check in. The lines were long, but the police were most gracious. I wanted to make sure that his luggage was ok and it was -- 23.5! Wow... He came out and we took a couple of pictures and I took off back home! 

I got home by 10:30! The drive went well as many people were praying for me!

Then I got a message: one of my students tested positive for Covid, so that hour is cancelled for tomorrow. It was going to be such a long day, so I'm glad that I will have one free hour!

The rest of the evening went well and I waited until Isaiah messaged me and said that he was boarding...

What a day!

Productive Monday!

I was up and ran a very slow 8KM... very very slow... 

I got home and Isaiah took off... I took a quick shower and prepped for tutoring... I then had breakfast... YUMMY buns from that lady... 

Then at 11am I left to go to the library to return two books that I had finished and to pick up two more books... and get things copied... And then I was on my way to Danhsui. A friend will be staying until late November. It was a long ride... and it was sprinkling... 

I opened the windows, turned on the fans and the air freshener... and watered the plants. I left at 1:30 and arrived at my tutoring 12 minutes late... and I ended tutoring another 15 minutes late... so I didn't get home until 5:15 for prayer time!

When that was finished, I started a load of Isaiah's clothes as I didn't want his dirty clothes sitting in the hamper for more than two weeks... He told him to put everything away when he gets home as I put his stuff in the dryer instead of hanging them up.

Prayer time at 8:45 and then I made the dish for tomorrow's Bible study! 

What a productive Monday!

Pleasant Sunday!

I was up but not too early... and had a leisurely morning before going to pick up food stuff from a lady... She and her mother had too much stuff in their freezer and she wanted to clear things out... She travels a lot and her mom doesn't eat that much... And they buy nice expensive stuff... So, I came back with two huge bags of goodies... and for sure, I will not need to go to Costco while Alan is gone... I was just getting things finished off and now, my freezer is packed... YUMMY! On the way back, I went and updated our passbooks... I get about 110US$ per day at the MOE... not too bad... it's an income! Thank you, Jesus!

I got home and worked on finishing up the suitcase as you might recall that Isaiah only has one going and two coming back. The bag is packed: 24 kilos... and his carry on... 6kgs. So... I have a bit of wiggle room for just a few more items, something light!

I sat and read... and prepped for tutoring this week... The new student I went to tutor on Thursday wants me back... 

Church at 3:15... YEAH... set up Love Cafe... I was the speaker today... Part 2... 

Prayer time... 

Home... Nice evening... the week has started!

What A Fun Day!

I was up and ran my 8km... and yes, amazingly... I did run 50 this week... 

Then I was home for a shower and got my stuff for tutoring... but first, I scootered over to a gal's house who had food stuff for me to pick up... lost of great snacks... 

I got home and put down the bags of goodies and grabbed my tutoring bag and I was off... I made it right on time!

That hour went fast and I was home... 

Isaiah left at 1 to get movie tickets and went over to see Fenny. They did not join the bike ride... 

In fact, only 7 people joined... 18 had signed up... it was raining... but I love riding in the rain... like running in the rain... it's just so refreshing.

We made it to the restaurant and it was only 20NT$ for the bike rental... ha, ha, ha... 

The food was great and everyone showed up!

We had a splendid time.

I got home at around 9pm... and just chilled... 

What a wonderfully fun day!

Worked At MOE

I was up and ran my 8km... not pleasant...

After a shower, I was off to the office... and arrived 5 minutes before 9am.

Yes, I read the news and the books that I brought with me... then at 11am, work arrived! We are to proof a large document for a joint sponsored science fair that will be taking place for the month of November. So... I had to put away all the things I brought to work on and started on that... and the day flew by...

On the way home, I stopped at someone's house to pick up free food and snacks... YIPPY!

I was home by 7pm.

Prayer time at 8:45... and the weekend has started!

Two More Books Finished!

I was up and did my 8km... slower than usual... but the skies were cloudy... much more bearable!

I took a shower and proceeded to camp myself on the sofa, after I got Isaiah's clothes into his carry on... we are still working with one suitcase filled to 23kilos... and then his carry on and backpack. I will post whatever is not packed in the Buy Nothing Group to give away!

So... like the title of this post... I finished two more novels... Still Jane Eyre is my all time favorite... these newer authors don't have the knack for depth of descriptive details and character building... I realized that even though I like Jane Austen's books, she introduced so many, or rather, too many characters, and thus, I actually get lost. Bronte built on just two characters and delve into their mental and emotional state in such depth that draw me to love the book more. Anyhow... I have not come across another book quite like Jane Eyre!

I had an appointment at 3:30, but that was canceled as the gal wasn't feeling well... I was quite happy to be able to stay home... That's how I was able to finish two books!

I did have to leave at 6pm for a new student. I gave myself a longer time than what the GPS said, planning to get lost...

Prayer time at 8:45! And yes, the day was done!

Not A Very Motivated Wednesday

I was up and the clouds covered the skies... I ran my 8km!

Then after a shower, I was updating my talk and checking my ppt. I can do that without WiFi!

Isaiah was working from home... 

I went down to get the recycling done... and that was super nice! ALL CLEANED OUT. I really am grateful as I beg them to take everything and they usually do!

I had a lunch date at 12noon, but first I went to the library to pick up some more books. I also returned the two that I had finished... 

Lunch was again a treat from a dear sister and I brought home so much leftovers that I have enough food for a week. I'm not exaggerating!

It was already 2:15 when I got home... I sat down and read... I was trying to limit myself to 30 minutes... but an hour went by.

I had to prep for tutoring as the mom wanted two hours... and I will most likely get another new student via referral. We shall see... 

I checked my emails... blogged... but didn't do much... No laundry to be taken cared of... I didn't mop or sweep the floor... ha, ha, ha... I did take a nap! 

Tutoring went well... 5:30 to 7:30 and I was home by 8pm.

Isaiah had left for a baseball game. I think he goes to see the cheerleaders.

Tomorrow is my PR Day... but I will be meeting up with a sister at 3:30 and a new student at 7pm.
