Tutoring Cancelled... Go Go Go Stopped...

I was up early and knew it was going to be another Go Go Go Day. But after my QT, I checked my Line messages and one of my tutoring cancelled. Because she cancelled, I cancelled the other person as well. Thus, I had time to get things done without feeling like the whole day rushed by in a blur!

I ran my 10K and got to chat with Alden as he figured out how to get Mom Bea back into blogging!

Alan and I then headed out... first to TIC to drop off stuffed animals and winter sweaters for their May and October Missions Trips: Boracay and Kathmandu!

We then went to my friend's house to check her mail. Next, it was back over to Neihu to drop off things at church and I cleaned up the area as I wasn't the last one to leave on Sunday! And we won't be having church on the 15th as it's Lunar New Year! Then we went to the 'old man' who sells things... I always give him some nice stuff to sell... He is really nice. I am sharing with him about Jesus!

Finally, we were home and it was already 4pm. Alan went to get his scooter tuned up and to buy more Coco. When he returned, I went to get my scooter tuned up and to go to Miramar to attempt to sell things. You drop things off for them to assess. And if you are ok with their offer, then they give you cash! I also had a meeting with a gal about getting her connected to many possibilities around Taiwan to sell Eden Jewelry. Eden is a non-profit organization involved in rescuing gals from sex trafficking!

I had to be home by 8:45 for our Prayer Time!

The day was finished...

The Go Go Go Has Not Stopped!

I was up early and had the day planned... 

Ran 10K!

Loaded up the car!

Headed to Isaiah's new place and get a few things done! I even went and walked around, donating books at the library right next to his place. The back balcony is cleaned and set up. The bathroom corner racks put up as well as one shower curtain. The other one was ordered and has not arrived. The kitchen sink is fixed and dishes and other items are neatly organized! Alan had bought Coco and a lunch box and enjoyed his lunch.

We left at 3:15 and got home at 4pm. I proceeded to put things away and then took a nap. I was going to go and sell some items to the second hand store, but I was way too tired. I didn't do all that I had planned!

I sat and blogged and checked my emails and ate my delicious salad.

I was feeling quite tired... I hope tomorrow won't be so go, go, go...

Another Go Go Go Day!

If you didn't watch it... this is a spoiler alert!

The Seahawks WON...

I was up early and when I finished, Alan was already seated in front of the TV... getting Isaiah up at the same time... ha, ha, ha...

I put the chicken in the crock pot and went out for my run. It was so nice!

Then after a quick shower, I was out the door... and I was already late for my prayer time at 11am. I arrived at 11:15. And from there, the whole day was late... 15 minutes. I arrived at my tutoring at 2:15. I didn't finish until 3:45... 

I was home by 4:05 and started to get everything sorted. I did not bring up any more bags... I was just too exhausted. 

The boxes are packed. And things are sorted... Isaiah helped me to seal the boxes as I attempted to put more stuff in once he pressed down! YIPPY! He moved the boxes down and it will cost 120US$ to ship to the Philippines. 

I had the evening free, so I did a load of laundry. The laundry basket was overflowing... And I made congee for my dinner. It was perfect! Just what I wanted!

GO GO GO SUNDAY

I was up early and the weather was spectacular! 

I went over to my neighbor's place and the car got packed with six trash bags of winter clothes.

I didn't have time to go through the stuff... as I had the Young Adults at 11am. I like to get there early... and that gave me time to put the books in the revolving bookcase and the puzzles in the game area for the kids at Sunday School and the dishes nicely put away as I got a stacking shelf for the cabinet. 

We had four people total and the time was very nice.

I stayed at church and set up the Love Cafe before going to tutor from 1:30 - 2:30... we went until 2:45!

Church service is so nice now... yes, we don't have a large group, but we are beginning to feel like a family again. That strange awkward feeling is beginning to dissipate. People stay around after the service to talk. 

When I got home, the recycling was an absolute mess! Honestly, it made me angry because it showed that many people in our complex has no consideration for the cleaning personnel... no public morality! They just threw things everywhere! The night security guard came and we worked for about 30 minutes to get things 'cleaned up and sorted'!

I came home and had things to put away before going down to get three bags of clothes to sort. Two boxes are going to the Philippines on Tuesday, so I wanted to make sure that they are packed to the max! And those three bags had summer items... 

This is the 'final' week before the Lunar New Year Holiday... people are all 'rushing around', trying to get things purchased or done. And of course, people are cleaning... hence, the recycling was piled high... and people are leaving stuff at my doorsteps!

The 7th of the Month Reflection Time

I was up but felt distracted. Maybe because I didn't get up as early as I had hoped... whatever the reason, the time felt rushed...

Alan and Isaiah went to play tennis and since it was 'Reflection Day', I didn't set any agenda for the day. Alan was kind enough to take things over to Isaiah's place after they finished playing three sets of tennis. I had everything on the dining room table. They also planned to go to the old house to finish up the master bedroom and the living room ceiling... with both of them working, it was much faster. They also brought another ladder from our complex. I had drawn a simple illustration as to how the corner room should be set up. We gave away the closet, so it will be a lot more spacious. We had initially planned to head out to Taoyuan, thinking Isaiah needed another pair of tennis shoes. But we had bought him a pair the last time we were there... so we scratched that plan, especially since they didn't start the painting until 3:30... the earliest they thought they'd be finished would be at 6:30, but it was not to be... they didn't finish until way past 8pm.

I went for my run and the temperature was starting to drop. It was 15 with a real feel of 9. 

I had things set out down in the lobby for people to pick up... and the neighbor called: he had at least 6 more trash bags of coats and sweaters to give away. I didn't want to go today. He also put things near my scooter parking place and I sorted and gifted those things away. I gave the guard 6 trash bags and my neighbor will fill them up and put them on the first floor. 

The box to the Philippines is almost packed... but I called and ordered another one. That box will be delivered on Monday and both boxes will be picked up by Tuesday. YEAH!

Wild & Exhausting Friday!

I was up early... and went for my run after everyone took off... And it was still somewhat cool... 

Alan and I planned to be back so that we can head out for lunch... and we had a lot on our plate.

First, he stopped at Coco for his usual drinks and I went to the restaurant to order the food. Then I went and walked around as I needed to pay for Abby's hair coupon and get some eggs at the local market. We sat and had a nice lunch... leaving the restaurant after 2pm!

Then it was heading back home to pick up the car and go to drop off things for Judy to bring back to the States. I also dropped off a nice big ceramic cooking ware to another friend who lives nearby. We went to Costco and it was already 3pm and the crowd had already gathered. We tried to get in and out within 30 minutes... Alan bought too many items that were not on the list... we didn't get out for 45 minutes. We thought about stopping at the old house to pick up some tools... but decided to head to another friend's house to drop off things... and then we went to Margaret's Second Hand Store and loaded up about six trash bags of stuff to be packed and shipped to the Philippines. Our car was maxed out. 

When we got home, I got the trolley and we made at least five trips up and down the elevator. 

We were hungry but we had to put away the groceries and then we had dinner! I started to pack the box... and that took about an hour... 

Prayer time at 8:45 and study at 9:15... I was so ready for bed by 10:30.

Much Needed PR Day

I was up and just so happy that it was my PR Day!

Alan brought up another box of stuff dropped off from our neighbors... I sorted through that and then settled down on the sofa and read. Yes, Isaiah and Alan already took off... 

I wasn't in a hurry to go run... which was a bit of a mistake as the temperature increased... I ran a slow 10K. But I was glad that I ran...

After a quick shower, I was back on the sofa... YIPPY!

For dinner I had a salad... and Alan and I watched another episode of House.

Prayer Altar was from 8:45 to 9pm and we had Family Time at 9pm... 

What a fabulously relaxing day!
