Fourth of July

I was up early and went out for a short 5KM as we had breakfast reservation at the Renaissance for Alan's birthday.

Fenny rode her scooter and we all rode our scooters... and the breakfast was fabulous... Totally worth the money... And it wasn't limited to 90 minutes. We just stayed until it was time to leave... We forgot to take pictures... I'm so bummed!

Alan, Isaiah and Fenny came home to take a nap while I went to a friend's house to pick up ingredients. She is madly trying to get the house cleaned up and they have so much stuff... She will have an open house and drop things off at the church tomorrow night... If I brought a car over, she could nave filled the entire car with things to give away. I had hoped that she had started earlier... but a month was not enough. I think she should have started in February. That's how much stuff she had to give away!

I came home and will bring things to church tomorrow.

And I too took a short nap before we started with MOVIE TIME. That was the plan... Isaiah found The Devil Wears Prada 2... and that's what we watched.

When that was over, Fenny had to take off to meet her friend in Taoyuan and she will be staying overnight there... So, she won't be at church tomorrow.

I finished packing up the box that is going to the Philippines and Alan and Isaiah worked to seal it and put it down in the lobby of our building. I have continued to give away things... Today, I put in two dresses and a jacket in that box... YEAH... And the carry on suitcases and computer bag have not yet been picked up... but hopefully next week!

I did a load of laundry and went out for another run... Alan went to the tennis courts as it was getting nicer out. That was why we planned for Movie Time. We were thinking of going to watch the movie at the theater, but none of the time fit our schedule. So, we decided to watch it at home and that actually worked out nicely.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day... 

I will share at a morning service... and Alan will be the speaker at House of Praise. We will also have our HOP Monthly Leadership Meeting as people are taking off on Monday...

MOE Started!

I was up early and did go for my run...I might hit 10>55km tomorrow... wow... I can't believe that!

I was back and after a shower, I gathered my stuff and took off for the MOE Office. I gave myself 50minutes.

The traffic was fine and I got there by 8:45!

I had the badge and the key and cleaned up a bit and put my things in the fridge. I got the computer going and set myself up, not knowing if I had any appointments or document to proof.

I'm glad I brought the book and my lap top. 

I finished reading the chapters and the ppt for Sunday.

it was a very productive day. No document to edit and no appointment.

I even had time to catch up on the news and see the standings for the FIFA World Cup. Ha, ha, ha...

At 5:17 I left and rode home, stopping to get money to pay all the bills.

I was hungry, so I fixed myself a salad and had cream of corn soup. YUMMY!

Alan and I watched the Mentalist and then prayer time at 8:45.

Not My Typical PR Day

I was up and did go out for a slow 8KM. But like life, I just focused on taking one step at a time.

I was back and able to say good bye to Isaiah.

After a shower, I had wanted to get the living room cabinet, at least one side of it, reorganized in order to give more stuff away. I knew that the paper work was not going to be easy... and sure enough, just opening up one folder took 30 minutes. So I put that away. Instead, I worked on looking through my carry ons. And I am delighted to say that I am giving away two carry ons and two computer bags! Yesterday, I gave away four rice bowls and threw away an old book that I had from my studies in Pepperdine! It was one of the thickest!

Alan came home and decided to drive out to Danhsui as we wanted to go across the new bridge. That was a great car ride. Alan bought CoCo and fried chicken and we went to the Danhsui apartment. While he ate, I water the plants and tidied up the place. We turned on the AC unit... YEAH. We then went to pick up the nice thermos Isaiah let at the Tienmu Stadium when he went to watch the WaiChuan Dragons play. 

We were home by 3:30... YEAH... I had time to put things away and take a nap. I went down to check the recycling and then went to tutor. I went long and didn't get home until 8pm and I had to check the recycling again! 

Prayer time at 8:45... I didn't miss it... 

And I watched the TV series, The Mentalist before finishing my blog and checking my emails.

Tomorrow... MOE Day, so I gathered everything I need to bring, including a book that I hope to read. Who knows what I will be doing?!?!

Wednesday = Tutoring

I was up early and I did go out... but still... it was not enjoyable. I completed my 8km. I don't know if I will hit 48 for this week!

I took a quick shower and went down to do the recycling. We have so much stuff that one truck could not take everything this time. We have people who are moving in... and the boxes are labeled in English, so I think they are moving back from being in the States... I will find out... But they had at least 30 boxes and packing papers... and the lady said that this was just part I... AIYO!

I finished with helping and came back up and it was already 10am. I ate a good breakfast and started to organized my tutoring stuff... But 10:45 came too fast and I was out the door.

The 90 minutes flew by and I was on my way home, in the blaring heat... I had lunch and rested! That felt so good.

I was out the door again at 3:10 and tutoring again went well... 

I rushed home and switched stuff and left again for my last session at 6pm. 

I was so glad to be back home at 7:25!

The dining room table was still piled with my tutoring stuff that I had not finished organizing. I was pulling out books for my different students... July will be a busy month of tutoring!

Prayer time at 8:45 and I didn't forget!

Then it was back to sorting...  I have projects that I hope to finish this week... Plus, I have my ppt to get done! The day just went by way too fast... and it's already July 1st!

It's Too Hot...

I was up but not early enough. I need to go to bed before 9pm in order to get up by 3am, IF I want to beat the heat... And even then, it might be a MAYBE!

I ran 8km and just took it slow and steady.

I got back and our new janitor really was mopping the floor.

I put more stuff with the guard for pick up and then took a shower and rested!

Alan and I had lunch together, but first I mailed a letter, donated books and got things copied off for my tutoring! WOW!

After lunch I had a two hour massage and it was not long enough... ha, ha, ha... 

Tutoring at 3:30 and we went long... I rushed over to the farewell dinner... and it was sad to see my old friend and colleague, David. He really does have dementia... 

I rode back home and started packing the box and almost forgot completely to log in for prayer time at 8:45!

The box is packed and I have still more stuff... next shipment!

Isaiah went to a baseball game.

Alan had tutored and came home by 7:30.

I wanted to go to bed early... but no can do...

Too Hot

I was up early and it was not early enough... 

I went out too late for my run, so I only had time to run 6km. Plus, it was just too hot... no fun to run in that kind of heat!

A couple came over at 10:45 and hung out until 1:30! They wanted to talk as the husband will be assigned to work in Vietnam and he will be leaving tomorrow!

I then started cooking and rested before having to go to tutor... 

The time flew by and I came back home, only to exchange my bags. I had Bible study at 7PM. 

I made it right on time.

I didn't make it to prayer time at 8:45 as we were still in discussion...

I got home at 10 and yes, I had checked the recycling over the course of the day. We did get a new janitor. I have yet to meet this person.

Someone is moving into our complex, so there were lots of moving boxes... 

I got home, blogged and put away things... 

I was so glad for bedtime...

A Fast Sunday

I was up and even though I didn't go running, the morning went by so quickly!

I left at 11:45 to meet up with the parents of one of my students... they wanted to take Alan and I out for lunch. I ate so much... and it was so good. DuBu Tofu House... It's right at the Miramar Mall and I can't believe we've never tried it. All you can eat potato salad and kimchi!

I rushed over to church as tutoring started at 2pm. That went well... and then I went down stairs to help set up Love Cafe.

We had several friends who came to church and I translated... 

After the service, people hung out to talk and I prayed with a couple... 

The message was great: Ezra 9:5-9! Revival & Repentance!

I got home at 8pm and worked on the recycling area... wow... what a mess!

After blogging and then praying with another sister, I took a shower and just relaxed. The week has started!
