A Slower Wednesday!

I was up and it was so good to not have a packed day like what we did yesterday... 

I went down to help the recycling and they could NOT take everything! In fact, they weren't happy with our sorting... we didn't do a thorough enough job!?!?!?!

I went for a run and the weather was perfect: cloudy and chilly!

After a quick shower, I rested. 

Alan had gone to see the doctor. His leg is healing... slowly!

I made chicken and rice... and it turned out so good.

At 5pm, I headed out and there were more things to give away. The neighbor came up to me and said that he is renovating his apartment... he has a lot of nice stuff to give away! I did make it to get the battery replaced and another watch set! These were watched that I found in the recycling! They are super nice watches!

Tutoring went well... and I was home by 7:30. Prayer time with a gal... then at 8:45, it was prayer time with church friends!

Alan and I had dinner at 9pm and the chicken and rice turned out beautifully!

I sorted through things and posted things and it was already 11pm! Sleep did not happen until after 12midnight... what started as a slower Wednesday became much busier than I had hoped or planned!

Tragedy! Read On!

I was up early and enjoyed the time... reading and reflecting...

I then packed Isaiah's lunch and cleaned out my pens and pencils. I hate picking up a pen that is out of ink! I tossed about 20!

Then, it was time to go for a run and there were still clouds in the skies.

I got back at the same time as Alan and I rushed in to take a shower. When I finished, it was Alan's turn. But without looking, I sat on the bed to get dressed and heard a crack! TRAGEDY! I sat on my own glasses and the frame broke! NOOOOOO...

I had to put on contacts and off we went!

We had loaded up the car and headed to Isaiah's 'place' and I found a place... the same as the one I go to in Neihu. I looked at a bunch of frames... 1380... 2680... I asked for a cheaper one... 600! The last one... OK... the colors are quite bizarre... but hey... who cares? They are comfortable and light and my lenses fit! We left to go to get Coco and lunch while they got the glasses ready!

I set the stuff we brought and the place is ready for the guest who is coming on March 13th. She can use the Brita Water Filters... so no rush for the water filtration system to be changed!

We then ventured to Danhsui over a new route... and got there quite smoothly! Oh... we picked up my glasses... Yes, they are weird! 

In Danhsui, the YWAM group is down in Kaohsiung, but they have a lot of stuff in there... I dropped off the items and we headed back. They will be back on Friday... I wonder how much time they will have to clean...???

We were home before 5pm and... people left some nice stuff on Alan's scooter for me! I will post and give away! I also found three NICE watches in the recycling! WOW!

One guy came and picked up one bunch already... another lady is set to come this evening as well.

And people are interested in my friend's apartment next door! YEAH... I set them up to come on Thursday to see the place!

I had tutoring at 7pm and then prayer time at 8:45!

The day flew by!

A Balanced Monday!

I was up early and it felt good that I only had tutoring at 2pm plus prayer time at 4pm, going over to a friend's house at 5:30, Prayer Time at 8:45 and Family Time at 9pm.

So... I went for a run after Alan and Isaiah left! And it was hot!

I had things to give away... of course... and I took a morning Power Nap, ate lunch and headed out. 

I first stopped at the old house and dropped off a few things to get that completed and went to tutor. The hour flew by. I went over time and arrived home just in time to tutor. I was going to stop and get some coffee packets, but didn't!

After I finished prayer time, I walked over to my friend's apartment. I'm helping them find renters. 

When I got back, Alan was already home and having dinner!

This evening we had Family Time... YEAH!

A Full Sunday!

Yes, up early... and walked down for soy bean milk and bread, trying to get my steps in.

I came back and rested and then headed out to church. The Young Adults' Fellowship... 

I then walked over to our old house and put the dish towels that I had washed. I rested there and then biked back to church for tutoring.

The hour went by fast... 

I was the speaker this afternoon...

We had pizza for Love Feast... and lots of snacks! It was great to gather together as a church family!

I helped with clean up and came back home and the recycling area was piled so high... I had checked in the morning at 10:30... and now... just 10 hours later... you cannot imagine how high things got. It took me almost 45 minutes to finish up.

I was home and it took another hour to get things put away... and I brought up more stuff to give away!

After prayer time, I was ready for bed... 

I was exhausted!

Meeting Cancelled... Time to Catch Up!

I was up early... and had thought that I had to go for a run and rush... but I checked my message and the gal that I was to meet up with had to cancel because there are sick people in her household... 

That made the day a lot more 'productive' as I had a list of things that I had wanted to get done.

1. Move the manger scene away! After Chinese New Year, that's when I usually put the manger scene from off the top of the piano back to the shelf where it sits year-round. 

2. Pack up the suitcase of things for Annie. The pile was getting higher and higher.

3. Clean up the area by our shoe cabinet. There were things from the neighbors, gathering there!

4. Sort through the small appliances and post things to give away.

5. Organize the items that I plan to sell and things that are going to Isaiah's place.

6. Go over to our old house to steam mop the floor (Alan finished and we wanted to clean the back balcony and the floor!) 

7. Try a new recipe!

And that's what I did... I completed the list. And I went for a run... it was so hot!

Yes, Alan did finish painting the house! And he did a fantastic job!

Isaiah came home tonight... So nice to have him home... back on the living room sofa!

Back in Taipei!

I was up early and had quite a few things that I wanted to get done.

People had left things by my scooter, which I brought back, washed and posted. I also wanted to steam mop the floor... Alan did go over to paint the old house after playing tennis... The whole house looks great!

I had people come to pick up things... including two suitcases and toys! YEAH!

I went for my run and after a shower, I was out to Costco! There were plenty of people... but I just went in to pick up the items on my list and came back home to cook! 

I also went to pick up a bottle of perfume from someone on Buy Nothing Taipei.

The day flew by extremely fast! Overall, I thought it was a fulfilling 'free' day!

A Short Post... But A Long Day!

I was up... and did one more run in Tainan!

Alan and Isaiah were up and Alan was working on packing up... We decided just to eat in the hostel our leftovers and check out at 11am. I took a shower and tidied up the place and ate our breakfast!

At 10:55, we were out and loaded up our stuff to drop off at the scooter place while we rode around some more. 

And ride we did... 

At the AnPing Old Street, we bought drinks and more snacks... and yes, it was crowded! There are so many temples in Tainan... the smell of the incense gave me quite a headache!

We were back at the scooter place at 3:10 and Isaiah took off to meet up with Fenny and her family! He was properly introduced to everyone!

We went to the mall nearby and there were these nice massage chairs. 20 minutes for 80NT$. I napped in one... 

Then it was dinner at Burger King. Alan said he had enough of night market food... I would have enjoyed more!

We walked back to the scooter place and picked up our luggage and waited for our train. 

It arrived very on time and we arrived in Nangang by 10:56 and found our scooter and was home by 11:45! We unpacked and I did a load of wash! Alan was in bed by 12:15 and I was in bed by 1:15!

We have a free day tomorrow! YIPPY! I'm not meeting up with the YWAM group as they are leaving to head down to Kaohsiung. Their train is at 10am. Alan might go over to start painting but it's almost all finished! So, we will see what we do tomorrow!
