Reading Wednesday!

Yes, it's true... I was up and did not go out for my 6km until 3:33...

I went and got the box and packed it up to be picked up on Friday. It will be shipped to the Philippines. I had too much stuff, so I posted what was left on Buy Nothing. People will be coming to pick up this week!

Then... You guessed it... I was on the sofa and reading... And yes, I finished another book and reviewed for my study tonight from Revelation...

After lunch, I did take a nap... and no one dropped by... yeah!

Now you might have noticed that I didn't write about helping with the recycling pick up... because they now have decided to PAY for that service to be done... we shall see... 

As I mentioned earlier, I went to run in the afternoon... 6KM, less than an hour and came home to shower and do a load of laundry.

Alan and Isaiah are in New York... And Alan sent pictures, so it looks like they are having a wonderful time. They will go to the courts tomorrow... I'm not sure what stage the games will be... but they should be able to catch quite a few matches.

I had tutoring at 6pm... And the hour flew by.

I was home by 7:20 and did a load of laundry. A very small load... Why not???

Then prayer time at 8:45 and I blogged and checked emails... and ... you guessed it -- READ, READ, READ!

Oh... I do want to say that for today, I had scheduled to watch the 'movie', Shadowlands... It was based on C.S. Lewis' book, A Grief Observed. It was so good... sad... but so amazing... Like the book, Through the Eyes of the Lion by Levi Lusko, everything on this side of the Jordan pales in comparison to HEAVEN. We live in Shadowlands and Satan wants to think that life is so great here... but... we will miss out on the best if we believe him. I have never read A Grief Observed, so I went online and found it at our Public Library and hopefully, I will get that book soon... 

Tomorrow, I do plan to go to the library as I have books to return... yes, I've finished most of what I had borrowed... I do want to renew a couple of the books that I've so enjoyed. I want to re-read them!

Anyhow, the day flew by...

Reading Tuesday

I was up... and of course, I am not getting up early enough because I'm not going to be early enough... I read last night until 1am... 

I went and ran 6km... I just wanted to home to read...

I had my breakfast and sat and finished another book... excellent book... 

A neighbor came by as he has dining room chairs to give away. He stayed to chat... 

After he left, I continued to read... 

I finally turned on the WiFi at 4pm and proceeded to see if any more books had arrived at the library for me to pick up.

I had dinner plans and on the way, I was to help someone pick up some items. And when I left, it was such a down pour... wow... I got to both appointments on time... 

Dinner was at a new buffet restaurant. SO DELICIOUS! Her treat... I was so full...

I got home late for prayer time as the rain was again coming down hard. I made it by 8:52!

When that was finished, I blogged and cleaned up and sat and read some more... ha, ha, ha... 

DAY 2 finished all too fast...

Reading Monday

I was up late... and rode out to do a walk/run... and it was way too hot. I did a very slow walk/run and covered only 6km. 

I was home and after a shower, I had my breakfast and promptly gathered the books and planted myself on the sofa. I finished one book by 5pm. 

Of course, I got up from time to time... I redid the bathroom cabinet to message Alan that he has plenty of deodorant and shaving cream and ointments that he likes to buy from the states. I also found that I have four boxes of masks... What to do with those? Maybe I should just give them away??? 

At 5pm, I turned on the WiFi and blogged and checked emails. No notification from the library... Oh well... But I think I have enough books to read for this week!

I had Bible study at 7pm, so I left the house at 6:30.

Prayer time was at 8:45... So, I logged on, but muted it... 

I was home by 11... and yes, you guessed it... READ, READ, READ... 

I am thinking that one week is not going to be enough... ha, ha, ha...

Tremendously Productive Sunday!

I slept in... no need to rush off for a run... ha, ha, ha... 

But I did have to go and pick up the car and then I went to Costco as I promised a friend to buy things that are in the coupon book and today was the last day! That place was so crowded... I had to park in B3 and it was only 9:35!

I got the stuff and finished by 10:45 and headed home.

I had breakfast and for lunch I had a salad... YUMMY! I baked another avocado and cream cheese bread... YUMMY!

I took a quick nap and soon, it was time to go to church. I wanted to be there early... not only to set up but a guy was coming to pick up stuff... from the Buy Nothing Taipei Group!

I had brought extra snacks and stuff to give away. YIPPY!

I had to translate and the testimonies were great.

After church I had prayer time with five different people... WOW... very fruitful! And then I headed home and was sitting in front of my computer by 8:30! 

I blogged and read... and just enjoyed the evening... 

Yes, yes, yes... reading week has officially started!

Marvelous Saturday... Busy Yet Marvelous

 I was up but not early... I took the car to drop it off, but the Toyota Dealer was not opened yet, so I just parked it and went for my run. I came back from my run and dropped off the car... For the check up, the fee would be 770NT$. I ran home and baked an avocado bread with cream cheese and took a shower.

I rushed off to tutoring and the hour went by quickly. I then went and paid a few bills and picked up things for the box to the Philippines and I was home.

My old co-workers from Ming Chuan came over and we snacked and hung out! It was so nice to catch up with them. We will schedule another time and hopefully, a few more individuals will join us... These co-workers came to know Christ... 

After they left, I cleaned up and headed out to Ms. Hsieh and those two hours flew by... Wow... the massage helped my knee a lot! I should make this more of a regular thing.

I came home, checked the recycling and got into the house just in time for Family Time. 

Isaiah and Alan are in the States. Abby is in Brazil... So, it was great to catch up!

When that finished, I blogged and sorted through things and READ... READ... READ... My week of reading has started. YIPPY!

Tremendously Wonderful MOE Day!

I didn't run my usual 8... I made 7.2... I doubt that I will finish 50 this week... I was in a rush...

And I'm glad I finish early...

I went to my scooter and my battery seemed to be dead. I went back up and grabbed Alan's keys and his scooter was having a hard time starting... battery issues... so then I felt the LORD saying to me, "Try your scooter again..." and I did and it started! PRAISE JESUS. I don't like riding Alan's big scooter.

I was at work... four minutes late!

We are still working on a science month booklet... but the staff was working on matching the English with the Chinese, so I really had 'nothing' to do until 3pm. I read... yes, caught on on the news. I read the books I brought.... Almost finished another book. And it was just a fun morning... I had brought congee and Chinese buns for snacks and lunch... 

I stayed until 5:10 and I had to take off... and my scooter was jammed by these other scooters. It took me a while to get myself out of the space. BUT, I made it to tutoring by 5:58! YEAH!

The hour went by quickly... and I was heading home by 7:15... YEAH...

I got home and unpacked everything and sat down to read, read, read... I had to set an alarm so that I didn't forget prayer time at 8:45... and then I blogged... ate dinner... and 12 midnight came too quickly. I didn't want to sleep... as I had my nose in a book... but I had to... tutoring tomorrow and friends coming over in the afternoon. I was hoping to bake... YIKES... and I also wanted to pick up things for a box of donation to the Philippines.

I know God will carry me through...

Fantastic Day!

I was up but not early and got my 8KM in... very slow... 

Then after a shower, I put the clothes drying in the balcony away and had a delicious breakfast... And I sat and read... Yes, I've almost finished another book!

Lunch time came all too quickly... and then I sat to getting the back balcony cleared of a few things... I posted things to give away... 

And I left for the library at 2:30 to renew one library card. For the other card, I needed our household registry! I will have to get that done maybe next week.

I picked up three books and returned one... and off I went to meet up with a gal. She forgot... I waited until 4:37 and then left to the library again... I went to the bigger library... Theo the Golden has not been put on the shelf, but maybe by early September... I did get other books... so I am set... but I'm reading them so fast that my stockpile is dwindling fast... ha, ha, ha... 

I came home and sat down and read some more... getting up to mop or sweep or message people.

I made myself a salad for dinner and then prayer time at 8:45.

The day was fantastic...
