The Eagle Has Landed...

I was up early and went out for my 8KM... I hope to get up earlier so that I can be out before 5:30!

I was so happy that I had the FREE DAY! 

I put all the items to give away on the first floor lobby... and then after Isaiah left, I cleaned out all the unwanted packets of sauces... It felt so good to just toss them...  

For breakfast, I had toast with butter... YUMMY... and milk tea from my students who went to Singapore!

Then I read and finished up my notes for the study tonight.

Alan landed... and Annie had quite a time meeting up with him. LAX is just crazy...

I went out at 12noon to go and drop things off at church: the refilled sugar jar, clothes for a sister, and tennis shoes. Then I dropped off things for donation at the elderly man's booth. On the way home, I bought soy bean milk! YIPPY!

This evening I had my Bible study on the book Heaven... and the discussion was lively, as always. I asked Alan to lead the Prayer time as we did not finish by 8:45... it was 5:45 in the States and Alan is staying at my Mom's condo... Annie filled the fridge and it's a vacation for Alan. Annie sure takes good care of my hubby...

The Eagle Has Departed!

I was up super early... and I think I'm going to try to be up that early every day until Alan gets back. The weather was much nicer... seriously!

I got back and took a quick shower and Alan had already loaded the car and we took off at 6:40.

I did the curbside drop off... no parking and I headed back home. The traffic was bad... so I didn't get back until 8:45. I was going to go down for the recycling, but I totally forgot... 

I made this beef dish... wow... and cleaned out one kitchen cupboard... YEAH! I will attempt to finish up what food we have in the freezer... at least try not to go and buy things... let's see what we can do. I will have to buy either chicken or ground beef... and romaine lettuce... but that's it... 

I had toast with butter for breakfast and set the iRobot going. I then grouped all that I have for Isaiah's two suitcases and packed up donation for Nepal. I will ask Isaiah to bring that huge bag to the car and drop off...

I took a nice nap and prepped for tutoring and my Bible study tomorrow night and it was time to head out to tutor.

Alan made it to the Philippines and got on the plane for the States.

I had tutoring at 3:40 and another student at 6pm.

Isaiah went to a baseball game with Fenny and came home late... he comes home late most nights.

I had prayer time at 8:45 and spent the rest of the evening just enjoying having the house to myself!

Packing Day!

I was up early and did my tortuous 8KM. It's the heat... You can't imagine... 

I got home and after a quick shower, and Isaiah took off, I got things gathered to pack to send with Alan... and yes, things to send with Isaiah. Alan has like 40KILOS of Annie's stuff... and Isaiah will have both suitcases filled with stuff for Annie! 

We went out for lunch which was great... and then stopped at a high-end pineapple cake shop to buy two large boxes for Annie... Then we were home. 

We took a nice nap... Very necessary... ha, ha, ha... I was feeling very tired. The heat just drained all my energy.

I blogged... put things away... and organized my tutoring for tomorrow.

I also started to put together my PPT... just the basics as Isaiah said he'd show me how to use AI to add the Chinese! We shall see... 

Tomorrow, I hope to be up by 4am as we need to be out of the house by 6:30am to head to the airport!

Nice Monday!

I was up early and I ran my 8KM!

I got home and took a shower... then since I didn't have tutoring at 11am, I sat and read! What a delight!

Alan and I had lunch and I blogged for our church and read some more.

Tutoring was at 3:30 and I prepped and left and finished at 5:15. I stopped to buy a few things for Annie and got home by 6pm. We had our HOP meeting at 7pm, so I made a salad to bring to church.

The meet went really well and we were home by 10pm.

After finishing my blog and working a bit more on my talks for August, I was in bed by 11:30. Tomorrow is a free day as we are working on packing for Alan's trip to the States!

I realize that it is really nice to have a free Monday morning since my weekends can be so packed with activities!

Another Productive Sunday

I was up early and so glad it was a no run day as it was blaring hot...

I did so much in that first couple of hours... I was like: What? It's only 8:30???

Then at 9am, I went out to check on recycling and do errands. I went to church to drop off the ice cream then went and help clean out that friend's house. I will have to go back like several times to get the house in any kind of order... NOT even really neat... just in order! I will have to bring bleach next time and spray down the place! I picked up what she left me and brought the stuff home after I went and paid bills.

I was home by 12! YEAH!

Alan was home and Isaiah was gone. 

I put things away and proceeded to post more things to give away!

Church at 3pm... but first a friend came over to my house to pick up a bread machine and containers. YEAH! I dropped stuff off at our blind masseuses lady and went to church to set up Love Cafe. I had bought goodies from Costco! YEAH!

Alan preached and Isaiah translated. Isaiah was also the worship leader!

I stayed to help with clean up and came home at 8:30! Yes, before coming up, I always check the recycling again.

The week has started...

Celebrating Father's Day

I was up early and ran my 8km and made the 50 for this week! Wow...

Then I was home and made cucumber salad and clear the spices... well... two bottles of expired spices that have gotten too 'wet' with this humid weather!

We had planned to leave at 10:45 to pick up Fenny at the MRT Station, but she was late. Anyhow, we were off to go snorkeling by 11:30! The place was so crowded and we rented the equipment was out there in the water. We stayed until almost 4pm and then we went to an early dinner in Keelung at our favorite place!

We decided to go to Costco as Fenny has never been in one and we needed to get the phone for Abby! She has friends who will be going to Brazil in September! Alan will bring it to the States. We also got tissue packets for Annie... ha, ha, ha... We spent so much... and finished at 7:45 and got home by 8:45!

What a day!

Alan took a shower and with Isaiah, dropped Fenny off. I stayed home to get things put away!

Happy Father's Day... Taiwan Father's Day is on August 8th and Alan will be in the States, so we decided to celebrate today with a fun outing.

Another Productive MOE Day

I was up early... I had to be as I wanted to squeeze in a run before I 'run off' to the MOE for the day.

I had everything ready, so I was home and out again after my quick shower. Alan had already taken off as he had his last day of class with the Japanese students.

I arrived early, which I like... and set up my stuff. I had brought lots of stuff to do.

I caught up on some news and read the books I brought. Then I used the rest of the day to prepare the two messages for August: Living in His Presence through Acts! I wanted to do a simple overview of the book of Acts and concentrate on Acts 4. I found that chapter to contain all the essential elements captured in the book of Acts. I spent the day reading commentaries... I didn't write much of my script, but I sure enjoyed the research. 

The day passed and I was out of the office and 'running' errands. I had to buy coupons for this Sunday as it's Father's Day. I also had scooter parking to pay. And then I was finally home. 

I headed out to my friend's house to pick up more stuff that she had left for me and to help tidy up the place. They had headed to the airport at around 5:45.

I was home by 6:30... and it was just nice to be home!

Free evening... YIPPY!
