A Touristy Day

I did not get up early enough... AGAIN... And early enough means I was up after 5:30. I need to change... I must get up before 5:30! It was another miserable run! I finished my 8KM.

I was home and after a shower, I put together things to drop off for a friend.

Alan was home early as we had a day planned to take a friend's daughter around. We left at 11am and fan a few errands and picked her up at the XiHu MRT Station. 

First stop: Traditional Chinese breakfast.

Then: Meiti Park.

Next: Martry's Shrine and Grand Hotel.

Finally: A drive up to see the hiking trails and the suspension bridge.

We dropped her back at the MRT Station and got back home at 4:30. I had tutoring at 5:30. I had to get everything together and off I went.

The time flew by and I got home by 7:30 for prayer time... Wow...

When that was done, I had my next prayer group at 8:45.

Isaiah had basketball...

Tomorrow is another full day of tutoring and teaching.

Another Fun Outing!

I was up and out too late... as there weren't any clouds... but I squeezed in my run and got home... 

Isaiah left for work...

I took a shower and posted things to give away... yes, more things to give away.

And Alan came home early from tennis and we left at 10:10 for our snorkeling adventure!

First we went to pick up my bag and buy drinks... then it was a nice drive along the east coast. We stopped at a lighthouse... and by 12:30, we were at the snorkeling sight. 

Thankfully, it was cloudy. The water was warm and we rented snorkeling gears for like 2US$ per person! We didn't get the shoes, which we will on Saturday. Yes, we're going again on Saturday.

We stayed there until 5pm and off we went to Keelung for dinner!

Alan's favorite: Oyster fried pancakes... and Cantonese dumplings. 

We finally got home at around 8pm... Prayer time at 8:45... 

And I was ready for bed...

I should do a load of laundry tomorrow... but it's going to be another fun day out...

I do have tutoring tomorrow and a full day on Wednesday... I hope to have time to prep!

And A Restful Sunday... Extra, Extra-Ordinary!

I was up LATE... and no run... I went to buy fruit and veggies and there were so many people out... 

I came home and rested...

It was a wonderfully relaxing morning.

We ate leftovers for lunch... and I had bought salad stuff... so perfect!

At 3pm, we went to church... and helped with setting up for Love Cafe and talking to people. I translated... and it was again an amazing message!

We cleaned up and came home by 8pm... AMAZING... that's early! 

I did the recycling and blogged... prayed with a sister and watched TV...

What a great start of a new week!

A Restful Saturday... EXTRAORDINARY!

I was up and did run my final 8KM... I went out late and that was a mistake... 

I got home and just putter around... read more novels... I got out the Daddy Long Legs by Jean Webster and read that book... I used the juicer and made carrot juice... absolutely fabulous. I put ingredients into the bread maker and made bread... Carrot pulps and raisins... not too bad... but I am still figuring it out.

We had plenty of food in the fridge... but no salad stuff... I was thinking about going out but never made it out!

At 4:45, we went to the dinner meet up point to see which restaurant we wanted to have our get together. We chose a Korean restaurant and it was delicious. Eleven people and we ordered a lot and had leftovers.

We got home at 9:50 and Family Time was to start by 10pm, but we got started late...

Tomorrow... No morning service and no Young Adults Fellowship! I will go and get the veggies and maybe go to Costco?!?!?! I will be translating for the afternoon service...

Another Productive MOE Day

I was up and out and ran my 8KM... 

After a quick shower and sending Isaiah off, I was on my scooter... 

I made it there before 9am and got myself settled.

I had a list of what I wanted to get done:

Prep my two talks for HOP 

Read the Heaven book

Get my special class on Wednesday 7/29 set

Read the news on line...

And I got all that done and more... 

I was out of the office by 5:10 and scootered to pick up a library book, get my scooter tuned up and pay a few bills.

I even bought some Chinese Romaine. It was not cheap, but I had a terrific salad.

A lady came to pick up clothes that I had posted in Buy Nothing... So... I continue to get things out of the house...

The weekend has started...

Fun Day Out

I was up early but did not go out until after 7:30... It wasn't too bad... 

Alan and I had planned an outing... So, we left at 10:30 and picked up friends and headed over to Ilan. I had found a nice public spa at a hotel. You have to pay an entrance fee, but you can stay the whole day. And that's what we did... we bought food and drinks and just enjoyed the day there. We didn't head back until 6:30...

After getting back, I had to drop off things at my students' house and then get gas. I needed to get my scooter tuned up, but I didn't have time.

Prayer time at 8:45... blogged and the day was finished.

I didn't want to go to bed too late as I have my full MOE day tomorrow!

My PR Day!

I was up early and did my laborious run... I never feel like doing it now with this summer blaring heat... I just drag my legs out... but once I do go out, I'm always glad I did... even though I'm drenched in sweat upon my return... and I dunk at least two cans of sports drink to hydrate myself!

We were going to go out for a fun day but with the computer still being set up and the living room looking like a tornado blew through, we decided to 'switch'. Today became my PR Day and we will go out tomorrow.

I took out ground beef and made a delicious lunch/dinner dish and sat and read... And I am now completely convinced that I ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A DOUBT DO NOT ENJOY READING A NOVEL VIA THE COMPUTER... When I want to go back to a certain dialogue, I can't stand strolling back and trying to find it... tedious... and I can't put the book away and come back to it... I like picking up a real book... I like skimming... and skipping and going forward and backward... 

But it was a nice morning... 

Then I went out at 3pm to pick up cheese packets and drop off a book for a friend. I also went to buy pop... and soy bean milk!

Yes, I did eat lunch... the dish I made. It was so good... with added sour cream and cheese!

I had tutoring at 6pm and Alan finished the set up by 5pm! YEAH!

Prayer time at 8:45... 

And the day was done! SPLENDID!
