Pleasant Sunday!

I was up but not too early... and had a leisurely morning before going to pick up food stuff from a lady... She and her mother had too much stuff in their freezer and she wanted to clear things out... She travels a lot and her mom doesn't eat that much... And they buy nice expensive stuff... So, I came back with two huge bags of goodies... and for sure, I will not need to go to Costco while Alan is gone... I was just getting things finished off and now, my freezer is packed... YUMMY! On the way back, I went and updated our passbooks... I get about 110US$ per day at the MOE... not too bad... it's an income! Thank you, Jesus!

I got home and worked on finishing up the suitcase as you might recall that Isaiah only has one going and two coming back. The bag is packed: 24 kilos... and his carry on... 6kgs. So... I have a bit of wiggle room for just a few more items, something light!

I sat and read... and prepped for tutoring this week... The new student I went to tutor on Thursday wants me back... 

Church at 3:15... YEAH... set up Love Cafe... I was the speaker today... Part 2... 

Prayer time... 

Home... Nice evening... the week has started!

What A Fun Day!

I was up and ran my 8km... and yes, amazingly... I did run 50 this week... 

Then I was home for a shower and got my stuff for tutoring... but first, I scootered over to a gal's house who had food stuff for me to pick up... lost of great snacks... 

I got home and put down the bags of goodies and grabbed my tutoring bag and I was off... I made it right on time!

That hour went fast and I was home... 

Isaiah left at 1 to get movie tickets and went over to see Fenny. They did not join the bike ride... 

In fact, only 7 people joined... 18 had signed up... it was raining... but I love riding in the rain... like running in the rain... it's just so refreshing.

We made it to the restaurant and it was only 20NT$ for the bike rental... ha, ha, ha... 

The food was great and everyone showed up!

We had a splendid time.

I got home at around 9pm... and just chilled... 

What a wonderfully fun day!

Worked At MOE

I was up and ran my 8km... not pleasant...

After a shower, I was off to the office... and arrived 5 minutes before 9am.

Yes, I read the news and the books that I brought with me... then at 11am, work arrived! We are to proof a large document for a joint sponsored science fair that will be taking place for the month of November. So... I had to put away all the things I brought to work on and started on that... and the day flew by...

On the way home, I stopped at someone's house to pick up free food and snacks... YIPPY!

I was home by 7pm.

Prayer time at 8:45... and the weekend has started!

Two More Books Finished!

I was up and did my 8km... slower than usual... but the skies were cloudy... much more bearable!

I took a shower and proceeded to camp myself on the sofa, after I got Isaiah's clothes into his carry on... we are still working with one suitcase filled to 23kilos... and then his carry on and backpack. I will post whatever is not packed in the Buy Nothing Group to give away!

So... like the title of this post... I finished two more novels... Still Jane Eyre is my all time favorite... these newer authors don't have the knack for depth of descriptive details and character building... I realized that even though I like Jane Austen's books, she introduced so many, or rather, too many characters, and thus, I actually get lost. Bronte built on just two characters and delve into their mental and emotional state in such depth that draw me to love the book more. Anyhow... I have not come across another book quite like Jane Eyre!

I had an appointment at 3:30, but that was canceled as the gal wasn't feeling well... I was quite happy to be able to stay home... That's how I was able to finish two books!

I did have to leave at 6pm for a new student. I gave myself a longer time than what the GPS said, planning to get lost...

Prayer time at 8:45! And yes, the day was done!

Not A Very Motivated Wednesday

I was up and the clouds covered the skies... I ran my 8km!

Then after a shower, I was updating my talk and checking my ppt. I can do that without WiFi!

Isaiah was working from home... 

I went down to get the recycling done... and that was super nice! ALL CLEANED OUT. I really am grateful as I beg them to take everything and they usually do!

I had a lunch date at 12noon, but first I went to the library to pick up some more books. I also returned the two that I had finished... 

Lunch was again a treat from a dear sister and I brought home so much leftovers that I have enough food for a week. I'm not exaggerating!

It was already 2:15 when I got home... I sat down and read... I was trying to limit myself to 30 minutes... but an hour went by.

I had to prep for tutoring as the mom wanted two hours... and I will most likely get another new student via referral. We shall see... 

I checked my emails... blogged... but didn't do much... No laundry to be taken cared of... I didn't mop or sweep the floor... ha, ha, ha... I did take a nap! 

Tutoring went well... 5:30 to 7:30 and I was home by 8pm.

Isaiah had left for a baseball game. I think he goes to see the cheerleaders.

Tomorrow is my PR Day... but I will be meeting up with a sister at 3:30 and a new student at 7pm.

Slight Sprinkle This Morning!

I feel like that cartoon about, Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs... or something like that... 

Yes, I was up and there were clouds and the ground looked wet... By the time I went out, the rain had stopped... but the skies were still cloud covered... that made the run a bit more bearable... I ran my 8KM.

After Isaiah took off, I started to reorganized the luggage... I will ask Isaiah to see how much it weighs already... I hope only 16KGS... which means I still have another 8kgs. 

I worked on my talk as well as my PPT and then went out at 10:30 to pay a few bills and meet a friend for lunch! Dumplings and noodles... and eggplant salad... YUMMY!

I was home by 2:30 and no tutoring... so... I sat with the AC on and read... I was thinking about taking a nap... but I wanted to get a few things done...

The days pass so quickly... Sometimes, I look and it's already 10:30 or later...

Enchanting Monday

I was up but didn't get out of bed until 5:28... Oh well... which meant I didn't get out to run until 6:45... and yes, that's late and that's hot... and humid... but I finished my 8km. 

Isaiah didn't need to go to work at his usual time as he has been taking computer classes every Monday, assigned by the company! Classes don't start until 9:30 at the train station.

He left and I sat and read... yep... finished a book... easy reading... and the morning was gone!

I wanted to make two different kinds of macaroni salad... one with cream cheese and another with mayo and broccoli... so, I started the cooking... and had a delicious salad for lunch... and there's plenty for the next few days. I have some meat in the fridge which I will pair with the salad... 

Then it was time to work on finishing up my talk for this coming Sunday. But first, I called China Airlines as I realized that Isaiah has one luggage going to the States and two luggage for his return trip. I wanted to flip it... but after waiting for more than 20 minutes on the phone to talk to a 'real' person, NO CAN DO... I can pay for an extra or pay for one overweight luggage... I don't want to pay... so I will have to rework the packing... But not today... 

I worked on my talk and did a bit of cleaning, including putting away the clothes that are washed and dried... I even turned on the AC for about two hours as it was getting so hot... 

Prayer meeting in person at 8pm. It finished at 9pm. I got home... read some more and the day was done... 

WOW...
