Yes, Another MOE Day!

I was up... not early... no run... although it was my favorite weather... RAIN!

I had the box down for pick up and I had to give the guard the envelope with the slip and money plus someone was coming to pick up a pair of Nike collector's shoes... They were not new... but still quite nice.

And then since the rain was so heavy, I left early and I was completely soaked when I arrived at the MOE Office... down to my underwear and everything I brought to change into was all soaked... and even the towel... 

Oh well... 

The day flew by... I had things to do... editing that brochure... I finished and did have time to catch up on news... and read the book I brought. It was a delightful day.

I also had my breakfast, lunch, snack... milk tea, milk coffee... it was just a great day!

I rode to tutor and was again soaked... and late... I went until 7:30 and came home at 8:10... and boy, it felt so good to be home.

Prayer time at 8:45. I blogged and checked my email... 

Tomorrow I'm going to go to the library... I have books that have arrived... but my week of reading has flown by. 

Yes, I did stay up tonight... so delightful!

I had music placing and just enjoyed the evening...

READING & RESTING THURSDAY

I was up and enjoyed a wonderful morning... no rush... 

The library was closed... first Thursday of the month... so... I didn't go and pick up any books... that's OK... I read what I had... and reread the books that I so enjoy...

Trust me... the morning flew by and since it was drizzling, I went and hobble 6km and came home for a nice shower and lunch. I made myself a delicious salad... and took an afternoon nap...

I posted things to give away and the guy came to pick up. I then did a little dusting and rearranged my curio cabinet... Quite nice.

The rain was coming down hard... but at 5:15, I had to venture out... tutoring at 6pm... 90 minutes... and then prayer time at 8:45.

Alan and Isaiah sent pictures. They are enjoying their time at the US Open. 

Isaiah is set to be back by Monday... WAHHHHHHHH... and Alan will be back 10 days later... WAHHHHH... Not that I don't love them... but... my 'house to myself' days are over.

Annie said that she is sending lots over... ha, ha, ha... so I will have to take the time to unpack everything... that's another 'task' that I guess I can look forward to... Alan for sure will be buying lots of donuts... and I have been trying to clear out my freezer, but I don't eat enough to make a dent... I am baking every Sunday, but still... Things are not disappearing fast enough... When Isaiah is back, that will help!

I had to go to bed early... MOE Day... so no staying up until 1am to read... sad, sad, sad... I will do that on Friday and Saturday...

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...

Tutoring Wednesday and More...

I was not up early... and didn't go out for my run until almost 8am. God was merciful, giving me clouds and a slight breeze... but I still ran very very slow... At least I finished my 8KM.

I went immediately down to the recycling and our cleaning guy was not there and there was only one guy from the recycling place. So, we worked together and got everything into the truck. 

I rushed upstairs and took a shower and ate breakfast... and headed out for tutoring. I was thinking about getting the car into the Toyota Dealer, but no time.

Tutored from 11-12:30... and of course, I went a bit over and got home at 1pm after stopping to redeem a coffee voucher I got from donating blood. 

I ate lunch... Pizza and coffee and then it was 1:30 and I had to head out again for tutoring, stopping to get gas into my scooter. Wow...

That went well... I brought the mini oven down to the first floor as someone was coming to pick it up and I brought the portable kid's chair home... yes, someone will come over here to pick that up. I was home by 3:45. 

I had the iRobot vacuum going, so the chairs were all up... and I got the iRobot mop going and the steamer as well... Wow... And did I mention that the weather turned scorching HOT???

Isaiah arrived safely to the States... Alan picked him up... YEAH!

They will go to Annie's house to drop off the luggage and then head down to San Diego to see Mom Bea.

I had tutoring at 6pm... and was home by 7:20 and then prayer time at 8:45. 

Wow... what a day!

I am enjoying being home alone... I started the Italian clock that chimes and the German cuckoo clock going... no one likes it... but I love them... chiming and cuckooing... and since I'm the only one... YIPPY!

I pressed published but my internet was having trouble... so I guess it didn't publish...

Bible Study & Airport

I was up and the weather was cooler... In fact, I could have ran later on in the morning... But I had Bible study at 10am.

We finished Psalm 34 and our next study will be on September 15th, the day before Alan's return.

We stayed and chatted until 2pm. I went and dropped off a computer for recycling and got 3US$... ha, ha, ha...

Then it was home... Checked email... Blogged... Put things away from my Bible study and then I did the next lesson. I always do that so that I'm ready. It also gives me the time to pray for the ladies in the group.

Isaiah was home by 6:30 and we made sure he had everything.

We left by 8pm and when we went down, the car wouldn't start! The battery... Uber would have been 1500NT$. And so, I called the Toyota Dealership... and the guy who answered was the guy who usually services our car. I asked if he could bring a battery over and he came within five minutes. With a jump, the car started and we were off... The rain wasn't bad, but we didn't want to turn on the AC. And when we got there, I couldn't park as I didn't want to stop the car. So, I stayed at the departure area... with the engine running while Isaiah went to check in. The lines were long, but the police were most gracious. I wanted to make sure that his luggage was ok and it was -- 23.5! Wow... He came out and we took a couple of pictures and I took off back home! 

I got home by 10:30! The drive went well as many people were praying for me!

Then I got a message: one of my students tested positive for Covid, so that hour is cancelled for tomorrow. It was going to be such a long day, so I'm glad that I will have one free hour!

The rest of the evening went well and I waited until Isaiah messaged me and said that he was boarding...

What a day!

Productive Monday!

I was up and ran a very slow 8KM... very very slow... 

I got home and Isaiah took off... I took a quick shower and prepped for tutoring... I then had breakfast... YUMMY buns from that lady... 

Then at 11am I left to go to the library to return two books that I had finished and to pick up two more books... and get things copied... And then I was on my way to Danhsui. A friend will be staying until late November. It was a long ride... and it was sprinkling... 

I opened the windows, turned on the fans and the air freshener... and watered the plants. I left at 1:30 and arrived at my tutoring 12 minutes late... and I ended tutoring another 15 minutes late... so I didn't get home until 5:15 for prayer time!

When that was finished, I started a load of Isaiah's clothes as I didn't want his dirty clothes sitting in the hamper for more than two weeks... He told him to put everything away when he gets home as I put his stuff in the dryer instead of hanging them up.

Prayer time at 8:45 and then I made the dish for tomorrow's Bible study! 

What a productive Monday!

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...

A Splendid Sunday!

I was up and had a relaxing morning... After my quiet time, I had no need to rush to go for a run... to beat the heat...

All the stuff that I had left to give away was picked up... wow... 

And I reviewed my talk and had cream cheese with toast for breakfast.

The morning flew by... I left at 2:30 for church, checking the recycling first! 

I set up the Love Cafe and someone else set up the chairs.

I was the speaker... Living in the Presence of God through Acts!

Isaiah was the translator!

Love Feast afterwards... and then I was home by 8pm.

YEAH...

I checked my emails... blogged... and tried the juicer, finishing up the carrot... and went to bed early...

Delightful Saturday!

Well... I was up but not early enough, since I thought I'd give myself time to sleep in... I didn't have to rush back... but that was not wise as it's not the rushing back... it's the blaring sun... I completed my 8km... disastrous... torturous... but it is done. 50KM for the week...

I proceeded to clean out my closet... after a quick shower. I try to put away the fall/winter clothes but I had not done it since I had need of those clothes for the trip to Germany. So, I spent two hours packing up the sweatshirts and jackets and pants... and I love how the closet looks now. I also redid the bottom area where I had started to use as storage... for travel items. I was finished at around 10am... and started to get ready for tutoring!

11am to 12noon... the hour flew by... delightful... 

I was home by 12:30 and had a McMuffin that Alan left behind... It was exactly the brunch that I wanted... with mustard... YUMMY!

Isaiah was up and he planned to leave at 1:20... 

I sat and read... I can read Jane Eyre over and over again... I realized that I used to know those more difficult vocabulary words... words that I see on the SAT... and I need to refresh my memory... I love it... 

4pm can too quickly... 

Should I do a load of laundry?

Should I go and update my bankbooks and run errands?

The clouds had gathered and the weather had turned drizzling... I wanted to go out as two books had arrived at the library... Yes, I am getting lots of books to read via the local library... books in English... So, when the rain halted... I dashed to the library... another evening of reading. And I did get a load of laundry done... My dinner... a wonderful salad!

Family Time at 9pm!

In the News...

I was up and ran my 8km... 

You might be puzzled by the title... that's because my MOE Days are catch up on news days... 

Yes, I had another great MOE Day... 

I brought two books to read... my lap top computer... and snacks... ha, ha, ha... I didn't move from my desk all morning... 

For lunch, I brought the ground beef dumplings concoction... and rested...

5pm came quickly and I decided to go and see a new Japanese supermarket that opened up at Miramar. (I forgot to mention yesterday that our Soda Stream went bizerko... but Annie, don't worry... you gave us a spare! I am mentioning this here because I usually get the replacement cartridges at Miramar!)

The supermarket was nice... and expensive... high end stuff... 

But it was fun to cruise around!

I got home and made myself a salad... I bought some great lettuce from the Lopia Japanese Market!

The evening passed so quickly... 

Prayer at 8:45 and the day was done...

Tutoring at 11am tomorrow morning!

Daily Lovely Insight:

Yes -- PR Day!

I was up and completed my 8km... 

And Isaiah took off and I had the house to myself.

First, I made a ground beef dumpling dish... Well... I put all the ingredients in the rice cooker and hit -- cook!

I then sat and read... and napped... 

The morning flew by!

At 2:30, the 'alarm' sounded: no going out for the military drill that had started! REALLY!!!!

The drill finished at 3pm.

The dumpling dish was finished and it was delicious... WOW... 

At 5:30, I headed out to the library to return books and then tutoring at 6pm -- two hours... When that was finished, I stopped at our local mini supermarket to buy soy bean milk... and headed home!

I decided to use the time to pack up the suitcases that Isaiah will bring to the States... WOW! Now, all Isaiah needs to do is to put together his stuff in the carry on... He's not leaving for another two weeks... but hey... I wanted to know if I have any more room or weight to put more stuff in those two suitcases! I think I do... 

Prayer time at 8:45... 

Tomorrow... MOE Day!

Much Needed Time...

I was up early and finished my 8KM.

After Isaiah left, I called Ms. Hsieh and she had time at 11:30.

I went down to do the recycling and spent the rest of the morning reading... I am going to plan a week when both Alan and Isaiah are gone and limit tutoring to after 6pm and just stay home all day and read, read, read... 

Before leaving at 11:00, I got the iRobot going. I dropped off things at the old gentleman 'thrift' stall! Then I went and had a 2-hour massage... my back and legs felt so much better.

I had tutoring at 2pm and another student at 3:40 and I was home by 5:30. YIPPY!

I was really hungry, so I made myself a huge salad. I'm still working on clearing the fridge. I wonder if I can avoid going to Costco for the entire time that Alan is away! Isaiah will be leaving on August 26th... so... We shall see... I might have to buy meat, but I'm working on clearing the freezer... and I'm doing quite well... 

I blogged for HOP and then Prayer time at 8:45 and Bible study at 9pm.

When that was finished, I went and read in bed...
