Double Service Sunday

I was up early but it was not about going out running... I had a morning service to attend. The pastor of the church is on vacation in the states, so he invited me to speak.

I had things to sort from the recycling and posted things to give away! YIPPY!

The recycling area is so crazy... I think we have three families moving in... because there is so much stuff... empty boxes and things that they don't want! Plus, this is the end of the school year so kids are tossing all their textbooks. SAD!

I arrived at the church early and praise the LORD, there were four new people. It's a small church, but we had about 30 people, including the newcomers. I was able to talk to one gal and pray with her.

I scootered back home and had lunch and a Power Nap before taking off to my usual church. The Love Cafe was almost finished... I added a few more goodies... And I had things to give away... WOW... 

Alan was the speaker and then we had testimony from the two kids who were baptized... and communion. It was a wonderful service.

Afterwards, we had our monthly HOP meeting... and that ended at 9:15! 

When I went out, it was starting to sprinkle... YIKES... I got home before the down pour! It made the air so muggy...

Yes, we have our AC on... 

I blogged... checked my emails... put things down at the guard booth for people to pick up and posted more things on Buy Nothing... 

The week has started... and it's another busy one!

Fourth of July

I was up early and went out for a short 5KM as we had breakfast reservation at the Renaissance for Alan's birthday.

Fenny rode her scooter and we all rode our scooters... and the breakfast was fabulous... Totally worth the money... And it wasn't limited to 90 minutes. We just stayed until it was time to leave... We forgot to take pictures... I'm so bummed!

Alan, Isaiah and Fenny came home to take a nap while I went to a friend's house to pick up ingredients. She is madly trying to get the house cleaned up and they have so much stuff... She will have an open house and drop things off at the church tomorrow night... If I brought a car over, she could nave filled the entire car with things to give away. I had hoped that she had started earlier... but a month was not enough. I think she should have started in February. That's how much stuff she had to give away!

I came home and will bring things to church tomorrow.

And I too took a short nap before we started with MOVIE TIME. That was the plan... Isaiah found The Devil Wears Prada 2... and that's what we watched.

When that was over, Fenny had to take off to meet her friend in Taoyuan and she will be staying overnight there... So, she won't be at church tomorrow.

I finished packing up the box that is going to the Philippines and Alan and Isaiah worked to seal it and put it down in the lobby of our building. I have continued to give away things... Today, I put in two dresses and a jacket in that box... YEAH... And the carry on suitcases and computer bag have not yet been picked up... but hopefully next week!

I did a load of laundry and went out for another run... Alan went to the tennis courts as it was getting nicer out. That was why we planned for Movie Time. We were thinking of going to watch the movie at the theater, but none of the time fit our schedule. So, we decided to watch it at home and that actually worked out nicely.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day... 

I will share at a morning service... and Alan will be the speaker at House of Praise. We will also have our HOP Monthly Leadership Meeting as people are taking off on Monday...

MOE Started!

I was up early and did go for my run...I might hit 10>55km tomorrow... wow... I can't believe that!

I was back and after a shower, I gathered my stuff and took off for the MOE Office. I gave myself 50minutes.

The traffic was fine and I got there by 8:45!

I had the badge and the key and cleaned up a bit and put my things in the fridge. I got the computer going and set myself up, not knowing if I had any appointments or document to proof.

I'm glad I brought the book and my lap top. 

I finished reading the chapters and the ppt for Sunday.

it was a very productive day. No document to edit and no appointment.

I even had time to catch up on the news and see the standings for the FIFA World Cup. Ha, ha, ha...

At 5:17 I left and rode home, stopping to get money to pay all the bills.

I was hungry, so I fixed myself a salad and had cream of corn soup. YUMMY!

Alan and I watched the Mentalist and then prayer time at 8:45.

Not My Typical PR Day

I was up and did go out for a slow 8KM. But like life, I just focused on taking one step at a time.

I was back and able to say good bye to Isaiah.

After a shower, I had wanted to get the living room cabinet, at least one side of it, reorganized in order to give more stuff away. I knew that the paper work was not going to be easy... and sure enough, just opening up one folder took 30 minutes. So I put that away. Instead, I worked on looking through my carry ons. And I am delighted to say that I am giving away two carry ons and two computer bags! Yesterday, I gave away four rice bowls and threw away an old book that I had from my studies in Pepperdine! It was one of the thickest!

Alan came home and decided to drive out to Danhsui as we wanted to go across the new bridge. That was a great car ride. Alan bought CoCo and fried chicken and we went to the Danhsui apartment. While he ate, I water the plants and tidied up the place. We turned on the AC unit... YEAH. We then went to pick up the nice thermos Isaiah let at the Tienmu Stadium when he went to watch the WaiChuan Dragons play. 

We were home by 3:30... YEAH... I had time to put things away and take a nap. I went down to check the recycling and then went to tutor. I went long and didn't get home until 8pm and I had to check the recycling again! 

Prayer time at 8:45... I didn't miss it... 

And I watched the TV series, The Mentalist before finishing my blog and checking my emails.

Tomorrow... MOE Day, so I gathered everything I need to bring, including a book that I hope to read. Who knows what I will be doing?!?!

Wednesday = Tutoring

I was up early and I did go out... but still... it was not enjoyable. I completed my 8km. I don't know if I will hit 48 for this week!

I took a quick shower and went down to do the recycling. We have so much stuff that one truck could not take everything this time. We have people who are moving in... and the boxes are labeled in English, so I think they are moving back from being in the States... I will find out... But they had at least 30 boxes and packing papers... and the lady said that this was just part I... AIYO!

I finished with helping and came back up and it was already 10am. I ate a good breakfast and started to organized my tutoring stuff... But 10:45 came too fast and I was out the door.

The 90 minutes flew by and I was on my way home, in the blaring heat... I had lunch and rested! That felt so good.

I was out the door again at 3:10 and tutoring again went well... 

I rushed home and switched stuff and left again for my last session at 6pm. 

I was so glad to be back home at 7:25!

The dining room table was still piled with my tutoring stuff that I had not finished organizing. I was pulling out books for my different students... July will be a busy month of tutoring!

Prayer time at 8:45 and I didn't forget!

Then it was back to sorting...  I have projects that I hope to finish this week... Plus, I have my ppt to get done! The day just went by way too fast... and it's already July 1st!

It's Too Hot...

I was up but not early enough. I need to go to bed before 9pm in order to get up by 3am, IF I want to beat the heat... And even then, it might be a MAYBE!

I ran 8km and just took it slow and steady.

I got back and our new janitor really was mopping the floor.

I put more stuff with the guard for pick up and then took a shower and rested!

Alan and I had lunch together, but first I mailed a letter, donated books and got things copied off for my tutoring! WOW!

After lunch I had a two hour massage and it was not long enough... ha, ha, ha... 

Tutoring at 3:30 and we went long... I rushed over to the farewell dinner... and it was sad to see my old friend and colleague, David. He really does have dementia... 

I rode back home and started packing the box and almost forgot completely to log in for prayer time at 8:45!

The box is packed and I have still more stuff... next shipment!

Isaiah went to a baseball game.

Alan had tutored and came home by 7:30.

I wanted to go to bed early... but no can do...

Too Hot

I was up early and it was not early enough... 

I went out too late for my run, so I only had time to run 6km. Plus, it was just too hot... no fun to run in that kind of heat!

A couple came over at 10:45 and hung out until 1:30! They wanted to talk as the husband will be assigned to work in Vietnam and he will be leaving tomorrow!

I then started cooking and rested before having to go to tutor... 

The time flew by and I came back home, only to exchange my bags. I had Bible study at 7PM. 

I made it right on time.

I didn't make it to prayer time at 8:45 as we were still in discussion...

I got home at 10 and yes, I had checked the recycling over the course of the day. We did get a new janitor. I have yet to meet this person.

Someone is moving into our complex, so there were lots of moving boxes... 

I got home, blogged and put away things... 

I was so glad for bedtime...

A Fast Sunday

I was up and even though I didn't go running, the morning went by so quickly!

I left at 11:45 to meet up with the parents of one of my students... they wanted to take Alan and I out for lunch. I ate so much... and it was so good. DuBu Tofu House... It's right at the Miramar Mall and I can't believe we've never tried it. All you can eat potato salad and kimchi!

I rushed over to church as tutoring started at 2pm. That went well... and then I went down stairs to help set up Love Cafe.

We had several friends who came to church and I translated... 

After the service, people hung out to talk and I prayed with a couple... 

The message was great: Ezra 9:5-9! Revival & Repentance!

I got home at 8pm and worked on the recycling area... wow... what a mess!

After blogging and then praying with another sister, I took a shower and just relaxed. The week has started!

Fast Saturday!

Even without tutoring the day flew by.

I had my morning time and then went for a quick 8km run... riding the scooter to the park and running...

I rushed back and didn't have time for a shower and headed off to pick up things from a lady... She had five bags of goodies for me...

On the way home, I stopped to get milk as I wanted to make cream of corn soup. Well... when I got home, the lady had given me so many goodies, that I didn't need to make soup.

I worked on the recycling as we still don't have a janitor... and did a load of wash... I had to change my running clothes quite often this week as most of the outfits got soaked.

Isaiah took off to meet up with Fenny... 

Alan and I went to Evergreen... after dropping off books at the local library... 

They had a love feast first and an old friend shared her testimony. The evening went by so quickly.

We got home by 9:30 and I worked on my ppt for July 5th and blogged...

It was so nice to go to bed... but I stayed up until after 12midnight in order to wish my older brother a Happy Birthday...

A Revived Run!

Yesterday's run was so horrible... I thought that was the end of my running... That was how bad it was. I came back from that run and that steam room feeling made me dizzy all day... I was incapacitated. 

Today... what a difference... It was raining... There was a breeze... Lots of puddles... I made 8KM and felt great!

Yes, I had my time with Jesus... and ran after Isaiah took off for work...

Alan and I then went out to lunch and we were at Carrefour... but Carrefour has been bought out by Uni-Food... WAHHHHHHH... RTMart has been bought out by PXMart... WAHHHHHHHH... I'm so sad.

We then went to help a friend DECLUTTER! I again came back with a trunk load of stuff... I posted everything and things are being picked up. The books I will drop off at the local library!

I was home and didn't rest...And since I didn't have tutoring, I had time to get things done! YEAH!

This evening prayer time at 8:45 and Family Time at 9:30! YEAH!

The weekend has started!

Lots of Rain

I was up and just felt so tired... plus the weather was quite weird... warm with a heavy down pour.

I sat and read after Isaiah took off.

At 12noon, I went out for my run and the rain had stopped. It was a miserable run! It was hot so it felt like I was running inside a sauna.

I came back and went to check the recycling area and to see who the 'new' guy was... only to find out that they sent back another guy which we had said that he was banned from coming back to our complex. So, I will make another formal complaint.

I spent the rest of the afternoon reading and resting... 

Tutoring cancelled as parts of Neihu is flooded... so I didn't want to be riding out there.

Alan and Isaiah went to play basketball at Soochow. It wasn't too bad there.

The rain is set to continue for another week... YIKES!

A Very Hot Day!

I was up and it was not early enough... but I pushed myself and went out... Ran 8KM... barely...

I got home and Isaiah took off for work and Alan had gone to play tennis.

After a quick shower, I put everything on the first floor as a guy was coming at 11am to pick up a few things. I gave away a Panasonic 10cup coffee maker, a thermomix and lots more... YEAH. I'm keeping to my give one thing away a day goal!

I went down to help with the recycling only to find out that they are going to find a replacement who will come tomorrow... I will see if the new janitor is any better.

I went back up and started cleaning our apartment and then Alan and I went out to meet up with a dear young man as we have been wanting to catch up with him and what he's been doing.

Oh... I didn't have my 11am tutoring so that's why I had time to go out for lunch. We got home at 1:30 and I took a nap... I was so sound asleep... I got up and it was GOD... because I could have been late for tutoring.

That hour went fast, but to be outside, riding... IT WAS SO BLARING HOT. I felt faint... that was how hot it was... 

I got home and everything was picked up! WOW...

The evening was great... very relaxing. Alan and I watched a cheesy fun movie: 27 Dresses... Those bridesmaid's dresses were so hilarious...  

I blogged and worked on my messages for July... 

Prayer time at 8:45 and the day was done!

A Very Long Day!

I was up early but did not get out for my run until 8:30. When I did go out, I saw Mom's van across the street, but not the same driver!

It was blaring hot... I almost did not finish... But I ran the 8KM... and had to rush to leave. I did not have time for a shower.

I arrived at 9:57 and set up. The other ladies were late... So... that worked out!

It was a great study... and we went until 2pm!

I then went to the old house as our friends said that there is a urine smell around the back balcony. I pour bleach and vinegar in different containers and will see that that will take away the smell...

I was back at church and had tutoring at 3:30. That went until 5pm and I got home at 5:45... yes, I did go a bit long... 

I was so hungry... and I wanted noodles...

While I waited for that to cook, I checked my emails and picked up more stuff that people left for me to give away. And yes, I also went and took a shower! SO REFRESHING!

Tutoring started at 7pm and we finished at 8:15. Our next time will be in person as he and his family will be in Taipei for the summer.

Prayer time at 8:45 and after that, I relaxed and watched a TV show on Netflix... my dear friend's account! She added me as one of the users... I am blessed!

I was up and it was just so hot... So, I rode the scooter down near the park and ran 8km.

It was difficult... the heat is tremendous!

I came back and took a shower and Isaiah took off.

Alan had gone to play tennis. He got back at around 10am and went to school to finish off his grades.

I went and did the recycling and kept the janitor on track. But I don't think he did much... Unless you're there, he just hides himself somewhere and gets on his cell phone!

Anyhow... I worked on my talk notes as I have three talks for the month of July! And increase in tutoring and the start of MOE!

I left at 1pm to run a few errands... yeah!

I had tutoring at 2pm and that went fast.

My 4:30 tutoring cancelled... so I had prayer time at 4pm.

That finished at 5pm and I spent the time to blog and check emails... and finished up inserting all the pictures into the album. Now, I need to write 'captions'... I love flipping through the pages...

At 6:30, I left for my evening Bible study. I have my morning Bible study at church tomorrow morning!

Back Home...

I was up early and had time with Jesus... and just hung around... Breakfast was at 8:30 and it was another delicious meal... 

We packed up and put our luggage out and went back to the restaurant to have our service. It was a beautiful simple service... 

We were all heading out by 12noon... 

Alan, Isaiah and I hiked up this hill... the rest of the group went to shop for ginger or fruit or peanuts... 

We found a nice restaurant on top of the hill and just sat and had a drink and hung out... before we took off back down and headed home.

The traffic wasn't too bad and we were home by 4:15.

I went down to the recycling and it was an absolute mess... 

I got more stuff to give away... We definitely have people moving out... 

I got back home and Alan made tuna fish and had a simple dinner with Isaiah.

I unpacked and just relaxed.

I went and picked up the rest of the pictures and finished the albums... now, I just need to write some comments... I hope to do that before the end of August!

The week looks to be a busy one...

Retreat & More...

I was up but missed the time to go run... So, I decided to run when we got to our retreat site!

I checked the recycling... and packed up stuff for people to pick up. And I'm happy to say that everything was picked up!

Alan went and played tennis... Isaiah did not! Alan came back early so that he can go to Costco and PXMart to buy snacks and drinks... 

At 12:15, we left for the retreat site with Isaiah driving. The traffic was not bad... amazing... and we got to Southern Miaoli by around 2:40 and walked around. We had stinky tofu and fried onion cakes and then checked in.

This is the ultimate GLAMPING... there are 10 campers and 20 tents... and the tents are luxurious... with AC and all the amenities... the bathrooms are outside of the tent... but you get your own bathroom. The campers have bathrooms. There are nice areas to sit and look out... Afternoon tea was delicious... and I went for a run... It wasn't so hot, but I had to run hills... I'm totally out of shape for running hills. I did only 8KM... finishing the week with 50KM... THANK YOU JESUS.

The dinner was amazing... TRULY AMAZING... and then at 8:15, we had our program. Worship led by Michael and then I did the short fun program. This retreat is called the 31:3 Retreat... Jeremiah 31:3.

The evening flew by... and even midnight snack was provided... 

I had taken a shower after my run... so, the rest of the evening was quite relaxing!

Tomorrow... breakfast at 8am!

And we won't be having our afternoon service. We will have our service in the morning... at the camp site!

I was home and checked on the recycling and took a shower.

Alan and Isaiah had gone to play tennis and I had planned on using the morning to get my photos organized for the third time... I had to redo again and again to get the photos in the right order and in the right book. I will get another 27 pictures made and I'll be finished...

Alan and Isaiah were home and after a simple lunch, we rested and headed out.

Baptism service at the river area near Alan's school... Wow... it was great. The weather was hot... and a lot of people showed up! It was a wonderful family time!

Alan, Isaiah and I stayed until 3:30 and went to have an early dinner... and we were so glad we did... we had parking and no wait at this great buffet hot pot place! It was about 10US$ per person... and we stayed until 6:10. Yes, there's a time limit!

We were completely stuffed... We got home at 7pm and we had prayer time at 8:45 and family time at 9pm. Then when I went down to check the recycling... wow... again, so much stuff that I posted to give away. People will be coming to pick up!

Isaiah and Alan took off for work and I made myself a cabbage salad for breakfast... YEAH!

Then it was reading and resting... seriously!

The morning went by so quickly.

I did run the washing machine on 'cleaning' mode... with baking soda and vinegar!

I put away a few things and yes, threw out a few things... and baked a delicious banana chocolate oatmeal bread! WOW... I had some with coffee...

Before the rain, I went and did some complex cleaning and then I left at 4:30 to pick up more pictures and a library book for Isaiah. I got to tutoring at 5:40 and went long again... 

I rushed home as prayer time was at 8:45.

Alan was already home... He had final oral exams that went long, so he didn't go play basketball.

After the prayer time, I had Bible study from 9-10pm!

A Very Long Wednesday

 I was up and out... and I had set the day to start training our complex janitor!

At 7:30, I went down and got the cart organized.

At 8am, we started... I walked him through his duty schedule... He had no idea... He tried to say he knew, but when I asked him, he never gave the right answers.

At 9:10, the recycling people came and we got everything into the truck!

Every half an hour, I would supervise what he was supposed to be doing... 

At 10:45, I had to go off to tutor... and when I came back at 1pm, I got him working... albeit very slowly!

I had to leave again at 3:00 and the rain had started! I made it safely and I was even early. The session went long... in fact, all my sessions went long today.

The rain had stopped, so I went and picked up the photos.

I was home with only five minutes to spare. I picked up what I needed for the next tutoring session and took off...

That hour went long as well... and I was finally home at 7:30!

I started to put the pictures into an album and realized that I had more pictures that need to be done... I think there are about another 100 pictures... WOW... I sent those off... and will most likely pick them up tomorrow...

Prayer time at 8:45 and when that was finished, I was ready for bed...

Blood Donation and More...

I was up early and with no rain, I was out and ran my 8KM.

After a shower, I put together more items that I had gathered for Annie. I put them into an empty suitcase. The stuff is multiplying!

I went and ate breakfast as they always ask... the people at the blood donation truck. And I don't lie... I weigh myself and I eat a good breakfast.

I was off and the first to be in line and donated blood. The gifts: tea bags, coffee coupon, a pair of socks, and a nice bag! Then I went and bought veggies at PXMart and the next place was at the photo studio. I got 122 pictures printed! 30US$! I have an empty album, so after I pick them up on Wednesday, I will start putting them into the album I've set aside!

I was home and it was already 12:30. I had a massage appointment at 1:15. I gathered things for tutoring and things to drop off at church and I was off again! 

The 90 minute massage was superb... and I rushed over, stopping to buy stinky tofu, to church!

Tutoring went well... and I was home by 6pm! 

The recycling needed work... tomorrow everything should be picked up!

I ate the stinky tofu with sauerkraut... YUMMY! That was my treat for dinner...

I was so tired... prayer time at 8:45.

Tomorrow... another full day of tutoring!

I started the crock pot after a shower... Mexican meat... I think it's going to be very delicious. I also started the iRobot going and posted more things to give away.

I took off at 9:50, first getting the recycling cleaned up!

Today was my once a month meeting with a dear sister. She always prepares a feast...and today was the same! 

I had to rush off at 12:45 as the AC guy was set to come at 1:30. He was 10 minutes late... which worked out perfectly!

I had to pull things out of our living room cabinet as the electrical panel is in there... He turned off the main switch and got started with the AC coolant... and tested the two units. They are fixed... He left and I got started with my prep for tutoring!

I left and checked the recycling and got to tutoring early... YIPPY! The hour and a half flew by... We had a mini party with snacks and drinks. Their complex has a 'coffee shop' with everything free... they will even make pancakes or waffles for you... or freshly brewed coffee... I had a Coca Cola... and I brought some snacks... 

I was home and Alan walked in soon after... He had dinner. I was too full with the snacks that I had while tutoring...

This evening, we had in person prayer time!

A Very Long Sunday

I was up early and knew that it would be a long day...

Even with no run, the day went on and on and on...

First, there was the Young Adults Fellowship... only three people! Very disappointing... but I just trust God with this...

And then I walked to our old house as I had picked up the remote and wanted to try it. Perfect... the AC unit in the living room works!

I ran back to church as tutoring was at 2pm. That went well... and when that was finished, I had the Love Cafe set up... and service started soon after that...

Alan spoke and Isaiah translated... 

For Love Feast, we had tong-tzi. Since people just brought them home, we were cleaning up by 7pm! I was home by 7:30 and the recycling was... well... it was what it was... More stuff to post to give away!

The lady had come to pick up three huge bags of bedding while we were at church. And another guy came to get pots and pans... one more lady came at 9:30 to pick up another pile... I had one no show... exercise stuff... I'll post those items again!

I tested a small sewing machine and it works great... I will keep that as it's lighter and easier to get out than the old ones that I have...

I also tested these plate warmer... quite interesting.

Alan was in bed by 8pm and I had prayer time at 9pm. I was in bed soon after that... 

There is forecast for rain... yippee!

A Free Saturday? Sort Of...

I was up and did run my usual 8KM... No rain... partly cloudy... warmer than the day before...

After a shower, I went down and there were things to give away from the recycling pile... LOTS OF THINGS... 

I then called the AC guy and he will be coming on Monday afternoon... 

Alan headed out for Soochow's graduation ceremony... and I headed out to trim a friend's hair... She prepared a scrumptious lunch for me... 

I stayed until 4pm and drove home... And there were more things left for me to give away... One guy already came to pick up a huge bag... and another guy came and picked up two more bags... I tested several things, including a mite vacuum for sofas and mattresses and a sewing machine... a mini one... Which I think I will keep... if it works.

I went and picked up Isaiah's books that he reserved at the local library and I also paid a bill and bought some bread... 

The rest of the evening was spent at home... So nice!

AC Unit Installed...

I was up and just so happy to see the clouds...

The run was warm as it did not rain... nor did it drizzle... but it was pleasantly cloudy! No turtle... but lots of birds... they just mowed this huge patch of lawn and the birds were enjoying a feast!

I was home and after a shower, went down to put things for pick up... two computer cases and a remote control car! They were promptly picked up!

Alan and I had a nice brunch and didn't do much more... the AC guys were to come at 3pm to the old house. It was good to nap... 

He went to the old house and I went to tutor at 4pm! And only one kid needed tutoring, so I was home early.

Alan had sent photos... it's a very nice AC unit! YEAH!

We had dinner together... he bought KFC... 

Prayer at 8:45 and I spent the rest of the evening packing up things to give away! YEAH!

I Love PR Days!

I was up and it was fairly cool... at least it was cloudy. I ran my usual 8KM. And, thank you Annie for asking: I will run longer when the weather gets cooler... like in November! Now, I just try to run 50KM a week!

I was back and Isaiah and Alan took off... and I ate my breakfast... not as scrumptious as in Germany or Switzerland... 

I put a load of clothes in the washer and it was finished in 25 minutes. Most of it went into the dryer and the rest I hung up!

I plopped myself on the sofa and read... and dozed off...

At 12:30, I went and ran errands, which took longer than I expected! I wasn't back until 2pm. But I got everything done and bought!

I had lunch and ate two Milky Way bars for fun... 

The rest of the afternoon went by nicely... and at 5pm I headed out for tutoring. The weather was brilliant... At church, I cleaned up the games that we had left, put away things, including the coffee pot that I brought home to clean... and tutoring went well... of course, we went late again, so I didn't get home until almost 8PM.

I had time to put things away before prayer time started at 8:45. And then Family Time at 9:30.

I love PR Days!
