The Day Kept Running... Without Me...

I went early to get my 9k in... 

Then it was Mom Care. I had to touch-up on her hair as I missed a few spots... and of course, there is always the BM to take care of.

After she took off, it was the recycling again... every Wednesday.

I got home and cleaned up her room, reorganizing her drawers as I had to get the summer and winter clothes switched. I also took down the clothes that were dried and put another load in of Mom's stuff!

I had lunch and got everything ready for my Bible study as I wanted to go early to start the cinnamon rolls, using an air fryer! What a fun time we had! This was our last time and I had made up a review worksheet!

I rushed home to meet up with the management supervisor as we needed to clear out junk from this storage area. There were boxes of old paperwork. I couldn't decide on those. I wanted to trash them, but I better not! So, we just worked on stuff that was junk! It was a very productive hour.

The helper came and I went out to get Chinese medicine and do a quick workout at WGE. It was very quick.

When I got home, I got corralled in the elevator because some of the residents wanted to ask about the new safety doors that we have installed... And there were meeting notes that I had to sign... Yes, I'm counting down to December!!!!!!!

I got Mom to bed and sat and watched one episode of Poirot. 

Prayer time at 9pm. When that was finished, I was so ready for bed!

Here is one of the questions from today's review worksheet:

What are some common hindrances to prayer?

 

Some common hindrances to prayer are…

And I asked them to memorize a verse that will help build their prayer life. Here are a few of their choices:

An Unexpected Gift... A Free Tuesday!

I was out early for my 9k... and then had a quick shower!

I wanted to trim Mom's hair, so I got her up earlier than usual!

She went off and I started on my Bible study homework. Finished it! 

Alan had gone to see Isaiah's softball tournament, which was right at the park where I run... Isaiah won their first game! Alan went off to school.

I finished my talk notes and my ppt for Sunday.

Then after lunch, I got a call... Isaiah was in an ambulance being sent to the ER. He ran into another guy! I scootered over... He only needed stitches! They thought it was more serious because he was very dizzy! It turned out the cause of that was not a concussion, but because he didn't eat and the heat got to him! He came home and took a shower and went back to work!

I had a few errands to run, but I decided to wait until tomorrow as I don't have to tutor tomorrow! I did stop by WGE for just 10 minutes!

I had dinner ready for her... after she went to bed, I worked on putting together the dessert for tomorrow's Bible study at Soochow. It will be our last time for this semester... and that's the end of another school year. I am pretty sure they will ask me to lead this again next school year!

Time Grew Wings...

I was up early and went out for my 9k as I saw the weather report... HOT!

I did a load of laundry before heading out.

After Mom left, I called and Ms. Hsieh had time. I went over to get a massage. But when I went down to the scooter, the cleaning guy had 'finished' sorting through the recycling. He came to work at 8am and it was 9:11 and the recycling was still a mess! I had to walk him through the task, which made me late for my appointment!

Those 90 minutes flew by. I scootered home as I had to prep for my tutoring and work on my ppt and my Wednesday study!

Tutoring went well. I stopped at WGE and also stopped to buy soy bean milk before heading home. 

Yes, it was already time for Mom to be back!

Tonight, we had Family Time...

What A Sunday!

Yes, I was up early and headed out as I went over to help a friend with her newly purchased home. This time, it was the inspection! Well... the bathroom sliding door is a NO WAY... that bathroom is so small and they had things in place that made it impossible to install a glass door between the shower and the rest of the bathroom. We are figuring out a few ideas!

I stopped at WGE and did a dreadmill work before taking a shower and heading home!

Mom care... and did a few housework!

We headed out for church at 2:15 as we always help with set-up as well as clean-up after the service.

After Mom went to bed, I blogged and got ready for the week... 

Daily Lovely Insight:

Today's message was on Thomas... so... the question is: why wasn't Thomas there when Jesus showed up? He was one of the disciples and gathered with them... so why wasn't he there?

What do you think?

Perhaps that will give you new insights as you read about his request and unbelief!

Seek Him First!

The Day Flew By

I was up early... and went out at 7:45 for my run! I am trying to run less, but run faster. So, I was able to do 10k in 63 minutes! A year ago, I was able to run 10k in 58 minutes! I have not been training for running faster, but I think I'll start again!

I went to WGE and took a fast shower. I also stopped to buy bread.

Mom Care!

Isaiah went to his small group and then to a Fubon Bank Event. For the rest of the afternoon and evening, he met up with a friend!

I had counseling at 2:30 and then we went over to help babysit for a couple so that they can go on for a date! I truly enjoy serving in this way. I pray as I care for the sweet baby and I help to tidy up the house! The three hours flew by.

A Great Date!

I ran early as the weather says that it was going to be hot... 

After Mom went off to the Day Care, I started to tidy up the room as I had to change the sheet!

Alan came home early... what a nice surprise, so we were off earlier than planned!

I had heard about Keelung Harbor Night Market, which has a few famous food stalls. These stalls are opened by 11am.  We bought three sandwiches, 15 mini sausages, super sized bubble milk tea in several flavors, then ate at an outdoor mall, looking at Keelung Harbor.

After lunch, we found a traditional acupressure massage place and enjoyed two hours of bliss. Alan was snoring!

We strolled back to the night market and found fried onion cakes... they were so delicious. We finished them on the drive home! Alan stopped at WGE and I did a quick workout before going home.

We will definitely go back to Keelung again... maybe when Abby is back in Taiwan!

This advisor had a real problem... he put his identity and worth all on how people valued his counsel. And when that failed... You can read what he did!

What does this say to you about where you should put your worth and identity?

Another Delightful Sabbath!

I was up early and the weather was cool... which meant I didn't have to go out right after my time with Jesus.

I went for a run after Mom left for the Day Care Center. 9km in less than an hour... the weather was nice!

I decided to trim my hair and took a shower at home, then I went to RT Mart... The 14th floor is remodeling their bathrooms and the noise was a bit disturbing. So, I scootered over and had lunch there and bought a few items. I even stopped at Costco and bought milk. We were running low. So, I won't have to go this weekend! YEAH!

I was home and took a nap. I was going to go to WGE but decided just to sit and read. The pounding had stopped. So, I guess they have finished taking off the tiles and the toilet.

Alan came home to pick up basketball clothes for Isaiah. They will be at SooChow University.

Mom came home right on time. I had dinner ready!

I had to put her to bed before 7pm as we had our complex meeting at 7:30! I'm counting down the months... 

I made muffins for the board members with fresh whipped cream!
