Birthday Monday!

I was up early and the skies were cloudy... I thought the run would be cooler... but it was actually quite muggy. The wind didn't start. The rain didn't start... They started after I was finished!

I came back and took a shower.

It is Alan's 67th birthday... He went off to play tennis and when the rain started, he came home!

I spent part of the morning reading and then started organizing the food pantry. What a massive task! And it was a bit sad as I found many items that I had been saving for Mom... pure blueberry juice... lots of cartons of supra... cookies... wheat grass... Why didn't I just give her these things to enjoy? Truly... don't save those nice items... Use them!

And that's what I did... I put them out and we will enjoy them... 

And at 1pm, Alan and I went for a nice hour long massage... 

When we came back home, he took a nap while I pushed through to finish the task I had started this morning.

I then had some time to read before we headed out to Selfish Burger for dinner with Isaiah and Fenny and one of Alan's students, Jasmine. We also picked a dessert place right around the area... Shaved ice... Mango snow ice and I had the taro snow ice... it was delicious! 

What a great celebration!

Fast Sunday!

I was up early and went out to run errands and then had our HOP monthly Prayer Time at 8am. The hour flew by... 

I then got ready and headed out to my friend's new house. She's the gal who used to live in our Danhsui house. I helped her design the interior of her house and now she needed some extra tips, like where to hang her paintings and how to organize her place. I got there and we had coffee and breakfast and got to work. It was a very productive morning. 

I scootered home and was back by 1:30 and took a 45 minute Power Nap! We were out the door by 2:20! And yes, when I got back, I checked the recycling area!

Church went well... We had a few newcomers and the dinner was delicious!

We dropped Fenny home and after we got home, I again checked on the recycling!

The rest of the evening flew by...

Fun & Fast Saturday

I was up early... and ran my 10K, finishing the week with a little over 60K... And yes, it was hot and humid, but there were clouds in the sky... 

I was home and I didn't have to rush off to my friend's house to clean... so I rested and read! Delightful!

The morning passed quickly and we went off to pick Fenny up for our afternoon tea at the Fundamentals. The buffet was great and the place was not crowded. The food was delicious and the music was soothing. After stuffing ourselves, we went over to buy movie tickets... NOPE... long lines and pretty much sold out... We will have to catch the movie on another day. But they had the Non-Stop K Pop Dancing Competition and we stayed for that.

We didn't get home until almost 9pm! 

It was a fun day...

Celebration Has Started!

I was up early and ran my 10K... barely... I should say... I trotted!

After a quick shower, I was out the door... and headed to the MOE and got there early!

I ate my breakfast of cream cheese and raisin bagel... So yummy!

I did the research and got my Garmin watch switched... and then listen to a few podcasts and headed out to meet up with my student from Shanghai who is here in Taipei. I had so many books for him... and summer writing assignments!

I got back to the office just in time for my student! YIPPY!

When that was finished, I watched the Women's Murder Club and read the news! 

Another great day at the MOE!

At 5:20, I headed out to meet up with friends and Alan and Isaiah and Fenny for dinner at Alan's favorite restaurant. He bought CoCO drinks and we had a great time!

On the way home, I dropped off toilet scrubbers for a friend! 

And when I arrived home, the recycling area was... horrible! I had not been home the whole day... I also went to look at furniture that people discarded. 

The weekend has started... and it's going to be a fun one!

A Mixed Sabbath Thursday!

I was up early and yes... I ran... one kilometer at a time... and made it to 10K.

I was home and took a quick shower and was off to my friend's house. The mover was there... what a wonderful young man... hardworking! Pieces were moved and I talked to the landlord and prayed with him. He needs Jesus. We were finished by 10:15 and I headed back after running a few errands... 

I ate a light meal and headed out again. I had to mail back our handicapped parking permit and drop off donation to this old man who sells things. And I was again home by 1:30. 

Alan had the AC on and it felt so good... I started my Sabbath!!!!!! After putting in a load of laundry!

I didn't have to tutor this evening, so it was wonderful to have the rest of the day to REST!

Eddie bought his ticket for the States and will be there from July 12-22nd. Annie will now check about Greenhills if we can do the graveside thing on July 19th, Saturday. Yes, that's the day after I get there... I don't think Isaiah and I will be too jet lagged... especially if we do it in the morning... It's usually at 4pm that I start to feel like taking a nap. Of course, back in March and April, I never had jet lagged... I landed running... so to speak.

Another Go-Go-Go Wednesday

I was up early... but again, not early enough... The truth is... you can't beat the heat no matter how early you get up! That's just the truth... I think it will continue until October!

I went and ran my 10k. And the mentality these days is: I'll run 5K... and then just keep going!

I was home and took a shower and went down to do the recycling. Everything was picked up! But it took quite a bit of time!

Then I called to order the boxes for the Philippines and proceed to gather all the stuff I had gathered for donation! What a pile!

I called for movers as a friend will take some of the items. And the movers will be at my friend's house tomorrow, which means I will go there to meet up with them and open the door... and that will be the final time that I will go over there! YEAH! The job is done!

By then, it was almost time to go meet up with a friend for lunch... 

The food at the restaurant was super expensive. I won't be going there again. And it was way too loud to have a decent conversation.

I was home by 3:00 and started to pack up things that I had already purchased. Four suitcases are done... Alan has one more and Isaiah and I have one more... that's it. I still have to order pineapple cakes! YIKES!

I rushed to tutoring and made it there by 4:33! YEAH!

The hour went by and no tutoring for a whole month... 

We had counseling at 7:30, so I made a shrimp salad for dinner!

The day went by so quickly!

Yet Another MOE Day

I was up early and only ran 9K... yes... it was that hot!

I came home and took a shower and got everything ready and took off for the MOE!

I was there early and ate my breakfast!

Nothing to edit, but I had students come... and that always make the day go by so much faster.

I finished my Revelation study homework. I read the news. I watched organizing YouTube videos... and the day was done!

I didn't go home... I had Bible study at 7pm. So, I stayed at work late and went straight to Bible study. We started on the book Heaven by Randy Alcorn. It was a great beginning.

I was home by 9:45 and the recycling was an absolute mess! I got that organized and came up to blog and check my email!

Tomorrow... I have many things on my list to get done!
