A Tiring Saturday!

I was up early... and went back for more sleep... I think I'm still catching up on the night that I didn't sleep much!

I was out for my 11k, hitting 60K for this week! YIPPY!

I went to WGE for a shower and came home for my breakfast! YUMMY!

I had to do a load of laundry with Mom's stuff... AIYO! 

She enjoyed her sesame paste breakfast... and her porridge lunch and her veggies with chicken poppers dinner! Yes, she's eating well...

Isaiah went out with Fenny so he was gone the whole day.

I was cleaning house and at around 3pm, I asked Alan to watch Mom so that I can lay down. I was so tired!

Tonight we had our Marriage Builders Thanksgiving Dinner Date. It was a small group of four couples. A helper came to care for Mom!

A Good Friday!

I was up early... and went back to sleep as Mom was so active last night. She talked and talked and talked from 2am to 5:30am. We all did not sleep well! Even with the door closed, we could hear her!

I went out for my run after Mom went into the van. I took my shower at WGE and Alan came to pick me up.

We went to drop off a gift and then had lunch at this great breakfast shop!

We decided to go to Costco and they had pumpkin pie! We bought two and ordered three more!

We were home by 3:30 and after putting everything away, I took a Power Nap and headed to tutor! I was five minutes late.

The sessions went well... and I was home at 7:30 and Mom was active. She was driving both Alan and Isaiah crazy, trying to get up, walking on her own. But that's too dangerous as she can fall. 

I ate quickly and got Mom to bed.

Good news: the gal staying at our old house will move out on 11/15. Pray that this will really happen! Then the elderly messy couple will be moving out at the end of December. I will go in and start cleaning as soon as the gal leaves.

A Much Needed Blessed Sabbath!

I was up early and just felt so good... no typhoon day... 

I got Mom up and out and set up my little table, made fresh coffee in the old percolator and just parked myself on the sofa.

At lunch time, I had a delicious lunch of leftover... and rested.

Finally at 2:40, I went out and ran 10k. Then headed to WGE for a shower as the water pressure is still having problems. I was home by 5pm and Mom care.

Tonight we did not have Family Time after my tutoring because Abby is on her way to Houston, transiting to LAX and then driving up with Corenne and Bella to Oregon. I think that's the plan!

I forgot to upload pictures from yesterday's Duck Luncheon. Annie, when you come, we might need to splurge if you love duck like I love duck.

US Election Results & Duck Luncheon!

I was up early but not early enough. With the nicer cooler weather, I have been wanting to run longer... So now, I don't go immediately... I can actually wait until after Mom leaves... 

And that's what I did... I ran 12.7K and felt really good.

I was home and headed to WGE for a shower as our water pressure was weird!

Then I had a feast with a friend, who treated me to duck! I love duck. I love lamb. And she always gives me all the leftover!

I was home and got everything ready for tutoring. I took a Power Nap!

And tutoring well... 

I was home and got Mom to bed and had tutoring at 7:30.

By 10pm, I was tired.

Tomorrow is my Sabbath! And no typhoon day... YIPPY!

As of the time of this blog, the States could not announce a definitive winner even though it looked like Trump won! I'm not sure what's going on!

Cooler Tuesday!

I was up and ran my 8k. It was cool, but not cold!

Then, Mom Care. She was hyper... singing and talking... 

After she left, I cleaned up and went to my morning Bible study! YEAH! Everyone came!

We had a feast.

I had called in the morning about getting a massage and she was available. So, off I went for a 90 minute massage. Annie will have a chance to enjoy... hopefully, the first day that she arrives as the vacation starts and no one will be working!

I paid a few bills and got home by 3:15. I will stop at WGE after my evening Bible study as I had too much stuff with me! I put everything away and got started with 'work'!

Mom was back and after she finished her dinner and I put her to bed, I headed out for my evening Bible study!

Another Catch-Up Monday!

I was up super early as the boys were up at 2am for the Chargers game. They won! I am not sure what the score was...

I went out for my 8k and the weather was actually warm!

Then it was a quick shower before getting Mom up.

And Annie got her ticket to come during the Chinese New Year break: 

January 24th to February 3rd! Those are the dates when Mom has no day care. Isaiah also has his break! Alan will be in the States! James and Eddie are considering if they will be dropping in.

After Mom left, I was checking the recycling and making sure that the cleaning lady was on task.

I prayed with Alan and he left and I sat down to work!

The morning went by too quickly. I was out the door by 1:37 to tutor!

Tutoring always goes by so quickly and I always go long! I was home by 4pm and sat down again to get things done before Mom came home.

Tonight, I had a phone call with our pastor and then prayer time with two sisters.

I also made egg salad for sandwiches for my Bible study tomorrow morning. At least I don't have Soochow Study, or else it would be a triple study day!

A Super Sunday...

I was up early and went out to get some errands done plus a stop at WGE.

I also took down the clothes and put everything away.

Isaiah and Alan went to play tennis.

I got Mom up and she ate her sesame paste breakfast.

At church I gave her snacks, too!

I didn't have to translate. It was nice!

I helped with set up and I brought dragon fruit for everyone to enjoy! Two other sisters brought snacks. So, again we had an abundance of goodies!

After Mom went to bed, I checked the recycling and had prayer time with another sister. Then I worked on my talk for November 17th.

I was so ready for bed...
