OYB!

Español!

Reconfirmed details on a team coming in June.

Preach.

Good talk with my buddy Anthony.

Cleaned the area near my toilet. It was hideous.

Wrote checks.

K is having troubles with the audio on her iPhone 11 Pro Max. I took it to Ubreakifix in Snellville. They told me that it wasn’t a speaker problem, it was an issue with the audio chip on the motherboard. They told me that normally people replace it at this point. I agreed. Got K an iPhone 14 Pro Max that is in excellent shape from Back Market for under $500.

This is the one I’m getting her.

Just keep going.

Listened to Don Cheto.

Watered my downstairs plants.

Avatar is such a beautiful game.

OYB!

Español!

Warm and damp.

K’s iPhone has hardly any volume. I tried everything I could think of to fix it. Finally made a reservation at the Apple Store to have it looked at. K said it suddenly “dinged” and seemed to start working again. I won’t cancel the reservation until Sunday IF it continues to work.

Talked to Pastor Bill about setting up The Show on Sunday. I figured I’d get the iPhone looked at and then do the other assignment. If the iPhone continues to function, I probably won’t set up until Monday morning.

Didn’t know this word. You?

Took my Mom to have her hair and nails done. I didn’t help her with that last week because I worked all weekend. She was so happy to feel made up.

I snickered at this.

Strong competition for third this week.

I’m feeling better but still coughing and tired.

Avatar is a beautiful game! Always trying to learn more about it.

With all the storms we been having, the electricity has been fluctuating a lot. I just reset this clock again.

Looking forward too seeing this soon.

J and K both use these for their medicine.

I’ve backed off a lot from posting on social media. The responses would aggravate me or make me not want to be friends with people any longer. I’ve certainly NOT seen it help my business either.

I’m still not sure how this kind of phenomena can happen. Pink sky with double rainbows in front of you with a sunset?

K and I are going to Clayton, GA next week. I’m doing research for the trip.

OYB!

Español!

I think this is interesting, but I doubt I’ll do it.

Did laundry.

I do a lot of logistic management.

Went to my office to get the copies made. K helped me stuff envelopes. I already had everything else done. Got them in the mail. Always great to get that job knocked out.

Picked up the girls at Azalea. Last day of school! I was planning to do something special for the kids, but ran out of time and energy. Still not feeling great. Everly was tired too.

Cleaned out the fridge at FBCD. Tossed a few things and took other stuff to Ash and home. Let the Pastor know.

I was planning on setting up for the team on Monday, but decided not to because there’s a women’s meeting in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday. I’ll put out the other stuff early on Monday.

I’ll probably come in fourth place this week.

I had a better night’s sleep last night. No chills and fever, so that’s an improvement. Still don’t feel well.

Always trying to get my logistics fix.

While I was checking the calendar, I noticed that I have a team on Monday! What!? It’s a women’s team from a shelter. K and I are planning on getting out of town for a few nights. I was thinking Monday, but it looks like T/W/Th will be better. Good thing I checked!

I’ve enjoyed playing Avatar. Such a beautiful game.

OYB!

Ordered groceries.

Español!

I got gas and checked the oil in the Lincoln.

Don Cheto!

Wrote and produced my newsletter. Printed my master copies. I’ll make b/w photocopies at the office tomorrow before we pick up the kids.

Keep going.

I had chills and fever again last night. That’s not zesty. I’ve been resting all day and studying Spanish. Watched Avatar. I’ve been playing the game, it’s cool to see the movie. I have two more left to watch.

Prayed for the team this morning as they’re going back to Birmingham, AL.

Everly was part of the graduation program at her school.

I’ll help K with this.

OYB!

Even though these teams take a lot out of me physically, it’s a boon financially. I think $30/person/day is super cheap.

Next team is in June.

K got me Chinese for lunch. I appreciated her thinking about me.

I don’t know why these teams leave all this stuff. My guess is they think they’re doing me a favor. Just one more job to do is the way I see it. I just hope it’s not very heavy. That’s what keeps hurting my arm.

I did a lot of coughing last night and I felt hot and then super cold. I knew this was going to be a challenging day. I’m not sick very often. I have plenty of injuries, but not sick.

OYB!

Got to the church, set up and studied Español. Came in first place last week.

Very cloudy and mild.

I took the team to Fuji Buffet at Plaza Fiesta. It was my first time with a group there. Worked out really well.

Cleaned up my area of the fellowship hall. The team will do the rest for me.

Don Cheto.

Edited the video, posted it on YouTube and sent Josh the Thank You letter. That marks the team complete for me.

Even though I felt terrible, I did my best for the team. After our Dedication Day, I took them to Fuji Buffet.

I hoped to take group shots and go to the Missions but just felt sick.

I watched a show about Spanish films. Always looking for something interesting.

OYB!

Got to the church at 8:38 am. Fine tuned the Show and studied Español.

After my presentation on Buddhism and Hinduism, the team and I were part of the Pentecost Sunday program at FBC Doraville. I went into full Rabbi Mode.

Double checked and sent the address to the restaurant to the drivers.

Hard to believe he’s 95!

I’ll give this little note to the team tomorrow.

Listened to Don Cheto during my travel time.

Fixed my kurta. A seam had come loose. Looks like it had gotten caught on something. I sewed it all back up. It was probably about a 2 foot rip. Ouch.

I’ll come in first place.

I thought it was good service. It ran long. As everyone expected.

Several pastors participated.

Took the team to eat at Pho 24.

We had an interesting time at China Town and Asian Square.

They did a great job in spite of heavy rain.

I worked on the Pentecost Sunday program.

OYB!

Got to FBCD early to set up and study.

Mild and rainy. It didn’t really bother the teams. Amen.

I was in touch with the restaurant manager. We got there a little early.

I hope they find it.

Al Madina is always interesting.

Listened to Don Cheto on the way home. Trip was super fast.

Don’t stop.

Pastor Bill made an appearance with the team.

Had a great time with them.

Good day.

Español! Vocabulario!

OYB!

Mild with torrential rain on the way home.

Got to the church early to finish setting up and study Español.

Listened to Don Cheto while driving in terrible traffic.

I had a great time with my team from N Highlands BC, Birmingham, AL today.

Great time.

Got an early start on getting the orders to the restaurant managers.

OYB!

Español!

Scheduling and delegating.

Sprinkles.

Communication is key.

When this front blows through, we’re expecting rain.

This is the first year when I really remember smelling the gardenias while I’m on the front porch.

Did the laundry. Wanted to get a fresh start with the team coming tomorrow.

I had some errands to run, so left instructions on the door for Nana’s PT therapist. He came before I left so I didn’t really need these cards.

Got fried rice.

Went to the Post Office to get stamps. They told me that tomorrow they’re going up to .82/stamp. That seems high.

This is a common scenario. Pouring down rain and nothing beside it.

I’d like to have good weather for the teams, but we need the rain.

Old people medicine.

I’ve really enjoyed playing Pandora. It’s a beautiful game. The bioluminescence is super cool in it.

Printed the labels for the newsletters.

Keep going.
