Dear Family and Friends,
Since Nan died weekends are terrible to endure. When Moon was here with me then the weekends became a joy again, a time to just be together and travel, dine out and shop but with her back at her home today has been rough.
I woke feeling strange, checked my heart rate and found out it was resting at about 90. Since it is normally 55 I knew I was in trouble. I tried a walk but it shot up to 133 and more so I came home for breakfast, more water and eventually went to church, driving with a rate of about 112. Problem is when I have this problem the heart rate jumps all over the place, it can jump from 50 to 150 in a second, my phone lets me check it and today all day it was not good, even now its not perfect.
At church I found the mens group with many of the men that used to be in Adoration Singers, the sound was great and I enjoy listening very much but I had to leave before they were through as I was meeting Bob in Stockton at 12:30 for lunch.
We had a good lunch but I was uneasy due to my heart. I also just miss Moon so much, she is a real enjoyable woman to be with and having her so far away is just rough to cope with. She is wonderful about calling, texting, sending photos, no problem there but I just don't like to have her so far away all the time, its my problem not hers.
Today Gucci, the little precious doggie went to have her nails clipped and to have a bath to try to get rid of the fleas she picked up at my house. that certainly does not make me happy to have caused her to take them back home with her. Tonight I purchased some powder to put on my carpets and two flea collars for my kitties to try to deal with the flea issue at this end, I hope Moon will come back again and I know I need to make some changes here before she will be willing to come visit again or even consider living here someday!
I know God is good, my heart problems give me concern but like Moon said today she too has heart problems sometimes that sort of stop her in her tracks. Funny once I talked to her about my heart then the rate started slowing down until it is nearly normal tonight.
Sending love to all,
Tim

Back
Good evening,
Well Moon is back in Houston, I am working night and day to catch up after being ill and life is very good. Moon and I talk several times every day and today we've been working on getting an allergy to water and soap she has in her fingers dealt with. I located a Chinese doctor and she went this afternoon, he was not that impressive but did prescribe some high power cream and pills that should give her some help. The pills make her very sleepy so she went to bed much earlier than normal tonight, tired and exhausted but hopefully ready to feel better tomorrow.
I've been busy see properties and setting up new orders. I'm so thankful for the many blessings I receive daily, safety as I drive, mostly friendly people in the homes I inspect and regular payment either by direct deposit or through the mail.
When Moon was here for a few days I had hoped that work would slow down so we could do many things together. We ended up doing many things but I was also very busy and spent many late hours writing up things while she talked to her family in Singapore. Her father is not well and she comforts and encouraged your mom every day as well as counsels her daughter who is young and works very hard at three jobs.
Moon is a beautiful woman and a very hard worker, she really knows her way around the beauty business and knows what colors match, what fabrics to wear, how to wear makeup without it looking cheap. Just very skilled and that is her training in Singapore.
Its sort of fun to be in the mall with her and to see both men and women take a second look thinking they are seeing someone famous when she walks by.
Tonight I'm sending love to all,
God is good and all the time,
Tim

Checking in
Good evening,
Just back from a late afternoon and evening trip to Westfield Mall, at least I think that is the name. Moon and I went to a few stores we both like and ate in the food mall. Our trip included Gucci, a little ten pound beautiful doggie that flew here with her from Houston, I have become very attached to the precious little dog, since Moon talks to her family in the middle of the night in Singapore she rises really late in the morning so Gucci and I go to the park on our morning walk and she sits in my lap as I work at the computer. I will miss her and her mommy too when they leave mid day on Monday. I'd like to report our visit has been all pleasant, it has not been pleasant. I've been sick with some fever, a constant cough and a lot of flu symptoms and two rounds of Antibiotics did not solve the problem so now I'm on a stiffer kind that in the past has solved the problem and helped me get well. Moon has not felt good the first week she was here either but we both are doing better now.
I've taken a lot of time away from my work and it has suffered a lot, so once she flies home I plan to hit work hard and heavy to try to calm down my clients who are upset about delays. How I would like to have a normal life with Moon or someone like here living here all the time, its so nice to know someone is there at home when my work day comes to an end. Moon is a very bright woman, has huge skills in the beauty and fashion world and always looks great when we go out into the public. But I like the way she looks before all the work goes into the makeup. Either way she is an incredible woman and has faced many challenges in her life up to this point. Its hard for her to trust anyone because of what she has experienced in the past.
She is very trustworthy and keeps her word, gives good advice and is a great partner in life. Yet we both are early in this relationship and sort of figuring out our way, both have adult lives and many differences between us. We both pray and know God will guide us.
will you pray for us, that God's will be done for the future.
Love to all,
Tim

Moon landing
Good evening,
Just had a very nice email from Barbara Lammerding, a friend that goes way back, she was once the secretary at Central SDA Church, a beautiful church constructed near downtown Sacramento. Nan and I came there from seminary to work as the youth minister and Nikki was born shortly after we arrived. Barbara and Gerry had two boys in the youth group, Dennis and Michael and she helped me more than any other person figure out how to be an effective youth minister while there. Over the years Barbara and Gerry came to visit us here in Discovery Bay many times, Gerry helped me build decks, he drew up the plans for the home I live in now, he would come and clean the garage while Barbara cleaned the sinks and make the house sparkle. They were a huge help once Nan became ill and were frequent guests which Nan looked forward to so much. So hearing from her is always very special, she is one of those people that I think God could just take directly to heaven when she passes, her heart is pure and after living with Gerry who was a character she earned her sainthood I'm pretty sure.
After putting up with my being gone all the time and working late hours without complaining I took Moon out this evening to a pretty tasty place in Brentwood for Asian food, then we rushed to the movies to see an incredibly good movie, the Choice. It is really an amazing story and you just stayed glued to your seat the entire time, wow, we both enjoyed it a lot. Now she is removing her makeup, you need to understand we all have things that we feel strongly about, for me it is my work and getting appraisals completed and delivered. For Moon she is a professional at putting on makeup and doing her hair, once she is completed its like a work of art and she sees no one by me until she has the make up in place.
Tomorrow I think we are going to venture to San Francisco, see the Golden Gate bridge and the Muir Redwoods, Jessy sent me a link so I can find the place. I told Moon that tomorrow is a day I do not work and she seems happy we can spend it together.
I've enjoyed having Gucci here, its her little 10 pound doggie and she is a real sweetheart, in the morning I take her out to the front yard and she explores and does her business, no barking, just a very sweet doggie.
Well its time to rest now, sending love to all

Life
So frustrated right now, my friend is here but so far our time together has not been good. Just when she arrived suddenly many orders came rushing in and I've been buried with work, meanwhile I have this wonderful guest that I can hardly spend any time with. She knows I need to work but she is still not happy. She talks to her friends in Houston and her family in Singapore so that helps a lot but still I could wish for a bit more time to spend with her and show her fun places in the area.
Please pray that God will guide in our lives.
Sending love to all
