My family and I created the third garden box and filled it with the garden soil. I always feel good working outside. And every time when we work something outdoor, I feel the energy from my late dad-in-law with us. I am sure he is enjoying working with us and protecting us from any injuries. Thank you dad.

Something small made me smile this morning. Somebody brought our trash bin back from the street to our original place after the trash service track collected our trash.

Actually this is the third time. I honestly don’t know who did this for us. I cannot think about any neighbors who is willing to help others and don’t take the reward without informing us. Thank you for a person or an angel to help us out.

Our internet connection was out all day long. Luckily I had a hotspot checked out from the library so that my daughter kept on submitting her school assignments. We have had contracted with our local internet provider for eight years since we moved in this house. We soon noticed their internet connection is not constant. We put up with them because we are reluctant with going through the procedure with a new provider. I saw many people left a negative feedback about this company. I hope the business owner will read these people’s feedback and correct their issues soon.

I totally forgot about the local organic store. I used to come to store for shopping frequently several years ago, then I stopped going there. Today for some reasons I was thinking about the store so that I went to the store. The people and the items in the store seemed like all the same. I was delighted to see their locally organic grown produces. I should resume shopping at this store for their fresh produces.

I woke up the clear memory of my dream. I was at the vacation beach with family and all of a sudden needed to use a bathroom to pee. I run to a public bathroom and there, I found many people waiting in line. But for some reasons, once kind woman beckoned me and she let me use her private bathroom. She told me she could feel how urgent I needed to use a bathroom. I thanked her and entered the bathroom. I found there was no toilet tissue. I quickly came out from the bathroom and asked the woman for toilet tissue. She smiled at me and handed me a cloth bag. I went back to the bathroom and opened the bag. I found seaweeds nicely folded. I was shocked that it was not toilet tissues but at the same time I laughed at the indifference to the situation. I used the seaweeds anyway to replace for toilet tissues. I peed a lot. It came out with a big amount for a very long time. When I came out from the bathroom, there were many people waiting for me outside the bathroom. They all were happy for me and gave me a big applause.

When I woke up, I thought it was a message from my family spirits. I would not receive the right support about the exam, but I will pass it on my own. And the people will be happy for me.

In the late afternoon, my business mentor told me that she asked around her supervisors but could not gain any good information about the exam in my state. She said in our big team, there are nobody who lives in my state and therefore she could not provide me any information or support regarding the exam procedure. I was okay with it, because I was already informed that I would not receive any information and support for this matter. I have to be a pioneer and find out on my own.   

It was the last day of my daughter’s state test. The teachers were very nice to the students and the parents. I am happy that my daughter enrolls this school. I am also happy that I won’t need to wait for 3 hours in the car for my daughter’s test anymore until next year. It was tough for me to wait in the hot car for the three hours.

In the afternoon I made an appointment for the insurance test. I needed to go through making many phone calls and I didn’t enjoy the procedure at all because of the rude and unfriendly workers.

First of all, I hated the workers of the test company dealing with my state. I really hoped I had another option to choose for my test company. I talked with several different workers and they all were equally rude and unhelpful. I really envied other insurance agents in my team. They took the exams at their local test venues within 20-minute drive or even at home. I found out my exam condition is tougher than the people in other states. My state does not allow to take the exam at home. In addition to that, my state does not have the test venue in the local area. Unfortunately the closest test venue is a 1.5 hour drive away from my house. One more bad condition. The test venue doesn’t offer the fingerprint service anymore so that I need to find the other place to get a fingerprint. I had a tough time to acquire the information about fingerprinting. One of the workers told me I would need to travel all the way to the state capital to get a fingerprint, which is located a 3-hour drive away from my house. By calling many different places, I finally reached one nice male worker in the local area. He told me I can take a fingerprint locally at his office and he is willing to help me out for the other two documents required for the license.

I made an appointment of my license test on the last Thursday of this month. I really hope I will pass it so that I won’t need to drive all the way to the exam venue. Since I easily get lost in a new area, my husband will drive to the exam venue for me. I really appreciate his kind offer.

I took my daughter to the state test venue. It was a math test day. She took her time to the last moment, so that I needed to wait in the car for close to 3 hours.

After she came out from the room, she shared a cute story. She doesn’t like math so she didn’t even read the questions and just guessed the answer randomly. Then she heard a clear voice from somebody. Not somebody from humans but from spirits. The voice told her to stop just guessing the answer, rather read each question carefully. The voice encouraged her that she would know the right answer as long as she reads the question. So she followed the advice and started reading the questions carefully. She told me that was why it took long for her to finish all the questions. I instantly felt the energy from my late dad-in-law. Maybe he was with her and encouraged her to do her test properly. I appreciate him for encouraging my daughter.

From today for three days straight, my daughter will need to take the state test. Thankfully the test venue was in our local city, just 20 minutes away from our house. The test instruction says all the students are required to wear a facial mask all the time in the test venue, which I concerned about it. However, at the test venue, all the four teachers told the students that they don’t need to wear a mask. As a matter of fact, nobody including teachers, students, and parents were wearing a mask. There were only ten students in a spacious room and each of them had a big table to all to themselves. I think they all could spend test time comfortably.

This week my husband’s company have all their employees to attend a one-week boot camp training for their mandatory certificate exam. So, he will stay and study at home for this week. I am happy for him to learn new things and get a new certificate.

My family and I worked for some hours in the backyard for trimming dead trees. Even they were cut, all the branches still have moisture in them to make us hard to cut them off. I am amazed the strength of their survival energy. We all enjoyed working the yard work in the heat with the earth even though I am right now suffering from sore muscle.
