Weekend 5 (Sunday, February 23rd 2014)

Hard to believe this is the LAST Sunday in February. Wasn’t I just writing about the first one. Unlike January which seemed to drag February has flown by sadly still….I want the beginning of the month back yes please!

1. Workouts this week haven’t been what I wanted them to be. But I managed to twice this week actually run some. Yes I did. The race I am training for is in one month (exactly) its on the 23rd of March. And we all know up until the end of Feb that March is the twin of Feb days/dates. I am just doing 5 min walk, 1 min run. I did it twice. I missed a day but made it up too. Due the Olympics and such things I only got 2 not 3 out of this week. But this week will be at it again with 3 times. I am only doing 1 min till end of this week. I need to up myself 1 min each week starting next week. So I am hoping to be up to 3 min by race day. But shall see. I can do this! Last year I ran for 4 min walked for 2 min both races. Although Hot Chocolate one (we are only doing this one this time) it was a lot more walking as the hills were horrible in San Diego. Cant wait ha ha!!

2. Yes its almost end of month and yes I sadly don’t have a job. I am using my new blog if you haven’t seen it yet just click on my info and find it. I am using it to talk about not having a job anymore. I feel better doing this than using this blog or my livejournal or tumblr blogs to complain (I have a lot of blogs I am sort of addicted LOL). But this week I had this job fair for “Frazier Farms Market”. After over an hour in the sun for it early morning. I found out bummer they wont open till June. I need a job by April. So if I don’t have a job by May maybe they will call. But God help me if I don’t have a job by April I don’t know what I will do! So shall see. That’s my only job news. Thanks to my sisters idea I took today and yesterday off and haven’t been looking for jobs at all. I think about it but not look for work. Been a nice break. Tomorrow back to calling jobs applied to and applying again.

3. Went to 30:40 group again in Carlsbad. I am sorta sad well very sad the Pastor is leaving. I am unsure why and who is replacing him. I guess he mentioned it at the meeting two weeks back but we missed that one. So I think we will keep going. I miss being in a singles group sometimes a lot. Its really hard being there where like half the people there are married or something like that and here we are totally single. But the message was good. I love using my bible app I would almost like recommend it. Its Blue Bible App and its free. And you can take notes in it. Its harder than using paper but I can keep the notes and than email them to myself. Maybe one day I will print these. I am unsure but its nice. Didn’t make church again today very sad about that one. I miss going to church. Sometimes I really miss Saturday night church it was so much easier having that I wish they would bring it back we would probably go more often. Its harder to go on Sunday mornings if my sister works one of her jobs.

4. Looked forward for a while to the Booksale at the library. It wasn’t that great a sale. First off they told us and it was ALL OVER there with signs we cant put CD’s or DVD’s in the bag for $5. First off it’s the last hour of the sale why should it matter? 2nd they always let us this is a first. 3rd who cares they get donated if you don’t sale them. The lady inside made me most mad. First off claiming “we’ve always done that” NO YOU HAVENT! And second being like “than people will come fill up their bags with dvds and cd’s.” I think if you actually limit the stuff it would be okay. They could check our bags as we leave. Like maybe not even pay till we leave give us a bag and check them. It wouldn’t be that hard. Be like only two CD’s and two DVD’s. Or something like that. Knowing this will be hard it seems they might do this again next time. I am unsure if I can go in May so maybe that’s okay. I got stuff, I filled my bag but still not as fun when I couldn’t grab dvds and cds even if they had a poor selection. Lame Lame.

5. We back to Guitar this week. I haven’t been practicing as much as I wanted sadly. But back to it. Teacher strange as usual. He really is scary I forgot how much so I think its worse than in 2007 I honestly do. I thought not but teaching us guitar as opposed to just music theory is freaky. But it was our last time. I am kind of relieved I don’t have to practice but hope I keep doing it. And we don’t have to do the midterm and all that junk. You see few hours after we home he sent me and my sister this mean letter by email. And I don’t think he was very respectful at all. He was like all upset we have taken his class before and why are in this if you have stuff like that. He started out asking why we in there. And then kept going. Now just being curious is fine. But either way we have NEVER taken his guitar 1 class before. We took guitar music theory. NOT the same thing. I could paste the letter in here but I don’t feel like keeping that in my blog forever. Bad enough to keep it in my email but I did. Sigh. Why teach why? Sadness.

Well that’s all. Next Sunday is March. I need a job next month BADLY. Tonight we say good bye to Winter Olympics it makes me want to cry. I will miss having this to watch every night. I know we watch a lot of tv but not the same thing. I am team USA all the way but still sadness. Good bye Olympics YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!! Who knows where I will be in 2 years for Summer Olympics. Here still (hope not). Married? With kids? In a career. You just don’t know where you will be in 2 years. Heck I don’t know where I will be next year at this time…Till next Sunday have a good one everyone!!!!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, February 16th 2014)

One more Sunday in February and this is a tough month for me. Every day closer to April leaves me in a panic attack mode …

1. Its half way through this month and I still don’t have a job. In fact no jobs are even calling me. I am officially unsure where to apply. To keep up with what I have been doing job wise I update my twitter daily if I have or haven’t applied. I apply to jobs of course I do but no one is calling me. The biggest ones like Legoland are silent and I will be checking back with Petsmart but my positive attitude dims in the light of every day that I don’t find a job. I lost unemployment and then the extension never came back. I think they gave up on this I am unsure but pretty sure they wont be able to extend our benefits. I thought this month would be a good job month for me but so far it SUCKS. I am not going to lie I am extremely stressed out and ask if you pray please keep me in prayers!!

2. I have been having HORRIBLE sleep problems. I am okay now have been for past two nights. But seriously beginning last weekend on Saturday night till like Tuesday night I was not sleeping right. I would take hours to fall asleep and then wake up way too soon. Or not be able to stay asleep. I am grateful for getting back in a normal pattern. But I am still feeling so exhausted even getting 9 or 10 hours because of that lack of never caught up sleep. I am such an insomniac sometimes. Sigh.

3. We had no guitar class this week. But I have been doing guitar almost every day even just for half hour. I am unsure what we are supposed to be learning so sticking to what he taught us. It seems like that would be boring but it keeps my fingers busy. My tips getting more hard daily. It feels weird even now typing but I like it. I am kind of crazy ocd crazy about skin things so having something new to play with when I am bored is nice ha ha. NO church today makes me sad. I really liked church last week. I need to stop being so lazy and use my church app to at least listen at home and take notes too. Its not the coffee and goodies I go for. But glad since my sister is the reason we didn’t go she got me coffee from her job for today. Nice of her!

4. So on Wednesday we went roller skating at this skating rink I almost went to for my birthday last year. I am just not into ice skating anymore but in 2010 I loved Roller Skating at the rink in Arizona. Yeah this rink isn’t them. There we got in super cheap. I had a coupon so I was free my sister cost but her rental was like cheap. I had my own skates (still do they are in our garage I know where but cant get to them I miss my skates!). So my sister had an idea to go on Wed night when its free for rentals and $5 to get in. She treated us both to go. I tried on skates and had to get a different size the one I had were too tight causing extreme pain. The rink is small and was very crowded. And they played a game every half hour. They were open like this 6-8:30 we got there about 7. I was doing okay after I had a nicer size of skates and having fun. But there were idiots in my presence and they cost me a big fall. There were guys who would jump and spin, and go backwards more than one. This was roller skating not ice skating and not enough room. People! Than this kid he could have been a teen I will go with teen young teen age between 13 and 15. He decides to stop DEAD STOP in front of me with his one leg back and his skate forward. My sister said at first he was “falling” no he wasn’t. He was being stupid and trying a trick out. Well I had no place to go but fall into him. I fell into him hard. I fell on him. Slamming my right knee and right hand into the ground. I was glad my left leg fell on him my bad knee couldn’t have taken that. I was in so much pain I had to sit down for a while. And when I finally did go back out I was shaky and sore. He made my hand hurt so bad it took two full days for me to stop. I already have bad wrist. I was dying. I couldn’t believe it I have never had such a stupid NOT my fault thing happen. I guess declaring that on facebook wasn’t so smart as NOT ONE of my near 300 friends said anything causing me to be so mad I hid the update and have not commented or liked a single post since Thursday. I will get back to it tomorrow. Social media has really affected me. I would appreciate when I share something very embarrassing like that someone even family could say something to me. So that was my night. I had fun okay later on but was not feeling so great still. Idiot!

5. I saved this for last. Ah Valentine’s Day aka Single Awareness Day. I just had my 34th valentines day without a special someone. I am still recovering. So nice of people to claim its just one day, and who cares. I CARE. I think those who say that at least must have had a special someone once in their life. Get back to me when you are in your 30’s and still single having NEVER had single boyfriend. Then we can have a nice conversation about why that day truly sucks. It didn’t even feel like vday. My moms birthday and I was home all day due to my sister working. And that was my first day of facebook fast so while everyone was bragging about what their special someones got them I was sitting there ignoring it all anyways. Timed perfect!

I have been enjoying The Olympics and will miss them next week. I know I know don’t talk about it we still have another week left. But still I love Olympics LOVE them. Yes go everyone I don’t care team USA all the way whatever. Till the last Sunday in Feb aka next week have a good one!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, February 9th 2014)

Welcome to the 2nd weekend in February. Hope everyone is having a nice month. Me not so much but hey it could still get better right?

1. The Olympics began this week. SO exciting!! I love this time of year. I love both Summer and Winter. I have none I like better. I just learned that up until 1994 just 20 years ago both Summer and Winter were held same year. So that makes sense I kind of recall this. It was like there would be Winter than Summer. I think its funnier I don’t recall the change when it happened. I was old enough (14 at least in age going on 15). Its just weird though looking back on Winter games. 4 years ago the last time they happened it was so different. We lived in TN. It was 2010 the same year my cousin got married and sadly my cat died. When the games happened we were with Borders but not working mostly living off partial unemployment because they had no hours for us. 2010 also had that bad flood that happened shortly before we made our trip to CA in May. So the Winter Olympics happened when my sister picked up this phone book delivery job. The job not worth the $$ paid for us to do it. But it was interesting spending time watching the games while bagging the countless phone books all over the apartment. Good times! We got kind of addicted since we had nothing really else to do so we watched all the time and whenever we up. With no cable like we have now we could only watch what came on the regular channel. But fun. I miss my Grandma a lot during the Olympics Summer and Winter both. For Winter games we used to watch the figure skating together it was like our favorite thing. I have so many good memories of this it makes me sad. I think she saw the one in 2006 since it was before she fell ill than never recovered. So yeah Olympics till the 23rd. The Opening was very interesting. I don’t have that many bad feelings about Russia they are okay. I know in end times they play a role with Israel so when Israel came in the opening they were talking about the “tension” between the countries no kidding. So yeah enjoy the games!

2. I managed 3 workouts this week. I thought I getting sick what my sister has or my parents again but I am okay so far thank God for that. So I worked out three times this week Mon, Wed and Fri. Today I was supposed to begin training for The Hot Chocolate Run which is coming in just 7 weeks from today. But will try on Tuesday instead. Oddly enough I was sick last year this time and trained just fine this late in the game so I hope that’s okay. I will miss doing two races in March but hey its cool. We had some rain this week. SO GLAD. Our drought continues but everything counts. Blessed that there is snow in the mountains and it still is raining and snowing up north for the next few days. Don’t think we will see much action we barely got a days worth but we need it so NO complaints at all.

3. So we skipped 30:40 this past Friday so we could see the opening for Olympics (see #1). But we are going to church today so that is good. Sad we skipped last week. School is going okay. I hope to possibly try an online class next month for office skills. But unsure on that. Guitar is doing alright. Except our teacher is the same old teacher he was 7 years ago. He can be nice sure but he has these moods and just like 7 years back he picks on a few people who aren’t always even doing anything wrong and gets mad at them for “Talking” or whatever. If feel bad for the guys. Plus this guy is scary when he gets this way. It began few weeks ago. The first two weeks we had no issues. But more we get into class and this is different than last time we are actually learning guitar so its just tense. Glad for the 15th to be a holiday so we no class nice break sleep in. But I love playing guitar and I am doing it nearly daily during the week even if just for 20-30 min. My fingers are getting harder. I just wish I could use my strap better my arms get SO tired from sitting there with it. When I go close to an hour I am in pain after. My right arm mostly. But getting used to that too.

4. It continues to look like unemployment will not be extended. It makes me mad. The Republicans are so hot headed they just wont let the Democrats get that bill passed. Thur they missed it by ONE vote. I am unsure if it will happen. Makes me sad. I did my taxes on Monday hope I get paid this week. But I am getting back a lot more than I thought I would. I thought I would have to pay in but they are giving me back what I took out of my ue checks plus a few dollars more. With that $$ I can provide my needs money for 2nd time this month. And all of March I am good. I am sad I cant use this money for fun stuff. I am allowing myself a few small treats including a dvd, a journal and my usual People Yearly I buy every year. But that’s it. No zoo, no races, nothing special. Sad but true. Praying for a job by April before my $$ is once again an issue (unless ue changes than I would be good even longer).

5. So excited to say we are registered again to volunteer for Comic-Con that comes up in July. Last year we missed out on this early registration but because we did one assignment last year we got to register on Tuesday. And we are set. I am unsure how many days we can do. But I hope we get to do a lot. I am excited just thinking about it. And hope I can get a costume together before than.

Well that’s it for this week. This coming will be bit more boring oh hum. But hey there is always the Olympics my new thing till the 23rd. Have a great one everyone!!

Weekend 5 (Sunday, February 2nd 2014)

Welcome to February and it’s two things today. Super Bowl Sunday. Go Seahawks! I am NOT a football person but watching the underdog win and so little wanted them to among my friends made me smile. Sorry if you lost but this was their first time. Here’s to the underdogs we win sometimes too! Also it’s Groundhog Day. I hear he saw his shadow. Sorry for 6 weeks more of Winter especially to those who are getting REAL Winter!!

1. Tomorrow it might rain. And I pray for it nightly now. California is in a seriously bad drought. Like the worst drought ever. So bad they are having people reduce water intake as much as possible. If it doesn’t rain soon it will affect crops and has already affected reservoirs and lakes. There is dry and then there is drought this a drought!

2. Really excited about Comic Con this year. We get to sign up on Tuesday. This is for those who did at least one shift last year. We have till the 13th but I plan to do it soon as I can on Tuesday. Going to try to do the preview night too unsure but it will be nice to be able to do it. And nice to know so soon. Last year we missed out but got in April to be able to come as people dropped off the list that had signed up. Yes come on July!

3. This has been some week for stuff job wise and nothing good of it. First of all I will be filing for taxes tomorrow. While I do not look forward to finding out more than likely I will have to pay in I am hoping for a miracle and some how I will at least not have to do that. I don’t count on getting anything back but shall see. I only took 10% off my checks the second half of the year. Since I did that I could have to pay in as much as $188 (guessing cause that is what came out the second half of the year). On Wednesday I went down to Encinitas for the Goodwill bookstore job fair. It was okay till I got stuck down there for 4 hours in a mix up not even a book. I sat in Taco Bell not a fun day. I am unsure how the job turns out they will come me this week possibly. Shall see. I will do a job review of the interview next Sunday. I got my notice in the mail that my appeal was removed. I faxed it in and was mailed few days later. So nothing else new. I keep applying for jobs but I do not get many who call me back. Even GW wasn’t a call back I went down there after seeing their flyer. Sigh. Discouraged it is now Feb and no job no idea what is going on. Trying to be hopeful!

4. Only did two workouts this week. Mostly because I dyed my hair Monday and didn’t work out on Saturday. But two is better than none I guess. I did a Zumba on Monday and a wiifit on Thursday. I hope for three this week but maybe no walk supposed to rain tomorrow. 8 weeks till Chocolate Run and I believe we are doing this run again. SO I hope to be running at least some before then. Shall see. Um go me. I love working out!

5. Been practicing guitar all week unsure about tonight but I am trying. Guitar Guitar Guitar. I love guitar. I love learning. I am kind of addicted. Except our teachers odd side is coming out. The one we saw back in 2007. So unsure about that. But class is okay. And we have one more class before we get the 15th off. I take it seriously and so does my sister unsure about everyone else in class. Plus we doing it for fun. Yes guitar!

That’s all for this past week. This week such fun as signing up for ComicCon and the Olympics. Nothing job wise but who knows trying to be hopeful. Keep me in prayers if you pray thanks so much everyone and see you next Sunday!!
