Welcome to the LAST of these for August! The last full month of Summer is almost gone POOF as of tomorrow. Crazy huh? I've spent half it melting, half it in school and part of it working. How was your last full month of Summer? Depending where you live I guess you could be having heat waves or nothing special...
1. Speaking of heat. We have been in a BAD heat wave this past week. So bad I think I am melting. today it is supposed to be cooler? The weather bug reads 76* at 4pm (yes I am writing this the day I post it rare but true). But this past week there were days I thought I would die. Monday it was very hot my walk to the sprinter and then school were painful. Worse was Wednesday by time I arrived at school dripping in sweat from the walk to the sprinter from work it was 89* out. Thursday was super hot too. As was Friday our hottest yet some places reached over 100* we got around 90* inside and I am unsure about outside. I just know it was my only sleep in day of the long week and I got less then I wanted ugh over the heat. Its just a part of the Summer months.
2. Had our race last Sunday and it was a BLAST! It was fun. When I did the hot chocolate 15K in March I only made it 2 miles and had that horrible sinus infection. Looking back I bet I could have walked the whole 10 miles. I would have been in pain but I would have done it had I not been so dang sick. I think I had that thing for 3 or 4 months before I felt better. Now I still have allergies and I know how to deal with them. And hope it never comes back. Okay so the race was fun. 4 miles from La Jolla to Pacific Beach. Me and my sister walked the whole thing (she claimed she was gonna haha *run the whole thing* but didn't). We weren't even the last ones in according to our numbers there were like 30 people after us (unsure how that worked since we had the ambulance and shuttle behind us guess they behind that??). I am just proud for my metal and proud I walked 4 miles. I felt it after but yeah. That was my only real workout for the week so there you go. After our race the shuttle didn't come for us like promised which truly SUCKED and ruined the whole fun of the race. Waiting 1.5hrs for nothing and then having to take a taxi to our car back in La Jolla was NOT my idea of a good time! I did not get my free beer again but I did get my free sandwich, medal, shirt, tea and all that jazz.
3. After our race we hit Sea World. Yes I have been there again it has been TEN YEARS since last there. When we last went it was with my parents and other sister. My grandma was still alive. It was before cell phones. She still had the video camera we gave her that broke a few years later. Our trip Sunday was fun but short. My sister bought us the tickets for like $89 each but we can come back rest of year. It wouldn't be so bad to do this again next year. Its more than the zoo & safari park (that was $110 for us both for the whole year) but still. We didn't see any shows. We did see penguins, sea turtles, dolphins, sting rays and flamingos. I am still getting my pictures ready to post online. FUN FUN times. I support SW and will always. I love that place and all they do for animals out there. It was fun. SO much fun! I am disappointed they don't sell postcards anymore? What is up with that? I was hoping to get a few and maybe a keychain. I got a keychain and nothing else. Every place but them has them which is odd...
4. Work was busy last week. I SADLY lost my Friday shift knocking out my $30 I could have used for gifts for people. Now I will be short still and was not happy at all! I did work Monday & Wednesday before school for 4 hrs each. I got off on time Monday but had to fight for Wednesday got off few minutes late. I didn't work Friday. I did a full 8hrs on Saturday and then nothing today. This coming week as in starting today hours suck! UE is playing games with me. They want me to come to an in person interview on the day I am in school so I have to tell them I cant. And then they want me to a phone call interview when I am also in school. They keep picking Thursdays. I just don't get why they told me I was going to get it, I have to keep reporting I am looking for work but they didn't give me a phone interview first. And NOW I have to get both? NOW before I get any money? I am so short and so broke it makes me want to cry. Of course I am looking for a better job but when will that happen? Before or after I have to eat into my savings for my dogs stuff next year? Money doesn't rain from the sky for me and sadly the one thing I thought I would get is gone. I just wanted a few checks one or two and that way I could balance out some of my expenses and now I don't even got that. Please pray I find a job or UE comes through. I am NOT counting on them at all. I will continue to report but without doing the phone or in person I have no idea if they will even think about giving it to me. I can say I am working as I am working this week and next. I didn't lie on that thing at all. I think its lame how they are treating me like I lied to them or something instead of paying me. Unemployment SUCKS! :(
5. School this week has been interesting. Monday after my hard work to get there from work and the sprinter I arrived to find class cancelled. I guess the teacher had it emailed but I never saw it and neither did at least half my class mates. Tuesday I dropped my 2nd class I am down to 1 in person for Tuesday & Thursdays. I might take that one again in the Spring if its offered it was just too much for me like this too much going on. I am trying to be involved in school. I am getting excited and trying to take classes next Spring too that will broaden my aspects on work jobs. I will always keep dreaming of being on tv and working with celebrities and will never give that up but at this point experience a foot in the door I need that too. Maybe even do an internship in the Spring WE SHALL SEE! Also Mira Costa started so I am doing that online 2 classes. In October I will up long as I keep them 3 more classes. 1 more MCC and 2 more PC. I am coming in at 16units long as it sticks at PC and 7 units at MCC. School is keeping me busy. I need to make time to read and sleep too. Its just hard. 14 weeks to go haha!
Well that is all for now. I wrote a lot cause I could. I need to do homework. I have the house to myself for a few hours pure silence but still fill it with the fan and music. Its who I am. The pets and me. On a cooler but still warm Summer day. Have a great week everyone. See you next weekend in September!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 23rd 2015)
Today as I post this will be a busy fun day. But I will be tired! More about that next week. On with the show. One more of these for August and then BOOM we in September! And Summer is nearly gone. Wow sad!
1. Workouts not really this week at all. I waned to try something before school few times this week. It just didn't happen. I was going on very little sleep all the days I went and the two I could have was less sleep then wanted without getting up earlier for a walk even. On Friday I did a small walk and bike and that was all. Big race this coming Sunday that I am ZERO prepared for. I am glad that its not the 15K and I am not sick with a bad sinus infection that thing was nasty. PLEASE don't come back next Spring! So 4 miles and I am walking the whole thing. I wanted to bring my dog it is allowed but sadly the race has a shuttle that takes you from finish line to start line that does NOT allow dogs! Boo!
2. Weather this week is behaving oh so Summer like. Its Summer still and we had a nice heat wave going on most days this week. I know cause I was OUT in the heat for school. Every day. I live close to the beach so on Tuesday & Thursday when school was earlier we left when it was overcast and cloudy but not cold. And then got to San Marcos where school is and there was the sun. It never left our side. Cooler this weekend is nice but since I am not in school and not working that much yeah. Back to heat again next week thanks a lot LOL.
3. The 17th I remembered the date took me a second to figure out why. It finally came to me. It marked 11 years since I got hired on at The Lego Store in downtown Disney. I loved that job. And it loved me. By far one of my favorite jobs ever. I mean I loved working at LEGOLAND till they kinda booted me out with their hate. And B&N was great as was Borders. But the thing with Lego was the managers all loved me, I had nearly zero issues ever with anyone, I had great discounts, free entry to both California Adventure & Disneyland, fantastic co-workers, I fell in love with legos like never before and still have so many things I bought there. The list goes on and on. They were so sad when I left Robert nearly cried, I got a cake and flowers. Things I have never had from a job I left on my own that didn't leave me. Which is rare. I stay at jobs long enough but most I either lose or I go on terms not my own. This was sad. The thing is it was supposed to be temporary and I tried for a while to get out. The hours were okay but sometimes conflicting and we were open all the time so I had to work holidays. These things I hated. I wanted a job for my degree and I think if I had never HAD to move to Oceanside when grandma died in May 2006 I might still be there. And the store went to pot when I left bad stuff happened, many of the managers were fired, someone new took over and not one co-worker I had back then stayed much longer. All were gone within a year or two. I am friends with a few on fb I know these things! But yeah I was hired on the spot, my boss loved me and never even gave me a 2nd interview he liked me THAT much. That rarely happens!
4. Work this week not that much but more than the past 2 weeks. I worked on Sunday a nice long mid day of 8hrs. I was glad to be not closing but tired the whole time. I worked on Saturday a nice long 8 hour opening on a busy Saturday. And got to ride the Sprinter on the way home. This next week I work 4 count them 4 days and I am going to school too so this was be a really long week. But bring it on I need the hours! I am still waiting for unemployment to send me my first check. I sent in my first set of 2 weeks worth and I am unsure how long the first check takes. I need it badly actually so yes please oh please!
5. School I left this for last as its been a crazy crazy week! I went to school Monday by myself rode the Sprinter there and back. I had just my one class English10 and I feel dumb not only that I am taking this with so many kids straight from high school. But its the bottom English class and we are learning what nouns and verbs are and why cant I remember any of these? I graduated high school English has always been my favorite class. I had English classes in college. But 15 years later why cant I remember this stuff? I am a writer with bad grammar and cant spell half the stuff. So I need this class. I love English I will pass this and move on. My sister got tested in to the one above me so she is in English50 while I suffer in English10. On Tuesday I liked my first two classes. It wont be easy lots of work, homework and test. Plus running the TV SHOW that they run for my one class. And early early classes on Thursdays beginning in September no comment. I dropped my 3rd one because I am unsure why they combined the 4 levels of this same kind of class in ONE class. It freaked me out. Too much. I had too much on my plate so I dropped that. Glad I had no book for that class yeah about that. So now I have just 2 classes on Tuesday & Thursdays. We dropped (meaning me and my sister) our math15 class after the meeting it was online the teacher is a bit nuts and frankly I think its better done in person. Will try again in the Spring. Wednesday repeat like Monday. So Thursday I had just 2 classes and that was nice. I tried to add another 2 online but only got one added. So I have dropped from 19units to 16units. I have 2 that wont begin till October around time my 1 for MiraCosta starts. Speaking of MCC I begin my 2 online classes with them on Monday so I will be busy really much all the time. I am glad I had no school and no work today as of tomorrow I will be non stop till Sunday and who knows past that (will know tomorrow). Yeah anyways.
Well that concludes week one of school. Just 15 to go! I wanted this but still its a lot. I need to go to bed earlier, but still make time for reading books and having fun. I cant be just working and school like I have been doing. I just need to recall all this is for getting experience, and fun and not so serious. I have a BA degree. I wont die if I don't get to keep doing this or if I don't do super great in my classes. So there you go. Perspective I had some this week! Till next weekend see you. Have a nice last full week of August!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 16th 2015)
Welcome to the 3rd one of these in August. There are actually 2 more of these wow August has FIVE Sundays did you know that? Crazy stuff!
1. Work I will start with this. I haven't been working ALL week. Unlike last week I was not called not even ONCE. I just don't get it. 2 weeks and no extra shift. They are killing me. I worked on Sunday this week and it was a long day and we got off a bit late. And thus ends my 2 weeks on 1 day each coming in at 15hrs (the amount I am working just next week and not the following). Smallest check in forever sigh. However I am glad to report that unemployment is going to be helping me out with $90 extra per week. I am unsure when it begins but it all helps. And of course I am looking for a better replacement job for sure. You know one that pays better and gives me hours. And hopefully not retail but who knows...
2. Hard to believe this weekend 14th, 15th & 16th marks 8 years since our first trip to Nashville. We spent more time in Memphis then Nashville and only saw a few apartments. We got lost a lot. But fell in love with so much. Beautiful state, friendly people and cheap everything. Gad. I miss it so much. I love you Nashville! Just crazy been over 5 years since last saw it...
3. I worry about my dog Rainbow. She has been increasing her coughing not decreasing it at a bad rate. Yesterday she ended at 5 coughs, the day before a record 6 coughs. Her resting rate has jumped up and down the past few days. She had teens for 2 days and then 25 for two days and then yesterday she went back down to 19. I am keeping track as long as I need to, forever if I have to. I love her so much and just want to get through this year and her be okay. An xray if needed isn't cheap. I have that health thing I pay for each month but its still close to $100 for an xray. My extra money is going away too fast and I am unable to pay much back. I am beyond not wanting to touch the remaining $600 in my savings so she can have that for her next echocardiogram next year in June. Its just no fun. I love my dog. I want the best for her. But its really just stressing me out she has so much needs to be paid for and I have so little to give her. I give her love and prayers and do all I can for her. Keep her in prayers please.
4. Workouts this week not so much. I tried a walk and bike twice. But for some reason my dog wouldn't really walk last time I tried it few days ago. I think her arthritis is acting up or something poor thing :( Today on my last day to not be called I went on a ride with my mom and sister by the beach. Took my baby with me. So hot out. We were over 90 when we left thankfully dropped to below 80 now inside it is still 85. Last fun trip for a while no time as of next week.
5. Wednesday last minute decided to do the water park at LEGOLAND we did not get to do last week. I thought we doing it on Thursday but we did it on Wednesday instead. I was not planning it and was super tired but no calls and lets just do this. Good thing cause sister had to work on Thursday after all that. So we went for 3hrs and it was so much fun! Sure it was exhausting but had fun. Did all we wanted to. Even tried the Chima park the wave pool was not super deep but still fun. Makes me miss like Ragging Waters pool it was way deeper! After we got crepes and then left to go home. Got to see the Carlsbad Library first time since the Spring when I rode a bus there to get stuff. But this semester will be harder to do that kind of stuff as I get off school so late. So got some books been reading them too.
Well that is all for now my last week before school. Yes SCHOOL begins next week. Unsure if we keeping our pre-algebra online class the teacher is a bit nuts. Will decide after our meeting on Tuesday and seeing how the free trial goes and homework. We have till end of month to decide. I vow to keep reading books but need sleep too and it will be exhausting. I am taking IF I keep math 19 units at Palomar and then another smaller amount of online at MiraCosta. My sister cant do MCC this semester they are keeping her from it due to grades lame stuff. I will be busy busy but will make time for the little things. And fall is coming bring on cooler temps and our shows coming back on the air!!! Have a great week everyone see you on the other side of my first week of school and a busy one at that!
1. Work I will start with this. I haven't been working ALL week. Unlike last week I was not called not even ONCE. I just don't get it. 2 weeks and no extra shift. They are killing me.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 9th 2015)
Welcome! I should be at LEGOLAND right now but they changed their dumb rules and cost us getting to do the water park today even if we planned it a month in advance they changed the rules few days ago NO free days for employees and the pass on Saturdays till end of Season. This is a new dumb rule! Trying to do it next week when I don work and my sister doesn't or its not happening as school is a week away!
1. The 6th marks 7 years since my Tinkerbell hamster went to heaven. I loved that silly little thing for the one year and a half I had her. I got her in April 2007 and she died in 2008 the day after my parents anniversary. I walked in the bathroom downstairs in our townhouse in TN where I was keeping her to stay cooler than me hot room upstairs and she was not moving she looked asleep. I cried and cried. I was all alone my sister at work till later. That night when she came home we buried her in an old check box in the dirt riverbed where the trees were behind our apartments. Afraid someone would see us and that the coming summer storm would get us. Often wonder how long it took for that box to be revealed we buried it deep but not that deep. Her sad death led to a month of planning to buy 2 gerbils (you have to get them in pairs but they are illegal in California!). I had the money saved up I was just days from getting the stuff and then some in September when Jackie & Rocky got abandoned on us. I call it that. Their owner left them and never came back for them expecting us to rehome them or keep them. God works in mysterious ways the timing was there that we got 2 cats not 2 gerbils! Miss you Tink!
2. For the past 2 months our neighbor next door has been having her whole yard re-done. She thinks its pretty we think its annoying. It steals our sleep when they are working on it EARLY in the morning. Their favorite days are Saturdays (7am NOT KIDDING) and Sundays. Sometimes in the afternoon. I thought it was done when the front yard was done as they are right by our window its Summer of course its open so its extra loud. Now they are in the backyard and its still loud they are doing more and more. Joking a pool is next haha NOT. Now our parents get to hear what we have been for months. Half my lost sleep is from the heat this Summer and half from that stupid building going on forever. UGH UGH why me.
3. Work is unexpectly not happening much. I got called twice this week both small shifts I missed the chance at. Next week I am FOR SURE putting my phone on. I am pretty free Mon, Tue, Fri, & Sat. I want either Wed or Thur for the water park. So I only work last Sunday and it was not super busy and the day seemed to drag on. My feet were hurting so bad from working Fri & Sat IDK why but it was horrible and being tired only added to my pains. I was so glad to be off. Hopeful for a week of calls and disappointed the two I got I missed I would have done them too not even closings sigh.
4. Workouts not much this week. I managed two walks this week both about 20 mint long and each followed by a 5 to 6 mint bike ride. I also managed on Friday a 20mint Zumba, plus 4 Michael Jackson dance games. It was exhausting I felt that pain! Pretty sure we doing a 4 mile walk/run end of month I am in NO way prepared for. If it happens it should be fun but I will be walking the whole thing. Wish I could take my dog they never allow that around here...
5. Wednesday was exhausting but SO MUCH FUN! I didn't get much sleep then took a Dramamine for a boat ride around the harbor. My parents celebrated their 37th and let us (me and my sister) ride for the hour in their boat they rented. Adorable thing had shade and all. We went around the harbor and close to but not the ocean. Got some waves at one point. It was the most fun I have had in a while! Then while they headed back out to Dana Point I waited for my sisters van to come home. I slept a lot off and on due the Dramamine it killed me man. I slept good that night simply cause of that stuff! But yeah fun.
Well this week I did not do a lot much. Hope next week for water park, at least one or two extra shifts, and do some cleaning and get ready. School is soon so soon. Keeping an eye on my baby girl my poor dog and her coughing. Counting her breaths when she sleeps 1x a day. Giving her pills and trying to not stress out with the time I have with her. Prayers its many more years she is my kid. Have a great week everyone! See you next weekend before school begins :)
1. The 6th marks 7 years since my Tinkerbell hamster went to heaven. I loved that silly little thing for the one year and a half I had her. I got her in April 2007 and she died in 2008 the day after my parents anniversary. I walked in the bathroom downstairs in our townhouse in TN where I was keeping her to stay cooler than me hot room upstairs and she was not moving she looked asleep. I cried and cried. I was all alone my sister at work till later. That night when she came home we buried her in an old check box in the dirt riverbed where the trees were behind our apartments. Afraid someone would see us and that the coming summer storm would get us. Often wonder how long it took for that box to be revealed we buried it deep but not that deep. Her sad death led to a month of planning to buy 2 gerbils (you have to get them in pairs but they are illegal in California!). I had the money saved up I was just days from getting the stuff and then some in September when Jackie & Rocky got abandoned on us. I call it that. Their owner left them and never came back for them expecting us to rehome them or keep them. God works in mysterious ways the timing was there that we got 2 cats not 2 gerbils! Miss you Tink!
2. For the past 2 months our neighbor next door has been having her whole yard re-done. She thinks its pretty we think its annoying. It steals our sleep when they are working on it EARLY in the morning. Their favorite days are Saturdays (7am NOT KIDDING) and Sundays. Sometimes in the afternoon. I thought it was done when the front yard was done as they are right by our window its Summer of course its open so its extra loud. Now they are in the backyard and its still loud they are doing more and more. Joking a pool is next haha NOT. Now our parents get to hear what we have been for months. Half my lost sleep is from the heat this Summer and half from that stupid building going on forever. UGH UGH why me.
3. Work is unexpectly not happening much. I got called twice this week both small shifts I missed the chance at. Next week I am FOR SURE putting my phone on. I am pretty free Mon, Tue, Fri, & Sat. I want either Wed or Thur for the water park. So I only work last Sunday and it was not super busy and the day seemed to drag on. My feet were hurting so bad from working Fri & Sat IDK why but it was horrible and being tired only added to my pains. I was so glad to be off. Hopeful for a week of calls and disappointed the two I got I missed I would have done them too not even closings sigh.
4. Workouts not much this week. I managed two walks this week both about 20 mint long and each followed by a 5 to 6 mint bike ride. I also managed on Friday a 20mint Zumba, plus 4 Michael Jackson dance games. It was exhausting I felt that pain! Pretty sure we doing a 4 mile walk/run end of month I am in NO way prepared for. If it happens it should be fun but I will be walking the whole thing. Wish I could take my dog they never allow that around here...
5. Wednesday was exhausting but SO MUCH FUN! I didn't get much sleep then took a Dramamine for a boat ride around the harbor. My parents celebrated their 37th and let us (me and my sister) ride for the hour in their boat they rented. Adorable thing had shade and all. We went around the harbor and close to but not the ocean. Got some waves at one point. It was the most fun I have had in a while! Then while they headed back out to Dana Point I waited for my sisters van to come home. I slept a lot off and on due the Dramamine it killed me man. I slept good that night simply cause of that stuff! But yeah fun.
Well this week I did not do a lot much. Hope next week for water park, at least one or two extra shifts, and do some cleaning and get ready. School is soon so soon. Keeping an eye on my baby girl my poor dog and her coughing. Counting her breaths when she sleeps 1x a day. Giving her pills and trying to not stress out with the time I have with her. Prayers its many more years she is my kid. Have a great week everyone! See you next weekend before school begins :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 2nd 2015)
Welcome to August! This is the last full month of the Summer and usually the most hot. Shall see. So far its looking like July hot enough to be annoying but not so hot you are dying. I still miss a/c at home and at work it would be nice to be cooler there too!
1. Rainbows vet visit is weighing heavy on my mind and heart. I am really stressed out about this. Hard to believe April which seems a thousand years ago was only 4 months ago. Just 4 months ago our lives changed forever. Thursday I got Rainbow in to the vet. The visit was very fast. With her pee sample I managed to get that morning no problem actually. They got her in and out in 5 min. I didn't expect that. I was hoping and praying for miracles (her kidneys not affected badly). The vet called me shortly after I had left and gave me not such good news. Her kidney levels are elevated in a way that is a concern. She told me that we may need to change dosage on her meds but would be talking to another vet the next day (yesterday). So I went home that night not knowing what to expect. Yesterday when she had not called me the whole day I was off work and they were about to close in an hour I finally talked to her. The guy she called (one of the people that did her test in June) had not gotten back to her. So she told me to change my dosage on her pills immediately! Just wanted to note here she takes 3 pills a day twice a day. 1 pill is cut in half so is half in the morning half at night. The other 2 are regular sized twice a day. Well the one I cut in half I am now to not give AT ALL. The smaller of the two I am now to give her ONCE a day EVERY OTHER DAY. I am leaving alone the largest, most expensive of the 3 for now that is okay. She hopes the vet will get back to her this weekend. If I don't hear back by Monday I can check back. She will have to talk to another vet about this if they don't get back to her by Monday. For now this is how we are doing this. Another possible test coming up. Hours are crap at work and I am stressed out we might need another test each one cost me $70 she has had them twice now. I'm trying not to stress trust God about this and how to pay and stuff but its just not easy for someone like me. Ye of little faith why did you doubt? Sigh.
2. Heat has been a big factor this week on sleep. The days I can sleep in are not easy. When it pops up to past 80* and up to 85* its just not easy to sleep. I even tried using my cold pack which usually works and it didn't. I know some Summers we have it hit 90's and even 100 I have seen that before. But everything counts. So my lack of sleep this week is in part to the stupid heat. Ah Summer fun but heat not so much.
3. Saw Ant-Man on Tuesday night. Finally saw a movie. Havent seen one since we saw Avengers a 2nd time. It was EXCELLENT AWESOME AND SO GOOD! Had to see it in 3-D so I am unsure how it is in 2-D. I would see it again in regular of course and cheaper. But unsure if that will happen while it in theaters. So yeah go see it. Paul Rudd is thee most adorable older actor out there. He ages beautifully and looks better at mid 40's then he did mid 20's in Clueless when we first noticed him!
4. School is COMING SOON! No kidding we are just 2 weeks away and a day from school beginning. Palomar is what I am talking about. MiraCosta is the next week and not only am the only one of us 2 taking classes this time there. All mine are online (3 at the time I am hoping for a 4th). I have ordered my only book I am renting. My sister and me are sharing a math book. And I have one more to rent on my kindle. If I get in the one I am waiting for I think that one is a kindle too but I could be wrong. I added 1 more at PC but I am unsure if will keep it. Wont start till October and needs a book as well. But if I get in the one at MCC I want I will drop this one. Its like my odd back up that I could find.
5. Work has been busy this week. Enjoy that while I can ha not really. I worked 4 days and the 2 I have closed so far we got off half hour later then I thought. I am sad that my job has dropped my hours to nearly zero. This week and next I only work ONE day a closing 8hr shift which means I could only get 7hrs each week and I count on nothing more. I am praying they call me this week and I will do my best to pick that up if I can. I am doing something this coming Saturday and also on Wednesday. But Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday I am open to work. I am also gonna use this time to look for another job because I cant go on like this sad but true :(
Well that's all for now. Gonna post this on time tomorrow! I hope you all have a great week. Stay cool. Welcome to August. See you on the other side of next weekend!
