Life is funny! 1999 which was 18 years ago I got my knee operation that would change my life. Sure my knee was better but never completely well. God works in mysterious ways and I was never healed. I still have a bad knee since I was 19. Just 2 years before that at 17 me and my sister then 14 got jobs our first at the Orange County Fair. I was the quiet one and the boss didn't like me as much as my younger sister. But she somehow talked him into it and he told me this. So we both worked mostly weekends for the 2 weeks the fair in town. Oddly enough in our area now the fair is there a month. But 20 years ago yes I feel old saying that the fair only lasted 2 weeks. Unsure but it might still be shorter for the area I haven't been in a very long time!
1. Worked less this week but not bad. I worked 4 times because I asked for time off I got those plus my usual 1. So I only worked 4 times but not great hours. Next week which I have asked nothing off I am getting the same. I can see I am coming to the end of my grace period where I get hours cause I have a status at work. I know I will get the same status again but hey what can I do? Did I mention I made employee of the month last Sunday? If not I did! God likes to surprise me a lot lately. Employee of the month for June (gift card to starbucks thanks). Plus I won that package of sweet stuff in June which resulted in my free movie. I asked not for either of these God just gave me gifts which I thanked Him for a hundred times. UNEXPECTED blessings! Yeah I applied at Target opening up by us. I am trying to be hopeful and praying for at least an interview. I just want a chance at this store so close to home. I need change. I wish I could get out of retail. One day soon just probably not yet....
2. Did the GYM twice last week. I will do it three times this week. Back to hours where I get to go before work. I had 45min on Monday and over an hour on Friday. I love the GYM no complaints except pain I in on Friday from the two days before. Oh well moving on.
3. Wednesday was our concert I have looked to since I bought the tickets back in March. We saw Tears for Fears & Hall and Oats. Sadly we got lost went to the wrong casino an hour away and missed the first half hour. So that was sadness. But otherwise had fun. There late. Really a good time truly! I will never forget it. I cant forget the stairs we climbed up and down to our seats but that was part of the fun right. But that day turned out way different then thought after we got lost and such.
4. Thursday we did paddle boarding yet again. This time not in the ocean but the Carlsbad Lagoon. That was fun. But the unfun was what we did. You see I have two bad knees. One bad and one kinda bad. I could not stand up. I could not do the whole thing kneeling. The pain was beyond bad. I realized I was in trouble as I tried to follow my sister around the corner way far from shore. I almost fell off or flipped several times. I have never been so scared in my life. Jesus gave me strength. I was saying the verse over and over again as I prayed and came back. I realized the pain from the kneeling two bad knees I thought I was not going to make it. I thought this is it I am going to die right here. Never again. But hey I did try!
5. Went to Comic Con on Thursday too. Kinda a mistake doing both in one day. We got late for the train. The train appeared to be full. God kept us from coming on time too. We went to Del taco the line took forever. Then when we got there train about to go (ironic this happened 4 years ago to the date) and NONE of the machines would take my card. I should have just stopped after 4 machines but the last one did. Like idiots we running not knowing the train full and about to go and off it went. Then we spent 2 hours in the hot car no a/c to get to the mall to ride the trolley. I ate my $14 cause I didn't realize we shouldn't be on the train. God was protecting me and I didn't listen. But we got there eventually. Walked around. Most places closing and by the time we got done and got dunkin donuts it was almost 9:30. We didn't get home till like 11. But had fun. Not doing this again next year too much problems UNLESS we volunteer. Comic Con will be in San Diego till 2020 at least!
Well that is all for now. Lots to say. I got to get ready for work now. Wearing new headphones. Wireless but I cant get the blue tooth to work oh boy. I will work on this. till next weekend last in July have a good one. A more dull week for me but hey its okay. God is good. Talk to you all soon!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 16th 2017)
A bit late but not like last week. Sorry guys! I even was working later today so I was going to come on but then got to bed too late so ended up just running out of time and getting up later. I was exhausted
1. I was going to do the GYM but then guess what. We had wifi problems no joke right before we leaving. My 30min left. Sure I could have gone for like 20min maybe. But that would not work. I got my free pizza and went to work. Very sad was me.
2. Went on a small walk on Thursday. Would have been longer but we left too late and they close at sunset. But was at the park for about 20min. Still had a little fun. Saw a ton of dragon flies more than I have ever seen at one time. Wow crazy! But cool
3. Saw Despicable Me 3 on Tuesday. Very funny. Soundtrack yes. But the screen had issues. This was with my giftcard I won at work. So we ended up getting tickets to come back. My free movie turned into another free movie in the future. So that was pretty awesome. God is good
4. 7 years ago we left from TN to AZ its just crazy. Our trip to AZ our lives from that point on in the heat till our eventual move back to Cali a year later. And to think 10 years ago in July we planning our trip to live in TN never knowing what would happen. God works in mysterious ways always guiding us. But looking back at the timing it really blows my mind where does the time go
5. Worked a lot last week. 5 days and a nice amount of hours. Not so nice is next few weeks. This week next week and I am sure the following too. But lots of hours. And a nice mid shift on Saturday which for me like never happens.
That is all for now guys. Hope you have a great week. Mine is gonna be busy. Less work hours. But a concert, comic con, gym and paddle boarding. My only free day is Tuesday. Stay tuned next weekend it is gonna be fun. Have a great one. God Bless you all!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 9th 2017)
Sorry this is up later then usual. I blame the heat and all that junk. How was your week? Weekend? Hope you have a blessed day cooler then us HEAT WAVE!
1. The 3rd of July always brings this mix of sadness to me. My aunt died in 1996 on that date. And then as fate would have it in 2004 my job at barnes & noble ended when our store closed its doors for good. I would spend the next few weeks with the remaining co workers to help kill my store. We got rid of it all. I wanted to cry. It was nice to have my co workers around a bit longer and I often wonder how they are now in life 13 years later. I have a few; I found on facebook so nice but the rest I have no idea what they are up to. I loved my store. Sure it hated me to pieces. I had several managers against me but the fun of books the dream of a bookstore job I had forever and the fact it got me through my 4 years of college always make me happy sad it is gone. Sure I went on to work at another B&N in 2007. And of course Borders for almost 3 years in TN. I love books no doubt about that one
2. July 4th both me and my sister off work? This is nearly unheard of. We had such big plans. But ended up just staying home till like 8 then driving down to San Clemente which is about half hour away. We got to the beach just as the show was about to begin. So fun. Up close is better. Last time we here in 2015 we never made the beach ended up watching from a hill which was a nice thing since it was all we had. Had dinner at Dennys. Then came home. How was yours?
3. Gym time was short this week. I only went once. I had several full shifts and dead in the middle of the week on Wednesday I had a shorter closer. So I went for only 30min. With hopes of trying this again the following week. It was nice to go but felt odd barely going at all since I usually spend a minimum of 1 hr there every time I go or at least 45min.
4. Went and saw Cars 3 finally. I had my free (throw up) ticket from May. Sister had to pay. Went to the nice theater which was cool. Small theater btw but still. Not a bad movie. Not my favorite that is the 1st. The 2nd one was okay. But not a bad ending to the films. That is I am assuming this was the last one
5. Work was busy last week. 5 days and 4 were long shifts usually 8 hrs or 6. A full is 8hrs. I am glad for hours. Few more weeks till school and less hours. I get by best I can. Next week is our concert. I just remembered this. So exciting!!
Well that is all on my plate. Hope you had a great week and this week is treating you well. See you all on the weekend hopefully sooner then this late!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 2nd 2017)
Welcome to the month of July. Been a bumpy couple of days here for us. But getting by best we can. How is the year half over? Every day is closer to the end of the year. Wow!
1. Rocky is on my mind. Our poor boy has issues and they aren't going away. With his bladder. With something else with that. He and Jackie turned 9 last month and its so sad. A cat that had no issues till last year has had them none stop. He is now more expensive then my dog. We love him. Of course we do. Wish he was well again and no more issues
2. Work has been alright. Busy this week lots of hours. More next week. Getting by piece by piece. Hope to have a new job by end of year. But until then I press on.
3. Gym happened twice last week. Both times were a rush barely 45min then work after which was earlier. But nice when I got to do it.
4. Hard to believe this time in 2010 we getting ready to move to AZ. And in 2007 we were getting ready to move to TN. Weird the time of all the things. I don't miss moving but sometimes I do.
5. Did the beach on Tuesday. Coronado was fun. Got to see the ocean. Go to which wich after. Not a bad time. Had fun. Been 2 years since we there and then we back and now we aren't.
Got a lot to do tonight. Have a great week everyone. And a safe 4th of July. See you all next weekend. God bless!
