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!
