Welcome to the last one of these for July. Crazy stuff. Middle of Summer middle of heat wave. And good bye July. Weird year for sure. First few months were slow the next few sped up. How was your week?
1. Work is work. That is all I can say about that. I am still at the door. I am still unsure where to apply. I still haven't gotten up the time to do it. Because the takes energy I dont have. But I WILL eventually try to leave this job for something better. I promise. Just unsure when. I just give in each day and work again struggle stress worry and then come back and do it again. Unsure how I am still doing this nearly 8 months in...
2. I had to call out again on Friday due to my cough not getting better. In fact my sinus infection has only not gotten better only worse. I am unsure what to do. I cant afford to go to the doctor. $15 for doctor $5 for medicine if its not bad medicine. Any test could cost more. All with no credit card and not enough money. Nope not happening. So for now over the counter crap prayers and continue as I am. Sigh.
3. Show 7 was great at school. Just 3 more shows to go. Rounding up I need to pay for my new class and that includes radio again. Yes!! I am excited for another radio class. But last year it kept me super busy. I won't be doing anything on campus this time I dont think so this will be it. And one online class. I need at least 6units I might try for 9. I wanted to do my photo class but putting it off another semester maybe in the Spring shall see. I will try
4. Tuesday after my class/radio show I met up with my sister and mom for a fun few hours at the beach. Of course it was hot as heck and we both got burnt her worse then me. But we still had fun. The shore was rocky with sea shells that lead me to buy my water shoes at work on Wednesday. I hope they also protect against sting rays they are still stinging people like crazy around here.
5. Thursday we finally did our 1 time a year Coronado trip. Me and my sister always go to the beach, for a few, walk the hotel after then get food usually which wich. Good time. Ran out of time for the movie. But still had a fun time all around. :)
Well that is all for now. For the first time in a few weeks this will be a more dull week. I think I have plans like once. I am sick trying to get well and such. So I am unsure what else we shall do. Have a good one. See you in August. God bless you always!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 21st 2019)
Hard to believe we are speeding yes SPEEDING through the month of July! Before you know it we will be in August how did that happen? What a weird year this is. So slow now so fast. Summer half done. Crazy. And here I am just 5 months from my BIG birthday! Gulp lol.
1. Work this week blah. I had to work so hard to get off Wednesday for an event (see below). I could not get off Saturday. I wanted to do this thing with my church but alas too many had asked for it off and we would have been major short handed. I didnt even fight for it though. I realized I couldn't afford to take that day off too. I have so many bills now a days that I have to have as many hours as possible. It scares me because now I am unsure how I can ever leave this job for less hours at another job if they dont promise hours if its retail. I cant have a job give me like 20 hours a week I would die for real. I need more money they ever before. The extra I put aside for my health bill twice a month is not enough to make it okay to work even 30hrs a week. I would truly be struggling at 32 and dead anything less. Honestly I need 36 to 40hrs a week to be okay. UNLESS I was making more than I make now. That would be the exception. I am just trying to pray about this all this and not hold it in because worrying about this is not a good thing and Jesus told me not to worry about the future and such things. So there you go.
2. School show 6 was great. I am sad we are almost done with Summer. Just 4 more shows to go. Wrapping up my internship soon. And then we begin fall. I plan to do possibly 1 in person class, 1 online plus my radio. Or just my radio online and another online. I am unsure at this point which it will be. I want to do in person but if it I do I will have no days off and nothing no time to do things like the zoo or Universal or anything else fun. Sigh. So confusing.
3. Tuesday we were going to do the beach, still sad we didnt. But my sister didnt feel like it. We instead had a fun little walk on the pier with my mom whom we met with. There about 2hrs had fun on the beach too. Even put our feet in the water. Before that and after my show we got pancake at IHOP for $.58 plus some other food. So nice time at the beach yes. Even if not a real beach day. Blah.
4. Wednesday I went with my group of gals to Girl Talk week 2. Up in Irvine (I promise I thought it was going to be in Riverside so confusing lol). It was a fun time there. I think the trip there and back was my favorite part. Those ladies are crazy. I mean it crazy. I was laughing at I didnt even know what but still funny. Had fun. A good message and a good time in general. I want to be honest while I always thought it would be fun to get involved with a womens group even back to my days at Calvary Chapel original I never went and did it. Why did I wait? Ladies who love Jesus as much as me and still know how to have a great time. Love you girls!! Sorry cant go next week and didnt get to do the first week.
5. Thursday we went up to Comic Con outside area. Sadly we didnt get a chance to see Conan O Brien show because no stand by :( and we got there so late we missed half the free stuff outside. :( Still had fun. I really want to attend it next year or at least volunteer and attend it. I want something else besides free area. But still fun time :) Love comic con where its okay to dress nuts and have fun ;)
Well that is all for now. This week not as full or nor as exciting. But still same same. Have a great week. See you next week!! God bless you all :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 14th 2019)
Welcome Welcome. How was your week? Mine was less eventful. First time in two weeks and I am saying I didnt do a lot sadly. Oh well I am okay with this. Next week promises to be very busy which is awesome I cant wait!!
1. Moving from TN to AZ we began our trip on July 13th. What a trip and what a difference. Was such a bitter sweet thing to do that. Move from a state that we have loved for 3 years and didnt want to ever leave. But felt like we should move. So off we want. With prayers and money and such. Began our adventure in AZ. I will never regret our move to AZ. I know I didnt work but two jobs total never enough and not long enough. My parents paid for our rent for a full year sadly. Something I can never pay back to them. And in the end God wanted us to leave the state. I tried for a job anything that would have kept us afloat and could have kept us there. God blessed me with an internship and we fell in love with a very different kind of state. And then one day in September 2011 we said good bye for good. Oh Arizona. Miss you much!! And I do miss TN. Because yesterday marked 9 years since we last were in our Southern home. :(
2. Work this week per normal the normal. Except no one there on Wednesday the other days are easier. Less panic on my end as I am not alone and I have all my breaks covered!! I am HAPPY about this. Yes HAPPY 100%. Sure I am tired all the time but I enjoy it like this. My co worker who has been with this company 22 years next year (swear its 21 years this year she has been at ONE store as long as my 21 years off and on in retail!) asked me how long I will be here. A year? She asks me. I am like I dont know. I still feel like I am supposed to leave the store all together and not just transfer so I have even tried to do something I was planning to do weeks ago. Praying about it still
3. We have gone from cold to hot finally it feels like Summer. Its weird like that July. It likes to outshine June in so many ways. So I am glad to say we are in summer. So much left to do before Summer is over. Including beach trips. And heck yeah we still haven't gotten back to Universal Studios. I have the money set aside and thought we were going to go in May or June and here we are speeding towards middle July and still haven't gone back yet. Sigh.
4. School half way through semester. Show 5 was great. Not great was a bug stinging my hand badly as I trying to leave. It swelled up it hurt SO BAD and I still have no idea what it was. Stupid bug! Glad it finally better took a good 2 days total to feel better. :( Planning show 6 now as I write this.
5. Did Whelen Lake again on Thursday after a month I think? of taking a break. Had fun for 2hrs we never stay that long. Sure we didnt see tons of birds but did see some. And had fun while we there. I love going there nice little break away from it all once a week. Hurray.
Thats all for now. See you all next week. Have a great week. And God bless you all :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 7th 2019)
Welcome to July!! Our weather has begun to behave finally it feels like Summer more of the time. Which is awesome. Now if we could only get to to the beach that would be very cool indeed. I know we tried once but you know where we stay more than 2hrs and for sure see the sun more than we did last time (heres a clue: we saw it none!)
1. 3rd of this month marked 15 years since my store Barnes & Noble closed for good. I spent like 3 weeks helping along with whoever was left close our store down. I wanted to just end it so badly I couldn't find work. I ended up not going to another B&N so they gave me a nice small check and I began my unemployment for the first time ever for me. I was in about a month before my job at Lego Store was picked up in August. I will never forget that job. It had its heart aches. But it had its good stuff too. Sure it included crushes on guys, me in college the whole time from beginning to end, and it ended with me unsure where to go next. I loved my store. They hated me at times my managers came and went and sometimes they hated me frankly badly. But still I loved it. I was planning to go full time and save up to move to Los Angeles. I was going to get a car and a license and move to LA slowly. This all before knowing how much experience I would have needed and didnt, nor how much all that would cost. I know its not like today but I bet 15 years ago it was still not cheap to live in LA. Still I had big dreams and I believed they would come true. I want that attitude back! The one there was when I thought nothing could stop my dreams. I believed in God I knew it would work out and I was all set to try when they lowered the boom on me in like March or April and few months later we said good bye. I miss you B&N I miss all of you and the ones I am still in contact with are very few. But yeah 15 years crazy stuff.
2. Work this week blah. At least I showed up all 5 days. I got my schedule fixed I hope for the thing trying to do on the 17th of this month. Really had to work for that one. I also should be getting sick pay for my day I missed last week when I sick. So that should work out and I will know that as of today will check into it. I am still sick btw but better. Thankfully for little things at work like we got new people THREE NEW PEOPLE! And because of that I can breath a sigh of relief. Well I can do it yes I can. Wait we got two new people I forgot the lady is not for us but for happy to help. Am I still going to try to transfer to another part of the store? I am unsure at this point. I still hate my job but the pressure is a bit less and the more I get help the better it does. Like leaving work in Saturday and having a person there in our team and not just some random person helped me leave in peace.
3. Show 4 was not bad at school. I am glad to say it went very smoothly. Despite the wifi acting up on campus yikes. Wait I Forgot I messed up 3x on the show. 3 OOPS my bads. I will live with that one. Live & learn. Its all learning since we still in school so yeah live and learn. But I love my show and I am working hard to keep it going good. Wish me luck!! Side note: I am working on getting a real job in radio & or an internship. With much prayers I am reaching out to stations. Music type does not apply I will take anything. I think in the end my biggest motivation for getting a car and license will be having a real job to need it for. THAT is a good reason if nothing else right?
4. Tuesday after my show over with I went back home to chill. Then me and my sister took the train down to the San Diego Fair. We only there like 4hrs but it enough. For food, a concert part of it and our one ride. And playing in the themed area (this year Wizard of Oz). Fun times. Exhausting but fun day.
5. The 4th of July got a late start. San Clemente our usual trip down the street park far away take forever to get there and back. Fireworks fun of course. Not like last year where we there hours before this time barely an hour before. Then Dennys for breakfast dinner. Sad they didnt bring back the red white blue pancake special this year they had it for years :(
Well that is all for now. Almost did the GYM on Monday but just ended up getting pizza and nothing else and then going back home. Oh well there is always next week. Have a great week everyone. This week after 2 full weeks will be slower. But still hope to do some stuff. See you all next one. God bless you always :)
