One last day in June and its today Sunday tomorrow we go to JULY...yikes!!
1. Workouts this week have been nearly gone. I walked or didn't walk and that was it. 2nd week of this which is bad. I was doing so good with Zumba. Its the heat I tell you and I blame it for my lack of sleep and energy. Today wasn't as bad but still not cool out. Yesterday not as bad either but went to bed too late. Thursday and Friday the heat woke me around noon even if I was getting up a few hours later it took forever to go back to sleep and that included switching sides of my bed, changing to cooler clothes and putting my bean bag ice bag on my head! I think I get hot flashes when I sleep I always wake up so hot when its hot out. HOPE this week to get back to workouts although Wed is up in the air due to the Oceanside celebration in downtown going to go see the fireworks cause my sister works the 4th. Tomorrow & Friday I should be go to actually workout. Shall see and shall try!
2. I had my first interview in a month plus on Wed this is a big one. It was for the new ROSS store opening by us. The group interview was about a half hour long and took place at the ROSS about 15 min from our house. The new store is 5 to 10 min away, opens mid July. We were told we should know about our background checks by Tue this week. But when I called the other day to update my reference phone number from my last job she told me they are still interviewing through Tue and IF they decide to do a background check they will call me. So I really don't know whats going on. I am hoping they give me a shot they are hiring 50 people. Minus it affecting ComicCon, needing shoes and a shirt I have the pants. And if I could just work there even 25hrs a week and then get a job at PetsMart in Nov I could save money again and you know have jobs that wont go away at end of season. I have not had a non-seasonal job since Borders took me on after the season in 2008! That's a LONG TIME to not have a non-seasonal job! I have all but given up on LL they might consider me again in the fall but that's not till November same time as PetsMart. Walmart opens in Sept. With UE still up in the air I honestly don't know what I will do if it doesn't getting extended and I don't have a job soon. God is in control but I worry too much more than I ever should :/
3. Tuesday the 25th marked 4 years since Michael Jackson died. I will never forget that day or how I found out. I was sitting in McDonald's in Franklin killing time till my shift began at Borders which was across the street. My sister text me she had heard it at her other job. I didn't have the ability to go online so I sent the picture out there to twitter or fb unsure and got a reply. ChaCha was no help and I had no other way to confirm. I was then the one who went to Borders and told my assistant manager and a few co-workers! Sad sad day. In honor of MJ I played the wii game 4 songs total. I haven't in so long I forget how much fun it is. I also listened to his music on my ipod for a few hours (I've collected most of his cd's over the years and keep them on there one of the few artist that I have all theirs songs of). I have been keeping his kids in prayers since the whole thing with Paris. I cant imagine their pain but I lift them up. We miss you MJ king of pop and it still doesn't seem like you are gone too soon!
4. The 28th marked Patches & Princess birthday. I still miss my Princess so much I ended up crying at some point. I know she is happy with her sister. They would both be 21. But got stolen from us by diseases out of our control. Patches died just over 12 years old in 2004 and Princess by grace of God held on till January 2010 she was almost 18. She relied on her sister so much since they were born that it was amazing. I think our love and maybe even getting Maggie right after Patches passed kept her going. She even made it to TN with us and grew to accept Rocky. (Neither her nor Maggie have ever liked Jackie unsure why). I miss you two and I believe I will see you again someday soon!
5. Ending this on a happy note. Rocky & Jackie celebrated their 5th birthday on the 26th. Although we know they were born in June as they both in heat in December as all our June pets in past have (Rainbow, Cocoa my dog and Patches & Princess) we will never know their actual day so we had to make one up. I was going to give them the 25th and then MJ died so we changed to 26th. Its hard to believe we have had them almost 5 years (in Sept). You know God knows plans things we don't understand. A year before we had tried to get two kittens. And then a year later cause God has a sense of humor they were dropped on us. We tried for months to adopt them out but ended up keeping them. I don't regret it. They bring joy to our lives and hearts. And are loved by everyone who meets them. May they have many years with us and not suffer any health issues like our other cats in past...(I can hope right?)
Ending with this...last week I admitted I had a skin problem OCD thing Dermatillomania. If you read this blog and know of any info on how to stop please let me know. I have been scratching myself a lot lately and its starting to hurt again. The only thing I do different is I don't scrub but I manage to daily several times just scratch up there. Sometimes nothing happens sometimes skin or something comes off. Its red and looks wrong. And I don't know how to stop. I do it when I am bored, stressed, tired or just hot. I have no idea how to stop this on my own and I want to stop but for now it seems impossible to stop. So if you know any tips please lmk comment in the blog or msg me on twitter @monkeywriter. Thanks in advance!!
