Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 5th 2013)

Welcome to October! Its the best time...oh wait that's not this month...

1. Its hard to believe its been a full year since I did Brick or Treat for LL. In fact I had just worked my first shift at this point last year. They only gave me my first weekend on Saturday not Sunday. But after that the rest of the other 3 weekends I would work Saturday & Sunday. Looking back I cant figure out what I would do different except correct the mistakes I would later be blamed for. I would wear my hat all the time, I would make sure that someone knew about the glow sticks and it wasn't my fault it wasn't stocked right. I cant say I would change the smile thing as I was smiling all the time. That one was truly NOT my fault. I had so much fun doing the event I thought for sure I might like to do it again. But thanks to doing it once and screwing up I cant even work at the park in any form any more. So I wish I had never done it in the first place. I cant change my past so I can just regret it now instead sadly.

2. Wednesday was two things. I had an interview at Walmart that is right by our house. It was an odd interview. First it took them 30 min to take me back. Then the guy acted like he had never done this before. He ended by telling me that he was unsure if they would do a second one "some people wait in the store for a few hours" but they had "15 people to go over so maybe you should go home an we will call you later?" Well they never did. So I am unsure what happened there. I thought I answered the questions fine even if I barley slept. After that odd interview we traveled to Escondido Mall. We ended up staying there a few hours. I mostly dropped off app's I had previously filled out. I also turned in 2 resumes instead of app's as they didn't want app's (these were ones that I had no app for yet). I didn't get app's for a few places I was too tired. But I did successfully apply to at least ten plus people. Then we stayed at Panera Bread for another hour eating, drinking coffee and going online. Sadly I still haven't heard back from B&N its been nearly a month since then. I am thinking its not going to happen anymore. I wont be checking back I figure one time was enough to prove I care. So I am going to just let it be sadly. I need to get on this week getting temp jobs to work at, calling back ones I applied with, applying online some more to places. Plus Wed we are hitting up OUR mall this time the one closest to us.

3. Well Tuesday was two things. The government shut down for the first time since 1995. I was just a teen last time when it happened and I guess it lasted a month. I hope this one that is still on-going doesn't affect my ue I just filed for the past two weeks. Its sad the parks and stuff are closed. Like Yosemite had their 123rd birthday on Tuesday and no one could come see the place :( Also obamacare is now law. And that doesn't make me happy. I cant afford health care and I cant afford the tax either. Just hoping we can get some free stuff before we get fined in 6 months. I am unsure if I will have a tax return at all if I don't get a job before end of year!

4. Well we tried out a new church group this week. It was called 30:40. It was at the Calvary Chapel in Carlsbad. It was interesting for sure. More people then the single group at the Oceanside CC. But this was not as much just single people as people in their 30's and 40's. So I think we might go back in another two weeks. Shall see.

5. Workouts this week have been okay. I did a wiifit on Monday. I skipped Wed cause we out all day (see above). Yesterday I had my reasons for not doing a Zumba. I did however go on a 20 min walk and that was fine with me. So I did workout this week. I am trying to do something every other day I wish I could motivate myself to do something daily even just a walk or something.

BONUS...

6. Pastor Chuck Smith died on the 3rd. It was early in the morning. He was the founder of Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa. He was 86 years and died of lung cancer he fought for 2 years. Even if he had never smoked. I think its really sad still. He was like my pastor for most of my life till 2006. Influence was for so many people. I know he is in heaven but its still sad. I know today they are doing a special home coming service for him. I never thought he would die it was really shocking but at the same time he was doing really bad and was in pain so I am glad he is not in pain anymore.

Till next weekend!
