Here we are the last Sunday in January 2014. That is simply crazy. This month has flown by so fast and yet been incredibly slow. So far for this year I am not doing so great on my new years resolutions. I still don’t have a job well more below. So far not liking 2014. Praying for miracles the next 11 months of this year! And moving on…
1. This has been a sour week for me. And I didn’t think it would be sadly. On Monday I called Petsmart (just wrote about this in my UPDATED job blog listed link earlier on twitter) that I had worked hard to go to near two weeks ago. The manager who liked me a lot and even said so when he answered that they would probably know by Wednesday. For 2 days I held onto hope Monday & Tuesday. When Wednesday came I was like maybe he not done deciding yet. Sadly I called on Friday and he can only take on 1 or 2 people and not me. He said check back in a few weeks the hours are slow now but they might change maybe they can set something up. But I kind of need a job like yesterday and I am almost unsure if I will be looking still by then (praying not that is just horribly wrong but who knows!). So I lost that job. Before that I found out not only am I NOT getting unemployment which I find incrediably wrong for them to send me paperwork saying I am after telling me I am not. Its wrong and I hate it and I wont lie the government unemployment sucks. I hate that I have to rely on this. Well they got my letter for appeal which means not only will I not be getting it but if I want to try for it I have to go to court. Which is something I do not want to do and I do not think is worth it. So I am going to call tomorrow have them remove my appeal request. I am just praying now that congress passes the extensions again. I really need this money badly. I had 1.5 checks I lost when this ended on the 28th of December. I know others are hurting too. So praying for miracles but unsure if I will see any results for this before February cutting it so close. So no jobs for me. I keep applying to jobs mind you. Barnes & Noble hasn’t turned me down more recent. I have applied to 8 different job openings at LL. I am hopeful for this not till they turn me down will I not be. So there you go. Please keep me in prayers.
2. Got closer than we have in ages today at starting to organize our stuff in the garage. This will be a LONG process mostly looking in boxes. Deciding to keep or not and repacking them. You are looking at the stuff out there has been there 2.5 years that’s a long time. I haven’t seen most of my stuff since September 2011. Some in storage but that’s still mostly furniture. Since we cant unpack the stuff sadly its more going through it slow and then putting back. And organizing. We wanted to do a huge day of it yesterday but that didn’t happen (we both fell asleep so tired). Today we did go through a few boxes in one pile. I now have some office supplies to keep me happy. I was just beyond thrilled today to find some of my stuff that I used to have at my desk in Arizona in my hands. Ironic it included my index cards because I just bought some more. But hey I can always use them no complaints they aren’t that costly. So yeah hopeful next Sunday we can do a real day of this. We got home too late to do too much but did prevent one huge pile of boxes from falling over and taking everything with them. You have no idea till you deal with it what it is like to have piles of boxes for several years not being moved and stacked wrong. They start to fall apart. This isn’t the only pile to almost fall over we have plenty more. Again will take time and the energy to go out there and find time to do it. So wish us luck ha ha.
3. So this week been spending time with my guitar. I love my acoustic guitar. I got it way back a good 12 plus years ago. I am unsure when I just remember being inspired by the ones used at church and when used with groups like Jars of Clay. I didn’t use it for years sadly just sat there. My sister started to use it then got her own. I took a guitar class at Fullerton Junior College in 2006 till we moved and I had to stop going all together sadly. Anyway I need to work on it some tonight. Trying for a daily time on there. I have this week for homework and playing with it. Class is going well. Our teacher is a hoot he says the craziest stuff I think he is insane like we are but so far love the class. Sure we have no order and no idea what the homework is still. But hey I am trying. Possibly might take another class or two online in March. This is totally up in the air. But if not then I have this and its guitar so there you go. Nice.
4. We did go to our church group this week ago on Friday night 30:40 at NCCC. It wasn’t bad I got something out of it. And that didn’t include the yummy brownies before hand. I am just happy to get out so much now every other week we are keeping this going so well its awesome. And today surprise we came back to OUR church. We haven’t been since Christmas Eve sadly. Month got away from us. So it was nice being back at church. We did a 3rd service which meant no food before and barely coffee. But not bad still glad to be back. I know I don’t talk a lot about my faith on here and this wont be a huge add on. But wanted to say God has been trying to get me to have more faith in Him. Two weeks back during our 30:40 his theme was faith. This time it was about staying on the boat or getting out. I found some peace in this that I didn’t know I needed. I have been spending so much time since we moved out here especially more so since I lost my job in 2012. I know now that I am just in my boat and I need to wait on Jesus and just be at peace. I need to stop freaking out we cant move out again, I cant get married or have kids or a career. When the time is right I will arrive at my next place. Or till then I will be in my boat. It doesn’t matter how long I am in this boat (and if we count our move out here its 2 years 5 months) or what but God will get me there I just need to rely on Him. An on going lesson I will probably be trying to learn my entire time on earth.
5. I would like to proudly announce I have been working out again. Yes can I get a big WOOHOO!! I haven’t worked out since last year and I am unsure at this point when that was. But this week three count them THREE DIFFERENT DAYS I worked out! Monday & Friday I dedicated to a 20 mint Zumba, 10 mint walk, and 6 min bike. And Wednesday my middle day I dedicated to 45 min wiifit, 10 min walk, 6 min bike. This week will not be so much. Only tomorrow & Thursday but yes I am working out!! I love it. The way I felt on Monday tired but happy proved my body wanted to work out all along. I am still coughing like here and there very rare. Think I am near over my 3 week sickness. Yes working out. Yes its great!!
Well I bid the farewell and to you January good day sir I pray that your friends and family after are more kind to me. And we get some rain cause California is in this bad drought. Maybe next weekend might rain some who knows if that will happen shall see. Shall see. Have a good one everyone!!
