I’m in pain yes I am. Hi welcome to working a job for a month plus now. Thanks for coming by! My body isn’t used to this I am still getting used to working again. I need some insoles for my shoes as my back hurts all the time and now my bad ankle and even my toes? Working on my feet even a few hours every other day or so is really an interesting experience after not working for as long as I have…Moving on!
1. Since I just got off a shift I will talk about work somewhat yeah. So this past week I was scheduled for just two days BUT shocking was getting a call Monday. I worked a FULL shift (meaning 8hrs including 1 lunch & 2 small breaks) on Tuesday from 6am-2pm. I did this on NO sleep. I tried for 2-3hrs and got nothing. So it was an exhausting day. Then it was hot as nothing else my walk to the Sprinter my most uncomfortable yet. By time I got on board I was dying and starting to have a heat stroke. I was glad to not work on Wed. I worked two more shifts to finish off my week Thur & Sat. Then I worked today an opening. It was busy as nothing else. Which is good as time flew by and before I knew it was time to get off. However it was also exhausting. I might work well under pressure still but doesn’t mean it doesn’t wear me out. Oh well my job is great no complaints I just need more sleep and better shoes I mean insoles haha!
2. Speaking of yeah heat…well it was SUPER hot again this week. It was VERY hot just two weeks ago. I mean it when I say I will be 100% shocked if this isn’t a sign of a very hot Summer we haven’t had since 2012. Last year we caught a break and had a cooler Summer. I felt the heat every time I tried to not feel it. I barely napped on Tuesday after not sleeping just 2hrs not 3hrs due to the heat. It woke me up earlier then I wanted on Wed, Thur and Friday. It was a long hot week! It was warm on Monday but starting Tuesday till Thursday it was high 90’s inside the house reaching nearly 100 degrees. On Friday & Saturday it began to cool down. And now back to 60’s and mid 70’s this week. So confusing. Maybe back to heat next week? Summer is coming and for us well it’s been here for a while…ah California.
3. I worked out just ONE time last week. ONE time yeah I am sad too. It was on Monday. You see (see below) there was the fires. And the heat (see above) and that combo alone screamed not a good idea to go outside. Friday I was being lazy frankly I was tired and knew I had two more working days Saturday & Sunday. So being lazy and it was still hot out I didn’t even work out just inside. This week (unless I work) I vow to workout at least on Thursday hopefully Tuesday. I know I wont on Saturday but hey I walk to the Sprinter twice more this week. THAT is a workout in itself so I am working out just not so called running/walking with music and dog in tow yup!
4. Well its on my mind still I cant stop thinking about our fires. Yes our BAD AS NOTHING FIRES that began Tuesday night and as far as I know are still burning but mostly contained. First of all I haven’t seen bad fires since 2007. We moved away shortly after. We had an okay fire season in 2011, 2012 & 2013. So I haven’t had a bad fire season in 7 years. But even 7 years ago it was NOT this bad! This was horrible. There was one on Tuesday. And then on Wednesday by days end no less than NINE FIRES were burning! One by Legoland my sister couldn’t work the park was closed so one in Carlsbad, one in Oceanside in our river bed our beautiful trees where the bike path is we haven’t been there in a while but still, two at Camp Pendleton one up in Fallbrook one near us, there was one in Escondido, San Marcos became the worst one. They had one up by El Cajon. At one point the only ones without a fire was Vista. And thankfully it stayed that way. I was able to work my shift on Thursday. But it was so slow. I love San Marcos and Carlsbad it breaks my heart to see cities I love and have ties in burning. I work in Vista, go to church in San Marcos, love Carlsbad and live in Oceanside. I feel so bad and wish I could help the people who have lost everything. And at one point we thought we was going to have to leave home. We had TWO fires by us and then THREE. I had stuff packed. My mom has a friend down the street from us that actually packed their van and took off. It was scary. I was so glad to be okay and make it past that night. This has been a long week full of heat and fires. And the worst part is that they think some if not all the fires were done on PURPOSE! I will never in my life understand someone who can do that to someone. To take away their property their stuff their lives endanger their pets and cars. What is wrong with people? Ugh. This year has been so weird I mean we had fires EARLY (usually October), a horrible drought and an earthquake. Oh and tornados at one point. I mean its safe to say all the natural disasters our area can have now have taken place. We are good thanks, rest of the year take the time off California!
5. This week and a little last week marked 4 years since our trip out here from TN. I remember every detail of our trip. The plane rides to and from. The stuff we did Disneyland, Lighthouse, Torrey Pines, Legoland Sealife, and my cousins wedding. And the impact on us so much we decided to move closer to home and in just 2 months’ time we ended up in Arizona. Life is crazy for sure. I know for my cousin she just had a 2nd baby. And here I sit back in CA nearly 3 years and not near marriage or kids. Like I said…life…
Well I am done now. I want to crash but its kind of late so I will just relax for a bit longer. Hope everyone has a fantastic night and rest of the week. Just one more of these till June. May is flying by. See you next weekend!
