The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 26th 2015)

Sorry this is late. I wanted to do it early like I usually do but my week was so full that I wanted to include all the details. And my poor hand is still hurting my thumb and all! Sigh. Otherwise doing okay. Tired not super busy lazy summer...

1. Work kept me busy last week NOT really. I only worked twice for real yo. Lately if I ask for a day off they give me hardly anything. So this coming check and my second in August too will be so small. I need a new job please keep me in prayers. I need to get motivated to get one. I only worked twice Sunday and then again on Friday. I asked for Thursday & Saturday off. They tried to call me in on Tuesday when I had plans and both Thursday & Saturday. I would have considered had they tried on Monday or Wednesday but NO they chose the days requested or the one I had plans. Bummer all around. Repeating last Summer for hours not cool. IDK how I can get less hours when I am open all the time then I do for school when I am limited to just 3 or 4 days... anyways

2. It has been a hot hot Summer for past few weeks. To the point where it is sometimes hard to stay asleep past a certain time. I am all for putting the bigger fan in my room if I have to sleep. While it sucks when I cant sleep in its nice to not be trying to sleep half the day in this heat. This is NOT like 2012 or 2014 when it was very hot months and months. And we get rain too its so odd. Wonder how fall will be we need the rain but the heat no thank you!

3. Thursday did the Adventure Run again for free in Carlsbad. Got super late due to my sisters car oil change taking nearly 3 hours (they were busy but still it was annoying how they made us wait a good 30min longer cause they dumb and couldn't figure out to back the car out when the car in front of it wasn't done yet but ours was NOT COOL!). We did take my dog which was fun. She is awesome. She was more active then me. We decided to not go to a lot of places for tickets cause of how exhausting it was but then I hurt my foot some how (still hurts) and went to one less place. Still had fun. Didn't win anything neither of us did. My dog was the life of the race everyone loved her :) After we did Blaze Pizza again just sat outside and she sat in a chair. She was nervous at first but I think being with us and knowing it wasn't a bad thing even if the crowds made her nervous she liked that. A guy even said to us at the pizza place that she was well behaved he wished his dog was (dog was with him there and in the race too). Sadly cant do these runs anymore this year. I have classes starting in August on Thursday nights so there you go... but at least we did 2 not bad for us!

4. Tuesday was an interesting day even if we got a late start. A first in forever a day with the girls. Mom, my sister and me went up to La Jolla. First we hit up Nordstorms got some ice storms (Frappe's) we missed having. Then we went to the cove and walked on the beach and got close up to some seals. It was fun. Not fun was the traffic on the way home, stopping at a starbucks to use restroom before home and van got hit (not a bad dent just small but still) and of course sunburns from being outside 1.5hrs during the prime sunburn times without block cause we forgot it. Still fun day glad we did it

5. Saturday was going to be a way different day then turned out. We were going to do the LA Zoo then Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach with my sisters friend. Then her friend bailed. So we found out the aquarium cheaper 5-8 just $15 so we planned to go there after seeing our cousin. Sadly traffic was HORRIBLE we were in it nearly 3 hours from here to orange county. So we missed seeing her. And only got to the aquarium for 2hours. But we still had fun. Ate at Chili's for the only second time in my life that I can recall (last time was in AZ in 2011). Not bad food. Came home and bed late exhausted day.

That's all for now. Last one of these for July. Cant believe we are at the end of the month, Summer is half way over and I still haven't bought myself a container of ice cream. What is up with that? Keep my Rainbow in prayers vet visit again on Thursday this week (more about that next Sunday) checking same stuff as last month. Getting a pee sample wont be fun. Have a nice week. I work more and am busy but alright. See you in August!!!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 19th 2015)

I write this with a new handband on my right wrist. I am trying to heal my right thumb that mysteriously started hurting and acting odd last week. I got this so I can be okay and it is finally helping. Hoping that it will be better soon. Its no fun. Whether its from work or what idk why it is hurting like this. Hands are so sensitive!

1. Workouts not really this week. Managed a small walk but it was a busy week. Weather has been hot enough. And chances for rain came this weekend too. Crazy stuff. But its July there you go.

2. Work has been BUSY this past week. I was only scheduled for 4 days Sunday, Tuesday, Friday & Saturday. Monday I got a call extra hours. I extended my shift on Tuesday and got another Thursday? 5 days wow been a while! So I worked a busy week and I am happy about that.

3. School added one more class for Mira Costa. I also bought a book. Slowly getting them. I plan to begin my 2 rentals by beginning of August since classes begin Aug 17th and Aug 24th. I'm excited yet nervous taking so many haha school!

4. Speaking of school its been 7 years since I graduated from CSB and I still don't have a career going. Hopeful my new school classes and past learning will lead to a job soon but at this point I have no idea when. Crazy how its been 5 years ago that we moved from TN to AZ. Remembering that trip this week. From TN to AZ what a difference. So much changed so much happened. Our crazy hot state.

5. Monday we went to Coronado Island and had some fun. Went to the beach for a little bit. Then walked to the hotel and walked around there. It was a nice fun change relaxing day. Especially since the rest of the week was exhausting from work and such. Glad we had that day. Much fun if you ever can and are out here go visit even if you cant stay ($1500 a night kinda pricey lol)

That's all for now. Hope you all have a nice week. Just one more of these for July. This week promises to be very busy for me. I don't work much but lots of stuff going on days when I am not working and such... stay cool and see you soon!!!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 12th 2015)

Hey again. Hope you are having a great month of July and a nice Summer. Our weather has been so odd it is almost Spring like. Its still warm but not hot. And sometimes its actually cold at night. So weird for us. Especially since last year and years before we had heat spells by now. Will be interesting to see if this continues through rest of the Summer...

1. Work has been going alright. I won another gc from starbucks by a chance drawing. Which was nice. I feel they like me at work which is nice. And I got some shifts this week 4 total. But it still is a struggle and I need more hours and I am running out of free time. I give them my new schedule for school in 1 week as it could take up to a month to go into affect. So there you go. What can I do?

2. I didn't do any real workouts this week but I did some walks. I went on a walk on Monday and another on Tuesday. Sadly on Tuesday my dog seemed to be in pain from her arthritis or something and we cut the walk short. I did ride the bike some too. I wanted to do a real workout inside on Wednesday before work but I didn't sleep well so it just did not work out. Hopeful for some real workouts soon or maybe some hikes. You never know!

3. Went for a drive by the beach on Thursday night. Was the closest been to the beach in months so it was pretty nice. Beautiful evening cool not hot out. Saw the water and such. I know I went on the 23rd of June so there was that but it was not a drive just a walk around the harbor and not that close to the water. Perks of living in a beach town where the ocean is 10 min from home.

4. Comic Con is this weekend. Today is the last day of it. I am kinda sad we decided to not volunteer. Maybe they wouldn't have treated us so badly. Or maybe they would have. I joke we could try again next year but we would be back on the wait list and not be able to just volunteer like last year. It would be like 2013 all over again. I guess we can see where we are next year and such and decide then. Although you have to decide early they start the volunteer stuff in February already so shall see. But yeah if you went lucky you! If not then like me just watch from the side. And wish for going again or the first time...

5. Just registered for a few online classes at MiraCosta. I am not doing any in person. I have 2 I am for sure taking and 3 wait list. I doubt will get in those I am not pushing. I wanted the career one so not doing that does suck. But hey I tried. And 2 isn't so bad. So with my 16 at Palomar and my 4 at MCC I am taking 20 insane units. 3 online and 4 in person. Just a month and a week to go... woohoo!

Well that is all for now. Hope you all have a great week. And see you next weekend. Just 2 more of these for this month so this is my half way point update :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 5th 2015)

Welcome to July! I woke with a sore throat today really hope its not a sign of being sick. Just a sign that I shouldn't lay next to a fan when its cooler out. Oddly enough it still says 79 inside like when I went to bed its just cloudy so I don't know what the deal is there. It doesn't feel cold. I am super tired too so that could be it...

1. Its been hot out like Summer out. And then on Tuesday we had a real storm for like half hour. Thunder, lightning and rain. Then it back to normal. I miss thunder storms like from TN and AZ and so that was really cool. That's California for you warm and sunny one minute back to this the next and sometimes some rain. Still in our drought so we can use anything we can get. No complaints! I did a real workout on Tuesday and I was gonna Thursday than I slept bad. I did on Tuesday a wiifit age 29 awesome and lost a 1lb since I last on a few weeks ago. It was not bad. Got a walk in both Tuesday & Thursday. So that was good. I need to do something if I am ever to get in shape again. And when I can I feel good after sorta but sore too haha


2. Took Rainbow to the vet on Tuesday wasn't fun for her or me. But good news is her kidneys so far are doing okay and she is getting better some ways like her blood pressure is lower. However they want to have me bring her back again at end of this month for the same check up. And I have to bring a pee sample I have no clue how I will get this. They may just have to get it themselves because that just might not happen. I appreciate the continued prayers for my little one I love her a lot!

3. Work is going alright. Just hours suck. Much like last year I thought they would improve. I hope they actually got my new schedule its odd how they don't give me more hours and what I get was what I had them before. I cant do anything about it. I give them my new one on the 20th of this month so I cant do a thing about that sadly. What can I say.

4. July 3rd marks the 11 years since we closed our doors for good to B&N. I will never forget that job, what it meant to me or the people I met. Sadly I am only still in contact in any form (aka facebook) with like 5 of those people from there. I wonder where the others are. I had no last names so finding them if I ever wanted to would be near impossible sadly. Also marks 19 years since my mom lost her sister which is my cousins mom. Mom remembers and will never forget that day and neither will I. Cancer sucks!

5. July 4th yesterday and we did something small. I did work of course. Last year I was lucky to be off. We got off okay time. So we rushed down to San Clemente. I know we didn't make the beach that wasn't gonna happen. But we did find a hill and watch some fireworks it was a fun time for sure. And hey we got to Denny's quicker and back home faster than the beach. Plus fireworks up close are just loud. I mean it was fun at the beach and might do again sometime but it was nice on a hill. My hearing is so sensitive.

Well that is all for now. See you all next weekend. Have a good week!!
