Welcome to July. And 4th of July weekend at that. Happy Birthday America! Hope the month is treating you well so for. And you are enjoying your weather and life in general. I cant believe we like half way through the Summer. This is my last full month before back to school next month. Yikes! But we can also go back to going back to Disneyland next month so that is a good thing for August :) Goal is to go at least once a month to use our passes ;)
1. I was reminded by Facebook its been 7 years since I got locked out of our apartment in TN. It was not a fun night btw. Getting a boot on the car. Not being able to get in the car or the apartment or even use a phone cause we had none. I'd like to dedicate that night to ADD at its highest. Hello. It turned out okay. We learned to lock our window better in the town house something we had not been doing didn't know how. It was funny me pushing my way in the apartment I couldn't believe I FIT under the desk and through that window. I am not a small person but I am short so I guess fitting not an issue. Pushing over a heavy chair full of books and scarying the crap out of my cat who was right there bonus points. Look on my sisters face when she thought I went in with a key an found out I had done what I had done was pretty darn funny. Her hero the guy from the insurance telling off the boot guy to get the boot off. Yeah about that all. Wont forget it.
2. Finally did the Del Mar Fair again this year. Honestly was unsure if we were going to make it. Not only was it hard coming up with the money to get there $17 for the train/coaster to get inside but money for while there. But somehow with my largest and still only large check this Summer I got the money and we went on Tuesday no less. Took the 3:32 coaster down, got off by the fair took a bus in. We were there from 4:30 till 9. But in that short period of time did a lot. Spent first half hour getting 4 different food samples for $3 each splitting each one so each spent $6. Then we goofed off in the Mad Hatter Alice area (the theme this year was Alice in Wonderland). Saw the pig races finally tried but missed last year. Year before we saw the turkeys instead. Okay then we had dinner split that. Greasy food it was kinda good but left us feeling funny. And the girls working there were not so nice. Rode our favorite sky ride back and fourth $4.50 cheaper than I recall. Got a funnel cake then made our way back to the bus. Then realized we on the wrong side of the park and had to pretty much run the second half of the fair grounds in 5 min and barely made the bus about to leave. Then rode the Amtrak home a first. They are so smooth btw so beautifully smooth it was so fun! Yup.
3. Worked a lot this past week. But not a lot of hours. There you go. Its truly unfair. I am unsure what to do about it. I will put it in my memoir someday that I should be working on. But other than that just look for another job. I cant save any more money for my dogs heart thing and know I will be putting the majority on my credit card. She needs it and I am about of time. She should have had it done last month. I need to find out if her meds are working or if she needs new ones. I'm not expecting miracles anymore my job has made it clear I get the left over hours from the ones given to those they like. Sigh. So I worked 5 days at around 22 sad hours. This week is the same. Next week back to 12 when I am not in school. Like I said new job before school I NEED to make that happen. I cant keep doing this. My UE is gone by end of July. They might help me out for this past two weeks but not much maybe $10. Will take it if they give it but not counting on much.
4. The 28th marked 24 years since the Landers Earthquake that rocked us crazy. I wont forget it even if I was 12 at the time. It woke me up and I stood there watching our light go out. I was on the top bunk and fell well jumped off to watch it. Later like 6 week later we got our first cats as kittens Patches & Princess found out no joke they shared a birthday with the earthquake. Joked how the mom had them probably cause of it imagine. But yeah I miss our girls a lot. Happy Birthday in heaven.
5. Today marks 20 years since my moms sister our cousins mom died. She had cancer. Cancer is a b truly. It takes a lot of our loved ones form us. Most of my relatives of recent we lost to it. And pets too if you think about it. My cousins cat just died last week to you guessed it cancer. Well today also marks 12 years since I said good bye to Barnes & Noble. I worked at that store almost 4 years. Spent most of July tearing it down. I couldn't find a job till August I was there till the end. That job got me through high school, was a true dream working at a bookstore. I made friends. Sure it was stressful causing me to develop panic attacks. It got me some good friends a few I am still in contact with. A crush that didn't go away for a while. It got me a lot. I loved that place. When we sometimes go by the mall I look over see whatever store there now. I wonder how different life would have been had it not closed. I was gonna go full time with them and save to move out to Los Angeles. That was my plan. Then they closed for good just 2 months after I finally graduated college.
Well that is all for now. Have a happy 4th of July. And a safe week. See you next one. And stay cool my friends!
