Welcome to 2017. I write this just minutes before the new year. But wish you all a happy new year. May 2017 be better then 2017. Then again the bag law goes into full affect. And we have a new President so there is that unhappy to begin with news...
1. Christmas was not the best time for sure. I mean it. I love Christmas not so much this year. My youngest sister opened just one gift, mine, which she loved. She didn't open her new ones. My uncle on his meds got so upset to his stomach that he couldn't eat. So he didn't eat with us, my parents ate in a fast speed then took off to take him home a good 1hr 15min away. No kidding. It was fun when we joined my cousin and her husband at Dennys. That was fun not much else. Day after we got lots of calendars I did and that was a good use for my gift money
2. Work was busy this week. I worked 5 days. The hours weren't super great but they were still hours. Of course with Christmas didn't work on Sunday. But still I did work lots this week openings and closings. And ended the new year like I did tired long but okay.
3. My hand issues came back stupid carpal tunnel. Every few months it seems they come back to haunt me. I should be doing my hand exercises but I don't. And they haunt me badly. The pain so horrible. It went on for nearly 3 days. And still is sore but not like that. Ugh stupid issue.
4. Its been 4years as of the 28th since I got fired from Hickory Farms. 2012 was a horrible year for me job wise. LEGOLAND kicked me off them twice. And then I was suspended for no reason involved in the stealing of cash. I lost 3 weeks of work and began my unemployment as 2013 began. I will never forget that job. it was fun and then suddenly it was a nightmare.
5. I did the GYM twice this week both alone. I did it on Wednesday before work for an hour. It was fun. Then I did it yesterday Saturday after work for like 35min. I was so tired from work that was all I could do. But still glad to be back at the GYM again.
well that is all I can think of. School online again for one class this week. Real school begins in 1 month. Happy 2017. Share the love. Be careful out there. See you next week!!
Every weekend I write down the top 5 things that happened to me from the week it ends on (usually Sundays). Stole/borrowed the idea from author Sarah Dessen. Very fun!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 25, 2016)
Merry Christmas everyone!! And since this is my last post for 2016 WOW crazy. Happy New Year! This has been one crazy year for us not a lot of good lots of not so great. Month and days that dragged on. Then sped up there at the end.
1. Did the GYM twice last week. Both times were at the one by my job, alone and before I began my later closing shift. Not a bad time. Sure was in pain after. But that is in part because I am out of shape again not just cause I doing it before work as well.
2. My poor dog issues continued this week. She is now on new meds as needed and went through a 2 day trial. Proof the meds work but they also make her stomach upset. So there is a no win here I guess. Either way she is back to coughing some but not so bad needed the meds again.
3. Work this week not so busy. I only did 5 days but I had 2 that were later closings. Even with us closing late. I don't know if this will keep going on and on like this. I need a new job asap. Stop waiting around to find one!
4. My birthday was on Tuesday I turned 37. I wanted to go to la jolla cove see the pelicans and such. Then lunch at Red Robin. However that was out while back. So did Dennys with my sister. Then later lunch at Red Robin bad traffic going over. Walked around the mall. Later saw Fantastic Beast for the 3rd time excellent. I cant forget the 19th marked 18 years since my knee popped out of place before I done with work at my first toy store job. That led to 3 weeks of a knee wrap, getting fired, therapy, a lawsuit, surgery, therapy most of 1999, quitting college, computer school, back at school new major. One event can change your life!
5. We had such a big storm for days thought it would never end. Began late Tuesday night and was going off and on all the way through today (Sunday). Glad for small breaks like on Friday so I could ride the Sprinter. Gone for now hurrah
Well that is it. Few more days and we can kiss this awful year good bye. 2016 you suck. Truly, Please 2017 be better. See you next year. Have a good one and a good rest of your Christmas Day!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 18th 2016)
Welcome to the second to last one of these FOR THIS YEAR! Hard to believe this crappy year is almost done. I am mind you not that looking forward to 2017. A new president I don't like. Oh and plastic bags will be charged for at our store too. I thought we escaped that. At least I can now tell guests we "don't charge yet" and not just "never" which was my original I thought out idea. Sigh.
1. School this week is done. And I am done now for 2 weeks. I have one maybe two classes online only. This week I had my finals one online and one in person. The one online I did it got an A after 3 tries. My mid term I only got a C after two times. Then after my project I will get an A in one class. Unsure about the other. I turned in my final project late getting up to a 45 not a 50. And then once my final graded. Just hoping I can pull a C in this class. Please yes please. So school is done finally
2. Work this week busy to the max. Lots of full shifts that were long and exhausting. But half of them were not closings. I didn't clean 3x and only closed 2x total. Next week and the following back to mostly closings with like 1 or 2 none. Yup
3. Disneyland last time for this year. We went to Disneyland and California adventure. First we discovered a dunkin donuts in garden grove inside a lodge. How awesome it would be to stay there. Indoor water park. Stayed at the park later then planned and came around the same time as week before. My weeks are blending. Never went twice in a row like that. So good times see you next year
4. My poor Rainbow has a bad thing where her throat is having issues. this explains the cough she has had all year long. Something older dogs get. Very sad. I am trying to not freak her out. Or get her excited but this isn't easy because she gets excited on her own. I love my little Rainbow so much
5. Rain and wind filled our Friday and Friday night. Nicer day on Saturday. But still had rain plenty of it. What we lacked last Winter and Fall is happening now. There you go
well few more days I wont be 36 anymore. Secret to this is: I don't feel most of the time my age. I don't look it. And so its hard to believe how much closer I am to 40 then I was last year or year before.
Till next Sunday Christmas & last one of these for the year. Have a good one everyone.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 11th 2016)
Trying to not keep doing this late! I try so hard and get so busy. I will try harder next weekend. How are you doing? How was your week? Mine was super busy but hey its okay that way :)
1. Work has kept me busy per usual. I had my bumps as they go here and there. Like Saturday my dad had an ER issue that was from Friday that had me going to work an HOUR late. I never do this btw so doing this at all makes me sad. I rarely call out. Twice now and been there almost 3 yrs in April next year. I am never later then allowed (7 min or more is bad). He is okay btw I do not get bloody noses that often so this was scary for him cause he does not get them that often either. But work is busy. More busier this week I in now. Whenever I ask for time off they of course lower my hours. But since I got my special star my hours are over 20hrs. It pays to do this and I continue to work hard to keep this status till I can get a new job.
2. School is almost done. This is my last week next week I mean. I am still working on final projects and finals next week. Yikes to this. One more week. Then a small break. I have 1 or 2 online classes that begin on January 3rd before my regular ones start up end of January. This late start thing means that I will be in school well into May for Spring semester. Sometimes I am over school and just want a job. But my inability to get anywhere in life (which leads to my sometimes depression) and my ADD whatever the reason is just no fun. Why cant it be so easy for me as it is everyone else it seems...
3. My sisters 34th birthday was on the 6th. Grateful to have it off work since I could not get it off last year. First we did Norte's Mexican food place so good haven't been in forever. Never at this time of year fun. Then we did the Museum of Making Music. It was fun but not what we expected. Glad we had a deal because probably wont be back. It was small and for sure not like country music hall of fame our last music place. We did see Fantastic Beast again but not till Friday too tired to do it after those two on her birthday. Count down to my 37th is less than 2 weeks!
4. On Wednesday we did Disneyland and California Adventure which was fun. Got a late start. Didn't get there till like 2pm and stayed till 12am. Exhausting long day. But rode Tower of Terror one last time and cars ride. Disneyland we did a lot more rides. Some not so much fun as they should have been. And man are they pushy at Firework time blocking off parts of the park which I get but they made us leave the bathroom due to a fire hazard? Really? Doing again this week remind me to NOT be there when this goes on. Geez
5. Made the GYM last week so happy! Idk when can go again. But paying $20 this month having not gone in a month not fun. I love the GYM but now I am not in GYM shape anymore so that was not easy and I was in a hurry. But still had fun. No complaints
The 5th marked 15 years since my first dog Cocoa went to heaven. I miss my girl sometimes simple times and the life I had with her. I love Rainbow mind you a lot and do not look forward to repeating losing another dog. I believe pets go to heaven. I will see her one day again soon. Love & miss you girl! Count down to my birthday is 1 week, 1 day. Yikes! Enjoying last days of my 36th year best I can. See you all next weekend hopefully on time. Have a good one

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 4th 2016)
Welcome to December! Sorry again for being a day behind on these. I am usually right on top of it but been so busy it is hard to just sit down do this and have the energy to do so!
1. Our weather is so crazy past few days. At last cold enough or blankets at night then really cold outside like freezing. And then during the day warm enough to feel like Spring. I am so confused. I could be wearing a tank top during the day and freezing soon as the sun drops. Tonight I was walking from work to starbucks a less than 5 min walk at 7pm and I could hardly feel my face or anything time I got there. And I was in a jacket and sweatpants! The only thing exposed was face, hands and toes. Ugh. But its nice at night its easier to sleep when I can because it is so much easier to be warm when cold then cold when warm. My body is so weird.
2. I am still sick. 2 weeks ago I got a sore throat. I thought two days ago it was going away. Yet at work today and yesterday my nose so stuffy I am like I thought I was OVER this? Am I not OVER this? Just go away. It never turned into anything else but at the same time its worse then just allergies. I am used to blowing my nose all the time but this is down right a cold still and its just no fun
3. School this week no fun. I did my final project spent 7hrs on it total working so hard. Only to get a C on it a 78 out of 100. That is just so lame. I was getting perfects in all my discussion boards. The moment we began this project bad grades. I got a perfect on the proposal. But the draft which was nothing but an outline because I had no idea what I doing I got 35 out of 50. I thought for sure I would get 90 to 100. She claims after I do some comments and try to improve some stuff she might update my grade. MIGHT. She does not get out how hard it was to do just this one time. Improve it? Really? In the end I will just do comments and try to do good on the final. I am working so much, and doing so much when not working and still have stuff for my other class. I am just over this semester in general
4. NaNoWriMo I already miss the fun I was having writing my verse novel. I might do it again next year. It was just a blast. Probably a crappy book but so much fun. I came in under 60K. It really was down to the wire to put it online. I finished it almost a week early but didn't want that to be my final word count. Then waited too long to type up the first 3 days worth. And I had work so much last week. Just fitting it all it all in nope
5. Work has been SO BUSY! I worked 5 days last week coming in around 33hrs at least maybe more. My check this week will be the biggest I have gotten in forever. The next one not so much. I hope they give me my birthday off. I asked for it off as I did my sisters. I got hers off. I am really not into turning 37 in two weeks. But as always I will take it in stride try to hide and pretend I am okay turning this age when I am truly not. Getting older sucks
well that is all for now. I feel icky to the tummy. not enough sleep stressed out and just want to relax when I cannot. I will try to get this up earlier next weekend but no promises! Have a good one see you then!
