Life is funny! 1999 which was 18 years ago I got my knee operation that would change my life. Sure my knee was better but never completely well. God works in mysterious ways and I was never healed. I still have a bad knee since I was 19. Just 2 years before that at 17 me and my sister then 14 got jobs our first at the Orange County Fair. I was the quiet one and the boss didn't like me as much as my younger sister. But she somehow talked him into it and he told me this. So we both worked mostly weekends for the 2 weeks the fair in town. Oddly enough in our area now the fair is there a month. But 20 years ago yes I feel old saying that the fair only lasted 2 weeks. Unsure but it might still be shorter for the area I haven't been in a very long time!
1. Worked less this week but not bad. I worked 4 times because I asked for time off I got those plus my usual 1. So I only worked 4 times but not great hours. Next week which I have asked nothing off I am getting the same. I can see I am coming to the end of my grace period where I get hours cause I have a status at work. I know I will get the same status again but hey what can I do? Did I mention I made employee of the month last Sunday? If not I did! God likes to surprise me a lot lately. Employee of the month for June (gift card to starbucks thanks). Plus I won that package of sweet stuff in June which resulted in my free movie. I asked not for either of these God just gave me gifts which I thanked Him for a hundred times. UNEXPECTED blessings! Yeah I applied at Target opening up by us. I am trying to be hopeful and praying for at least an interview. I just want a chance at this store so close to home. I need change. I wish I could get out of retail. One day soon just probably not yet....
2. Did the GYM twice last week. I will do it three times this week. Back to hours where I get to go before work. I had 45min on Monday and over an hour on Friday. I love the GYM no complaints except pain I in on Friday from the two days before. Oh well moving on.
3. Wednesday was our concert I have looked to since I bought the tickets back in March. We saw Tears for Fears & Hall and Oats. Sadly we got lost went to the wrong casino an hour away and missed the first half hour. So that was sadness. But otherwise had fun. There late. Really a good time truly! I will never forget it. I cant forget the stairs we climbed up and down to our seats but that was part of the fun right. But that day turned out way different then thought after we got lost and such.
4. Thursday we did paddle boarding yet again. This time not in the ocean but the Carlsbad Lagoon. That was fun. But the unfun was what we did. You see I have two bad knees. One bad and one kinda bad. I could not stand up. I could not do the whole thing kneeling. The pain was beyond bad. I realized I was in trouble as I tried to follow my sister around the corner way far from shore. I almost fell off or flipped several times. I have never been so scared in my life. Jesus gave me strength. I was saying the verse over and over again as I prayed and came back. I realized the pain from the kneeling two bad knees I thought I was not going to make it. I thought this is it I am going to die right here. Never again. But hey I did try!
5. Went to Comic Con on Thursday too. Kinda a mistake doing both in one day. We got late for the train. The train appeared to be full. God kept us from coming on time too. We went to Del taco the line took forever. Then when we got there train about to go (ironic this happened 4 years ago to the date) and NONE of the machines would take my card. I should have just stopped after 4 machines but the last one did. Like idiots we running not knowing the train full and about to go and off it went. Then we spent 2 hours in the hot car no a/c to get to the mall to ride the trolley. I ate my $14 cause I didn't realize we shouldn't be on the train. God was protecting me and I didn't listen. But we got there eventually. Walked around. Most places closing and by the time we got done and got dunkin donuts it was almost 9:30. We didn't get home till like 11. But had fun. Not doing this again next year too much problems UNLESS we volunteer. Comic Con will be in San Diego till 2020 at least!
Well that is all for now. Lots to say. I got to get ready for work now. Wearing new headphones. Wireless but I cant get the blue tooth to work oh boy. I will work on this. till next weekend last in July have a good one. A more dull week for me but hey its okay. God is good. Talk to you all soon!
