The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 31st 2017)

Welcome to the last one of these not just for December but for 2017! Wow! Where did the year go? What an odd year. I cant recall it all in one entry but maybe someday I will. I just finished putting together my 5 year journal. I finish this one for this year today when I post this. I have never done this what an accomplishment it is!

1. Christmas Eve we made church for real so HAPPY! Then I went back home to chill. My sister went to work. I later went to work for like 3.5hrs. Once off half the stores closed early I went to Carls Jr then came home. My sister got me and we hung with my cousin till like 2am it was way fun. I miss hanging with her. Nice time!

2. Merry Christmas it was. I miss my uncle still sad he gone :( So it was an odd day. My sister didnt work first time ever. So we got up later. Had fun opening gifts. Helped make dinner. Then ate really late. Pie and chilling. I got cash, gifts, fun. I have plans. And days after on Tuesday we got calendars not best selection. I had to buy 3 I wanted online. Ugh. But got what I wanted best I could do it.

3. Work is alright. I worked just 5 days per norm. I had Christmas off and Wednesday too. But yeah it fine I guess. I had to shop for my shopping on Tuesday night after work after not working Friday & Saturday and with them closing early on the 24th.

4. GYM did it finally been a few weeks. I am still sick so it was not easy working out but I tried and did it some. There ya go. Nice gym time

5. Wednesday went to Legoland for 3hrs was fun seeing the Christmas stuff. I love Christmas time and already miss all this stuff now done and gone. Then we saw "The Greatest Showman" that night. It was fun. I love that movie very great musical go see it.

Well Happy New Year 2018! Next time I write it will be a new year new month new so much. With school in a month and plenty of time to work on my radio show ideas and clean. I need to get cracking since soon as the new year done my holiday fun is over. We get to do Universal Studios this week I cant wait. I do work next 2 days but off for 2 after. See you all next year. God bless you all!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 24th 2017)

Welcome welcome! Happy Christmas Eve. And Merry Christmas as it is tomorrow but that will be on my update for next week :) Hard to believe we have just ONE week left of 2017. I am about to do something I have never done before: finish a 5 year journal. This is my 3rd time doing a 5 year and my 1st time EVER completing one. I have to work on my lines for 2018 since I am running out of time and bought it months ago. But I must say if you got the time to give a journal a try with very little room to write so you are just literally saying what you did that day. TRY IT. So fun! I am SO happy I am accomplishing this. Usually my journals end with severals days months blank and I am like what happened that day? But looking back each year over what I did that day is so cool! Just saying still time to try this for 2018 as I will too!

1. Out of school now and waiting to hear back about my radio debut possibly in the Spring. I have been pre approved whatever that means. But I am so excited if I get a show. It is hard to plan this show since I am unsure when it happening if it is. I think I will get to do a show just unsure when. Fingers crossed for Fridays as I am not doing anything school wise and would just mean I could not work till later in the day which I usually do anyways. So will keep you all updated

2. The 19th marked 19 years since my left knee popped out of place 1 hour before midnight of my 19th birthday. Weird. So many 19's in that sentence. Hard to believe next year will be my 20th anniversary of this big event LIFE CHANGING event. And also in June my 20th high school reunion. I feel old lol but age is just a number it really is. You are only as old as you feel and sometimes look. So there you go. My knee started hurting bad on Tuesday I am like what are you feeling the vibes of 19 years ago? I truly do worry should the world still be around one day I will have to get knee replacement surgery cause that knee is never gonna be the same and my right knee likes to mock it sometimes and act bad too. I am like nope I am not gonna get another knee operation on you. Oh boy.

3. Work this week was really short. I swear I didnt ask for my birthday off just got it off cause I am tech not able to work Monday or Wednesdays and never changed it. Then they went and gave me off Friday and Saturday. So I spent that time making cookies. But as of writing this still haven't wrapped my gifts. My last ones came today and so I am excited about that. And the tree is kinda decorated now too. Very last minute this year. Blame the fire on that one swear we were talking trees when we got evacuated so they go it so late. But yeah work is fine. I worry still about the company and our store please say it won't close and if so not while I am there. I don't want it to close even if I am not there. This is Borders all over again no matter what sigh :(

4. Monday we went to the San Diego Zoo with my family. Yeah we left late too. Got there at like 3. They let my Youngest sister in for free again cause she is mentally not there so nice. We gave our parents our 2 free tickets from our pass. We there till 8pm. Saw a few animals. Rode 2 different buses. Saw the lights. Had fun. Yes it was a blast. Exhausting but fun

5. Wednesday I turned 38. I must say every even year going into a even year brings mixed feelings for me. I love even numbers. So I am excited bout 2018. I gotta work on my New Years resolutions. But God gave me lots of surprises on my birthday. Our family after my sister and me did Dennys in the morning met up in La Jolla. Went to the cove it kinda cold. Then Red Robin. Got my free Starbucks drink. Ended night with sister in downtown San Diego for Global Winter Wonderland. But it rained for real so we kinda wet but wanted to see it I did pay for this. Got dunkin donuts before heading home. I am over it now but raining was kinda mean. Oh well. So I am 2 years now from 40. I will get back to you on my thoughts when we get closer to that haha

well I am still sick. I have been now sick for 1 week 3 days. Ugh. I work more this week days unsure on hours. And yes we are now circling the last few days of 2017. How was your year? I might do a wrap up next weekend but no promises. See you all then. Again Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas Eve. Jesus is the reason for our season and not Santa Claus okay. God Bless!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 18th 2017)

Sorry this late! Hope you having a great December. We are now speeding towards the end. As I write this we are 1 week from Christmas Eve and 2 weeks from New Years Day. That means kids we are just about 12 days away from end of the year! wow 2017 you have been crazy

1. I am sick again. yup. It seems this time of year when I am done with school my body finally realizes all the stress it was put under and it crashed. Since that lines up with my Birthday it means me being sick on my bday. I am trying to be okay with this and not complain. Yup. But yeah I am sick blah. Odd is how often I have been sick this year. I am normally sick maybe twice a year. I am on my I believe 5th time of being sick with a cold/ cough. Not counting my stomach flu in May.

2. No gym last week. My only day off I spent doing lots of random stuff around the house. And sleeping in. I felt sick on Wednesday night already so Thursday my only day off was spent sleeping and doing nothing. I do vow to actually do stuff this break since I don't begin school till Jan 29th. But if I don't start soon time will fly and nothing will be done.

3. School is DONE! I did my last online crap on the 10th for my class. And finished my radio class on Wednesday. I am now possibly doing a radio show in the Spring. Something I didnt plan on but I think is gonna happen. It depends if my manager accepts my app and can find a spot for me. But he liked me enough and I am sure I got at least a C in my radio class. Geez I hope I got a B. Unsure about an A but I tried so very hard did all the homework. I only missed class twice both for a class thing. I never actually wasn't there for class I never missed once but I did miss parts of class for projects. I tried so hard. Lets be hopeful. Unsure when will know but hopefully soon.

4. Work busy but not as much as the week before. Then again the week before I lost hours cause of the fire. Blah. But yeah busy. But gladly work less this coming week so that great

5. Well the fires are still burning but thank God they haven't come back to our area. The one by us got put out much sooner than planned. I believe it was well put out by mid last week. Originally they said it could burn till after my birthday. Oh boy

Speaking of which. I turn the big 38 in just 2 days since I am a day late with this. Yikes a b! As I get older age really just becomes a number. But I have to admit the closer I get to my next decade the more unsure I am about anything. But God has got this. And that is all I need to know. If God is for us who can be against us? For real :) Till next weekend see you. I won't be 37 anymore so this is my last 2 days...

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 10th 2017)

Welcome and hello again from Oceanside. More below! I was going to go to church today I could have but I am battling being sick and with one week left of school it is like why body why? I was getting sick on Thursday already and then got what happened below and well its getting worse. Ick.

1. School going alright. I am almost done. I have loads of homework due tonight for my online class. Radio I did my radio show last week as in my 1 hour on the air was so nervous was gonna die. I was not clever I tried to be. I am like still deciding how it works and if I should try to do this show in the Spring. I guess I can sign up and decide later and such. Or talk to the manager and my teacher and how it works. Can I do this at least once a week? A real show? Where I put my shows on the air. Or should I just say good bye to radio forever and let it drift away in the wind? I am praying about this and if it is the right thing it WILL work out but it was nerve racking for real

2. My sister celebrated her latest birthday. Now mine is coming up fast. Like in a week and 3 days. I will be gulp 38. This has been SOME year for me and us in general. So much has happened. Things I never dreamed would happen. And things I knew would happen. And so on. What a year. But yeah happy birthday little sis. We had to go to school so truly the only thing we did on her birthday was dinner at the Spaghetti Factory it was really yummy!

3. Welcome back GYM! Went on Tuesday for the first time in two weeks. My job thankfully giving me lots of full shifts meant no gym time. My only time last week but good to be back even for just one day. Yes

4. Work is going alright. I had lots of hours last week and then lost two of my days. Truly not fun. But it had to be done. I could NOT help it. That is 3 call outs for me for 1 year. I rarely call out. I spent 2016 call out free and now have done it 3x this year. Oh well hope I will have a new job soon and this won't matter

5. Well I saved the biggest news for last. We got evacuated from our home on Thursday night. I went to work watching a fire burn far from us I thought. Not knowing it would be the last time I would see our house till Saturday night. The fire burning on the border of Oceanside and Bonsell (sp?) called the Lilac Fire. It is now contained at 60%. Well it got kinda bad. We went from almost the warning zone which is like a watch for a tornado it could come so be cautious. To a mandatory pretty fast. My poor sister barely off doing stuff at school. I think she didn't work did she? I cant recall. Well she had to buy a carrier for our other cat. At that time we not even in the warning area yet. We suddenly jumped to mandatory around 8:30pm. I was off work at 9:30 I had been there since 2. My sister got my parents out and we all came to get me from work in 2 cars. At almost 12am we left for San Diego closest we could get was by the airport and it filled up fast. We got there around 3am and went to bed at 6am. We slept there for 2 days. The area got changed to warning around 7pm on Friday night. But we stayed till Saturday afternoon leaving last night. My parents left hours before. WE are still in the warning area it has not changed. But the winds are calm today nothing like Thursday the most powerful they have ever seen EVER seen. The fire is now at 60% it was 50% last night when we left the area. But could burn till the 21st just after my birthday. My sister is joking she had a nice birthday something was going to happen after no joke. 24hrs after we were eating dinner we were being told to leave our house. They call btw they call on the phone twice they called. My parents freaking out what to bring we are not an organized family. Had the house burned we would have lost a lot. Our stuff in boxes. This is pushing my sister and me during the break to truly go through our crap and get it organized so IF this heaven forbid ever happen again we could get it all out. Yeah about that. But God is in control. I refused to back down. Even as I cried saying God is good. It was not easy. But God is still good He is still in control. This felt out of control but it was 100% and still is in His hands. I trust Him. I trust in Him who can see tomorrow and has it all laid out. God is still in control!

Well that is all friends. This week and next are hopefully less exciting. But the zoo and birthdays and we are wrapping up our yea r. Being evacuated my first ever will be added to my odd things of this year but it ended at least for us good. Many prayers for the fireman as they continue to battle our fire and 5 others burning in the state. Pray for California we are not out of the woods yet but God is still in control. God bless you all see you all next weekend!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, December 3rd 2017)

Welcome to December. This has been SOME year for me! How about you? Crazy we are rounding up to the bottom half and for some reason towards the middle there was a slow down. Now we are almost to Christmas. Thinking about New Years and such. My birthday is 3 weeks away the big 38! I know crazy. Some days I feel like a million bucks but most days I feel my age tired all the time. And my being sick is no fun but God is in control in the end and I trust Him for the final say on my last days on this earth :)

1. School welcomes you back with a bump bump. Got late on Monday so had to do my commercial on Wednesday. I ended up missing class to do that and my news. Then just stayed did my news. My teach liked my commercial they listened in class. Thanks I did that very fast! I am working on my script for my up coming podcast my first EVER! I have always wanted to do one. I am testing out doing celeb ones been wanting to for a while since I stopped doing my celeb updates. So this will be called CELEB UPDATES! It has to be 8 minutes long. This week I might record it tomorrow or I will next Monday. We have 2 weeks left of school. Trying not to get nervous about my radio debut on Wednesday for my hour long show. The station manager seems to like me. So they might let me on in the Spring with my own show. I have decided see how I do on Wednesday before I decide and then they gotta decide. Since I doing this 1 hour with him in studio I won't be alone yes. But same time this could be like an audition. I truly am unsure if radio is for me but if it is then God willing I will get on in the Spring and love it enough to keep going. I just gotta keep moving forward trusting God to guide me and my final place and career that will keep me going long as I am on this planet :)

2. WORKED a lot this week so no gym man I miss it :( But I need the hours so I am thankful for several days of full shifts aka 8 hours. I worked 4 full shifts my only mid was a shorter one at just under 5 hours on Thursday where I did not close but they missed me awe! Perks of being at a job for almost 4 years you make friends and are sad when they leave. Will they be sad when I leave? MY goal was to be out by the new year but at this time I am unsure. I haven't applied to any jobs yet and I am still trying to get through school. So I am still planning to leave just unsure when or where to at this point. But God willing I will be gone before I hit my 4th year in April gulp 4 months to go. If I am there anywhere past March this will become my longest job ever. My longest still stands my first time at B&N where I was there for 3 years 11 months!

3. Church was great last week! I am sad I am missing this as I write :( but I will be back next Sunday as my hours are less and I can attend and still work later too. I love my new church. Small sure. But the pastor is wonderful down to earth right on point. I have never attended Greg Lauries Harvest church he is still my favorite pastor ever. But this is like 2nd best since this pastor is from his church. So next week guys see ya

4. 6 years ago we were just settling into our new digs in Cali and joined the choir. I will never forget that whole thing. It was tons of fun learning music and then singing on Christmas ever. What a blessing! I have never seen Christmas music as worship music till I sang in that choir. Fun times! I will never regret that one

5. Hi my name is Holly and I Struggled with my national novel writing month book. I had such a great idea. I tried to plan it out. Somewhere in there my usual tired all the time business kicked in. I ended up barely finishing the book. Struggling the entire time. Making up crap right and left. I wrote about 15 days total since I was skipping around like a bouncy ball. I think I only wrote every day once so I wrote for most of the time every other day sometimes day behind skipping here and there. I wanted to quit at least 14 times of the 15 I wrote. I wrote half asleep sometimes and I mean it most times not knowing where I was going with it. When I begin these books the characters begin to write themselves in there and pop up. Per usual I had a friend appear that I had not planned. But for some reason my main gal she just did not want to take off like I wanted her to. She being me and tired as me I guess. I wrote in first person I normally do third person. So that meant I was stuck writing it all from first person point of view. I wrote as if it a blog with no order and no dates. That was I could talk first person while still talking and keep the action in the center. Either way I am grateful to finish and might not do it next year. I cant promise I will or won't but seriously it was that bad. I am a bad writer sometimes and other times I wonder if I should just stick with poetry that is my true gift and sometimes think it would be better to not write books. Wow did I just say that? My goal is still to one day publish a book its like a lifetime goal but still!

Well that is all for now. Running on little sleep little energy. I have to work in a few hours but sister worked early so I am sitting here drinking a cold chai tea at 9am in the morning. Yawn. Have a great day and week everyone. I will have a busy one for sure. But the end is in sight of my year and my school year and such. Till next weekend God bless you all!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 26th 2017)

Welcome to the LAST one of these for the month of November. I am struggling to finish my book. My school is almost done. Wow this year has been a real interesting one FOR SURE

1. No school this week so my only GYM time was on Monday before work. I went only once. I will MISS this next week and the following week I get only one shot again. wow. But gym was fun

2. Work hours are picking up quickly. I am working more and more which is great. Since I haven't been working great since I began school no clue why no reason. So yes to hours yes to busy

3. Thanksgiving was harder this year. No uncle Mike and it felt odd. My sister was home due to a bad foot she hurt at work last week. So she called out and was there with us. But still no Mike. I missed him. Holidays are so hard when someone was there always. I cant believe I won't see him again till heaven. Its just still so unreal :(

4. Church is going great. I went three times now and every bit as excited for next weekend when I go again. I will miss not going. I love you new church I LOVE YOU! You are awesome!!

5. Went to the Safari Park on Wednesday. A fun 1.5 hours. It was tiring for real doing that even just a few hours with my sisters bad foot. And us coming late. And it hot out. Went to the mall after while sister got her computer fixed. Ate out. And came home late

well that is all for now. Gonna work on my book. If I work really hard and do it daily except today when I post this I should be able to finish on time but barely barely on time. Sigh why me. Well have a great week everyone. God bless you all. See you all in December this year is wrapping up quickly!

Sunday, November 19, 2017

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 19th 2017)

Welcome friends! Hope you had a blessed week and are excited for turkey day say what!? Yeah its coming fast!!

1. Everyone has hobbies. Mine is watching nature all the time. Gods creation is just so interesting. I have such joy when I am outside day and night. Well my favorite bird is humming birds. And we have a feeder now in our backyard. I cant tell you how excited it makes me to see those beautiful birds up there daily. All the time. I mean I have fun watching them at school. But this is different, at home, personal and yes they come. No flowers in our yard and they come still. I love it. God was so creative making these small birds with such personalities.

2. Work is going busy. But not so much. I was off an extra day this week. That was after working a full long shift on Sunday for an event that kept us open till 10 on a Sunday and hardly anyone came. Well I got paid extra and such. And don't work the next one so there is that. Work is work. Not so busy all the time and when it is there is stress and I have to learn to breath a lot. Food for thought: people make the situation sometimes better or worse during stress so please think about that if you work a job at all especially retail this busy holiday season!! Make life happy for your co workers and bosses it will help the days go by smoother.

3. GYM only once this week. I was going to do it twice in a row then didnt do it the second day. Probably better since last time I did two in a row I about died my pain so real so very real!! But love the gym no complaints when I go

4. School we off next week for Thanksgiving. This week did my promo and my 8th radio show. Also got do my shadow of a dj on Monday. I will be doing so much in the next few weeks as we wrap up school. My podcast was thinking of doing something celeb related back to my celeb roots but will have to research this a lot. A commercial. My 1 hour show where I am on the air nervous. And 3 more radio shows. But off next week. Online class is okay I am over it but trying to just pass no choices. I will be adding my spring classes this week just haven't found time to do it yet sigh

5. Church is awesome. My 3rd week going. And planning to go next week and then work after for 8 hours. And my sister might join me. A small church like 100 people who cares. Love the pastor teaching worship I love it all. So close to home 10min away. Wow I love it!! I look forward to Sundays Hope I can keep going with no problems please thanks

Well that is all for now. I have 2 more work days before I off for 3. I am so tired but its okay! God is good life is good. And the world is still spinning. Despite my health issues I am still here I have a purpose too. God bless you all. Happy Thanksgiving. See you for one more of these for this crazy month as I try to finish my book every day is a trial.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 12th 2017)

Hello on time friends!! Second week of November already for real?? Writing this from McDonalds after church. My 2nd week see below. New church new hello. I am so excited!!!!

1. Church first yes. Greg Laurie showed up for our first service last week. This cute little church doesn't even have an official building yet just meets in this side building close to our gym. But its awesome. I love it. The Pastor is funny and nice. And we are friends on facebook the moment I acted interested in the event a good month before he asked me and I added him. He is nice down to earth. I have never done a Harvest church before but always wanted to join Greg Laurie I am a big fan he is awesome. Well this is a harvest kinda church not calvary chapel. I know I sorta miss The Movement maybe one day will get back to this. But for now this church is close. And its awesome I really want to keep going back. Gone yes 2 times now and both alone my sister had to work but I did not want to miss this!

2. Speaking of work SLOW last week no fun. I asked for Sunday off for church then only worked 4 days. And short shifts. Hours bad business slow. Not good news for this time of year. I need out of this company stat by new year I promise I will try very hard!!

3. GYM did it twice which was fine with me. 3 x in one week was not the best idea. So I went Tue & Thur coolness love the GYM in all its glory and by glory I mean sweaty bodies just kidding ha I am being funny. :)

4. School going okay. Online class lots to do lots DUE and tonight and I won't be home till late bummer special thing at work so I will be working till 10pm on a Sunday boo :( However my radio class while intense I am having a lot of fun. I am unsure how I will do when I Have to be on the air for an hour for our final show. But its a work in progress for sure.

5. Its been 10 years since we moved into our new apartment in TN and 6 years since we moved into this little house. I love to look back and see God was working and at work in each move. Plus November also marks 11 years since we moved from Anaheim to Oceanside. Moving from our Orange County city to a place much closer to San Diego. Life is odd and strange these past 11 years. I miss grandma plus all the people and pets we have lost. We have moved a lot (us not our parents they only moved twice). But God is good and I am okay with all that He does.

Well gotta get to work now soon as my parents show up. Have a great week everyone see you all next Sunday when we enter turkey week GULP. Christmas is coming. Means birthdays and fun. Best time of the year I tell you THE BEST TIME!!!! God bless. see you then :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, November 5th 2017)

Remember Remember the 5th of November! Hello and welcome to November. This is the month of thankful. With my book not doing so well but trying to survive school this year will end very interesting indeed. Hope you had a great week! Doing this on the day it should be up but at least it is on time right?

1. Speaking of book. Mine sucks. I mean the idea is great. But the fact I am SO far behind is scary. So I am going to be catching up next few days with promises to actually write my book daily as opposed to all at once every few days. I usually fly through my NaNo but struggling this year with my health issues, lack of sleep and other things. This will not be easy BUT I WILL NOT GIVE UP I WILL NOT GIVE UP THIS FIGHT!

2. School is going alright. Radio is heating up. I have to do my DJ Shadow and my other radio thing in the next 2 weeks. Plus 5 more news shows. And my final. I thought we doing a podcast but havent yet that might get thrown in there. This class is so much more different. My teacher loves me and gives me so much positive feedback that I am thinking more and more radio might be my door to tv and not vis versa. Shall see. Online class I am sucking so bad. But found out today cant drop week 3 should have dropped by end of week 2 groan. So toughing this out another 5 weeks. And cant wait for my break for thanksgiving yeah turkey

3. Work this past week bad. The company is stressing me out. Less hours cause no one is shopping. I need a new job for real by the new year I am unsure if this company in general can survive like this. I need a new job no matter what but seriously we doing so bad that its like WHY and NOPE no good ugh. But I worked 5 days at least so there is that even if less hours

4. GYM did it three times and that was one time too many. After gym on Friday my 3rd day I worked then saw Thor 3. Good movie bad idea seeing when I felt like crap and was so tired I was sleeping during it. But love the GYM only twice this week but hey yeah

5. 10 years ago on November 3rd 2007 we began our journey to TN. Spiritual attacks were upon us a lot. I knew we were on the right path when these began even before our move. The devil didnt want that for real yo. Either way God kept us safe. I regret a lot in life I will NEVER regret our move there for 3 years! We changed, grew up, lived on our own, grew in so many ways. I mean it life changing for sure. Miss you TN havent been back in 7 years!!

Well that is all folks. I am going to try to catch up my live journal then do 2 days in 1 for my book. Then tomorrow do another 2. And by Tuesday I SHOULD be caught up if I do it daily I should still finish my book on time but barely by the skin of my teeth. Yikes a be. Good night all. God bless!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 29th 2017)

Last one of these for the month of October. Unsure where time has gone. Wow crazy stuff!!

1. I am working on my ideas for my 10th National Novel Writing Month! In just a few short days I will be starting my journey again into the crazy world of writing a book in 30 days. I need to start editing my books now its getting bad that I have yet to actually publish something I wrote. Some years the ideas are crap. Others they are great. Either way I have never actually gotten farther then winning. And of all things I do each year I make sure I FINISH my books. I have not lost one year not one!

2. Work this week was a bit longer but not that many hours. Yes I haven't tried yet for another job. But until I do I will be here through the holidays. And my goal is out by the new year. That is a big goal since we have 2 months left. I need a job closer to home but if not at least one that makes me happy, gives me hours and is closer to my career that would be a bonus but still. Lets be hopeful, pray and TRY for another job yes please

3. My parents and sister were gone all week this week. That means they had fun up North like 8hrs away. While we did our usual without them. My sister taking me to work. No gym. What a week! But they are back now as of Friday hey guys

4. School is going alright. I am now into my 2nd week of my online class. And I have my radio class. I did week 5 and recorded it. I have to do some intense stuff as we get to the end of the semester. And then decide if I want to do this for real in the Spring. I am unsure at this point it will be busy. I am planning to do the TV show and I would be doing two different ones. I am unsure yet we shall see. Just want to get through this semester and come out okay. But I am having fun no matter what

5. 10 years ago we were in our final weeks before moving to TN. I know cause we had the truck on halloween packing it up. Its hard to believe time has flown by and looking back. I will never once regret our move. We were independent from our parents for 3 years plus 1 year in AZ. We paid our own bills. Struggled, barely slept. Didn't have a lot of fun money. But we had fun. Made friends. I had a school I loved. 2008 was my favorite year out there despite our allergy cough we both got for like 5 months. We had fun. I love you TN and miss you. But sadly unless I were getting a real job out there I will never be able to move back. I don't regret our move to AZ either but TN 10 years ago our journey is one I will never forget.

Well I am going to post this on Sunday but written two days early. Had a heat spell this week oh boy but finally cooling down this weekend happy we can say FALL and hope this is it. I mean I will miss tank tops and shorts and flip flops. But in a few months it will be back. And the weather channel says we might have a warmer winter so there is always that to look forward to haha ;) See you all in November. Have a happy Halloween. I have to work but hey its how it goes. God bless!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 22nd 2017)

One more of these and we are done for this month! Crazy huh. This year is flying by. Doing this early again cause it worked last time why not try it again. This MacBook Air is kinda of addicting. But I have to get back on my acer eventually I left a lot of unsaid stuff. Plus with no cd drive yet on this one I will buy one eventually I have to go on my acer for uploading cds and such.

1. School is going alright. I am done with week 9 which means we have less than half a semester to go. In case I forget this I got my catalog already for the Spring semester in the mail. I am excited for that. I just need to survive this semester. And then I can talk about the next one yup. Did my 4th radio show got 7 more to go. I kinda messed up my recording for my half of the 2 shows for radio. So unsure what to do about that.

2. GYM did that twice this week. Tuesday & Thursday. I am now into doing the hydro machine after so that is nice and relaxing. On Thursday I also did some weights which I will be feeling for a day or two. Next week might do this 3 times wow. Yup back to working 3x a week again after several weeks of not working on Fridays.

3. Worked less last week just 4 days again. My hours bad and yes I am still wanting a new job while not looking. But seriously my goal is to be out by next year unsure where my company is going and don't want to be there if the direction is bad.

4. 2 years ago on the 18th we lost our dear Maggie. I still miss our crazy orange girl. Unsure how much longer we have the other kids few more years. With crazy stuff going on in the world. Honestly unsure how much longer the world will be here or us as humans or both. But God is in control and that is all I need to know.

5. My doc visit was not that great on Tuesday. I will be back probably in a month. Unsure if and when I will take care of my other issues since my meds run out on the 5th and I need to decide quickly after that. I have also been clinically diagnosed with PCOS which is 1 in 10 and not going away ever. I need to work on my weight and health. But this pain I guessed for months what is was is this. Although honestly I could have something worse since this is the end of my doctor visits for this. But like I said God is in control He knows what is wrong and if its worse it will be okay too.

Well I am gonna post this but not put on twitter till you know Sunday. Have a great week everyone. See you next week one last one of these. Till then God bless.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 15th 2017)

Doing this yes 2 days early but won't post the link till we are closer to the day it should be up. Best I can do! Hello everyone how are you doing today??

1. My new MacBook Air came in the mail finally. Yes I will be paying for this for a while and yes I got it for career not just fun. My laptop acer 5 years old now has been acting up for months now. The keyboard died few months ago. That was like the last straw. But I will for sure go back on it sometimes. After all this MacBook comes with no cd drive :( and no word program. So I am unsure how that works. I am still figuring this out. But for now I like this laptop. Its pretty and light and I will be taking it with me so I can be cool at school. Yes I will be but gotta keep an eye on it cause its not cheap. Had I paid out of pocket it would have cost me $1,200 yikes a bee

2. I had 2 days off this week Thursday & Friday. I did not ask for them off. WE ended up doing nothing on Thursday. And Friday my big plans were dye my hair, wash my sheets, give my dog a bath and that was that. I managed a walk on Thursday night. Enjoying Gods creation is a favorite thing of mine. Like every day. But yeah. Otherwise I was bored slightly depressed and wondering what to do with my time. Its weird. Okay. I am in school or working all the time. So when I get un asked for time off and do nothing at all but stay at home I get nothing done and sink into a small low. Its weird. Its ADD. Its a mess I call me. Oh well back to the grind next 2 days back to the normal of life

3. Work this week as stated not much. 3 days total. I worked Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday. All small shifts. Next week I am back to at least 4 days but shorter shifts. I need a new job. I say this every week but I need to actually look and not keep saying I Need a new job while saying I need a new job. It makes no sense at all but hey yeah that. I finally passed this test I had to take for being in guest service. New training they making us all do. I had to pass by the 2nd try and get 95% and I got that Thank God! Now onto my other 2 test next 2 weeks.

4. Due to not working it meant also not doing the gym. I did go one time on Tuesday. I was there extra long so I took in the massage chair for the 2nd time in a week. Funny spent months not doing those and now I keep doing them. Why not its part of my $20 per month. So yeah gym was fun I was in pain actually from my issues but every day I am okay with Jesus getting me through it. I will know more about what is wrong with me MAYBE next Tuesday stay tuned for that update

5. School is going alright. Half way there say what. I only know this cause my fast track classes start on Monday but unsure which ones I am keeping. I haven't heard from anyone yet on those so I am unsure which one is the one I am keeping and which two I am not. I could do all of them maybe but the thing is I doubt I can keep up. My ability to be awake all the time and keep up is just slipping. I am worried at times my mind is going crazy Is this what almost 40 looks like? Really? My 3rd radio time I went on facebook live. Everyone loved me! My teacher praises me. I am starting to think and pray this could be the way I should go. Am I meant for radio? I spent years trying only tv and was never given a chance for a radio demo when my school closed I had barely gotten my tv one done my radio was next. Nearly 10 years later here I am back in radio trying this out. I spent 2 other times dropping this class. Now with the encouragement of my teacher and the fellow students I really enjoy this class. And I could see myself stepping into a career in this maybe. Or an internship unsure.

Well that is all I can think of for now. Doing this early is throwing me off. But yeah I figure I might as well try this out. Till I see you all again have a great night. Two more of these for this month. There is more to life btw. My depression and the devil like to dabble me and tell me otherwise. The devil likes to try to bring me back to where I was before I came back to God and tell me there isn't anything else to life. And when I think that way I go backwards. But every time I step forward I feel Jesus grab me and pull me forward. God bless you all till next week!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 8th 2017)

Sorry this is up so late. I was trying so hard for several days to get on here. Finally I am on here days late again. Gulp. You should see my livejournal if you follow that I am MONTHS behind again!

1. Was in my first ever car accident this last week. No fun btw. Some lady just looking down hit us and from behind. No damage to either car. But both of our necks, backs and heads hurt all night and next day too. How did I hit my head on the roof? While I could just look at this how bad it was. I look at the protection. God was keeping us safe. Neither car damaged. And while whiplash if that is what we got is bad. I pray this wont end badly but for now doing better a week later! Last week I also saw another doctor with still no real new information. I dont want to share everything on this blog since its very public. And what is going on with me whatever it is I chose to keep it private. God knows what is going on. They took blood 2 viles what for? She didnt tell me. I will know next week! I am on new meds to help one of my issues. But truly all this does nothing for me. I am still in pain daily. I am still unsure what happening. But God is in control still He knows what is wrong. I am glad and grateful He has me in His hands and I only want HIS will not mine no matter what happens to me health wise. Keep me in prayers please and thanks. Update when I hear more if I can share it without too much information.

2. Work has been okay this week. I asked not for 1 day off and got it anyways. So I only worked 4 times. My shifts are small. My checks are getting smaller. I just took on another credit card for a new laptop I just pray this was a wise decisions. But with hours so badly and having spent all my extra money going to places like Universal or even Disney before year is up probably not happening. I not only need a new job I need to stop saying this and actually look where to apply.

3. Did GYM just once this week. My other day I worked a full. Yeah a full middle of the week? I mean I used to do this but now a days they give me full on the weekend Saturday & Sunday while i work smaller evening shifts during the week. GYM was fun my one time. I love the GYM. Even if at this point I may never lose weight and just gain muscle. I hear its good for me. I hope it is.

4. School going alright. Radio is great. I love being on the radio. Sure its nerve wracking writing a script and going live on it. Its like a more serious more public smaller plateform from my celeb updates that I havent done in like 7 years. I am still testing this out. But if God wants me there I might do this next semester as a real show of my own. For now just doing news way different then doing a full 2 or 3hr show. I would so do 80's I love 80's music! Or oldie CCM. I love smooth jazz but learned that its not really popular as it was supposed to be. Ha. I am learning a lot in my one class. I start up one to three fast tracks next week. I am unsure how much I want on my plate . Between work, gym and my health.

5. Tried the ZOO for the first time in 3 years. Havent been back here since March 2014. Upgraded with my credit card a big no no but got passes that work on stuff the one we got like last time no longer does. Weird right? Plus free parking at safari park ($15 per time right now), free bus rides in the zoo, all those perks like 10% on food and merchandise in the park. Had fun 4hrs. Lost our free tickets. Had them replaced. Will get those next time we go back. Maybe do other park next week well this week shall see

Well that is all for now. Before you know it I will be doing this weeks which I am in now! Enjoy the rest of your week. I am simply exhausted but happy. I am always happy. Even with bags under my eyes, pain all over my body. Cause God is good Jesus saved me and no matter what God is good and in control. God bless you all till next week :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, October 1st 2017)

Welcome to October! Doing this a day late I do say sorry but I have done worse right. Hope you had a great week last week.

1. GYM this week I was glad to get in there twice. Yeah. Especially since this week and next I am only promised 1 time each cause my job hours are bad! Or different. So glad I got some GYM time in.

2. Work has been okay. Hours are bad still. And me needing a new job asap has not gone away. But i am hanging in there day by day. Worked just 4 x cause I asked for Friday off. Then lucky me i am off the next two or maybe more know soon Fridays. Yup

3. School is going good. Few more weeks till I am doing my 1 or more fast tracks. Unsure about how many. But there ya go. I did my first radio gig on Wednesday I have 10 more to go plus the final. I am so glad I am finally sticking this out. Unsure what it means for my future career but still struggling for tv mind as well try radio. Especially since CSB closing in 2009 I was never able to really try for it as much as tv.

4. On Friday we released 4 balloons to heaven for grandmas 105th birthday. I miss her still so much. It never got easier. I am still sad. She was a 3rd parent for me and my 2 sisters. She has been gone since 2006 and we havent really celebrated a birthday with her since 2005.

5. I am still not feeling good. I ask for you to pray for me if you do. This week on Tuesday I talk to a different doctor. But at this point I am not confident it will lead to any results at all. It is truly in Gods hands what happens He knows what is wrong and i may never know. Unsure what that means.

Realizing we are now close to November I am thinking about NaNoWriMo and no ideas yet. i need to brain storm this one for real and hopefully come up with something soon so I can set up my account. As always I will do it and I will finish. I'm working on getting a new laptop hopefully in the next few weeks on credit. Cool. Well have a great week be safe stay cool. See you all hopefully on time on Sunday. Till then God bless

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 24th 2017)

Welcome to Fall! Sure it came in on Friday. But hey. That means cooler temps (finally) although for us the 80's next week again. So it means for us warmer still day and cooler nights. Hey I am sleeping under my blankets again till the sun comes up. Ha. Well there you go. How was your week?

1. So my sickness continued most of last week. Thankfully by the weekend a good 1.5 weeks after it began it finally turned into allergies and left me all together. Hurray! But I still had my ultrasound results to deal with. The following I report: i have no idea what is wrong with me still. I think that they didnt get the full report. Cause what I thought was wrong with me and I might share maybe not did not show up. Just something also not sharing that makes me unique but has nothing to do with my pains. My other issue pain for maybe ulcers returned a few days ago. Despite the meds nearly every day the same pain comes with me several times a day. So the meds stopped working? Unsure. Sadly THAT one i cant deal with till beginning of November when my meds work out. God is teaching me patience that is for sure. Not easy but its one of those virtues I have yet to fully learn. I have a new appointment on Oct 3rd (patience). And the nurse will let me know when she actually *sees* the ultrasound not just get the results. I know it is all still free to me so far for this but dealing with not real medical is a true pain till I began to finally use it.

2. Work this week slowish. Worked 5 days again which is good but still. Last week I only worked 4 as the week before but I asked for time off. Our company is going bankrupt which makes me nervous. I need to get a new job my motivation must be true now that this is happening. Trust me THIS made the news you probably heard about it on Monday. I work for the company. Been around since 1957 that is a long time. Retail stores not doing well due to people buying online? And now us? Really. So more than ever I need a new job by 2018 latest because by then they will figure out which stores to close. Till the holidays I am safe for now. Sigh.

3. GYM did it 3 x last week. NOT bad since I only did it 1x week before. Next week much the same 2x. The following week will only be 1x yup. Best I can do. I figure at least 1 or 2x a week makes my $20 a month worth it. I love the gym dont get me wrong

4. School is going alright. Few more weeks till I begin my 1 or 2 online classes. We have done 5 weeks so far. And next week begin our news cast on the radio 1x a week. I am a bit nervous. I need to work on my news writing in my free time which I am having issues finding. But still. I get to do this 11x this semester. Plus my show at the end. This all may lead to a show in the spring of my own. Or an internship or just get experience for a future job. I like it so far maybe this is for me.

5. Trying to find a number 5. So 6 years ago tragedy struck when the owners of the house we were going to buy killed themselves and we were forced to spend months trying to find this one. It took a good almost 2 months. Also in the news lots of end times stuff with the weather. I swear since the eclipse bad weather is just like rising up. Got a break in the last 2 days. But between earthquakes that were large and hurricanes and even fires yeah. Unsure when the actual rapture will happen but hey could still be in my life time only God knows.

Well I did this 2 days early so I can get it up on time. But glad to see you all like me so much you still read it when its up so late so thank ya! Hope you all have a great week. See you all in October I just recalled this is the last for this month. Say what?!

Wednesday, September 20, 2017

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 17th 2017)

All things were against this being on time this week. I wanted to do it I swear! But my computer went insane on Sunday night then Monday I could not get enough time to get it done before school. After school home so late I just was like no. And dont ask about Tuesday. So here I am 3 days late sorry. I was going to do this with next weekends its close but figure better late then never. Hey to all my readers how was your week last week and this one too?

1. Work this week was okay. I had a day off not asked for. The companies in the news this week if you dont know I work for babies r us which is a company same as toys r us and well they went bankrupt. Knowing all this I am wondering if that is why my hours are so bad. With silver status and all I should be pulling in close to 30 hrs a week. I usually get that for a good month or so and I havent gotten that in months. But its okay. Work is okay but yes I am worried and needed a new job before this happened. Ugh. Its like Borders all over again except this time I am not just watching my former company go to pot I am in the middle of it. Boo! Just trying to be hopeful. I dont want the company to go under even if I was not with them anymore. Imagine a world without the biggest toy store. Its like the sports stores that are so rare. Retail stores keep doing this! Why? Who really shops online all the time? Dont people want to leave their houses? I swear if our world is around in I would say 20 years from now we will all have no retail stores or groceries stores and just have it all delivered. Sure the companys might still be there but all ship to home. But boy the business will be booming for ups and usps! Just saying we live in SUCH A WEIRD WORLD! Good thing I am not from here just visiting and not gonna stay forever :)

2. GYM did it once not twice. Yeah see # 5 on this list for that one. But yeah it was fun the one time i went. Which was Tuesday as I was off from it all no reason on Thursday as stated above. I love the GYM. Sure I have to pay $40 on Oct 1st along with my $20 per month. But long as I go at least twice a week its well worth the money. Sure I dont lose weight but its healthy for me to workout its good for my heart and such. I gotta take care of my body till I am gone its all I got and its not doing so well in so many areas :(

3. School is going alright. The more I get into radio the less afraid I get of the radio. Come on. 2 years ago I was on tv being on the radio 11x this semester is nothing. No one can see me. Its 3 minutes tops. I love our teacher a former radio person for a long time up in San Diego. Hes just funny and full of great information. Its the real deal. Now will I get a job in radio for real some day? Will I do a show in the Spring? I am unsure at this point. But if I like it and get it maybe I just will. I have done so much tv so far and nothing radio. One of my big regrets when CSB closed in 2009 was I never got much for a radio demo. I learned both but only got a demo (that is still MIA forever now) for tv before the school closed. I tell great stories. Maybe I am cut out for this. I am just figuring this out. And praying if its supposed to happen it will. I need my nitch and find it when I can yup.

4. Went to Aquarium of the Pacific on Thursday. After much debate we decided on that one. We wanted to do Disneyland or Universal Studios or the zoo or sea world. But crap hours and costly. But with traffic we got there with barely an hour to go see it. Still it was fun. Havent been there in like 2 years. Only gone twice ever. When we get the money better jobs both me and my sister disney for sure and universal . But times are tough and getting money for these things does not come easy at all.

5. So I got sick finally again. Ugh. yes again. I am counting on my hand 5x this year been sick now. 3 times was a cold / cough and once was stomach flu. Now here arrives the 5th one. Sore throat Wednesday and full blown cold by Thursday. Friday I came to work cold and a slight cough. I had the cough good and going and then come yesterday it was going away. So what not it is on its way out. That is God btw I asked for healing and away it went thank you God! So happy. In other news. I had my ultrasound done on Tuesday last week. And tomorrow I get my results. I will update on the weekend what is going on. I just know this for sure: God knows what is wrong with me I am just waiting to find out too. I have two big issues wrong with me. My second one is on going issues and pain and well I wont be able to fully look into that until my meds run out so closer to November. I have a bad set of health issues some for a while some more recent. But its okay. I have my bad days I have my good days. Jesus gets me through them all day by day. If God allowed this it has a purpose. What is that purpose no idea. But He is good and in control that is ALL I need to know.

Well Happy late birthday to my youngest sister Misty today! On the 17th she turned 31 which makes me feel ancient cause I turn 38 in just 3 months here. Yikes! But yeah she will always be 2 inside but that is okay. In heaven we will talk her and me. Cause she cant here. I wonder what she will sound like? Cause seriously never talked we can only guess right :) Well have a great rest of your week. See you in a few days. Promise to be closer to Sunday then this one. Gulp guilty as charged. God bless you all!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 10th 2017)

This has been a long week and we are just getting started with September. How was your week? Hope it was a good one! Doing this one day early again

1. This week I am reminded again it has been 6 years since our move from AZ back to CA. No longer do I question why it happened. God shut doors for a reason. I will probably never know why at this point. And when I get to heaven it will not be on my mind. IMO if God wanted to reveal why it happened He would have by now. Either way our 10 day quick move out was insane. But God provided our help to come home and here we still are. Waiting for our next move whatever is supposed to happen will. God is good I trust Him to provide and if time to move provide for that too

2. GYM did it three times this week. On Tuesday, Thursday & Friday. Fun times really! I love the GYM. Sure it wasn't as much time each time as I wanted but I went. My job keeps giving me small shifts in the evening so I keep coming back. Its good for me after all and I do pay for it each month so truly I need to go. So there you go.

3. Worked not much this week. Asked for Saturday off. And then worked 4 other days. It was not as busy this week less hours even when we worked we off on time. Last week we had more. And now we ended another check which I get next week. I need a new job btw my company is having issues that could be bad if it keeps going towards what is being announced. So getting out is now more about then just getting a different job its about getting out because it would be worse to still be there IF something does happen maybe as soon as next year

4. School is going okay. Only went one day. Was off on Monday and on Monday we didn't do much. Just beach for like 20min then no pizza at GYM cause of the holiday after told they were doing it. So went on Wednesday watched a movie. My fast track don't begin for another 5 weeks so just this one till then. Yup

5. Dads birthday was on Thursday but we celebrated on Saturday yesterday. Went down to San Diego. We saw the monument the lighthouse and the tide pools. Had coffee and dinner. Then came home. Nice 7hrs out of the house. Celebrated both my dad and my sister who will be turning 31 on the 17th of this month. Not a bad day truly beautiful weather sunny breezy cloudy my kinda day

Well that is all for now. I am still dealing with my issue for my 2 health issues. Dropped off a sample and got more meds for that possible ulcers. And my other issues I have an ultrasound this next week on Tuesday. If you pray please keep praying. Jesus is getting me through every bump and pain which I am trying to not complain about even if its all the time. This world is a mess lately I am unsure if the rapture or my health is gonna take me out of this place first. Just being honest. Till next weekend see you all then. Have a great one. Stay safe especially if you in the path of any number of these issues in nature. God bless!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, September 3rd 2017)

Welcome to September. Somehow this month Fall will come and the Fall drinks and such. We have 4 months left of this crazy year. So much can and will happen or could. Unexpected sure. But God is in control and nothing else makes me more comforted then knowing that for a fact. Hope you had a great week!

1. GYM only went once this week ugh. My main reason was having been asked to come into work early on Tuesday. So I lost a day but did get my second one. I could have lost that too. Cause yeah below doctor yeah. So yes GYM. My job continues to give me evening shifts sucks for me but yes it means lots of GYM time even with school back in session!

2. Work is okay. Worked 4 days not 5. Nope I asked for not Friday off but got it. SO I enjoyed sleeping in, doing stuff needed to be done including setting up the table and washing my sheets. Work this week has been busy. We are kinda short staffed. So each time I worked I ended up staying way past closing time that should be off. Getting my hours in how I can I guess no choice but hey. Yes I need a new job I need to start looking and stop saying this on repeat

3. School week 2 done. This week we tried out one of two new classes and said no. Then ever made the other. Now for sure ending this semester 1 in person and 1 online that begins in October so few more weeks. I don't want to end with less then 6 units. I will be more successful in the Spring you watch and see

4. Heat wave wow! Its been SUPER hot all week. I pray for Texas and all involved in that stupid hurricane. I know Tennessee my beloved home in my heart state has the rain now and tornado scares. But Texas man so sad! I know that from experience with our flood in 2010 in TN that it takes years to rebuild. But you will rebuild. It takes a disaster sometimes for people to begin to act more humane towards each other. But the stories touch me I have heard. The deaths make me sad. I am praying for you all. And heat be gone its September just be gone heat be gone for good thanks

5. I am still not feeling well. So a trip to the doctor on Thursday for my stomach. Now I have meds for 2 more months more test on other things not saying. And then they will maybe look into my stomach with a camera. No word yet on my blood work and my other issue. I just want to be healthy again but since I am still trying to find answers and trusting God all the more I am unsure when that will be if ever.

Well that is all for now. Wrote this 2 days early. Yup. But up on time is always a good thing. Have a great week everyone. Welcome to September. Happy Labor Day. See you all next weekend!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 27th 2017)

Welcome to the last of these for August. It has been a ride for sure this year. So much sadness grief in our family alone issues etc. The world around us. Top off with how slow this year began and now its just speeding up again. My review for this year will be something else for sure when its over!

1. So my uncle made the long trip out from his area a good 5hours to bring my uncles car to my sister. That is my uncle who died sadly and unexpected just like 2 weeks ago. So we had our uncle staying with us on the second day of school. I still haven't put back together anything nearly a week later. Just haven't been able to dedicate the time needed to do it AGAIN when I had it all set up. So that was odd. Cause he stayed over night and he got a show. My sister decided to pull an all nighter. Plus 2 wild cats. Probably the only normal was my dog. Haha

2. School is back in session SAY WHAT! I already am down to 1 in person (began with 3 in person) and will be doing a fast track so I can do 6units. I hope for more success in the Spring. I always go in with high hopes with school and leave disappointed. Plus they gave me book money but so late that I couldn't get books for an online class I was debating and my sister had already gotten my radio book for me. Um yeah. But I will use the money for my fast track class(s) unsure how many taking. And get the pro tools book for the class we dropped. I would have loved that class it sounded fun but a long class twice a week at night after one or two day classes. Why are classes so long? I used to go to classes this long if they were ONCE a week not twice a week. 3 hours is way too long IMO for a class that is twice a week!

3. Work has been kinda slow. My first week of classes and I barely worked at all. I mean 5 days sure. Next week 4? And I asked for nothing off till the following week. I don't ask for time off that often mind you. Either way instead of complaining here and there I am just going to trust God and actually start to apply for jobs. I cant get a new one if I don't apply for one.

4. GYM did it 3x. Not bad really. I went on Tuesday, Thursday & Friday. Fun times. I love the gym. I can do it twice next week. Unsure on the following. But wish I could go all the time. Yeah gym

5. I went to the doctor again on Thursday for some check up for women. Im unsure what is wrong with me but I could have PCOS which is a life time issue. I truly think not only I have that but I have some ovarian cyst too. I got more blood drawn and wait for that. Then an ultrasound. Once diagnose I will be on my way to a lifetime issue of pain with no cure. Just fyi this can make it very hard to have kids. So even if I was married and trying it would be a big issue. I never knew I had this and probably had it for a while. Time will tell as God teaches me patience to get this figured out. I am trusting Him to get me to the other side no matter what that means. God is good all the time!

Did you see the eclipse? Sure we only got a part one like 58% but through 3 different glasses at school I saw it and even took a few pictures. Pretty neat. God sure likes to show off sometimes. He shows off all the time but some of these things are just awesome. Nature really does scream there is a Creator to all who will listen. Have a great week everyone! See you all in September!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 20th 2017)

Welcome to the almost last one of these for August. About to kick off the school week wow is it time already? And today marks 4 months till my next birthday when I turn the big 38! My plans for now include: stop dying my hair, a tattoo and jumping out of a plane. I gotta plan big and do it now. I might save the plane for my 40th and the tattoo but the hair dye is probably more than likely a real deal

1. Work this week was busy like 5 days but hours not really. Sad really since my last week before school and I asked for nothing off. That is why I still need a new job but I need more to stop saying this without actually you know looking. Yup

2. GYM did it once not twice. I was gonna on Friday as well as Thursday but ended up not going with my parents so I only went on Thursday. I love it but the pain from whatever is wrong with me not so much.

3. My uncle died suddenly early Thursday morning. I am still in shock he gone. My dads brother. He was around our hours a lot over the years at holidays mostly and some other days. My dad was close and since he the only connection to my grandparents both gone now. And over the years yeah I miss him. I really do. Younger then my dad too. Shocker. I know he is free from pain with Jesus and my grandparents and such. But dang it we miss him! RIP uncle Mike :(

4. Went for one more fun day out on Wednesday in La Jolla. We first went to Birch Aquarium and that was fun for the hour we there. Havent been in a few years. Then we went to the beach area. Walked on the beach in various spots. Saw the seals. Had fun. It was so beautiful there so great! I swear if it was my last day on earth and I knew it I would spend it at the beach just saying.

5. So my sick issues continue. Began my week on Tuesday thinking I would get answers. After all I came back a week after my last time and was told we could look farther into my issue. This nurse also claimed my back pain was just my back pain. What a nightmare. Instead of walking away with help I walked away with medicine I didn't need. And God kept me from getting it cause its not my back. So made 2 appointments. Thursday I came back for my bloodwork test. And next week a woman visit which I have never had ever. I am sick of not knowing what is wrong with me. I have pain EVERYWHERE. I mean it all the time. My back my front inside me. I fear bad things are happening this pain is only getting worse. And no one is taking me serious. So yeah pray for me please.

Well one more of these till we done. See you all then. Have a great week!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 13th 2017)

Welcome on time. Doing this a day early cause I wont be on here much tomorrow. Busy busy.

1. Work this week was slow. No reason. I asked for no time off. Next week I have hours again. But school begins the following so there you go for my Summer. Hard to believe its over

2. My sisters visit went well on Monday. Not went well was 3 hours of cleaning for a 30min visit. Really cant believe spent the whole summer not cleaning. All the stuff back in place now. 3 times a year we really have to clean. Well 1 time and the other 2 holidays sorta clean. Ugh to not having enough space for my stuff and being so messy with what I have

3. The 14th marks 10 years since our first trip to TN. We fell in love with this place but had no idea where we were to move. Came back a few weeks later and fell for Murfreesboro our eventual home. Cant believe its been a decade since we made a decision that changed our lives forever. Well for the 3 years we lived there but still. Moving out. Getting our own lives. All that jazz. I miss TN still wish we could at least visit but moving back would have to be a reason this time not just no reason but a leap of faith. And that is a good reason btw not just saying its not. Long as its Gods will I would follow Him anywhere He wanted me to go

4. The 6th marked 9 years since I lost Tinkerbell. I miss my little hamster sometimes she brought joy to my life for just 1.5 years. If she hadn't died we wouldn't have thought about gerbils and been planning for them when Jackie & Rocky were dropped on us. The turn in the events to get them to us was truly God in all things. He knew they needed us. We didn't know at the time. I miss you little Tink! If you are heaven see you someday again soon.

5. I had a uti or something which was why I was sick. This past week I have been to the doctor again twice. Once on Tue to tell me I didn't have one before but what did I have the meds worked but it came back? And then on Friday for possible ulcers. I have meds for that but none for the uti. I am in a great deal of pain and ask your prayers. Jesus is getting me through work these next few days till I go back on Tuesday. I am not afraid God has this in His hands whatever the reason even if it is serious. In the end I will be with Him just unsure when that will be. Will update more next weekend.

Have a great week everyone. See you all next Sunday! Tomorrow is gonna be so early but at least next week not so much. And school after that week WOW! Summer is gone boo. Good day all. And God bless you!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 6th 2017)

Hello and welcome to August! Sorry this is so late again. I meant to post this on Sunday then Monday but time got away from me. So here I am. How was your week. Hope this one is well too.

1. GYM I did it three times again. Yup! I went on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I had Friday & Saturday off. But a good time none the less at the GYM. I always have fun unless I am sick or in pain or something else then no fun. Monday was tough. See my last for this week for more details. But I was improved when I came back on Wed. I will miss it as I don't return till Friday of this week I am in now.

2. Work was slowish. I worked 4 days. I asked for 2 off and got 3 but not in a row. My hours were pretty bad. Next week not much better. I am hoping even with school in a few weeks they will pick up. Silver status should get me hours. Especially since the only job I applied with in months (target) didn't even give me a proper interview before rejecting me for who knows why. It cant be I have been at my same job for 3 years. Most everyone loves me at work and my manager I put down she loves me the most of them all I am pretty sure. I doubt they even called her. So anyways carry on keep looking and trying is what I got to do. I cant keep this job forever its just not possible or right.

3. The heat is bad this week very bad. Most days horrible but getting by best we can. We saw Despicable Me 3 again on Tuesday. We were the only one in the theater and that was nice. I was in pain but it was a fun time. Sad summer near done. Very little beach trips nothing much fun. Might do a water park next week or the aquarium unsure for sure. But hey that is Summmer

4. Friday went with the parents for their anniversary boat ride. This is our 3rd year. Went for 2 hours. It was fun sure. Not like the last two but still fun. Saturday they celebrated 39 years. Wow! Makes me feel old since I turn 38 soon. I watched my sister mostly alone then later they back had dinner and ice cream their treat. Sweet

5. So last week on Monday I found out I have a uti. I have never had one. But this coming week I found out more about it. And what it wasn't. And I'm confused. I ask for your prayers as I deal with some possibly serious medical issues only God knows what is going on. I am scared but trust Him who made me to see me through it. More details if I chose to share them or not.

Well school begins soon. And how is it August. Time flies really it does. Summer went by way too fast. I read little. Cleaned nearly nothing. Very little beach or hikes or fun. Kinda bummed out but hey. Hope you all have a great week. Mine will be less then thrilling less work and more rest. Sometimes I don't get why I get less hours. I guess this week God knew I needed it before I knew I did. Till next weekend. God bless you all. Have a good one. See you hopefully sooner then this late ...

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 30th 2017)

Last one for July. Sorry I am late. Long set of days working and developed another health issue. So that was how my week went. How was yours?? How is July already over? Where did it go? Now we are speeding back towards fall, school and the last 5 months of the year

1. Went to the GYM three times this week. Which is pretty good for me. I am going 3 times next week too no complaints!! Except for what happened on Friday. I went and was just beginning my workout. I was 10 min into it and was about to hop on the bike. I was aiming for my usual bike elliptical and treadmill and some arms. Instead the power goes out for the whole block. I spent the rest of my workout just doing stuff while many left. I could not do the treadmill and ended up just doing 30min workout and some arms. I went to work and well the power out for everyone and had been for a good 1.5hrs before it came back up. I was amused when everyone left when the treadmills stopped glad no one got hurt that wouldn't have been funny. Weird night.

2. Worked 5 times. And all closings. Friday was the most exciting. But Saturday oh boy. When I was getting ready at home the power went out for 10 min. I was about to shower in the dark when it came back up. What is going on? Rolling black outs? I also got silver status at work for the first time ever. I got 51 credit apps in 3 months May, June & July. I had given up on it and even told God this. I was trying and thinking I needed 4 more then I had gotten. I think it was May when I lost my other phone and therefore lost how many I had gotten. Either way. God likes to surprise me and again did this. I was not excepting it but trying to be hopeful. With every app I got last week I was closer. When they give out the prizes I get a $15 check I have promised God to tithe $10 of it and leave $5 for a treat for me. I will get the status and I should get more hours at work which I fight for all the time. Since Target isn't working out sadly I need to keep looking but until I get another job this is all I have. I have to fight for my hours. And so I just wanted the status but I am cool with the gift and the extra money. God is good! And I am very happy about this. Wow this year. I won the drawing, I got employee of the month now this. Wow!!

3. Hello facebook! I have now been on the site for 9 years as of this month. My best friend at the time invited me. I found it to be a great bonus with myspace and then myspace went away slowly I mean its still there. But not really the same. I love facebook for connecting to people and yes like many killing time when I have it reading up on updates from friends and pages I liked and even news I get most if not all my news from the site.

4. Got some cleaning done which is a miracle for me even. But got some done. In the hot garage no less. A visit in two weeks and summer is almost gone. Its about time.

5. So I have got something wrong with me. Its a bit personal but it just started really bothering me on Saturday night at work. I ended up telling them Sunday I couldn't come in till 3 not 1 as I had said I would come in earlier. Even then work was harsh. I will find out more tomorrow and maybe put it in my update next weekend. Keep me in prayers friends!!

That is all for now. Sorry this so late. Last week was boring but this week at least doing stuff and working less. Hard to believe we 3 weeks from school where did my Summer go? So not what I thought I would do has happened or not so far. Have a great week. God bless. See you in August :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 23rd 2017)

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!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 16th 2017)

A bit late but not like last week. Sorry guys! I even was working later today so I was going to come on but then got to bed too late so ended up just running out of time and getting up later. I was exhausted

1. I was going to do the GYM but then guess what. We had wifi problems no joke right before we leaving. My 30min left. Sure I could have gone for like 20min maybe. But that would not work. I got my free pizza and went to work. Very sad was me.

2. Went on a small walk on Thursday. Would have been longer but we left too late and they close at sunset. But was at the park for about 20min. Still had a little fun. Saw a ton of dragon flies more than I have ever seen at one time. Wow crazy! But cool

3. Saw Despicable Me 3 on Tuesday. Very funny. Soundtrack yes. But the screen had issues. This was with my giftcard I won at work. So we ended up getting tickets to come back. My free movie turned into another free movie in the future. So that was pretty awesome. God is good

4. 7 years ago we left from TN to AZ its just crazy. Our trip to AZ our lives from that point on in the heat till our eventual move back to Cali a year later. And to think 10 years ago in July we planning our trip to live in TN never knowing what would happen. God works in mysterious ways always guiding us. But looking back at the timing it really blows my mind where does the time go

5. Worked a lot last week. 5 days and a nice amount of hours. Not so nice is next few weeks. This week next week and I am sure the following too. But lots of hours. And a nice mid shift on Saturday which for me like never happens.

That is all for now guys. Hope you have a great week. Mine is gonna be busy. Less work hours. But a concert, comic con, gym and paddle boarding. My only free day is Tuesday. Stay tuned next weekend it is gonna be fun. Have a great one. God Bless you all!

Tuesday, July 11, 2017

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 9th 2017)

Sorry this is up later then usual. I blame the heat and all that junk. How was your week? Weekend? Hope you have a blessed day cooler then us HEAT WAVE!

1. The 3rd of July always brings this mix of sadness to me. My aunt died in 1996 on that date. And then as fate would have it in 2004 my job at barnes & noble ended when our store closed its doors for good. I would spend the next few weeks with the remaining co workers to help kill my store. We got rid of it all. I wanted to cry. It was nice to have my co workers around a bit longer and I often wonder how they are now in life 13 years later. I have a few; I found on facebook so nice but the rest I have no idea what they are up to. I loved my store. Sure it hated me to pieces. I had several managers against me but the fun of books the dream of a bookstore job I had forever and the fact it got me through my 4 years of college always make me happy sad it is gone. Sure I went on to work at another B&N in 2007. And of course Borders for almost 3 years in TN. I love books no doubt about that one

2. July 4th both me and my sister off work? This is nearly unheard of. We had such big plans. But ended up just staying home till like 8 then driving down to San Clemente which is about half hour away. We got to the beach just as the show was about to begin. So fun. Up close is better. Last time we here in 2015 we never made the beach ended up watching from a hill which was a nice thing since it was all we had. Had dinner at Dennys. Then came home. How was yours?

3. Gym time was short this week. I only went once. I had several full shifts and dead in the middle of the week on Wednesday I had a shorter closer. So I went for only 30min. With hopes of trying this again the following week. It was nice to go but felt odd barely going at all since I usually spend a minimum of 1 hr there every time I go or at least 45min.

4. Went and saw Cars 3 finally. I had my free (throw up) ticket from May. Sister had to pay. Went to the nice theater which was cool. Small theater btw but still. Not a bad movie. Not my favorite that is the 1st. The 2nd one was okay. But not a bad ending to the films. That is I am assuming this was the last one

5. Work was busy last week. 5 days and 4 were long shifts usually 8 hrs or 6. A full is 8hrs. I am glad for hours. Few more weeks till school and less hours. I get by best I can. Next week is our concert. I just remembered this. So exciting!!

Well that is all on my plate. Hope you had a great week and this week is treating you well. See you all on the weekend hopefully sooner then this late!

Monday, July 3, 2017

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, July 2nd 2017)

Welcome to the month of July. Been a bumpy couple of days here for us. But getting by best we can. How is the year half over? Every day is closer to the end of the year. Wow!

1. Rocky is on my mind. Our poor boy has issues and they aren't going away. With his bladder. With something else with that. He and Jackie turned 9 last month and its so sad. A cat that had no issues till last year has had them none stop. He is now more expensive then my dog. We love him. Of course we do. Wish he was well again and no more issues

2. Work has been alright. Busy this week lots of hours. More next week. Getting by piece by piece. Hope to have a new job by end of year. But until then I press on.

3. Gym happened twice last week. Both times were a rush barely 45min then work after which was earlier. But nice when I got to do it.

4. Hard to believe this time in 2010 we getting ready to move to AZ. And in 2007 we were getting ready to move to TN. Weird the time of all the things. I don't miss moving but sometimes I do.

5. Did the beach on Tuesday. Coronado was fun. Got to see the ocean. Go to which wich after. Not a bad time. Had fun. Been 2 years since we there and then we back and now we aren't.

Got a lot to do tonight. Have a great week everyone. And a safe 4th of July. See you all next weekend. God bless!

Saturday, June 24, 2017

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 25th 2017)

Welcome to the LAST one of these for June! This year is now flying by at full force. When I write you again friends it will be JULY! What? That means I have about a month and a few weeks before school again. So far not a lot has happened this Summer. Cleaning? No. Doing all kinds of things? No. I am lazy. How about you? Lazy Summer guess that is for me!

1. Had our first beach trip this week. Did it two days before Summer officially began on the 21st. Went with my dad, mom and sister. Only about 1.5hrs. But it was enough to get beat up by the ocean. And stand fearless before God. Let me explain. I have never felt so fearless before in the ocean. I was not afraid at all. I stood for the entire time I was there except when I fell a few times but got back up. And I felt like God is in control of the ocean so it cant hurt me. And if it hurts me then that is God allowing me to die. I got that. I was fearless. I want to face every day of my life here on earth till I die fearless as I was that day. So great beach day! Close to God. Fearless 100%

2. Did the GYM 3 days in a row! And felt it all the same. By Thursday night my body realized I had worked out hard. I did weights varying arms for every other day so legs only got once. But I use my legs a lot so that is fine with me. So gym time was great. Yes!

3. I worked 5 times this last week. My hours are going up. I am so glad that I am getting hours even for a few weeks. Almost 30 hours next week. Yes I know Summer is almost over. I am still at this job. Long as I am there lots of hours are great for me. No matter what.

4. It has been 7 years since we announced our move to AZ while in TN. We picked a great state with bad heat and something that changed us again. Sure it meant we would be back in Cali a year later. God knew this we did not. But I got an internship and my sister experience again at a LEGOLAND company. Yes that added time to what she has now. They have a great sealife btw much better then ours. I loved AZ I regret nothing.

5. My little Rainbow turned 15 on the 23rd. When I first got her I imagined a few things. That the rapture would probably happen before I lost her. I figured she had a good 18 or so years in her small dogs usually do. And I wanted her in my wedding. Well I am not married yet and the world is still spinning. God is good and in control I realize that. I am grateful for every day I have her because she is not healthy she has so many issues. But God is allowing me time with her. I pray for 3 more years at least. I am unsure if I will get married before then. I do not know if I will ever get married. But I know I love my dog like my kid and I do not want her to ever leave me. So we went to the beach some and she had fun. Not so fun was day before when I thought she had a uti and dropped her at the vet for hours while I went to work and such. My sister got her. But at least she does not have a uti and got her health exam a week early. So that was nice. But hated leaving her.

Speaking of pets. Our Rocky has another issue unsure what. Maybe uti they will let us know. He has now cost my credit card more than anyone ever. Rainbow some but Rocky more. He will be 9 on Monday and the sad thing was up until he got the other thing last year he was healthy as was Jackie. Something clicked around time he turned 8 and nothing good since. I love pets they are kids I don't want to lose him but its so much too much its not easy. God is in control I must remember this. So it has been that kind of week! Well that is all for me. How about you? I will see you all in July. Have a great last week of June.

Saturday, June 17, 2017

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 18th 2017)

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!! Doing this a day early again so I can get it up on time. It is a good habit I hope to keep. Hope you had a great week!!

1. Worked a lot last week. 5 days and my hours not bad! I am glad my hours are picking up when they do not have that many hours in the first place. Hurray for hours! Slow days sure but still yeah hours. And on Monday I won the drawing for a free gift card for the movies and candy. God likes to give me little surprises. God is good all the time. I will never forget that. But sometimes He likes to give me gifts I did not ask for. I am learning and re learning this since coming back to God a few months ago.

2. Heat wave! We are on a heat wave! I know this is not AZ where it will be 120 in a few days. But even 80's inside is miserable. Summer is almost here but its felt like it for weeks and these past few days we are in the middle of the same heat spell hitting NV, NM and AZ. I know we are by the ocean so that means it is cooler. Hope you are staying cool wherever you are as Summer gets in full swing this week

3. GYM I did that twice not three times this week. My choice. I did go faithfully on Monday & Wednesday. But skipped on Friday. I did it all weights included. I love going to the GYM. I pay for it every month I am glad to actually go not just pay for nothing. I do not regret the GYM every time I go or that we signed up last year

4. I often wonder why we ended up in AZ and then had to leave so fast. But my internship was one of those blessings I would never have had the chance to have if I had not gone to AZ. 6 years ago at this time I was enjoying my first and only internship. I was learning so much. Loving it all so much. And not wanting it to end. I loved it even the heat of walking there to and from the lightrail. I cried my last day. I never will forget my experience. I will never forget FOX10 Phoenix!

5. We got to do the Del Mar Fair again this year. We went on Thursday. My sister had picked up a shift on the only day we could go but got it switched. So we did the train again left on the 3:32. Got to the fair about 4:15. Ate food till 5 the samples again. Sat around in the plant area. Walked the areas with the displays, looked at animals. Ate some more. Rode the only ride we ride we love Sky Ride. Ate a cream puff. Left on the train at 9:39. Had fun. Not cheap. Didn't play games they raised the price for if you want a prize no matter what $10? It used to be like $5. It was hot out but would have been hotter had we gone sooner. So we had fun.

That is all for last week. Hope you had a good one. Stay cool my friends. God is good I hope you know Him. Have a great next week. Welcome Summer. Happy Fathers Day. See you in a week. :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 11th 2017)

Doing this one day early so it will be up on time! Hope you had a great week. Mine was alright I guess.

1. Did the GYM a lot last week. Well not A LOT but enough. Twice in a row. I went on Thursday then again on Friday. I would have gone on Monday too but my sister still sick so we just got pizza but nothing else. I love going to the GYM. Even if it leaves me exhausted after and I have to work so I am like tired and stuff. But that is a okay with me. I pay for it mind as well use it

2. Work was okay. I only worked 4 days. I worked on Sunday, then Monday. Both small shifts of closing. I always close. Once in a blue moon aka about once every 3 months I might not close. Then I was off Tuesday & Wednesday no requested it. I used them to clean which was nice and try to catch up on sleep. I worked again Thursday & Friday. I had yesterday (Saturday) off by request but ended up not needing it off. So I hung with my family and did some fun stuff. Then chilled at home.

3. Been seeing a lot of movies this past week. Not in theaters but on dvd. We rented out Beauty & the Beast. I must say the movie was awesome I love the great job they did. I had a feeling they would do well and wanted to see in theaters but it never happened. I also rented The Shack and loved every second of it. The movie was as feel good as the book. Mind you it is NOT easy. The book like the movie digs deep at things we all face in our relationship with God. Sure we don't all have a bad thing happen like our daughter being murdered. But we do face things like: judging others when we should not be the judge, determining who we think should be saved or redeemed, not trusting God, unsure why bad in the world, etc etc. I highly recommend. Miracles from Heaven a true story finally watched that one. Very good. Different from Heaven is for Real. But still good. Thanks for the borrow from mom.

4. So I signed up for classes in the fall. And I am all set. But will probably change again. I only for sure want to take 2 classes. The rest are maybes. Only 2 both in person. Gulp. And in other news. My online photo class I ended up getting a grade change. My teacher believed me when I said I was confused about the final being turned in. And she let me re submit it and liked my hard wrok. I went from a C to a B! I am so glad I tried.

5. Went to the beach today. Well sorta. The harbor with my parents and sister. Also did a few other things. Sure I had to get up early after not so great early bed and that was after 2 days of not sleeping well then working. But we had fun. Got dinner and a drink from starbucks. All good fun. Watching the youngest now (she still asleep maybe) while parents see a movie. They should be home soon.

Well that is all for now. Have a great week everyone. Still not working much for me. But yeah that is how it goes. Summer is coming it is almost here. Need to hit the beach stat. See you next weekend!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 4th 2017)

Welcome to June! So this was a long weekend following a not so great week. I got sick AGAIN. Different sick but sick. It is June now. And I have been sick THREE times this year. This is a record for me. You see I rarely get sick. Maybe twice a year IF that. To be sick 3 times in the first 5 months of the year does not make me happy. I am worried my immunity is bad or something. Anyways. So hope your week went better then mine. More below. As always thanks for reading :)

1. My only time for the GYM this week and due to still not feeling it I literally got dressed, sat on the bike 1 minute and just sat in the back for 2hrs. I had over 2hrs at the GYM and cause I not well THREE days later I was not able to workout. Sadly today my sister who go what I had along with my parents as well. It is really catchy. We are not doing GYM today either but for pizza. Good luck next week well this week

2. Work was slower then planned and then I called out. Yes I called out. I worked a small shift Sunday. I had Monday & Tuesday off. Then I had to call out Wednesday. I have not called out from work since 2015. So 2 years is a nice run. I lost a good 6hr shift a half a real shift. So I worked Friday and Saturday too so only 3 days not the original planned 4. Still not enough hours but I am not going to complain on here anymore about this. You never know who reads these

3. We had 2 movies last week I saw 1. But I got a free movie from the other one. More below in my sick update. My sister and me were going with my dad to see Pirates again. Well he never saw it first time but we did. But I did not. However Wonder Woman was wonderful 100%. I cheer a movie with a female lead it is so sad we never get our time. I never knew the background for Wonder Woman so it is interesting finding that out just as much when I found out the background for Super Girl. Cheers! Go see it!

4. Memorial Day I happened to not work. So I got up super early went with my mom, dad and sister while my other sister worked to the beach. We took a nice long over 3 mile back and fourth total walk along the top of the beach. What fun. Crowded cause that is where everyone goes first official day of Summer. Later dad made burgers. Not a bad day at all.

5. So Tuesday was the beginning of the end for me. Began okay. Got up early. Were going to meet up with a friend at LEGOLAND. But first go to Ikea. Then see movie with dad. See above. But we got a late start. I was super hungry going in. I had a sandwich, chips and then when my sister getting tickets I got a muffin and cookies for the road. I ate a few cookies on the way over. When we got to Ikea I thought I still hungry but began to feel funny. Now of note: I have a bad stomach and being tired sometimes causes me to feel funny. I was straight up feeling like I was gonna barf. I felt sick like shaky and my stomach so weird. Smells not fun. I laid on a bed and could not shake this. It was not going away. I told my sister I felt like I was car sick but without the car. She got me some chips on the way out. So we drove back and hit traffic. LEGOLAND never happened. Almost late to see the movie. And just as we getting off the freeway I got sick and had to throw up I thought car sick I couldn't not do it. I did it outside the car but I couldn't help it. I thought I okay that was it right. Felt funny car sick. Went to Target to clean up and get a 7up and some crackers. Off to meet dad. I was like oh no I am going to do it again. This time it was way worse. Car little this not. This a lot this was not going away. I would then stay in the bathroom doing this 3x total there while they saw the film. I called out when they done and we going home. Twice more. I thought I okay several hours of okay so I had some liquids and was a mistake. Then no more. I slept 12hrs into Wednesday. Wednesday I felt so off just fever some achy and tired. I slept and just chilled. Saw the movie Thursday. Friday I thought I okay for the gym but too shaky and dizzy so I didn't do anything. Work was a nightmare I was still dizzy and shaky at work Friday & Saturday. Sunday I began to not be so much and today I am okay finally. Almost a week long bug I gave to my whole family and I have no idea where it came from!

Well moving on there. Hope this week better. I am not working as much. And it is Summer. With no internship and no school I can finally start to enjoy my free time! Have a great week everyone. See you next weekend!
