Welcome to the last one of these for the month of August. This month FLEW by! And happy birthday to my cousin today oh hey! Hope you had a great week. I was trying to just now come up with a 5th thing. You see I did a lot but most of it was school related so there is that... Oh well! I tried!
1. Church was good. We had a guest speaker. He was a radio guy and I was like that is cool! I am glad that believers are in all kinds of walks of life spreading the good news. Just sayin. Harvest Crusade ended last week with nearly 10,000 people saved!! I secretly hope this is the last one and we will be home before next year you never know right. I miss the harvest and actually enjoy you can watch it on facebook live. I swear there are no ends to where FB live goes. You think its just your friends doing crazy crap. But churches and even harvest bring their services (ours included) to everyone who can see it and then share it too!! I share ours you should too if you go. Spread the love the message the promises. This world everyone needs Jesus 100%
2. I love my hummingbirds and I was kind of sad when middle of the week I had a wonderful day SO GREAT I didnt go to bed for hours and only slept 2 doing pictures (I average between 100 & 500 pictures a day and most don't go up but a lot of them do too!). SO our main gal who has been the bully for 3 months got the boot on Wednesday from this orange dude who is now MIA as well. Its so weird! He or she booted her off the main area she disappeared and I miss her singing and her weirdness. I am sure she is off somewhere in neighborhood doing her weird some place else I keep hoping he will come back. She hasn't. The orange dude that kicked her off hasn't really been seen since Thursday. So as of yesterday its just a few birds and no orange bird and no colorful one. I miss her. And the other was okay but now its just like where did they all go? Btw our birds don't migrate so its not that. They just disappear and re appear. So I was glad for a great day on Wednesday and then since then 2 dud days. Yesterday and today. I guess I take too many pictures and I am letting this get to me too much. But it is. I do go for a job interview on Monday for Hobby Lobby maybe I will have a job and this won't matter by next month. You never know! But yeah love my birds
3. GYM did that on Thursday. I was dead tired from two days of school both early times and less hours. I am like I need more sleep but I cant promise honestly if any time this semester I will get more than 3 or 4hrs a night when I am in school. I cant promise it. I know 15 more weeks of this oh boy. So after school I met my sister at the GYM. She only there for a half hour had to go to class she came later then planned and then left. I got like 45min in which was nice. But my poor knees are so swollen. Still they felt better on Friday so really pain or not it helped them. I wish I knew what was wrong with them. I need to call the doctor make an appointment for my yearly physical and get my thyroid tested and then ask about my knees. But yeah GYM time great. Planning twice next week at least!! Tired or not it needs to be done. I still miss my job and going to the gym before work. I used to workout 3x a week at least. Now a days its like 1x if I am lucky 1x a month sometimes yup
4. School is great I think. I like my creative writing class. My teacher is something else. The class has no direction but that is okay too. Show up and write something and turn something in at the end of the semester. I think my radio class will be more work gulp. Online dropping 2 of my 3 and keeping 1. I am brave to do this because between English and radio I will be busy BUT I want to take this art 100 class it has no book required so that is great. Truly the first semester where I don't have any required books. Weird. But yeah
5. Radio show 1 so much went wrong in the first 10 min but it was okay after. Still it flustered me so badly. Plus I felt the lack of 1hr and boy 2hrs flew by. I still had fun I always do. Just 15 more shows. Well 14 doing my cousins baby shower and will be sad to miss one show I have never done that before. But hey I will just find out how far in advance I Need to let my manger know this. Its not my fault they picked during the week and on the ONE day that I cant do it for sure. Any day any time like that would have been fine but Tuesdays why.
Well not much else to say. I have lots to do. I am busy trust me. Birds or no birds. Life keeps me busy. But hey I am alive and things re still here and I am still here. God bless you all. Have a great week and see you all in September!!!!
Every weekend I write down the top 5 things that happened to me from the week it ends on (usually Sundays). Stole/borrowed the idea from author Sarah Dessen. Very fun!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 19th 2018)
Welcome to the almost last of these for this month. Time is flying by. August flew by. July not so much. For real! Hope you had a great week and stayed cooler then us. With fires burning all around us and its just not fun time of the year. Fire season and its early this time too. I am over the heat BUT I WILL MISS ALL THE DAY LIGHT which will go away with the time change and Fall in like a month. Its already happening it gets dark now before 8 and the sun sets around 7:10 now. It used to be 7:30 and not fully dark till 8:15. :( I miss the day light already.
1. Last Sunday after a great church service I came home to clean. I also cleaned on Tuesday before our visit for my sisters social worker. She or he comes every year once a year. And we have to clean like mad. Its fun discovering how much crap you have and how unorganized you are under the heat and pressure. The last two weeks have been pressure for me. I am SUPER GLAD THEY ARE DONE! The weekend before my parents left our sister in our hands for 24hrs and that was not the much fun. And then last week cleaning. I am glad for a mellow last week before school begins.
2. So this week last one before next week which is school this week I write this will be school. I will be there twice a week. I am committing myself to an actual class and then of course my radio show. So Tuesdays will be my most busiest. I will have class then an hour break before my show for 2hrs. Thursdays just class. But that is it. I am still trying to get a job. That is it for in person. I still have at least one or two I want to maybe keep online but unsure on them. I am trying to get more in then just 6 units but I HAVE To do at least 6 units or my school loans will come after me they already are btw truly they are. All cause in the Spring I only took 3units. I blame losing my class I would have kept and then of course I dropped English. And secretly hoped my loans wouldn't know better. THEY KNOW THEY ALWAYS DO! My loans are going to follow me to my grave at this point I am pretty sure I will never be able to pay them off!
3. Last beach trip was on Monday. Went with mom and my sister. Only like 2hrs but it was not bad. I still got major sunburnt including top of my head worse ever ick. My poor balding head with missing hair its like worse. It finally feels better it took several days to heal it just no fun.
4. The 17th marked 1 yr since our uncle died. So the 16th marked 1 yr since I thought I was going to die. We are on track past the year mark on both. I still need to set up my yearly physical. But I rarely tell anyone that I thought I was going to die and my last day was on the 16th. I felt the death on the way and felt it was me. And turns out it was my uncle sadly. We still miss you uncle Mike!!
5. The 16th also marked our last full day in TN in 2007 our first visit. It was the date of Elvis death and we were at Red Robbin and they told us that all these people go up to Memphis for his anniversary. Thats why it was so busy that day. I will never regret TN or our trip our move or anything. That move changed me in so many ways. And one day again soon I hope to move out on my own till then I will live where I am at best I can.
Well have a great week everyone! I am back in school. I am sad about no beach time no free time. I wish I had a job but maybe I will have one soon. I am trusting God. Hard to believe September marks 6 months of UE. Which means I have just 6 months of money left to go. Gulp. But God has got me. Even when I cant see how He will work it out He will. He is faithful He never fails me. I trust my life and dreams to Him alone. Amen. God bless you all. See you all next weekend last one for this month!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 12th 2018)
Welcome to the second one of these for the month. Boy has it been hot here. How is your weather? Ours is hot hot hot and not so great causing lots of fires. Although like a lot of the time fires are usually not just caused by nothing but us humans on purpose or accident. I learned that last year when I was doing the news for my radio show before I had a radio show.
1. On Sunday the 5th my parents celebrated 40 years of marriage by going away for a full night and half a day on Monday. This meant me and my sister watching my handicap sister who is almost 32 but mentally only 2. Boy was that fun. She drank milk and made messes and diaper changes. And I was alone with her a lot. I can see now how much patience it takes to take care of her. And unsure how life will be if something happens to one or both our parents. But they had fun and came back and we off duty hurray!
2. The 6th marked 10 years since my beloved hamster Tinkerbell died and she was the best hamster. She was about 1.5 yrs old when she died while we in TN. I won't forget it. Like usual it happened around a holiday or birthday (parents anniversary). I was alone when I found her. Then we had to bury her. In an old bank box in the wood behind our apartments in the dark. While a storm threatening to come over there. Oh Tinkerbell my silly girl. With her little toys and ball. She had this tumor on her and I used to pray she would be taken soon if she was in pain as it bled sometimes. And I couldn't do anything about it. But she was happy and I was happy with her. And for the short time I Had her I really enjoyed her. RIP Tinkerbell
3. Show 8 was on the 8th. And it was my last show and I'm sad still. I thought I had one more show but I didnt. And so I had to say good bye to my show quickly. It was a good show but it didnt upload on my flash drive so now I might never have a copy of my last show. Which sucks as I am supposed to be picking a show for my teacher and this could have been it. Gulp. Hope its still on there in two weeks when I come back for Fall! After I done my teacher had to cancel my air check so none of that. I got food and waited for my sister to come get me at Panera bread.
4. Tried out this pool in Carlsbad it was fun. They didnt charge us unsure maybe last hour is free? It had a spa the water so warm in the pool and it mostly families not two adults with no kids. The spa was awesome. Tried the splash pad before we left. Then got DQ before heading home.
5. Booksale on Saturday was fun. Lots of books. But like most things since we moved back home in 2011 I have no room to put them in. Plus I keep getting repeat books so I can read them cause at this point I am unsure if I will ever again see my actual books. I wish we had a place to put our books. Even more so I wish I had more energy not time but energy to go through all the boxes in the garage.
Well my knees both are hurting so bad. IDK why but its just not good. And with a visit for my sisters social worker on Tuesday the next 2 days will be busy. Hope for a beach trip one last time on Monday. School begins in just a little over a week. Yup. Fires burning and very hot out. Hello again August. Have a good one everyone. See you all next weekend.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 5th 2018)
Welcome to August!! And Happy 40th Anniversary to my parents :) Hope you are all having a great 8th month of the year. Hard to believe how close we are to school again and then my life will be different again. Still waiting on God for my job. I faithfully look for work weekly and praying for miracles. Till then I know the right job will come along I am still waiting on the One who holds my life in His hands. Thank you God for taking care of me!!
1. I am a gardener again. I keep trying to be a gardener. When I retired years ago around the time I thought I would be married by now with a bunch of kids and a career I thought I want to garden. Why wait for that? First off I will probably never fully *retire* I will always be doing something. I have ADD I creative and I am crazy so I will never be not working. I have time on my hands. I want to see more butterflies and humming birds. I love my nature time daily God is so wonderful I am so thankful. So why not. So I planted some flowers this week finally. I planted 3 in pots. I got them on Tuesday and I planted them on Friday. I will be planting seeds and also this bed of flowers in the next 2 days. Please work please grow and please bring the birds and the creatures of insects I want to see ;) I put up 2 feeders no birds yet and I think none have used my bird bath. I think I am doing something wrong here. But I still enjoy seeing the birds and the butterflies and the dragon flies. I still am thankful. Be thankful always we are told to do so. I find so much to be thankful for every day I am alive thank you God for every day I am here :)
2. Went to the beach on Tuesday it was fun really. Took us a while to find a beach not too far away this was still like 30min from home. And not too crowded. So we tried this beach out called Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach. Having fun till my sister stepped in these holes in the sand and hurt her poor foot. This was the foot she had injured in 2015. Either way she is still nursing this back to health even now. She had to miss work on Wed because of it. So she had to get it iced that ended our trip. Then 3 people were stung by sting rays right after we out of the water. I looked at in the light of being protected from that which would have been way worse! So sorry for her though. But finally got a beach trip in yeah for that.
3. Show 7 went alright on Wednesday. I messed up several times. Badly. Dead air for seconds. Oh my. After all that after my show over my manager was telling me he likes me show enough to enter it as a specialty show for this college radio thing they do. He wants to enter one of my shows *my best show* which is which one? Not 7 for sure LOL. And then if I win I get an award. WOW!! He also wants to use me for the radio college radio thing they doing far as I understand it. I am thankful that God is blessing me in this area this is not me. I am thankful for sticking it out and watching me bloom. And watching possibly finding a career I can finally do. It will take time and I plan to keep doing this show long as I am allowed to which is 4 times if allowed at the school. I begin my first real one this Fall. I have been doing internships now twice for it till now. I am unsure where I will work in the end or when but I know that I think I have my area I think I have it. About time. Two schools, plus one I am in now. I am not saying good bye to TV chances yet but for now and probably for real I will be saying yes to radio which shocks me. I thought 10 years ago after graduating CSB in July 2008 that TV was where I was heading and radio was a maybe. I still wanted to give radio a shot but took years to even get to where I am now to even try anything with it because I was trying tv so hard. My manager told me he likes my show because there really are not a lot of 80's shows ONLY 80's shows on college radio. That makes me unique. I am unique and so is my show :) If you want to check out 30min of my show go to: http://www.facebook.com/djhollyhobbie
4. Rode the boat with my parents for their anniversary which is actually today when I post this. We have been doing this since 2015! This is my first time doing this not having a job weird right. I usually have to ask for the day off from work. Had fun minus stealing a guys fishing line ugh. And the rules that kept us from sitting on the boat. Its okay my 2 bad knees my sisters bad foot but we tried and still had fun. Flew by. Weird how 1hr flew by and usually it doesn't. It felt way short. We did 2hrs last year and it was too much. Maybe can we just do 1.5 next time haha
5. First Saturday of the month yesterday the 4th means birdie time with mom. Had fun. It was cloudy then sunny then really hot. Still we saw birds we have NEVER seen before. I am happy with that one. Had fun of course just tiring. I was exhausted from less sleep for the boat and then less sleep for this. Took a nap. I love naps but in this heat (we have no a/c) its a killer but this time it was necessary!! So yeah bird time was fun. Next Saturday is a book sale again so yup.
Church was good last week. It spoke to me. I sometimes wait hold that I don't like letting others as in other believers hold my burdens. I think of it as complaining which is a sin and something I am working on with Gods help in not doing. I also don't like making them upset so I rarely tell others my pains and my problems. I tell God I figure that is enough. Sunday was a reminder that we are not only supposed to allow other believers to bare our burdens but we should bare theirs. Then I realized I am a person who doesn't mind baring others burdens while not wanting to do the same for my own. Weird right. I just don't like to hurt people its so hard to explain it. So that really spoke to me. Its okay I am okay with learning these things while realizing I need to change. I come back to Jesus hand it to Him and believe it will be okay. Well have a good week everyone. Less exciting for me but still not doing nothing. In fact still school ends in December I will not have any weeks anymore where I won't be doing something several days a week. See you all next weekend. God bless you all!
