Welcome welcome. Hard to believe this is actually my last one of these for May. What a month it has been! How was your week? Mine was busy and that was very fine with me!!
1. Our weather wow is just nuts. I cant get over that it rains one minute fine the next. Just crazy. Hot one minute cold at night and I am like are we in Winter or are we in Spring? Cause truly it seems like we are in Sminter maybe or Wing cause it is not for sure either season. And I know the rest of the USA is having their own share of odd weather too.
2. Tuesday I said good bye to my Spring show for Palomar College! I am coming back in the Summer JUST UNSURE WHEN AND THAT SHOULD BE OKAY DECIDED SOON! I hope at least. But I had a lovely last show. I did 2 of the 3 Hours live on facebook. Which was insane. I do have goals I need to get them going: look into getting a foot in the door at a station as another job if not a dj, do an internship in the fall and the radio class (that would mean me having 3 days off of a job whatever job I am at-interning possibly 2 or 3 of them and then also doing a show), and of course doing my show this summer. Are there are any jobs out there that I can do that will be Friday to Monday? Letting me have off Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? I am unsure. I am praying about this and I know it will work out according to Gods will not mine for sure. I can plan all I want but I do not want anything out of Gods will for me. EVER AGAIN!
3. Work as usual is nuts. BUT I love doing morning shifts again!! Sure I am tired as crap maybe more than ever. I was after all for 2 months just doing all nights AND IT WAS KILLING ME from the inside out and outside in. So there was that. I did morning shifts and closing shifts. I was off on Friday so I only worked 4 times this week. I might die from getting up early but I would rather die that way then die from closing 5 days a week. I am looking in June to either transferring to another position in the store or going to another store. I prefer to stay at my store but honestly don't know if they will have any openings currently. We are doing a remodel that will last from July to October. So I am doing this all just weeks before that begins. Gulp. Big gulp. But I am not meant to be at that front door for good. Just temporary I keep telling myself this is not the end of all ends.
4. Thursday we went to the Safari Park our first time this year with our new passes. Had fun in the Australia area and then saw the elephant babies and a few birds before leaving. Only there like 3hrs. But it good weather. Looked like rain felt like not cloudy and crisp not hot not cold medium well.
5. The Mixtape tour was SO MUCH FUN! I am sad it is over. I had built this up since last year and counted down to it for weeks before this. New Kids on the Block main thing. Plus Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Salt n Pepper, and Naughty by Nature. Fun fun time. our seats were not great but my sister because she said something to the lady next to us asked and they let us sit up top so we were in regular seats not bench seats that would have killed me to sit in because of my bad knees. I truly do have a bad knee I have two of them no lie. Idk why we asked oddly enough after we there a bit people kept coming up there not asking sitting standing and dancing right by us. Oh boy.
That is all for now. This week is boring and nothing going on. Just work and such. Hope to know soon when I will be back for my show. And as June approaches. Summer is coming. Hopefully better weather and such things. Beach time and all that jazz. And hopefully at least one trip to Universal Studios. Lets hope! See you all in June. Have a great week and a happy Memorial Day!! :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 19th 2019)
Welcome welcome. How are you doing? I had a really odd week and very long. And very glad it pretty much done and wrapping up another set of 4 days in a row at work. Yup
1. Work this week well Sunday I only worked 4hrs I wanted it off of course not. So I worked 4hrs after dinner with mom. I only worked 8.5hrs for 3 days. My favorite was yesterday (Saturday) and my coming Monday too. I am working 8am to 5pm shifts again!!!! I am so happy. I got to leave work Saturday at 530 after shopping some. I saw daylight I walked around I came home I relaxed. I got to bed at a good time. Sure I was tired as crap from closing Friday and running on like 2.5hrs of sleep. Hope I can sleep more tonight. But yes awesome. I'm about a month away from telling my boss I want to transfer to another department or another store. I hope for another department. Heck. I hope I can find another job before this. But I need to be gone. I am over the door. I am over the stress. I am over it period.
2. School almost done sadly. Just one more week for my show. After my 15th show I went and met with my teacher cause I had to. She and me chatted I felt very inspired to start really looking into radio. I NEED TO REALLY KEEP BEING INSPIRED!! I cant just sit around and not do something. Its been 15 years since my BA degree its about Dang time! So yeah almost done. Hope for Summer I did apply just 2hrs in the early morning. If he gave me 2 shows for 2hrs each I would take it. I am not suggesting this but if he asked me I would do it.
3. GYM did it once almost didnt at all. Got late only got 30min. But still loved it. I love working out. I don't care how tired I am before during after I love working out and truly still miss doing it all the time.
4. Mothers Day was Sunday and after spoiling mom with tons of flowers again (almost like her birthday but not as much dad didn't get her any at all shocker). I went to church with mom. I haven't been to CCOS in like forever. I love my church sorry I missed it. But I wanted to spend as much time as I Could with mom. After we home for a few hours we met my sister at Islands and had our meal. We done earl. So went with parents to harbor looked at her birds there in nests. Then I went to work. I still wish I could have just had the whole day off!
5. Its been 9 years since we went to California for my cousins wedding. That was such a fun trip! The trip on planes especially going in was no fun. But the rest yeah. Legoland, beach, wedding and Disneyland. All in a few days. We should have stayed longer haha kidding.
That all for now. This week is busy and shorter. Concert and a day less work as I requested. I feel so calm after work and not closing. I wish I could do this every time I work I truly wish. But since I cant I will enjoy these 2 days best I can. See you next weekend. God bless you all!! :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 12th 2019)
Welcome! Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!! Including my own mother. At this point in life I may never have a human child but I do have pets and those are children too. So whether you have pets as children or humans happy mothers day!!
1. School is almost done crazy as it sounds. I am working on trying to do a summer internship but will have me at school VERY early and have me having to get a pass. Little details that will have to fall in place. But I don't want to let my show go so I will do my best to keep it going. Yup. Shall see. Show 14 went well for real. And I am glad. 2 more to go crazy stuff
2. Our weather has been just so un like this time of year. I know we are in a wet year for us. But we are well past our rainy season. Yet again this week we had actual rain twice. Crazy. Including on Thursday when me and my mom almost went down to look at birds again. Bummer. Also kept me from going to the safari park with my sister. Yuck. So yeah weather nope.
3. Work is work. Almost past my 4 in a row that are crazy. Today for example more details maybe next week I am only working 4 hours. I am no longer closing after I work tomorrow (Monday). I will close sadly still on Fridays and Wednesdays and nearly close on Sundays. But Mondays and Saturdays I will be on my own. In the mean time we are coming up to my last month of 6. This means I can transfer to another part of the store or another store. AT this point I would love to just stay at my store. SO I will be asking my mgr what is open at this store and going from there. However if nothing I am interested in is open I will look into another of the other 2 stores around me. I would love to in all this just get another job. But God willing that happens details would have to include either working at least 30 hours a week or working around what I make now. Sadly with my bills and they keep adding up unless I can get 30hrs a week or less I will have to keep up paying for medical. I can get my medical back for free if I make less then 32 hours a week. I am unsure how this will work out or where I will be at the end of this year. But I cant keep doing this job. ITs still too stressful for me. I have friends here I like my store I just do not like my job. I have been patience and worked hard to get here so I will be deciding in a month where to go next...
4. GYM did it this week but not really. Sadly we got so little time we just rode the machine for a 10 min relaxing time but nothing working out wise. That does suck.
5. May 10th marked 13 years since my grandma Swank went to heaven. I miss her still terribly. I know I will never stop. After the 5th year mark came and went I realized I would never stop missing her. She was my 3rd parent I loved her like my mother and father. And she is gone. I know she is happy and I will see her again soon. But till then I will keep recalling my grandma. The one I miss the most that I have lost all my life. Love you grandma!!
Well that is all for now. This coming week might do something fun. NEXT week is the concert I cannot wait for that one. Hope you all have a lovely mothers day and week. See you again soon. God bless you always :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 5th 2019)
Welcome to MAY!! April is gone and now are in May the 5th month of the year. Crazy how close it is to Summer, end of school, and so much more. This month promises many fun things for me well I hope so. But some for sure. How was your week?
1. May 1st and 2nd has been 9 years since The Great Nashville Flood. To this day not a lot of people know about this flood. I recall few years ago I did this for a speech for class and talked in detail about the flood and how much got affected. I was talking to people in California that did not experience this flood that changed so many lives. It closed the Mall we loved for 2 years. Opry Mills re opened in 2012 but changed so much and many stores we loved never came back. That included The Apple Barn, The Aquarium Sting Rays never returned, and Barnes & Noble among those I recall. I almost lived at that mall when we lived out there. My sister worked there for 2 years plus. So I was there a few times a week while she worked. Hours slow at Borders I would spend time there. Then the floods came and flooded so much. It broke my heart when it hit the mall. It killed all their big sting rays the babies would go on to survive. Still sad thinking about it. And what timing. Just a week before our trip to California for my cousins wedding this took place. Tornados while bad we were used to. Not floods like a hurricane inland like that. I still love you Nashville TN!!!!
2. May 4th (I believe) marks 15 years since I graduated from Vanguard University. I don't admit to a lot of people I have a college degree. Maybe its shame. I am ashamed I have a degree I have done nothing with. All I have instead is $40,000 in student loan debit I can probably never pay off and will have to find ways to put off till I die. (My largest would be $300 plus a month FOR ONE BILL! IMAGINE!). I loved that school my degree and all I do not regret getting a degree. But wish I had done a minor degree too and actually had something to fall back on. I also wish I had tried harder while in college to get experience I needed for something anything. So its like a catch 22 there. I miss school but I was younger a different time and a different location. I am different now. Sure I am still trying to get into tv or radio but its different now. Way different... side note: my sister gradated days after me from Bible College so she to celebrated 15 years this year. Crazy!
3. School this week. Last minute I got a shadow for my show at 12. It threw me off. I do my live post from 12 to 1 so that was thrown off to begin 1 to 2. I was not prepared but I know he had to do it so I let him. I told him what I could and hoped he could write his paper well for class. I thankfully got the guy who wanted to take over my hour to agree to do it after my show at 3 unsure what day. Either way I am not gonna have to lose time for my show. I have only 3 left. My show went well and not bad and I had a good time. I am still believe it or not debating if I will be doing this for the Summer. I have to decide SOON so there is that... Gym before was short but fun time. I love going to the gym. I hope to be going more often now that my hours change at work soon. FINGERS CROSSED!!!!
4. Work is work. Yup. I did get my schedule finally changed. I will be working mornings twice a week finally! I am hopeful with 3 new people she might give me more mornings. I would take them for any day but Sundays. I HAVE to go to church that is a MUST for me. Sorry it is there is not if or whats about it. So there you go. I was off yesterday (Saturday) for the bird thing. I had a nice day off. It was nice. Then back to it next two days. Yup yup.
5. Bird thing happen yesterday had fun. Saw wood ducks, owl, and a few other birds. Then came home to cook, nap, and do stuff. Still the day was short and I lost time we got home late so got less done. My only Saturday off for a while I had to enjoy it while I could. Hope I get next month off too I will try so hard!
Well that is all for now. Hope you have a great week. Finally warming up out here. I am putting up the fans, and such. And getting ready for Summer. Yes. I will miss warm blankets and cozy times and by end of Summer I will not miss the fans and heat. But till then you got it. Till next week have a good one. See you all then. God bless you always!!
