Wow! Last one of these for the month of June. June is over as of tomorrow. Crazy huh? What a month it has been. We are now over half way through 2019 speeding towards the end here we go... How was your week? Mine was so busy this is more like a weekend 6 or 7!
1. My dog Rainbow turned 17 on the 23rd. While that was a week ago I was not able to celebrate cause my job wouldn't give me the day off I asked for. SO I had to celebrate twice with her plus on her birthday. On Saturday the 22nd me and my sister took her to our local park where shocking she enjoyed herself even running around a little dragging me at times faster then I was able to go. Oh baby. Then yesterday (Saturday the 29th) we took her for a beach drive. While she cried like an old lady cause she doesn't like to do anything without making such sounds. God was giving her a beautiful evening. A rainbow appeared over the beach coming up over the pier pretty much over us on both sides. Followed by a beautiful sunset. Awe inspiring. God is good! He was giving my little rainbow a special day even she could not see it. It was very much something I will not forget. My Rainbow by a rainbow :) As always I pray for more birthdays with my baby but as time is never promised I treasure every year she is with us and every moment I still can hold her in my arms even if she sounded like a person tonight to the humor of us all including those outside the van by the beach ;)
2. My show number 3 was not bad really. I had fun I really did. I love doing my little show and piece by piece experiencing more and more what it is like to be a radio dj. I want this to never end even though I know someday it will. Till next week see you then okay yeah.
3. Well after my show we decided to do our first beach trip. It was like a massive failure. It was cloudy overcast cold and almost rainy at one point. Plus low tide and my stupid phone not letting me keep any pictures I took. It was like we never there. 2 hours later we left freezing to go home and change and such. Ugh. Lets hope next time is much better yes please!!
4. Work is work. I had to call out of work on Friday though. I got myself sick. Yes sir I have a cold began with sore throat on Wednesday night that turned half fever half achy bones on Thursday. SO I called out and spent Friday sleeping and laying around trying to rest. But alas it is still here. I pray it ends soon. It picked as always the worst time to get me sick. With a lot of days of less sleep plus lots of activity this week oh why now.
5. Thursday we did a trip to Dana Point. Of course I was sick so I spent half walking around taking pictures half sleeping in the car with all the windows up and the sweatshirt on cause frankly I felt like royal crap. But my mom had fun and I did get some pictures I have yet to look at. I take too many pictures now a days. And need a better way to save them then just putting them on my computer and deleting them off the card they came on...just saying. Oh well. Well Thursday evening went to the Bible study book club. That book I am reading is really GOOD! I have to catch up I have honestly only read chapter 1 then chapters 7 & 8. I have a month to catch up the other chapters before we come back. I like our group. I am slowly getting to know these ladies. They are nice people. I am slowly trying to connect at my church that I truly do love. I need friends so I am glad being with christians believers yes for sure. Had fun. Just was sick so that was not fun. I still went!
AND BONUS
6. June 28th always brings a bitter sweet to me. It is the day that Patches & Princess would be this year 27. I miss our first cats. I am unsure if we will see them again but I have to hope we will and they are together till we do. And of course the 25th marked 10 years since we lost Michael Jackson. Has it been that long? The 26th is the 11th birthday for Jackie & Rocky. Unsure when they actually born but it was in June. I love our crazy cats and pray they have many more birthdays to come.
Well this week will be busy if not busier then last week. So stay tuned. Have a good one and a happy 4th of July. See you next weekend in the month of July. God bless you always :)
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, June 23rd 2019)
BIG Happy Birthday to my little girl my dog my child my friend Rainbow!! 17 today so crazy. As time goes on I am unsure how much longer I will have her. So I celebrate the moments and enjoy her every minute I can. Love you little one!!
1. Went to the GYM this week on Monday. Not bad time. Sure I felt like I dying cause I had just worked 3 in a row (not 4 I know but still). Yes still we worked out. And I was glad. Too bad we dont go that often so hard to get over there but we try we truly do. Yes GYM!
2. Show #2 went good. I was a bit tired and didnt really do much as I wanted. In fact I Fell asleep almost while on the air a few times. LOL. Good thing I didnt actually fall asleep. Imagine that one. Nope I dont want to ;)
3. Work is work. Blah. Worked my usual week and such. Glad for my Saturdays and Mondays. Stressed on my Wedneasdys and Fridays. And too numb to notice what I am on Sunday cause I dont close but I still get off kinda late. Sure I am exhausted I sleep very little now a days. most days I am up early after bed late. For now its fine. Unsure if it will ever be fine all the way. I do wish I could get all mornings except on Sundays. Then I could get more sleep because I would force myself to go to bed early. Not happening now maybe ever. Sad.
4. Went to Santee Lakes on Thursday not our usual Whelan. Not a bad time. Sure its like 45 min from home. I got sunburned cause the sun was not out here but there it was like summer. Yup. Came back to yup clouds again. Yes sir our weather is weird. But had fun with birds some I have seen before some not so much.
5. Wednesday was my favorite day of the week. I met up with my Pastor and his wife for the second time since last year I did it in November. We chatted about all kinds of things. I looked forward to this meeting for 2 weeks and I was so sad when it over. I am a new person slowly but surely changing day by day to another person to a better person. And with the love and care of my pastor I will be better each day of course thank you Jesus. Anyways. We met up for 1hr 38min longer than last time. Then rushed home to rush to work. Thursday evening I tried out the book club and it was fun. Sure I knew like 3 people there maybe 4. The book is good I am slowly reading it. I will do my best to go to the meeting next Thursday before they take a break till August. Yup yup. I am an introvert so this was not fun for me but I am trying to break some introvert things. Not easy mind you not one bit.
Well that was a full full week. Next week won't be as full but hey things happening. At least something planned next two weeks on Tuesdays so that should be fun. Sure I will be tired but still will enjoy them. Life is too short to worry about sleep. Have a great week everyone. One more of these before we enter July. And Happy First day of Summer as of yesterday it is finally here again!! :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 16th 2019)
Welcome! Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there including me. Hope you had a great week. Mine was slow but more eventful not necessarily in a good way but yeah stuff happened.
1. Its hard to believe its been 8 years since I began my internship with FOX10 Phoenix News. I had the best summer ever. I was at the station a few times a week. Cause I had no job it was like my job. I went there and took notes and helped out. I did a ride along and helped write news that made me think I could have a knack for writing news to be read on the air. I might still! Either way it was fun. And I am glad I did my internship. If the only reason we moved to AZ was for that the I would be happy to say I am glad we gave it a go.
2. My show is back!!!! I am super happy. Sure its at 7am and I barely slept for this first one and no promises of that changing. But I had so much fun. I love my show and I am glad to be back to that. Working on it as we speak for week 2. Getting my experience in. Trying new things. Including talking after songs which I dont do. Its fun and not hard and easier then I thought. I am unsure if I will keep it up. I guess if I have nothing else to say I could talk after a song not just before it. Unsure. But yeah fun times.
3. Did the bird thing only for 45 min but still had fun on Thursday. Got some birds including a new one we haven't before which was great actually. Afterwords I came back and slept for several hours I was so tired. Yawn. But yeah glad we did that.
4. Work is work. Still glad for my mornings and not all closings. Now that one of the main morning people is gone I will be stuck not doing garden on Mondays :( but maybe if they hire more people I can finally get more morning shifts. I know who needs sleep right? But I LOVE not closing and I wish for more days where I am off by 5. I would love to work 4 out of 5 like this leaving only Sundays to working till 10. Yup. But I am also end of month or beginning of next month asking about transferring to another position. I also want to look for another job I have been starting this but it will be a long process.
5. So Friday instead of working I stayed home all day. My dog who is not young and getting older has a bad heart. And a collapsing thing in her neck for a few years. Her medicine wasn't working so I freaked out because she's like coughing non stop for hours. So I called out of work. Dropped her a the vet. She was there for 6 hours till we got her took forever rand then forever to get her. I did sleep a bit more while waiting. But not much else. It was nice having a Friday off once she back home. Yes to the vet she is old and she is sick and we could lose her but I believe she has much life in her and believe I will have her at least another year. Only God knows but I have to believe this. I love her a lot and I am glad she is okay and not even losing as much weight as I thought she was. Yeah!!!! Love you baby girl.
That is all for now. More to come this week. And next week. But sadly I am pretty sure June will end without us being able to go to Universal Studios at all. We haven't been since like April? SO once for me twice for my sister. But with us both working so much its just hard to go. I thought we would go this month. Now unsure. See you all next weekend! God bless you always.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 9th 2019)
Welcome to June weekend number two. I would say our weather is behaving I think we are finally heading towards Summer. About time right? Am I right? ;) How was your week? Mine was slow boring and zero fun but here we are! At the end again. This week promises many things including the return of my radio show and me losing more sleep on Tuesdays LOL.
1. Our weather has been June gloom like bad gloom. I'm used to this. But really some days its perfectly fine. The clouds broke through yesterday and I saw the sun and blue skies for the first time in days. And at night stars. SO awesome. I love Summer!! I mean its not my favorite season (that is still what we are in Spring till the 20th). But the gloom is gonna finally bring some heat. By heat they say 70's next week? I will take it! Hopeful for maybe a beach trip yeah maybe next week? :)
2. Thursday has become bird day with my mom. I literally dont sleep in anymore except on Wednesday and Fridays now a days. But thats okay. I am tired no matter what. Why not have fun while being tired? (I dont call getting up early for work fun but its more fun then closing 5 days a week!). So we had fun for like 1.5hrs. Then I came home and went back to bed for a few hours. Got to see a weasel I guess those are rare to see. He or she just popped up by the water looked around and then disappeared. So cute!!
3. Work this week per bore. But I still love my mornings. I know they struggle but I cant help it. Its not my fault no one is scheduled. I would prefer to work mornings every day but Sundays. Those are my church day! I will never let a job take my place of church again! I have huge panic attacks anxiety at its finest on Wednesdays and Fridays. I am too numb on Sundays and tech that is not a close I get off 1 hr before store closes. So yeah. Work is work. I know I am supposed to leave my store I am not supposed to move to another position. I just need to take my extra time with my not there energy and apply to jobs. I want a real job or an office job. Something where I can sit down as much as possible. My knees and my bad feet would thank me. My body is NOT happy with my decision 20 years strong this year to continue to do retail jobs! :(
4. GYM we did it once last week. Just on Monday. My sister got me late from the store after work. We got pizza. Then small workout. Small as in 30min tops. I felt like death on a stick. I wanted to drop by the end of the day my 4 in a row I am always so tired. I was tired btw when I closed all 4 days too but its worse. But its better too. I am confused. But it makes sense. I love the gym. Hope we to go back again soon :)
5. Happy 31st Birthday to my dog Cocoa. I got my baby girl my first dog in 1988. I was not even 9 years old when she graced our lives. She got so big around 100 pounds. She died on December 5th 2001 at 13.5 years old. Which is pretty old for a big dog. I will always miss her. If pets are in heaven I hope to see her there. I have to believe we will see our pets again at sometime I am just unsure. I miss you girl!
Well that is all for now. This week will celebrate a look back at my first an only internship so far. (Actually my radio show is an internship too so never mind what I just said haha). Hope you all have a great week. Mine will be sorta busy but tons of fun. Till then and back again. God bless you always :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, June 2nd 2019)
Welcome to June! June has so many promises and such. This month I hope for things like going to the Del Mar Fair once, universal once, there will be Fathers Day, the cats turn 11 and Rainbow turns 17. We recall Cocoa my dog and our cats Patches & Princess all June birthdays now gone. And today is my cousins birthday. That is June. And SUMMER and hopefully warmer weather, beach days, and my radio show coming back! See ya May welcome to June!
1. Been trying to enjoy my time off this week! On Tuesday my first of two Tuesdays off (if I dont do my show on Tuesdays then never mind this but I am thinking I will get this spot not the one on Thursday). I cleaned some, also I planted my two plants with hopes they grow and dont die. Thursday I went with my mom to the bird thing. My job (lame) would not let me have the 1st off to do the bird thing. Idk why. So we went Thursday and had fun. Except my bug bite that wasn't a fun time. Ha.
2. Workout this week just 1! But next week the gym is a goal at least once maybe twice. We shall see! Anything better then nothing. I did a walk at home with my baby girl. And then a bike ride. I called it walk with Jesus we went for a walk. It was lovely 100% yes yes. I missed walks. I truly did. I am glad to do this with my baby. She cant walk much I did carry her some but yeah we had fun. Mini workout.
3. Working on my stuff for my future show unsure when it begins I think next week! Sooo soon as I know I can finally label my next notebook set and get that going and start planning. I hope I can somehow pull the hours off. I am going to try to spend an hour or two each week at school adding songs to my playlist. I am going to also look into doing a blog and hoping my manager will possibly put it on our blog if not I might just make it my own blog and bounce if off my page. I want to actually look into doing an internship in the fall and the class too. If I can do both I would be at a radio station for a few days each week, and doing my show once a week, while trying to figure things out. Trying to get as much experience and foot in the doors as possible. I had this crazy notion that I would LOVE to work at KRTH someday soon. They currently doing 70's 80's 90's music GREAT TIMES! Its 80's plus 70's and 90's. I wouldn't mind if they doing 80's 90's and 00's. Depends on how long it takes to get there. Mind you this is going to be moving to Los Angels a hard market to get into and a station that is very popular. But the idea just popped in my head and I let it linger there. If its Gods will it will happen. Till then keep getting experience at school and work on getting a real internship too yes.
4. Work this week blah. I am glad still for morning shifts. I love them so much! They make me SMILE while my two closings still give me a pound and a half of anxiety and make me want to cry. I hate them. I hate it all in general but I am trying to just live and work where God put me till I can move on. But end of this month I WILL be talking to my boss about transferring to another part of the store. Starting with what is open in our store or maybe to another store. I cant keep doing this. I am not meant to be up there. Its too stressful. I hope I can not be in as much pain on my feet if I am walking around and not able to really sit. So sitting I will miss. But even this is hard to sit sometimes especially when it busy.
5. Hard to believe 8 years ago at this time we in California having fun with our family. We planned a nice little vacation to Cali from Arizona. Brought the babies and came by car. Did theme parks and hung out with family. It was fun. I wonder if we would have worked so hard to come out to Cali if we had known we would be moving back home just a few months later. Live and learn I guess.
Well that is all for now. Hope you all have a great week. Mine is gonna be another boring one. Till I am back on the radio yeah. And nothing else to think about for now. Except new jobs and future jobs and keeping my eyes on Jesus one day at a time. God bless you always. See you next week!
