Welcome to September. I am unsure what this month holds. A few birthdays, not as much as August, and of course Fall so good bye Summer. I will miss you Summer. I will miss also the extra day light hours.
1. School this week. Probably dropping my library classes online. I cant seem to keep up with them and they odd. The teacher is odd. In general I am unsure why they are odd. I liked the only class I took a few years ago but different teacher maybe unsure. Either way sad to see them go. But I will have to complete one more online class to be okay with creditors for this semester. I still wish I could have taken an in person class. Maybe in the Spring shall see but no promises! Show 2 was good! I just need to get to show 3 posted faster and not wait last minute to post stuff not cool at all really is not! I am gonna try harder I promise
2. Today marks 8 years today actually that we found out we had to move back to California. I watch my memories every year on facebook as I tried so hard to get a job. We were so hopeful. We had people loaning us money and our church giving us money so we could make rent. Only to have them nearly laugh in our face ask for much more and force us to leave our apartment just 10 days later. I miss AZ but know we are supposed to be here. I dont question God anymore on this. I just trust him. Still it breaks my heart each year this date when I recall how fast we had to pack up and how much it broke us to leave our 4 years of being adults only to return home. Maybe one day again I will move out on my own but at this point unsure where or when.
3. Work is busy as usual. Still short handed sadly. Still spending several nights a week closing on my own. It wont end and only gets worse from here I am unsure why. I must remind myself I still can get another job this isn't forever. I dont have to torture myself. And if I meant to be out of this job then it will work out no matter what. Just keep going not give up. TRY HARDER!
4. Thursday went to Universal Studios first time since March. My sister has gone there twice before me so she has gone 4 x now I have only gone 2 x this year. I hope we get to go back 2 x more at least. Its not just about getting time to go but having the $$ to do so. But we had fun even though it sucked they only open till 6 so we only got like 6hrs there. Rode 4 rides plus 1 ride twice (Harry Potter got stuck so we went back for a second time to fix being stuck and recking the ride).
5. Saturday got off work to go to a baby shower for my Pastors daughter. It was so much fun!!!! I loved being with all these women from our church. I love showers in general they make me want a baby and I dont think I am going to ever have one. But I will pray for her she is due in October so like one more month to go.
Well that is all for now. Tuesday we almost did the GYM but they putting in new equipment and were closed right when we came NO JOKE. Sure they opened back up hours later but we couldn't come back. Sadness :( This week will try for at least one workout. See you all next weekend. Have a good week!!!! 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, August 25th 2019)
Wow it is the last one of these for August. That is insane. That means we have just 4 more months of this year left. September will be a year since I was diagnosed with diabetes I must make a new appointment for blood test and see where we are with these meds. I only had them for a year and unsure what is next. I think I am doing an okay job. I do fail a lot more than when I first began. But tbh I am still looking out for me and still watching carbs even if I have not so perfect days...time will tell how well I am doing or not so well
1. Did a small beach trip Tuesday. Just went and put our feet in for a few minutes and collected a few shells. Not a bad trip but not the last. That will be more than likely next week or the following unsure when. But yeah love the beach no complaints at all.
2. Show #1 I am happy to be back a bit later in the day, even if I am still tired. And happy to be doing 3 hours again. A bit more work. I spent so much time preparing for show 1 because of the new notebook and new stuff. So there is that. I need to get to work on show 2 which is coming up very soon. Gulp.
3. Work is blah. I called out on Wednesday cause I had a sore throat and then I come in Friday and they tell me that it didnt have me as calling out. I have my number that confirms I called out I will talk to my HR boss on Monday I guess. Sigh. Then I got the 31st off after much fighting. I collected my PTO for Wednesday even if it doesn't show up I called out. And I left 45min early on Saturday giving me a half a point off and costing me like $10. That is work for the week for real. Need more people yes please
4. Visit with sisters worker came on Thursday. I spent like 10hrs preparing for a like 20min visit. Glad it done and we passed. Also Thursday evening went to the women's book club. I plan to try to do the study in the fall btw. I am addicted to these women to all involved I am addicted to all this. I crave the love I am getting from all of them and I Miss them when I am not near them. It is so weird. Who am I?
5. Saturday after much prayers and fighting I went to harvest crusade with father. I had asked someone from the study group could not leave work that early today sorry. My sister nope she working. But my dad shocking said yes. He wanted to go. I am glad I took him. Got to volunteer, hear a great message and then pass out bibles after. Fun time.
Well this week is two things big wise. Going to universal studios haven't been since March! And a baby shower that I still need to shop for. So have a good week. See you all in September. God bless you always.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 18th 2019)
Hello everyone. Summer is still happening in our area. It was hot today again and that was nice when it is cool but when you are out in it. Yikes. My first experiences of this at a job where I am by a door is very interesting indeed. I have a small fan I keep on me and it helps to stay out of the sun. How was your week? Mine was not dull but not busy like medium well.
1. Yesterday marked sadly 2 years since my uncle Mike died. I still recall the day so well because of my own health issues. I was in so much pain I had NO idea what was happening. I was learning to trust God every day more and more with my own health. I really thought I was dying. I spent the day before he died thinking it was *my* last day on earth. This is not something I share with a lot of people and I am unsure if I shared it here. My sister and me went to the La Jolla aquarium Birch and the beach after. We had such a lovely day. Beautiful stars that night. I recall how much I loved the day and felt like it was my last on earth. Not knowing that hours later it would be the last day for my uncle. He's happy now with Jesus and we miss him a lot especially my dad. This was one of those deaths greatly impacted our whole family probably the biggest one since my grandma died in 2009 (we lived in TN at the time and didnt get to say good bye to her in person but did speak on the phone few weeks before she died). I look forward to heaven so much with so many relatives to be with again. 2 years later here I still am and here he is not. So there you go. You just DO NOT KNOW when your last day will be on earth. Love your family & friends, dont go to bed upset, forgive do not fight no bitterness. Love each other like Jesus loves you. Life is precious. Spend it wisely till you are called home too.
2. Work this week blah. As always busy and crazy and short handed. We need more people up front. Its torture for me to have no one up there now on Fridays again when we have so many people and soon to come Sundays too. :( Worse is I need to look for another job a better job and my energy to do so is zilch. I need to work harder at this but till then. Keep on pressing on. Work is work.
3. My last show was an okay success a little of a mess. I was doing stupid crap because of why I dont know. But I had fun. And I look forward to another semester with plenty of more time on the air and more experiences. My goal is to be on the air another year while looking for a job I can do as foot in the door. God willing I will be closer to my career by this time next year!! Fall 2019 here I come!!
4. Tuesday after my show I sped back to meet my sister. We went to Legoland for 3hrs at the water park. It was a fun time. By time we got there we only spent about 2.5hrs there then cleaning up. Plenty of time to ride a few rides and get plenty of sun. Long tiring day. Came home and took a nap eventually. Fun day!! We go once a year to the water park and time was short we almost didnt get this one in for the year.
5. Thursday mom and me went to Whelan Lake for the bird thing we do once a week if we can. Had fun. Saw a few birds. It went from cold to very hot fast. But we still had a blast. Nice day. Came home for a nap and not much else oh well.
That is all for now. This week promises the return of my show, the return of my book club for my ladies group from church, and much more. Plus work and the beach. One more of these this month which is crazy in itself how close to September we are YIKES!! Oh and the visit for my sister I do not look forward to that happening. All on Thursday of all days... see you next weekend. God bless you always!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 11th 2019)
Hello again! This week was a bit busy but not as busy as it could be sadly. I mean I got little done and on the two days off I did even less. But I had fun. How was your week?
1. Monday was my parents 41st anniversary. I was excited to go on the boat ride we do every year since I am unsure when but its been several years now. We had fun. But it felt so short? I am unsure why :( I fought to get it off work and I will pay for it because I couldn't afford to actually have it off. So that will be on my next check... After we done went home and kept an eye on my sister aka she slept and I worked on my show and tried to not fall asleep. Dang tummy meds last 24hrs so from 10am to 10am next day I was like a dead head. I did take a nap at some point but not much and didnt help much either. zzzzzz
2. The 6th marks 11 years since my hamster Tinkerbell died. Unsure if she is in heaven or if I will ever see her again. But she was the best and ONLY small pet we have owned. Well she was mine but still. All our pets growing up were fish up until I got my dog in 1988 followed by the cats in 1992. We had a bunny when I was very small like 4 but gave it up for a petting zoo as it got too big. I still one day would like to own a bird but that will be years from now when we have no longer cats or dogs sad thinking about that. I prefer waiting for now. But yeah Tinkerbell fiesty little thing bit me sometimes. But we had fun. I was sad how fast she died. She had this growth on her that maybe had cancer in it. I felt so bad she was alive with it I used to pray she would die if it was Gods will cause honestly I did not want to see her suffer and I couldn't do anything about it. I had just been going to get her out of our downstairs bathroom. I kept her there during the Summer cause it was cooler than my bedroom upstairs. I realized she was gone and I spent several hours crying while waiting for my sister to come home. That night as a Summer storm one of many threatened us we buried her using a check box in the woods area behind our apartment complex. Unsure how long she would stay that way since it rained a lot how long take for her to come out. But we couldn't keep her body in our apartment. It took me 2 years to finally throw away her stuff shortly before our move to AZ. I couldn't bare to do it just left it in the closet like nothing up. Oh Tinkerbell my little fun friend.
3. Show #9 was not bad really. I messed up like once or twice not much. After I discovered I did not have enough hours for my internship so I had to re think hours and add some for future stuff and have my boss sign it. He dropped it next day off. Hope that helps. Man are they stricter then my other teacher. She didnt care if we got all the hours just close. Way different. I had figured I would get a C then I found out you have to get all the hours something they did NOT stress enough when we had our meeting like 9 weeks before :( Anyways. Glad radio class is back on for fall and the next time I will deal with them wont be till the spring. One more show to go!!
4. Work is work. Nothing special. One less day this week made it interesting indeed. And confusing. Not working twice in a row threw me off beyond belief. I am sad we dont have enough people working nights. Friday was a true struggle that will continue next few weeks :( hope we hire more people soon!!
5. Thursday for like 2hours went to the bird whelan lake place by us. Haven't been in like a month at least. Not a lot there but still had fun. Followed a few birds around. Took a few pictures not a lot. Came back home to nap and work on my show.
Well that is all for now. This week promises not as much either. But the good news is we are going back to school soon AND end of month Universal Studios is happened finally :) Also hopefully I am almost over this stupid cold of mine had it 6 weeks about time. God is good! God bless you all. Have a great week :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, August 4th 2019)
Hard to believe it is now AUGUST! This is the 8th month of the year. August always makes me think of school going back, fall coming, and warmer temps. Most of our warmer temps are in July and August. I like August as its an EVEN month making it more favorite of mine. But I still like June for Summer I like the cooler days of Summer more than the hotter ones. I'm weird like that. What is your favorite Summer month?
1. On Monday night after work we finally saw The Lion King. My rating is 4.5 stars. I actually liked seeing it as live animals but a bit was not like the cartoon I love. Because it was real life. So there is that. I will always love the cartoon a bit more! But they did a FANTASTIC JOB and honestly most of the cartoon was there. Not all of it but most of it. The Lion King was one of my last childhood cartoons that I truly do still love. I had such great memories seeing it. I will admit here *blushes* I developed a small crush on Nathan Lane for a bit there for voicing Timon. I did fall in love with meerkats and I still do love them! Real meerkats are 100% adorable and small and just great. So yes if you like the cartoon see the movie you might like it or not. Most who have seen that I know have loved it. :)
2. Work this week BLAH! I did get my pay for my sick day hurray for that one!! I also got them to finally give me my parents anniversary off so we can once again do the boat ride with them then later watch my sister. Yes I will pay for this (the cost of a day off with this check as opposed to the one after it is horrible I just dealt with it my last pay period not the one coming this week!!). Its sad how many bills I have that rely on me to have 40hrs a week its scary. :( But yeah work is work. I am sad they stopped having double coverage at night. Sure a mid is nice but then its 4hrs pure alone time. Next week begins Fridays alone time. Not a single person to cover me from beginning to end all getting off by 4! Why? :( We have enough coverage I am unsure why they are doing this... other than that I am glad for morning shifts and those are still my favorite. My favorite two days of week are Saturdays & Mondays. Followed by Sunday. Wednesday and Friday I weep for you.
3. School show 8 was great I think. I had fun of course I did. I dont mind doing my show. That was a good time! So I was glad to do that. And mostly zero mess ups. So fun there. Sad just 2 more shows. But I AM COMING BACK IN THE FALL! It will be like last year an actual class with actual homework and stuff too. I will be doing at least one online class not all 3 others signed up for. I need 6 units and in the end I am unsure which will win me.
4. Tuesday after school we tried to do another beach day. First I got us each a boogie board at a cheaper place and we all set for a few hours. More like ONE hour because it was way enough. The waves so powerful I got knocked down 3x and could have drowned right there on the shore. I lost my shoe and my leg almost got pulled out of place. A pain I felt later on. I also got sand burn from kneeling in the sand trying to get up when I tried to ride the waves and failed massively. It was cloudy and cold but mean waves in the end is what got us not the weather. Ugh. Try again next week maybe or the following.
5. Thursday I got up early and got a doctor appointment. I went a few hours later. I do have a sinus infection. I am now on antibiotics that I pray work soon. I will take for 10 days. I need a miracle. This cough/cold is driving me 100% nuts as we head towards 6 weeks of this :( Mom paid for me to get this and I am thankful for that. I am so broke!
well that is all for now. This week is mellow sorta. I know this month we will do a water park, more beach trips and for sure universal. Plus school is up and running again in 2 weeks!! Crazy stuff!! Hope you have a great week. As always God bless you :)
