The Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 31st 2020)

Welcome to the last day and last one of these for May. Things are changing and that is good. God is still on the throne. Praying everyday for more normal less not no matter what things are changing that is good.

1. Church is gonna be back this week actually as I post this we will be at church. However that I will talk about next week. This week we had it online for the last time. And the governor on Monday told us we can open up. And Tuesday our pastor told us we really are gonna open up today. I love it! I miss church. I miss my friends. And more important I miss my pastor. I know its gonna be weird for a while but its gonna be okay.

2. Rainbow my love. 33 weeks later. Well on Tuesday I had a day. In the middle of being so excited about church my heart was breaking. I had woken up just plain MISSING Rainbow worse then usual. I ended up being sad all day. And ending my day crying my eyes out. Grief is weird. I will never get it. That some days I am fine others I just miss her so much. I just want her back. I just want life to be back to normal and it hasn't felt normal since she left me. My baby girl :(

3. Work blah. Work is busy and people are annoying. And I hate these masks. I hate that we gotta wear them I hate making them wear them and then I hate they aren't wearing them. I just want out of this crazy store. Maybe Hobby Lobby or some place else or for Petes sake maybe a radio station. Idk. But I cant keep working here. Not when one day we will get back to checking receipts which I already hated and will hate even more so. Ugh.

4. Workouts I did three this week. Tuesday & Thursday I did Zumba. And on Wednesday I did a wiifit. We also did our bike ride on Monday which was fun. I love bike riding. Next week we doing it twice. Yes! Twice! I am thrilled :)

5. Wednesday was a weird day. I had a phone in doctor visit. That ended with me getting my prescriptions renewed. But I never saw him and I dont think I was charged. All over the phone. This is a strange world we live in.

Well that is all I can think of. We are moving on to June and heading towards the middle of the year. And here we are...still!. Have a great week. God bless you!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 24th 2020)

One more of these left for the month is next weekend! Things are changing and I hope and pray its for the good. Keep believing keep praying!!

1. Work this week was blah! I skipped work Sunday (see below here), but I did work the rest of the week. I am at 5 days a week next 2 more weeks then back to 4 again the following? Huh. I am confused. I truly am okay with either 4 or 5 days a week. I did a 3 day week once few weeks back that was fun. I am gonna start looking for a new job. Now that I hear places are opening back up. I am beyond over my job. I wanted out back in February. I am gonna pray and start applying. If its Gods will it will happen! So for now here I am stuck at this job stuck in the middle of this. Stuck as an essential worker with no real breaks. I am not afraid of getting sick but this whole thing has gotten me sick of my job even more so. Its exhausting us all so much :(

2. I skipped work last Sunday the same day I posted this. I only say that because I felt like crap and I was not gonna go to work like that. Yes it cost me hours but truly I rarely call out. I haven't called out since my pastor had a stroke and I couldn't handle work so the next day I called out. That was my last time back in March. I used PTO for that one. I get little issues with things I deal with. Tbh I have PCOS and I have things that it messes with me and with my normal woman things. And I sometimes feel like crap. Instead of toughing it up I called out and slept more. I was shakey and dizzy all day. While I was NOT sick I have not been since February. I know they dont want us at work if we feel crappy even if we not sick. The funny thing is my co worker who has called out no reason for 2 weeks now called out for the 3rd week last Sunday and so we both called out they had no closer! LOL! Oh boy.

3. Workouts this week. I did 2 Zumbas 1 on Tuesday & 1 on Thursday. My 1 on Thursday was longer. I also with my sister did 2 bike rides. We did 1 on Monday & 1 on Wednesday both after working. Exhausting but fun. So its tiring but fun getting in bike shape. Not bad really. I miss the gym but when gym is open again I want to keep doing this too. I dont want to stop wifi or Zumba I am kinda hooked now. On both this and the gym!

4. ZOOM last one for this week for the fall/spring session. What an amazing journey. I have never done a small group I have never done a women's bible study. It was all new for me. I did the summer book club that got me hooked on this and then I realized I wanted more. But I wanted to bail. From day 1 it was hard for me. I over came so much with God. I love everyone so much. Our last one was very short. Only about 45min total maybe 50. I had a bad day on Thursday I woke up feeling off and it made me edgy and I was crying so much. So my dear friend I called her after the study since we done early. And she made me feel better. She is truly a gift from GOd. She is a friend good for my heart. She made me feel better. I didnt want to cry anymore. I was okay. I felt better talking about the mess that had gotten me where I was. It just made me happy. She is a gift from God. I love her so much!!

5. Speaking of which. We hung out on Tuesday. She came over for a walk around my neighborhood. Unlike last time she didnt bring her dog. And we didnt talk after for long. But she made time to come hang out with me. I hope we get to hang out again next week. And there is a very good possibility that we will be back in church soon. Maybe next Sunday. I am praying so much. Every day for this!! But I am gonna miss hanging out. I am gonna miss all this. Maybe it will stick. Maybe I can still hang out sometimes with her. I can check in with my friends and call them. Why do I gotta wait to see them at church only? Exactly!

Well I am unsure what will happen this week but I am praying for miracles. That God will work things out and we might be back in church in a week. It could happen it could. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD! Have a good blessed week. See you next weekend. God bless.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 17th 2020)

Welcome to this middle of the month time. We have two more of these to go. And I'm praying by the time we hit the 31st we will be back at church. I am trying to be hopeful its the only thing I can do right now. Pray and hope that is it!

1. Work this week blah! I am over with people with attitudes and not wanting to wear a mask while they shop for like 30min in the store. THIRTY MINUTES OR LESS! I am wearing that stupid mask every day for the majority of my shift. If I work a full during the day its at least 8hrs of wearing it! At night I am okay to take it off once we close if I am there longer or when leaving. They complain they make up excuses they give us attitudes, ignore the crap out of us, or my favorite go in the store with it on and take it off somewhere in the store and when they leave MASK IS GONE! In the end I dont think the mask help as much annoy but I didnt make the the rules up the law did and that was would be our state our county. And on Saturday my manager put up a sneeze guard where we count. So our little counter we use well it is now got plastic in front so we can check receipts of people who have big items. Which is rare really. And they put the receipts up to the glass. Which they dont. I had one I did check and I just looked it was a bike. Then I held up the line and everyone thought we checking all receipts again ugh.

2. Workouts this week just 2. I did one on Tuesday & one on Thursday. Both Zumbas. Mainly cause I was waiting for my new nunchucks to come so I can do wii fit right again. Those came on Friday. Yeah. But no other workout this week. And couldn't hang out with my friend :( I hope for next week yes please!

3. ZOOM was sad this time. I was sad for two reasons:I really do miss and love all the ladies even those that didnt do zoom at all or just some. And I was sad we doing this online I wanted to do it in person and I still dont get why we had to. You know in heaven we will know all we didnt know. This is one of those if I really want to know I will know. But I think once I get there something so small on earth wont matter anymore and I wont care why things went down. I was just trying to pray for the ladies in my group and I started bloody crying my eyes out. And I was just trying in prayer say I loved them which made them say they loved me. God gave me this great big heart. I have always loved peopled. Did I know how to say it? No! But I have always showed it. Now I know how to say it. Going to this church and having people truly love me. And me loving them back has really changed me. So I meant it. I really love these ladies and this was hard saying good bye. I mean we have one last meeting next week I dont fully understand still what we doing and no emails yet explaining it but its not like what we usually do. I will miss you ladies so much!

4. The 12th marked 10 years since our trip began to California from Tennessee! What a trip it was coming, all we did and going back and how much it changed us making us move just two months later to Arizona. Yikes. SO yeah I wont forget that. Taking my dog on an airplane was surely a memorial experience that I am glad only happened twice coming and going.

5. Its been 6 years since the fires that came through the area and almost hit us. They were very scary! I was barely at babies r us a month when they ripped through got area. Including one rather close to me I was in Vista it was in San Marcos on a hill. We had two that almost got us at home. And one in Carlsbad was near Legoland. It took another 3 years before we had to actually evacuate from home for a fire. I was glad back then we didnt have to then 3 years later we actually did.

Well that is all for now. Not much else to say. Been a long exhausting week! Have a good week everyone. See you next weekend!! Stay cool. Peace out. God bless.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 10th 2020)

Well hello there. Welcome back to same thing we did last week. I mean its like the same thing each week. But things change so I cant say nothing changes. Just not a lot. Okay stuff this week yes but not much.

1. Mothers Day is today. Today it falls on the 10th which is the 14th heavenly birthday for my grandma. This year is hard. We cant do anything for mothers day we usually at least go out to eat and maybe something else. I didnt even bother asking for it off. Cause nothing is open duh. I dont have Rainbow anymore whom I miss so much. My first mothers day without my child. My mom told me I am still a mommy even if my Rainbow is gone :( Then I was wondering if she was hanging out in heaven with my grandma. Then I got all teary eyed and started crying. UGH. In heaven there will be NO tears I cannot wait for that. Being a very emotional person not crying is gonna be a big deal for me. Cause I do cry when I am happy too. But most of the time its not happy tears. Most of the time with me its sad frustrated stressed anxiety or angry tears. They are not happy most of them are not. Miss you Rainbow and Grandma. And sorry mom cant do anything today and I do work too so there is that

2. Monday I went with my good friend to the beach. We walked the strand which is the beach area by us. We walked the whole thing well most of it to the harbor and back to the where we left from. Then sat down talking while waiting for my sister. Spent near 3hrs with her. I love hanging out. I hadn't see her in person in 3 weeks. I cant wait to hug her. I miss hugs so much :( But I do love hanging out. I didnt love the sunburn I got that took nearly a week to go away. This week we might hang out I am unsure. I will check in with her and see. Or just a phone call is fine too.

3. ZOOM only one left. I miss you friends. I miss real church. I miss it. I miss it so much. Every Sunday I cry my eyes out. I get to see and know that people I love are watching too for an hour. Then go about my day and pretend I didnt do it because it never feels like church. It doesn't. I talk to these people I cry for them and some of them are my dear friends so I do love them so much. And I miss them so much. ZOOM is almost done. Then what will I do with my Thursdays? I've been doing church of some sort since last Fall. And truly since last June because I was doing the Summer book thing and took a small break then began the fall thing. I will for sure do it again if they do a women study I will for sure join it! I had fun. I am sad that we have to finish this without seeing each other. But I am praying for miracle. I am thankful for hope. And I believe we are very close to being back at church again. This month I really think we are gonna be. Just unsure for sure till it happens. Keep praying!!

4. Workouts I did 3. 2 were Zumbas I did that on Tuesday a long one and Thursday a short one. On Wednesday I did a wiifit before I went to my short 4hr work shift. And on Monday after that long walk we came home and rode bikes for the first time in years. It hurt like crap and the pain I had was there for days after. I could hardly walk normal. But it takes getting use to. It truly does. I cant wait to get in real bike shape want to hit the bike trail eventually as well :)

5. Work left this for last. I am over it all. The masks, the annoying people, the anxiety it gives me. But God is getting me through this and this is a big lesson for me. I am being force to lean on him like never before or not since 3 years ago. AND I am now leaning on the prayers of my friends to get me by too. God is using them and they are helping me and God is working it all out for good :) as he promised! Yeah God!I am also back to 5 days a week and its not going away any time soon next 3 weeks are 5 day work weeks. I just want church back so I can balance my life. And in the Fall I want my radio show back please

well that is all I can think of. Have a nice week everyone. Stay cool or whatever the weather is. I pray for miracles and things changed more by next weekend. God can do it. GOD CAN DO ANYTHING!!!! God bless you always.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, May 3rd 2020)

Welcome to May! So far May is looking a lot like April :( but trying to remain hopeful that things are gonna change soon. They are slowly changing. SLOWLY CHANGING. Like beaches opening and soon other things... hopeful that May doesn't end like April. Us stuck at home and still no church boo!

1. Rainbow my love. I miss you more than I can. But for the first time in a while I didnt cry today. Not once. Not when I put up her picture. Not when I thought about it. Do I miss her still? YOU BET! Do I think I am over it? NO WAY! But I think it means time truly does heal all wounds. And the wounds I thought were not healing have been. And Jesus has been healing my brokenness. I think I am on my way to being okay. Still missing her so much while not figuring out the middle ground the spot she left when she died. Now I cant promise I wont cry again that wont happen. I still mourn her. I am still grieving. I am still messed up from her and all this loss. But even that seems to fade. As time fades and goes on I have begun to forget what it was like to hug people at church. Much like Rainbow I am starting to forget to the point that its okay now. I am numb. Maybe I am in my denial stage I am unsure what part of grief I am over church. But I am somewhere in the middle. 29 weeks Rainbow I still miss you I swear just not like I thought...

2. Work this week blah blah blah. Well now in San Diego county we gotta wear masks ALL THE TIME! So I hate this. So instead of walking around the store on breaks lunches or when off with freedom I am stuck in the same mask I had for work. Trust me once I am out of the store it comes off. It flies off. Well people are just attitudes of attitudes about a rule a law that we did not make. We force them to wear them or they cant come inside. Haha. Been stuck in our masks since April 4th. Join the club! So that was stressful. I did work less again a second week of only 4 days. Next week is my last one. Back to 5 days for the next 2 oh boy! But yeah that is work.

3.ZOOM we are almost done with these. Just 2 more to go. Then our last one. Way things are going I have NO Idea what is gonna happen. Our governor is insane and keeps changing stuff. But I am still praying we will be back at church before we finish this. Frankly I just wanna see my friends from church from our group. But I keep doing ZOOM I am very faithful. Every single week I show up.

4. Workouts I did a wii fit and 2 different times I did a Zumba. I might even do one today before work we shall see. Haha. But yeah I miss the gym but I have to admit working out at home has its benefits. Besides I dont see anyone and they dont see me. I love Zumba the most but its terribly exhausting. 45min is painful. It like good pain. Fun and exhausting but good pain.

5. Hard to believe the 1st & 2nd marked the two biggest days of the Great Nashville Flood of 2010. That means its been 10 years since this flood happened. I miss Nashville. That flood was horrible. It ruined our mall. It was never the same. It took 2 years for it reopen and half of the stuff didnt come back that we loved. We were actually in California when it re opened in 2012. But I wont ever forget that flood. It was something else to live for.

Well have a great week everyone!! Hard to believe are now 1 week from Mothers Day. We wont be going out to eat of course. But will be doing whatever. Sadly it also falls on the 14th years since my grandma died. So that wont be fun :( I work a full shift that day much like last year I work but I didnt even bother with all this going on because I figured no point nothing will be open. Now they are saying restaurants might be open unsure what that means. See you all then. God bless you!!
