Welcome to July! June flew by and to be honest with so much canceled I still dont know truly if it feels like Summer feels like it. It might if I think about it. But truly it doesn't. June we didnt do the fair. This month we dont do Comic Con. Little things we always did that connected the dots of the Summer season. As this progresses and God willing it wont but it might cause it could. We are gonna have a weird rest of this year. Just saying. Unexpected out of control go with the flow.
1. Work this week well I did skip again twice. I skipped on Sunday so a week ago. I had planned it out and I did it. I was glad I had chosen to do so. I was at church feeling extremely dizzy at the end there. NO matter what happens I feel like I have a pinched nerve. So I skipped Sunday. Monday I showed up and I had all these people praying for me. My manager was actually not only there but like right there. She literally walked into the restroom as I leaving so I waited for her to come out and talked to her. I know that was an odd thing to do but it was what I had to do. We set up a claim and she took me to the doctor. So I spent the first near 4 hours of my shift at the doctor and talking to her. I had to come back cause the doctor who saw me was being unfun. So I worked the last few hours of my shift mostly avoiding the front and talking to my co workers about this. Wednesday I called out because I felt bad again I was in pain. I went to my doctor visit but my chiropractor never happened I wasted several hours down there for that. I did work the next few days I was scheduled. I am trying to not skip again but when the pain comes up I just need to. I hate it. Cause I cant afford to not work but I need to not work. So it like what do I do I skip. Our points aren't being counted but still it hurts me personally I have to have money I need to pay bills and such. I need a way to get better and be paid. I am unsure what that is to be.
2. Workouts due to my injury I am putting Zumba and wii fit sadly on hold! I do ride the stationary bike almost every day still a bit. This past week we did a longer bike ride towards the beach. Only rode 2 hours. Some people have said I shouldn't be riding a bike while injured so I am unsure how much I will do till I am better. But yeah it was a nice ride. Getting to the beach will take more time and more energy. We did it during the afternoon on Tuesday not the evening on Monday.
3. Church Sunday was awesome. All the love every week! Zoom was okay on Thursday. When I got to that I was really tired and sore from the Zoo we had done the day. So I didnt really want to do the meeting. I did it but not really wanted to. And not everyone showed up either so there is that...
4. So we did the Zoo on Thursday. We got down there at 9:30 they opened at 9 but were told to come down early cause they keep track of amounts in. It was a long weird day. Very hot out. Wearing masks. Not able to ride the bus or cable car. We had fun saw some of what we wanted. But it was exhausting same time. Probably only time we doing the zoo this summer is that. Oh well! Saturday was the 4th of July. Usually we go down to San Clemente and watch fireworks at the beach. I MISS IT SO MUCH! It didnt get canceled just moved. Wouldn't have mattered as our lovely governor shut down beaches for the weekend. It got moved to a stadium and they didnt let us see it up close it was blocked. Found a parking lot that faced the stadium and watched from there with some other people. So it was different. No music behind no beach but one of our few shows. The only one was closer to home but we chose this one. No Denny's after. Just came back and had burgers my dad had made. Weird 4th of July for sure!
5. The 3rd marked 16 years since my job at Barnes & Noble closed their doors. I will never forget B&N. It was my first retail job after my lawsuit and knee issues from end of 1998 till nearly end of 1999. I got the job same time as I went back to Vanguard. Then spent the 4 years I in school working there. I was planning to go full time and work on saving so I could move to Los Angeles and fulfill my dream of being a journalist. Was around April or May that I was the last to find out we closing our doors in July. I then spent 3 weeks after our last opening day on the 3rd helping to close down our store. Since we not going out of business just closing we had to send our books most of them except the paperbacks to either the publishers or sometimes other stores. We boxed up crap and threw stuff out. I gained a bunch of free magazines and books (a lot with no covers). My favorite was a picture that I have no idea where it is now of curious George that had been hanging by our bathroom. Last year we randomly visited the mall on our way to downtown Disney (or was it 2 years ago?) and found out they have since then after several stores moved in and out split the store in two and it looked so weird. It broke me to close a store down and then 2 years ago I was with Babies R Us and did it again (a bit different but still). My on going joke is I cant keep a job same store for past 4 years. The twice I have done it they closed...all my others were under 4 years. Miss you still B&N
Well that was a late entry sorry about this. I got home late on the 4th and then got busy with work. Have a nice week everyone. Be safe and cool. Getting hotter now that Summer is officially here. God bless you!!
