At the beginning of this week I had this great idea for this blog to create a guide for daytime TV in case anyone wanted to know what the best things to watch are between the hours of 9 AM to 4 PM. Unfortunately, as it turns out I was not able to assemble the list and critique the shows for this weeks blog. Next week it will be there, I look forward to it!
This week has been a challenge for me. I am not sure why, I suppose it has something to do with a lack of purpose. I have purpose, it is just that I want more purpose, more focused tasks to work towards. Okay, I really just want a job and somebody to play tennis with. Or maybe it had to do with the substitute powerflex instructor. I thought that this week would be easier when an older, slightly bigger lady showed up to run the show. I sure was so happy to see her! Turns out she had a chip on her shoulder or something because she worked me and she was not nice. From now on, I will be ever grateful for the sergeant.
This week, I once again was able to spend more time with the nieces and nephews. Friday night I went with my oldest brother Chris and his family to a place called Camper World, up by Tremonton. It is like Disney World without the rides, food, entertainment, Disney characters, etc. They did have a big natural hot spring pool, hot tubs, fire, and yes, many camping trailers. In my haste to leave I forgot to bring a jacket. After they kicked us out of the pool we decided to cook S'mores. It ended up being a shivering fest as the purpose of the fire was not to cook S'mores but to stay alive. It could not have been much worse than being a part of the Donner party. I also got to go see Kung Fu Panda with the kids on Saturday, all I am going to say is that there now is a second way to skadoosh!!!
As far as my job search goes, it has been slow and rough. I am gaining experience in job hunting, patience, empathy for other jobless souls, bored people, and stay at home mom's (though I don't have kids, I do have dogs). Ultimately, I think that the Lord is just teaching me to trust him, I think that I have a hard time with that sometimes. This week I attended the LDS employment career workshop. It lasted two days, six hours long each a day. I got a certificate when I finished! I think I will frame it! The course was useful, its purpose is to prepare people with the skills to find a job. I learned about job hunting, me in 30 seconds, power statements, and interviewing skills among other things. Now I just need to get at it.
Tomorrow being Memorial day I have been thinking about those who have passed on both those within my family and those who fought in wars. Though I have trials in my life, thinking about the men and women who had to experience war and death makes my trials seem small. I am glad that I do not have to shoot and bomb other souls, and that I do not have to get shot at. War is among the worse things that I can imagine. I also think of my father, I miss Saturday morning donuts from Tasty's that he would always bring home. I miss his ability to work in the yard. On Friday, my brother and I spent about 10 hours working on the sprinklers in the yard and spent about three hundred dollars at the sprinkler store. It was a stinkin long day. If my dad were here I could have slept the whole day. He would have did it himself. I also miss sharing the newspaper with him on Sunday mornings, he would enjoy the comics and front page news while I would take the sports page. I am most grateful for the way my dad worked to provide for the family, I don't think that I ever appreciated him for that growing up. When I was on my mission, he never wrote me but I could always feel his love and knew that he was thinking of me and that meant more to me than anything, even letters from home. Lastly, if it were not for my dad I would probably not have inherited my love for sports, my lack of zeal towards board games, and my love of sweets(well I get that one from my mom too, double dose).
This upcoming week should be good, I don't know why but I gotta feelin. I look forward to getting out of the basement and enjoying life. I will keep getting ripped at the gym, reading good books, job hunting, and learning much from my mother. This week my mom taught me about her insides. She got a scope done and it came with pictures, imagine that! She was most excited that her insides looked normal. I was just excited to get out of that hospital, I hate those places they give me the creeps. Tootles! Next week I will try to write something more informative, aka top daytime shows.
