Day 4 June 16 2010 and the morning of Day 5 June 17 2010

I forgot to mention that on day 3 I reset the clock in my car, since we are an hour ahead of sunny so Cal time out here and I set my radio stations. I actually found a whole bunch of good ones. Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who listens to the radio anymore.

Yesterday we intended on being out of here by 8am to make the 9am womens meeting a little early and be able to fellowship. We did not make it out until 8:30 and then got lost, which I am okay with because that is how I learn my way around. But we ended up 1/2 hour late to the meeting. We were invited out to coffee which we discussed at some length because we wanted to come back to the ranch and work on the tack room. We ultimately decided that we could work on the tack room in the evening and it would be okay to go out with the girls. It was a nice choice. We went to this cute coffee shop and the girls caught up on their lives(which is always the awkward part of being new), then they turned the conversation to us, and we were able to participate. Once again I found out that there is in fact a film industry out here I believe it has been referred to as "the new Hollywood," and that there were a couple people in the program that work in it, that may have more information. So I am checking in to that as well. I really wanted to work all summer and go home with some money, and I am still applying for "regular"(admin/clerical, etc) jobs while looking into the film industry. Who knows I may be "discovered" and just stay here. I'm just going to take it one day at a time and see how it all unfolds. For now, I am enjoying getting into a new routine and just adjusting. A job will come when it's supposed to. I've done all the footwork, the rest is up to God.
On the way back in from meeting and coffee we stopped at the local art gallery, found some pretty things, and I picked up a few magazines on trails and local art, etc, but we didn't find anything we absolutely loved and had to have, I think we are both avoiding spending any money until we have some coming in. Then I stopped at the post office to forward my mail only to discover the post office was closed for lunch! It's a one-man post office. Welcome to small town living. I am actually planning on going today but when I thought about it I noticed it was lunch time, so I decided I would update my adventure and when I was done it would be open.
When we arrived back at the house it was afternoon, time to be in. It's too hot in the days here to do any work outside. Although it's not scorching the heat is just not good to work in. We did our sitting around the "office." The dining room has been overtaken by laptops and made into a makeshift office for us all, using separate broadband. We discovered that our plans of working on the tackroom would not come to fruition because we were being treated to dinner at a local mexican restaurant in the neighboring small town. My dinner was actually better made into my scrambled egg breakfast this morning than it was as its original meal.
When we got back in we all went into our own stuff, and came together later over "Overboard." One by one everyone went to bed for the evening.
At 6:30 this morning the first early risers awoke, me not amongst them, but since I sleep fairly restlessly I lay enjoying the sounds of the morning kitchen and the low hushed tones of talking quietly to not disturb those still sleeping. Around quarter to 10 I woke because my alarm went off and because the two headed off to the chiropractor "needed to leave 15 minutes ago!" I decided I may as well just get up at that point and was offered to walk up a local small mountain that apparently is stunning at the top. By the time I was even anywhere near ready to go anywhere we were already staring down the heat of the day, so it will be postponed to another day. I have no doubt it will be something we do. I made my "leftover" breakfast which was very tasty and have been having a very leisure day. I feel like there are things that could be done and should be getting done, but its just not the case, since we are in the heat of the day. So I will head to the post office and may spend a few hours driving and exploring. I haven't decided yet. I may take a look at some of the art/trail magazines I picked up yesterday and see if there is anything I can do while still in the heat of the day.
