 August 26th. I only know that because I've already looked at the phone and it's already after lunch. We're at the Bass Pro Shop getting a couple of air mattresses to sleep on during the moving process while everything else is packed. But I love the Bass Pro Shop, which is, there's no explaining it because I don't hunt or fish or camp. I don't enjoy any of those, but I love the Bass Pro Shop. I find it uniquely fascinating. I go figure, I don't know. Anyway, we're walking around, getting some steps in, killing a little time while we can. That's all for now. We'll be back. Alright, hey guys. So first of all, my car smells like french fries. We, after we were done at Bass Pro, it wasn't quite time to pick up my husband's car. So we stopped to have lunch at the restaurant that's connected to the Bass Pro Shop, Uncle Bucks, and we had leftovers. So yeah, the car smells like french fries. Anyway, as you just saw, that is my husband's little Mitsubishi 3000 GT and it's now all nice and bright and shiny and looks great. First, what was it? First place auto detailing or whatever the name is. I killed it for you all. I'll put the contact information if I can find it in the description below. He did a really great job and he was actually very reasonable. So he is here in San Jose, actually in Camelot. So I will try to find his contact info and put it in the description below. And we are going to head home now because quickly the husband is working today. So we need to get back to the house so he can get to his laptop. So there's that. Alright, I'll be back. It is Monday morning, August 27th. We're all set. Let's go. Thanks, Jeeves. I only know that because I already screwed up one video clip and had to re-film so I thought I'd check the calendar. Anyway, I've been on and off the phone already this morning with different people regarding moving and that's been fun. I have other stuff I need to do in 400 feet. Turn right on to Muscat Drive. Then turn right. Really? Anyway, I need to go get my car serviced first. So before we drive it all the way up to Oregon, which is going to take about 10 or 11 hours, I need to get it serviced first. So I'm going to do that this morning while I'm waiting for phone calls. So we are going to leave and go do that. And I do have mail to drop off and stuff like that, but I don't know how long the car is going to take. Turn right on to Muscat Drive. Then turn right on to Oofing Yard Drive. I don't know if I'm going to have to leave it there or anything, so I'm going to wait to do that other stuff until I get my car back. It's going to be a long day. The husband is working still his crazy shift and he has a Masonic meeting after work and neither one of us is getting into Oofing Yard Drive. Neither one of us is eating well, FYI, just because, you know, yeah, everything. So yeah. So he won't be home until late. And when he does get home he's just going to crash. So I'm going to try to take care of his right side. In one mile. Keep left on Tuesday. Stay true to 85 North. So he doesn't have to worry about it. So anyway. All right, that's it right now. I will be back. I'm going to head over to Capital Subaru and get my car worked on. I'll be back. It's 1.39 on Monday. I'm not home yet. Well, I shouldn't say that. I was home and then I left again. I stayed at the dealership for about two and a half hours because they said, oh, we can just do it while you wait. I turned it into two and a half hours. Anyway, they got the car all road trip worthy so we're good to go in that respect. Changed the oil. Checked the brake fluid. Actually changed the brake fluid because it was pretty bad which is why I had to wait extra because they figured that out and also there's an interior air filter that was really bad. I don't know that that's ever been changed. My car's a 2011 and he said it was really dirty. I have asthma. We changed the air filter. Now I'm out running errands like picking up a few groceries. I had to return something to Lowe's. I've got to go stop and get the mail. I'm gonna have to relent and set up a Google Calendar for moving because I have a lot of different people helping me and they're all like, wait, when is this happening? Wait, when is that happening? And I personally prefer calendars on paper. I actually do not prefer online calendars unless you're working with a group of people. And in that case, being able to direct them to an online calendar is supremely helpful. And I'm going to include not only times and names and dates of when things are happening or who's doing them but I'm going to include contact information and account numbers if I have them. So yeah, I'm gonna have to sit and do that today. That's gonna have to be a thing. I try to do one chore regarding the move every day right now and or pack one box or clean out one cabinet or something every day. And so that's gonna be one of my things that I have to do today. I think I'm also starving. I haven't eaten lunch yet. It is after lunch. It's almost two o'clock. So I'm going to go get the mail. I've got a mail check to our daughter and I'm gonna do that and then I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna fix myself some lunch and I guess while I'm eating lunch, I'm gonna be on the computer setting up a Google calendar for the move. So anyway, all right, that's it. I'll be back. Good Tuesday morning, everyone. It is Tuesday morning, August 28th. I sort of know that. I'm pretty sure it's the 28th. I should know better because it's already 12 o'clock in the afternoon and I've already been doing a lot of stuff and yeah, you get the idea. So I already got some more packing done. I got some more cleaning done. Got a couple things off of closet walls that I think I want to take with us and not leave and I'm headed out. I need some more of the shrink plastic wrap moving stuff. Those of you who've moved know what I mean. It looks like plastic wrap you use in the kitchen only it's not intended for use of food. It's you wrap boxes and other items in it to protect them when you're moving them and yeah that's I need more of that. Oh, another neighbor's moving. There's a U-Haul truck and somebody's driveway. Anyway, so I need to go get some more because I'm out. So anyway, I made added some notes to the Etsy shop so for those of you watching, you can still order stamps and stencils and things like that copies of my book all that stuff from the Etsy shop but from the first until about the ninth I won't be able to ship anything. So the the merchant the inventory will be with me on the U-Haul truck it's not going with the moving truck but I will be in the physical process of moving state so I won't be able to get it set up to a point that I can pack and ship anything until the weekend before the 10th. So I put a note in there and anything ordered from the first on won't ship until the 10th of September. So if you're okay with the shipping delay, cool. As you watch this, there is last week a Shannon Green collab video with my design team that just came out on the 30th of August. It's coming out in a couple days from now but U-Haul as you see this will have already seen that. And I'm gonna try to get this edited before I unplug my computer so you're only gonna see until Friday. Anyway, when you see this you'll already have seen the collab video or it will already be public and there's a discount code in the collab video so use that and if I remember to I'll put it in the description below this video but if I forget go see the collab video for part three and there's a code in the description for both my store and Shannon's and yeah but and you can go ahead and order whatever you'd like and I will just ship it on the 10th for you so I hope you're okay with that. So anyway I'm gonna go pick up a couple of things. I haven't had lunch yet, I'm kind of hungry but I did manage to get a couple more boxes packed, some more things cleaned up and moved around for the movers to make things the process easier. I'm picking up the shrink wrap and I got myself dressed, I got laundry started, that's like you don't even know that's like a big thing. So yeah so I am good and I think that's it for the day. Today is the last day that my husband's gonna be working in the Fremont office for his company until after we move and then he's gonna be working remotely going forward so that'll be fun I think. In the years we've known each other he's never been home much he always has been working a lot of hours. I hesitate to use the term workaholic because I think that has negative connotations. My husband enjoys the community of being in at work and he likes what he does mostly so he enjoys working and it keeps him as my dad would say busy and out of trouble so I'm good with that but he'll be working from home more. He will be occasionally probably going into the Oregon office but he will be working from home more so I look forward to that and during the transition process he will be working remotely the internet should be hooked up by the time we get there with the u-haul truck so it'll be all good. One of my last trips down this crazy back road to Lowe's and Target so anyway that's it for the moment I'm gonna be back later and I have to get my website ready for updates on Friday I need to build the pages so I can just hit publish which would be handy and the Etsy stores is ready as it can be until Friday and I need to probably add some things to my to-do list or I'm gonna forget something because that's where my state of mind is right now. Alright that's it I'll be back you know I should feel feel happy today it only took me three times of trying to back up out of my parking space for somebody to actually let me and not drive behind my car. Is it still a full moon? Excuse me anyway we are gonna go home now because I can't stand people anymore today we're gonna stop and get the mail first and then go home hopefully it's ready I really don't like people that much at least some days do you all feel that way or is it just me some days I just want to sit in my art room and close the door only right now I can't really do that so I am looking forward to getting this move over with so I can do exactly that anyway alright I'll be back hey everybody it is Wednesday August 29th it is 2 12 p.m. which is why I know what the date is my husband is off now until after we move he is been home most of the day helping me get some more packing done and cleaning sorting throwing things away that sort of thing you have a couple errands to run in the morning which he's done already and he's just sitting on the couch now taking a break we had some lunch that sort of thing I am headed to go get the mail then I've got a few boxes to just pack and seal and move out of the way I'm not really sleeping very well I probably won't be sleeping very well until this is all over with but anyway I said last week I have I'm working on some new merch and I shared pictures with you all last week if you've forgotten or you didn't see that vlog I'll put some pictures here somewhere the two sample shirts should be here actually tomorrow so when they come in I will film opening them and more things that I need from Amazon before we move or want and that's it as far as ordering stuff and having it delivered to San Jose next time I order anything it'll be delivered to the new house so that's kind of weird and surreal in the weekend we have a family wedding and my husband's gonna fly down to Southern California for that while he's gone I'm gonna do some things like make bank deposits and do the change of address on the mailbox and stuff like that so even though we're having movers come in and do the bulk of the packing and moving there's still a lot to do and those of you who have moved before know this even if you have the bulk of your stuff go with a moving company there's still a lot to do so not being able to get to my art supplies is not helping me right now but that's not much I can do about it all right let's see what's at the mailbox if we can 20 tight squeeze all right let's see what's there I'll be right back August 30th it is just after 11 o'clock and we are gonna continue to do some packing today and cleaning purging and we have a going away party tonight with my husband's Masonic Lodge so that'll be interesting I'll film what I can when I can other than that I think we're just chilling before the big stressful move so I don't think there's a lot going on but I'll film what I can all right I'll be right so after a flurry of morning phone calls that I didn't expect regarding the house that we own in California that we are putting up on the market I was yeah yeah it interest is already there is what I can say so I called a neighbor who used to live next door and they are renting their property out now and I called to discuss their property with them because the tenants aren't really keeping it up so anyway I went to do that and I forgot that the wife is a realtor completely forgot that she's a realtor and I'm just testing the cruise control I don't know how to use a cruise control I'm gonna be driving my court of Oregon I think I better figured out anyway I make me to drive around the neighborhood anyway I forgot that she's a realtor and she was asking I told her we were moving that was you know one of the reasons I was I meant to call before but now that we're moving I was wondering if there was anything they could do about their gardeners just really not doing a good job and I didn't know if there was anything they could do about you know getting them to clean up the property and we discussed that and she then she asked me about selling our house and what we were asking and what we were thinking and I said well you know this is what we want and we would like to sell quickly and while we're trying to sell it as is you know we are willing to negotiate and turns out she might have a client that might want to look at the house I said well that's fine they just need to remember that right now it looks like we're living in a storage unit and you know the outside looks great but the inside is full of boxes and stuff but you know if they want to look at it they're more than welcome so I gave her our realtor's name and number so cross your fingers people holy cow anyway yeah that's a thing so the merch samples are in I got notification via email so I am headed to go pick them up in whatever other mail is ready and then I'm gonna go home and have lunch so I will share them with you when I can figured out the cruise control and what I was doing wrong all these years you don't know how great that is it's gonna be wonderful on the drive to Oregon all right that's it I'm gonna go get the mail now I'll be back I got the two sample shirts in now this initial batch of shirts these two samples I ordered from Vista print it was quick and easy and they have a lot of options for getting things printed onto clothing more than you would think and they're not super expensive but if you guys like them we will be carrying them and yeah so here's the first one now these are double XL because I don't like to wear my shirts tight I like things to be on the loose side and yeah so here's the don't be an asshole shirt and this is not an iron-on this is like printed on with ink and then here's the other one and these are just done white shirts I'm sure at some point we could get them on colored shirts we are thinking about going through a different vendor to get some printed on aprons my friends from intervals of sanity are helping me out with this so really love them if it's something you guys might be interested in getting printed on the clothing or pencil bags or coffee cups or something let me know I would probably not get a lot of inventory but like do something like have it listed in my Etsy shop and then have it drop shipped to you from the supplier who's doing the printing something like that so anyway if you're if you'd be interested in this let me know leave a comment below all right that's it for the moment I'll be back good morning everybody it is Friday morning August 31st and as of this morning we officially own two houses yeah everything was recorded and funded and it's yeah it's a done deal the keys are available the morning of the fourth and the realtor is going to pick them up for us and hand them over to my dad who lives up there yeah so anyway wow we've been spending the morning doing change of addresses and all of that stuff we have some plastic bins in the garage we have to wrap with plastic wrap or take the lids down before probably that's going to happen as the movers are packing up the rest of the house I'm not sure that's going to happen today my husband's got some clothes and toilet trees and stuff to pack and otherwise I think we're good to go except for last-minute stuff that needs to be shoved in a box so anyway we have a few errands to run like cancelling gym memberships and stuff like that we're gonna do after lunch and yeah bright nice sunny day here in California and no smoke or anything for a change so yeah we'll see what happens and I'll bring you along I'll be back I got one last Amazon haul here to the San Jose house before we move I got one small bottle of this Ignatia Amara it is for stress it is anyway it was it's a sort of a homeopathic remedy for stress and anxiety and it was recommended by my sister and I trust her in this she knows more about it than I do and she's recommended I try this before I tried the La Raza Pam so I thought I need to have that just in case so I got that today it wasn't too expensive and I had to get this I really don't need it but focus here we go so these are the Paul Rubins metallic watercolors everybody's doing and awing about this Patty Tolly Paris show them on her channel they have to be some of the most beautifully packaged watercolor paints I've ever seen and I have a fair decent collection of them I love the pink metallic box and it comes with a shammy wrapped in a shammy just like this I'm telling you it's the most and the box is not a cheap flimsy box it's a heavy box and neither is the metal box that it's in a cheap flimsy box it seems like a nice weight heavy box with the required pamphlets in it and look at all of these metallic colors is a metallic set so all of these are metallic I can't wait to try them I literally just got it in so you may be seeing that in the next vlog or the week after that next week we're moving and this is going to be the last day on this vlog until after the move I know I usually do till Saturday but this week where you only get no Friday and that's it for right now I hope that you all are having a great day and a great week bear with me through the move I won't have any computer or anything plugged in until after we get there which is around the 10th and then I'll be back up and online hopefully and yeah quite an adventure if you're interested in either one of these things I don't again I don't know anything about this except my sister said get some and try it that's literally all I know I'll put the links for both of them in the description below and yeah that's it for right now go out and have a great day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later bye
