 okay guys happy sunday it is sunday morning september 24th 24th because that's a date 24th it's not morning anymore actually it's just after lunch we're out running a few errands after getting some chores done at home we have the day off from construction at the kids house because it's raining outside um so we started off the day going to Costco which is a discount big box retailer sort of although i don't know how discounted they are anymore but anyway it is so crowded holy cow but we got that done first now we're going to go to staples and i need some things from my pattern binder and then we got to go pick up a tool for bob at harbour freight because they broke his hammer yesterday so dude needs a new hammer i you know i don't know then i think we're going to spend the rest of the afternoon at home watching movies i'm going to do some crocheting and you know the usual i'll be back hey guys happy monday it is monday afternoon it's already after lunch let's see 107 p.m and been up for a bit i filmed two videos for youtube i know shocking right um uh two october commitments and so i'm editing them right now so we're all done and um almost almost in the can um i did a little bit of straining up and cleaning because this afternoon our cleaning lady is coming and you know i don't want her to focus on my piles of shit and have her focus on other things so i needed to pick up after myself um i'm going to be working on my crocheting today right now i have it in that basket to like take it around the house but um that doesn't really work really well so i'm going to be switching it to something else later today um the bags that i made work really well to take my crochet on the road or on a trip though they were fabulous but just in the house i don't need it to be locked up in a bag i just needed in sort of a something open top that i can carry it around upstairs downstairs put it away when company comes over that sort of thing so anyway working on that um it is cold outside we actually finally turned the furnace on it we woke up and it was like 67 degrees or colder in the house so yeah but yay i'm not complaining all right that's it for the minute it's going to be kind of a busy week we have baby sitting tomorrow i am hoping to get all these videos edited and loaded to youtube today um and do some crocheting i have a doctor's appointment wednesday if you've been around a while you know i suffer from anxiety and depression yes i'm medicated in in therapy but medical things are one of my triggers so although i'm not anticipating anything being wrong you just never know right and gotta do that wednesday morning so anyway all right hey everybody it is wednesday morning um september 27th 8 46 a.m i am obviously in the car we are headed out to run some errands um for those that don't know i have anxiety disorder and depression um i am medicated in and counseling after almost 60 years i finally decided to do something about it not long ago anyway i'm doing much better than i used to but one of my trigger things is medical things and the first thing we're going to do this morning because we're going to rip that mandate off and get it over with is an annual visit to my gp um he's a very nice man and a good doctor but yeah so we're going to get that over with um as we get older um male or female as we get older you know it's like an old car things start failing so you know the older we get the more i anticipate bad news and that's not always the case but the stress is difficult to deal with of them finding something you're not aware of it's just it's a thing for me anyway i know what it stems from it stems from something in my childhood and that was pretty stressful and so we're going to do that we're going to get it over with we're going to head over there first and i've got some crocheting with me i can i have a bag with me this morning i don't usually carry a handbag anymore but this morning i do um in case there's any downtime and i have any waiting time in the waiting room i will pull my crocheting out and do a few stitches while i'm waiting and then that was the last stop at treater joes and tiger dorgan and if you are the young lady who checked me out and asked me what i was going to do with the rest of my day and i said go work in the art room which led to a conversation about youtube in which i gave you a card and you said you want to learn to crochet welcome and do it do it do it do it do it okay we're going to go home now because i need to have lunch and we're done now i just need to like you know spam the medical website online chart situation for my blood work and you know anyway i'll be back sorry cough drop anyway we're out for a walk this evening before we have dinner i spent the rest of the day once i got home from the doctors and errand crocheting on my current sweater project which i'll link the pattern down below i got it from etsy i think um i'm altering it a little bit it's a tank top pattern but the more i crochet it the more alterations i think i want to make to it so first of all i'm making it in the round no seams i'm adding a little bit of ribbing to the front and back neckline and then when i do the ribbing around the shoulder straps again go see the pattern and you'll see i might have sleeves it's supposed to be a tank top but we'll see first let's get steps in let's see if the goats are still eating their way through the forest because yeah that's been a thing so much poison ivy i think it's the only effective way to get it rid of it in the organ uh blackberries and the weeds and the yeah stuff all right i'll be back hey guys it is 6 30 p.m thursday september 28th it's babysitting day so i have been mired in doing a few chores before jr i here and trying to get some stuff done then babysitting all day like literally he slept on my test all day long today and um played a little bit ate a little bit and slept some more he's finally through the teething so i think now he's starting to catch up on his sleep uh anyway um i was sitting here bob's gone off to his masonic lodge meeting i had dinner i made some iced coffee i was working on my sweater and i thought have i filmed anything today anyway uh hasn't been a super exciting day so that's probably the other thing you know some days are like that although you're a creative being a creative soul it doesn't mean you can work creativity into every single day sometimes it doesn't happen or sometimes it's just a little while at the end of the day you get to get a little bit of drawing or crochet or whatever your thing is in and you know that's all right anyway i am addled up under my blanket on the sofa nice warm and toasty drinking my iced coffee i know that makes no sense but you know i don't know tomorrow is mr's birthday yes so before we go to bed tonight i'm going to put his card out and uh we'll get together with all the kids and we're going out to dinner tomorrow night to celebrate all the birthdays and uh yeah i think it's going to be good all right i'm going to keep crocheting i'll be back guys so i obviously haven't hidden any thread ends yet you can see i'm hanging out i just finished adding some ripping to the bottom which i think it needed and i like that it's supposed to be a tank top pattern and for that i think it's supposed to be a skip two rib pattern but i think i would do more than that because this just kind of it does that i don't know but i could probably fix that in blocking but i'm really thinking i'm going to put i think i'm going to put short puffy sleeves on here and use this whole sleeve opening to my advantage reduce it down a little bit and have it come to like here with some ribbing do a little short puffy sleeve what do you think sleeve or no sleeve i like it all right i'll be back by the way i don't have any like special bra on or anything i have one of my normal bras the straps kind of oops show in the back a little bit i don't think you can see that but yeah there you go but i mean yeah i don't care all right pretty cool i do think it's time for bed it's like 10 o'clock i'll be back hey guys good morning uh afternoon hey this Friday September 29th mr's birthday everybody wish mr bob happy birthday um i have been crocheting all day trying to figure out what i want to do with the sweater and i have it on i'll turn the camera around in a minute i think rather than just have having a strap i think we're going to do a little cap sleeve it's a little bit puckery in a couple places because it really needs to be blocked and washed and i have to hide all the threads but i think this is the way to go oh my we have a little bit of i couldn't do this and and do some more decreases but i think i'm gonna just leave it it's a little bit roughly i'm okay with it and i once i wash it and block it the yarn's gonna relax a bit and it should flatten out decently well it is cotton i could always um wash it in hot water before i block it and it will shrink up just a little bit but yeah it's pretty cute um i really like it so now now i've got to do the other side all right i'll be back guys we are in the truck taz taz yeah um we did all of our morning tours grocery shopping and stuff i did document to stopping at the thrift store but i didn't buy anything i didn't find anything that i was looking for and we had a local resale shop that we stopped at and i found one ball of yarn so i can make some socks out of some practicing making socks and um we had some lunch and now we are going
