 It is Sunday, over 27th, I think. I have no idea what time it is, except that it's well after lunch, I'm pretty sure. I don't know, we'll find out in a second. Anyway, Bob and Lily went out for a walk. I opted to stay home. We've been walking five to seven days a week, every week. Since June or July, we kind of lost track, to be honest with you. It's 1.55 p.m., by the way. So I'm taking a break. My knee is better. The joint supplements are helping a lot and making sure I don't do anything stupid with my knee in between walking and just normal household stuff is helping. When I do go walking, I usually wear a brace. My friend Vicki Brown sent me a brace, so that helps make sure that I don't overwork the knee and all of those together are helping. So anyway, what else? I'm waiting on delivery from Amazon. I ordered a new turntable from the tools on my art desk, so I'm hoping that actually does come today, but I live in Portland and I think the delivery people here just feel like, eh, I don't feel like delivering it today, so we'll leave it till tomorrow. Maybe it's like that in the part of the world or country where you live. Maybe it's just me, I don't know, but if you all feel that way, let me know in the comments below. Let's start a little conversation about that. Whether it's Amazon delivery people or USPS, I just feel like some days they just don't care if they deliver your mail. Anyway, all right. The fires are raging in California and I have friends and family who, you know, I'm a little concerned about, yeah, Barbara Clark and Leslie Swank being two of them. I think they're okay, but I know at least one of them is at without power. I think that actually at the time of filming this, they're both without power and it's just not a good thing. It's bad again. Whatever PGNU tried to do with their rolling power outages didn't work. So anyway, all right, that's it for the moment. I'm going to sit up here at the computer, try to get some art stuff done. I don't know how far I'll get with that, but you know, because it is Sunday, I'd generally try to take a break on Sunday, but we'll see. All right, I'll be back. Morning, everybody. It is Monday morning, October 28th. Don't get excited, I'm looking at the iPad. It's 10.09 a.m. And I've got a friend so far so she can lay on top of them. And grandpa's not home, so I guess I'm, you know, the next best thing. Anyway, I fed the deer some corn. I have a call into my doctor's office, not that there's anything wrong, but there is a measles outbreak. Oh, they're all over the world now, but the newest one is in the Portland area and actually one of the areas of exposures in the town that I live in. So, you know, we've just been putting off getting booster shots and having our immunity checked, both Bob and I, you know, for a while now. It just didn't seem like it was a top priority, but now that it's in our area and the last two years, we've been doing so much flying. And one of the points of exposure is Portland International Airport, which is the one we fly in and out of all the time. I think it's time. So I'm gonna, I have a call in, I'm waiting for a call back to get some blood work done and check my immunities. My guess is I don't have any because I don't think I had a measles vaccination since I was a kid. We had a booster of something when Rebecca was born, but I honestly don't remember what it was. So, I don't know. Anyway, so we need to be checked. And new turntable tray thing for my table upstairs finally came. I think I just caught the delivery person on camera up until late last night, like 11 o'clock last night, the listing for set item said, if you order it within 23 hours in so many minutes, you'll get it Wednesday, which is tomorrow. And now it says, it says free delivery Thursday. They're still touting a two day delivery because today is Tuesday. I ordered this item on the 24th. It's currently the 29th. It's a big fat lie. Anyway, let's go check it out and see what it looks like. Thank you to my friend, Cindy Utter. I'll link her YouTube channel in the description below. I found this Amazon listing for this 18 inch wide lazy Susan tray. And this is the thing I was waiting on from Amazon and it is big, but it came in a huge box hanging. But it came in this giant box. It only took up about half of the box, maybe less. And there was absolutely like no bubble wrap or anything. It was just loose in the box. But at least it finally got here so I won't complain too much. The under sink turntable is, that's what that's called. That's what that's, where is it? There we go. That's what that's called back there. It is also available at Bed Bath & Beyond and you can look at your local store to check availability on the Bed Bath & Beyond website. And if they don't have it in stock at your local store you can order it through the website and have it delivered. You might have better luck with delivery that way than Amazon, just saying. All right, I'll be back. I never thought on this Tuesday afternoon instead of uploading the vlog for tomorrow to YouTube and making some art catching up on paperclips I'd be headed to the doctor's office to get a measles vaccine. So yeah, so there's a measles outbreak has been one in Washington state just across the border from where I live for a while. Mostly in people who have not yet been vaccinated. It's spreading down to Portland and one of the points of contact is Portland International Airport which I'm in and out of quite frequently. So and I have to do it again. So as far as I'm aware, I haven't been vaccinated since I was a kid in the 1960s and from all accounts, including consultations with my doctor, it's recommended I come in and get a new vaccine. So I already have asthma and a mitral valve issue in my heart that it was born with. So we really don't want me to get sick with something like measles would be bad. So I'm gonna go get the vaccine. That's a thing, evidently. All right, I'll be back. Hey guys, it is Wednesday, October 30th, 3 32 p.m. Fun fact, don't get excited. I'm looking at the iPad. I was up and down the stairs a lot already this morning. I don't know how many steps in I already have. Let's see, 2600 already. Hopefully we'll go walking later but because we haven't been in a few days. Anyway, I was chatting with friends. I got my calendars, two calendars ready for next year. The one here for downstairs and the one for my wallet. I used two moleskin journals, weekly, weekly journals. I will link the ones I use in the description below. I do add like the one in my wallet, I add all of my medical information to and contact information to case of an emergency, my stuff is in there. And then the one for the house here has sections in the front before you get to the weeks. I use the monthly calendar thing. I don't use that as a calendar. I have sections for like important phone numbers and a place to put business cards in as the year goes on and different information like that. So I do have to prep them and add the sections in and stuff like that. And I do put like washi tape on that page edge for the beginning of each month. And what else? How many problems with Facebook? So Facebook Messenger is working fine, but suddenly this afternoon Facebook proper has decided not to let me post anything to Facebook. And I've changed the password. I have two factor security going on on the website so it should be secured that way. My current computer upstairs is currently running antivirus. I always run malware in the background, which was fine. And the antivirus hasn't found anything. So I don't think it's my computer. I'm not sure what's going on. But the message says, you're temporary restricted from performing certain actions on Facebook. This is because there's been some unusual activity detected on your account and your account will be limited until 1.22 p.m. tomorrow. And I don't seem to be able even to message to them to ask them basically WTF. I don't know what unusual activity they're talking about. I haven't posted anything weird. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual on my Facebook page when I check it, not only from my devices, but other devices in the house. And I've had friends check it. I don't know what they're talking about. So all my posts tonight and tomorrow will be late. Now you know why? If you're seeing this a week late so you already knew they were late, but yeah. Anyway, all right, I'll be back. No, it's been such a strange day. First, Facebook just randomly blocks from posting anything for no apparent reason. Although I have heard from a few people that something I shared or posted in the last day or so may have been flagged by Facebook as suspicious content. I don't have any idea what. I don't have any idea what the issue is with the post. I have no idea. And if it's a piece of my artwork that I shared, well, that was my artwork. I have a right to share that. That's mostly what I post, so I have no idea. Then I have random delivery people coming today. The bug guy came today, which is he was very sweet. And then somebody just pulled up into my driveway threw something out of their car and then drove off. I think it was a newspaper, but it's just a weird day. I don't know, I'll be back. So it's not even 10 o'clock yet on Thursday, October 31st, Halloween. I actually know the day because it's Halloween. Yeah, it's Halloween. We haven't been walking since Saturday. Fred has the day off. We do have appointments and stuff today, but we're out getting an early morning walk before any of them get started to try to catch up. And it's 33 degrees outside. 33 degrees outside. We are probably gonna go on one more walk later this afternoon, hopefully. And yeah, huh? Before dinner? Before dinner, before trick or treating starts. Yeah. So yeah, gotta try to catch up on the steps. All right, I'll be back. I had to do a quick job here around the house. The husband is blowing pine needles out of the driveway because that's a thing. We live in the Pacific Northwest next to the woods full of fir trees. So that's what I get for vlogging with my phone. So I did wanna tell you all that I changed up my daily drawing bag a bit. I'm really finding that I enjoy doing my daily drawings with a little bit of black pen and then either the highlighter gel crayons pushed around with a little bit of water from a water brush, accented maybe with some white gel pen or the highlighter markers. Now, I've had these Faber-Castell Pastel, Faber-Castell Pastel, wow. Highlighter markers that I've been using, which are great, they come in a variety of colors. I just recently got these ones from Amazon that are, come in a few more colors. They are the Java Power, Powerline 2500. And this is what they look like over a black pen. So I'm really enjoying doing my drawings and then accenting in black ink and then accenting it with the highlighter markers. Or I have a few of my black pens and then I have my retractable fountain pen that have dark ink in them, either blue or black. And I'll just move that around with water. I'm really enjoying that. So I had some other Fineliner colored markers in here from Muji that I wasn't using at all. I haven't used them in probably four months. So they didn't need to be in here anymore. So took them all out and put these new highlighter markers in instead. So I think that's gonna work well for me. The only colored pen I have in here is I have a multi-pen, so that's perfect. So I'm gonna go through what's in my travel sketch bag and the pen case that's in there and see what's in there. If there's Muji pens in there, I think I'm gonna take them out because I don't need them in there. And I'll change things around a little bit. I'm just not using them right now. So anyway, I'm gonna finish my lunch and wait for the workmen to come that are supposed to do a job here around the house for us today. And then I guess I better do some chores because dishes, laundry, starts to pile up if you don't keep on it. So all right, I'll be back. I know the colors are a little bit Christmassy, I think, because it's not orange and purple, but we put my little LED lights in the front window. We're gonna turn the camera around and show you in a minute. We've gotten one trick or treater. We may not get much more than that, but we do like handing out candy. That's right. Just FYI if you're in Oregon for future reference. Okay, let's show you the house. We've got our LED lights in the window. We've got Bob's dead guy. There's a dead guy. You got some bones. Yeah, and then if you walk up toward the front porch, we've got another dead guy and some pumpkins. And then we've got, yep, there we are. We've got our wolf, dead wolf, howling at the moon. Here's his little cat friend. Halloween, everybody. Let's hope we have people come for candy because we got a shitload of it. Otherwise, he's taken a lot to work. Yes, we can say shitload. What are they gonna do? Demonetize my video? I've just been out of Facebook jail, so what's the difference? Whatever. So I only ever have one question about government buildings, like when you have to go pay your property taxes or some, why are they always next door to the Department of Corrections? No, it seems like no matter the state. What are the post office? Yeah, well, you've got the Department of Corrections, the post office and then the county building that we're in. Why is that? All right, on to the next place. By the way, good morning. It's still technically morning. It's Friday, November 1st, 1138 AM. We're out running a few errands and then I've got to go home and cook a big pot of chili because we're having people over for dinner tonight. The kids are coming. My sister and our husband are coming. Yeah, I'll be back. It's Saturday morning, November 2nd, 9.58 AM. Don't get excited. I've already checked. We are headed into Washington to visit with our niece and her husband and of course our new little great-nephew, Paxton. We're gonna help them out with some stuff around their house and get together with the family. So we'll bring you with us where we can. Look at the plaid today, you know, because we're Pacific Northwest people now. He's got his plaid shirt on. I've got some plaid leggings on, which the daughter told me not to wear, but I'm wearing anyway. It is what it is. She's gonna have to just deal with it. All right, I'll be back. So it is 6.23 Saturday evening and we're finally done at our niece and her husband's house. And I didn't get a lot of footage because we were working, but I got a little bit and I think my sister might have some pictures. So I'll try to get what I can from her. But it was a big project, but we got it all done. They just, you know, between getting married and having their son and just life, things got crazy for them. And now we help them get it all clean and clear and they're not done yet, but we made big progress. So it's all good, but we're exhausted. Clean up the garage, emptied the office. Empty the office. And I think when all is said and done, they're gonna be able to park his motorcycle and her car in the garage, which is fabulous. And you got three big shelves put up, got rid of a bunch of old shelves and went to the dump, got a bunch of stuff to go on to the front lawn. What did he say? He had 700 pounds of dump. Was this 700 pounds? I'm not surprised. I think it was a lot, yeah. They weighed his car or something? I guess they did, yeah. It was a lot. We had all these shelves and a bunch of junk and it's all gone. It's all gone and they're not done. They still have a lot to do when they, you know, Paxton's only a month old, but they have to, the idea is to get the house clean and clear so they can baby proof. And they've made great headway, but we're gonna be having to have one or two more sessions where we all get together and do this and help them out. And so yeah, but it's good, but we're tired now. So we're heading home. We've got about a two hour drive to get home. And I think we're gonna just go straight through and we probably should stop somewhere for dinner, but I don't think we're going to. I think we're just gonna go home. And so yeah, anyway, it's been a fun week and we've had a good time. We hope you have too. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please leave them down below. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
