 guys happy Sunday morning. So it's Sunday morning December 1st. It's 1151 a.m. so technically it's still morning. Kids are gonna be coming by with some more boxes to store and I think I've decided besides doing maybe some other things I think I'm gonna put a few things on hold. I have of course always projects on the desk to do but I'm gonna focus most if not all of today and the next couple of days to doing a massive YouTube channel cleanup. So there will be some video that maybe you've seen before and you suddenly can't find on my channel that because I deleted it and I have a copy of course I have a copy some of it's going over to Patreon. Some of it's just going to my storage hard drive my external hard drive. It just doesn't serve the channel anymore. It doesn't it isn't content I want on the channel anymore. Some of it like I stated in last week's vlog are giveaway videos. I don't believe in bribing y'all to watch my channel. You either want to watch or you don't. So I am using the opportunity of what's going on with YouTube right now to do something that I've hesitated to do for literally for at least two years which is a massive YouTube channel cleanup and deleting video. I haven't done it up until now and it's kind of a YouTube no-no because you use you lose views. One of the videos I'm looking at right now has over a thousand views. So but I'm deleting it. I'm letting it go. It doesn't serve my channel and I don't need to have it on the channel anymore. It is not content I want on the channel anymore. So I am letting it go and when I was with the multi-channel network which I'm not anymore it was something they would tell me not to do but I yeah it's just going away. So I'm spending today doing that and I am gonna get as far through that as I can. I think I'm up to midway of 2014 and it's December 2019 so I got a ways to go. There's over 2,000 videos on my channel at least there was before I started deleting stuff. So it's gonna take me a few days to get it done but I'm going to get it done. So that's my focus right now. What about you? It's Monday morning December 2nd, 7.54 a.m. I probably should put reading glasses on but yeah that's what it looks like squinting at the iPad. I'm finishing up my coffee still in my pajamas. I'm gonna grab a sweater from down here and some slippers. I'm gonna head upstairs and continue work on the YouTube channel. I don't have any appointments or anything. I'm not expecting people to come over so if I'm in my pajamas most of the day it doesn't matter. So anyway might be a three-kepper coffee day. Alright I'll be back. It's 5.50 p.m. and I think the husband just drove up so I got it all done in time even though I only had like 10 minutes. I used to have an hour between when he told me he was leaving work and when he actually got home and since we moved he has like a 10 minute commute if traffic sucks. So anyway I got it done anyways. Yay. Alright I'll be back Tuesday December I think it's the third anyways it's Tuesday. It's about 10 o'clock and I am a good couple of hours ahead of schedule from where I was yesterday. That's the ring doorbell the security. Probably it's the deer they're outside eating. Anyway I'm a couple hours ahead of schedule where I was at this time yesterday. I am halfway through 2016 video files on YouTube. My goal is to just take one year at a time and not look at the sheer number of videos on my channel because that's just gonna be too overwhelming and my anxiety will get the better of me to be perfectly honest and that's why I haven't done it before now. Anyway I'm halfway through 2016. My goal is today is to get 2016 done. I also need to edit the vlog that's supposed to air tomorrow from last week. So I need to do that and my goal is just to get oh yeah Bambi's outside. My goal is just to get 2016 done today and it's still morning technically. It's Wednesday December something. What is it? December 4th 11 32 a.m. I'm upstairs in front of the computer again editing the 2017 video files on YouTube at this point just so you know. My channel has little to no monetization on it which means I'm not making any money and I've set the whole channel for 18 plus which means that as well as YouTube is manually editing manually reviewing my videos they're demonetizing them. They're not suitable for children and I have set them for 18 plus so and when you do that it says not suitable for most advertisers limited or no ads which means I just basically I'm making no money on YouTube and it's not like I was making a ton to begin with but yeah there you have it. So anyway I am watching and or listening to Star Trek. I don't remember what this one is called. Star Trek Enterprise where Scott back up CBS All Access and I'm up to season three episode 10. I've been sort of playing it while I'm doing this editing. I've got to have something to do and it's 12 27 p.m. just after lunch and today's round of video edits on YouTube are done so I'm good through like January 15th or something 2018. So tomorrow the goal is to get all of 2018 done and if I feel up to it 2019 otherwise I've designated Friday morning for 2019. Bye. Goodness. Okay so I'm working on a watercolor palette project in between editing videos for YouTube which involves these tins here. This is one of the less smashed ones but can you see the dents and yeah so these are from Amazon. I am going to try to find I'm going to try to do a video on what I'm doing with them. I'm going to try to find a different supplier other than the seller on Amazon but these are from Amazon and I will put that link but fair warning I've gotten two shipments of them they both came smashed because they weren't packaged properly or they're not being stored in the warehouse properly or they're being thrown around by the carrier. I don't know. Anyway I just talked to Amazon customer service and I don't have to return the tins they're giving me my money back. I might be able to use some of them as is my husband's gonna maybe pound some dents out of some the ones that are not usable will go in the recycle bin and I'll have a video future video about what I'm doing with them that's not what I got on camera about. So I talked to a nice young lady at an Amazon customer service turns out she's a YouTube fan of my and subscriber of my channel and so that was really great conversation to have with her anyway. I talked to her for a while probably longer than we needed to and she was so sweet about it and asking me questions about YouTube so if you're out there watching welcome and it was so great to talk to you but for how funny is it you call Amazon customer service about an issue you get a YouTube fan. Oh boy it's not the first time something like that has happened to me but it just kills me every time in a good way. I think it's great and it's one of the reasons why I never decided to do this under a pseudonym or pretend to like be somebody I'm not. I wanted to be relatable and I wanted I'm just you I'm just like you guys I'm just me and yeah so anyway that you really help me out a lot and I hope if nothing else our conversation about the Amazon product the Tins helps the seller and any future purchasers because I've gotten two shimmers of them they both have come smashed in varying degrees of smashness but they both have come smashed and that was just one example so yeah I mean it's not going to be I was hoping I could do something with them and then maybe sell the extras on the Etsy shop but the product it doesn't come in a way that I think that's going to work because they're already they're dented and damaged so I'm gonna have to find a different supplier if I choose to do that so we'll see. Holy cow it's been a morning afternoon time is it 333 all right that's it for the moment I'll be back. It's been like what four days since I've been for a walk today was the first day in like three days that I've actually been out of the house maybe four days it's been a while I haven't been out of the house since Saturday. It's Wednesday anyway. Saturday's still not Sunday? Did we do that Sunday or Saturday? I thought we did it Saturday. We went grocery shopping Sunday. We did okay so I thought we did all that Saturday. So I hadn't been out of the house since Sunday. Anyway definitely haven't been walking that I haven't been doing so anyway we're going out for a walk tonight. I'll be back. It's Thursday I've lost track.
