 glasses she's got on you ask these are the glasses I wear when it's my night vision last night went home straight to bed four hours and then got up again at three o'clock this morning so I can get my husband back to the airport to go to Delaware for business for a few days he'll be back Wednesday so yeah I have been up this early in the morning driving around like this short of flying in a while there have been a few times in the last year that we've been up this early for flying I used to do early like this all the time when I was working still for American greetings but yeah that wasn't a long time ago anyway it is what we laughingly refer to as the butt crack of dawn and I am headed back to the house probably won't be able to go back to sleep because now I'm awake so probably just have some more coffee and some breakfast and watch some YouTube see what happens I'll be back so it's three o'clock in the afternoon it's still Sunday and holy cow I'm dragging my butt can just not get up at four o'clock in the morning anymore especially what I've only had like three or four hours of sleep I am not young anymore I did end up despite the fact that I had two cups of coffee I ended up going to sleep on the couch for a couple of hours so that probably did me some good I've had some good healthy eating today I've had a protein bar some yogurt some cheese some like good healthy things I'm gonna probably make Bob's not here I'd have to cook but I have a really nice whole grain locally made bread some homegrown lettuce and onion sprouts and I boiled a couple of eggs the other day so I think I'm gonna make a really nice egg salad sandwich for dinner but I think when I'm gonna do my walking partners not here he's in Delaware so I don't think I'm gonna walk too far in the neighborhood by myself although we live in a very safe area I'm not comfortable doing that yet but we I can walk around our little community that I am comfortable with so I think I'm gonna make a couple laps around the community get a few extra steps and it's not gonna be like when he's here and we go walking and I have no problem getting 10,000 steps but at least I can do something and as you can see I have my what I call my slouchy fat clothes on they you know this just does nothing for my figure these are slouchy comfortable fat clothes that's just you know they make me look fatter than I am but that's okay I don't care today I don't care I did get my ATC done today my artist trading coin and I got my paperclip done today I got the social media thing done albeit all of them I got them late but I did get them done I'm working on laundry right now I'm soaking some towels and I'm gonna do some drawing I didn't do last night's drawings because I got home way too late and I you know wasn't here it was yesterday was too much of a rush with meetings and catching times and yeah it was just too crazy so I'm gonna do yesterday's and today's tonight but first let's put some socks on and let's go for a walk well that's interesting I've misplaced my beige sweatshirt that I usually wear hmm look a couple extra places hanging on a hook in the closet instead of on the coat rack out in the front entryway and I walked by said hook in the closet three times didn't see yeah I'm gonna go for a walk now I'm a little bit scratchy-throated scraggly mucusy I don't know what you want to call it from our this is my bathroom by the way from our quick trip to California yesterday so I'm gonna grab a cough drop I really don't want to use my inhaler again I did that yesterday while it was in California and you know I'm just I don't take it anymore besides the fact that it's strong the rescue inhaler because that's what it's meant to do right help you breathe but then my hands are like like I've had two cups two pots of coffee I'd rather to use a cough drop so we're gonna do that I'll be back see how far I get by myself my anxiety has been at a high level for a couple going on a couple weeks now so I just need to be mindful of that and not stress myself out so we'll see how far I get by myself hello everyone it is Monday June 24th I think it's just about 1 30 p.m. what did I do this morning that I didn't chatted with my friends started some laundry social media yeah a lot of a little just a little bit of a few things I don't know anyway I was chatting with my friends mostly doing nothing but that's okay cleaning out some bins getting rid of some stuff that doesn't serve anymore and now the people who help me keep the house clean because it's a big house they're here right now working so I'm gonna go check the mail I need to collect the garbage cans and basically keep myself out of their way so they can do their job so I'm gonna do that and I'll be back hey guys it is Tuesday morning I almost said Wednesday my keys sorry it's Tuesday morning June 25th I think the day after Monday I'm running errands on the way home I ate lunch today I got the mail and then I sat down and watched YouTube for like two hours when I should be doing other stuff upstairs right holy cow all right let's head upstairs now after I put my bowl in this dimension I still have tomorrow's vlog to edit I haven't even started yet an ATC card a paper clip I've got some resin I need to pour yeah anyway let's go upstairs spent the day filming some stuff for YouTube and my creative year the Facebook group I teach him with some friends if you want to join the link is in the description below the video I also was working on today's of course ATC and paper clip because I'm still doing that and a couple other new things I need to go into my one of my fabric boxes while I need to clean out some of the fabric boxes out and I need to pull some things out I know we're in there that I want to work on and have at the table when I was able to stop at Daiso you all saw in the last vlog I picked up some more of those little wire baskets and I want to fill one of one of them or more up with some canvas tags that I know we're in one of those fabric boxes I don't think I got rid of them anyway I want to have them at the table and I want to use them to wipe extra paint and stuff off on I want to start working on them for creative embellishment so anyway I need to do that I didn't get that done but I did get a lot of other stuff done and upstairs which is good and I got a good start on laundry I think the last loads in the washing machine the biggest thing I have to do today is go get my husband at the airport and he doesn't get in until 9 o'clock it's Wednesday June 26th it's 7 21 p.m. don't get excited I got the iPad on anyway it's gonna take me at least an hour to get to the airport because of traffic because it's storming out and Oregon storms are pretty can be pretty bad lots of rain thunder and lightning do you hear that so yeah so I'm gonna take my time and go slowly I'm gonna be the little 90 year old grandma driving on this in the slow lane on the freeway so yeah alright that is it for the moment I am gonna go put some socks and shoes and a sweatshirt on and get myself headed towards the airport I guess wish me luck I'll be back first of all that's the stormy sky out in front of me there's no lightning right now but there has been these giant bolts of lightning and very loud that claps of thunder and lots of water typical Portland rainstorm where it's like God dumped a bucket bucket of water out over your head for like 20 minutes straight I have never seen this many vehicles in the cell phone waiting area it is absolutely crazy and the view behind me let me zoom in but you see all those cars back there it's like the parking lot after a rock concert all of you who've been to a concert before know exactly what I'm talking about holy cow people honking people being rude this is the first time since being an organ I've seen this I'm used to it in California it happens all the time but wow I'm glad I have a little time here I'm hoping most of the flights these people are here for come at like 8 30 which is like right about now and that they're all gone by the time I get the phone call that my husband's landed cross your fingers all right that's it for the moment I'll be back hey guys it is Thursday afternoon I don't think I vlogged this morning it's June 27th it is 2 23 p.m. yeah I would hope I could tell you at least that because hello computer I've been working on editing video all day and working on some art projects one of the things I don't think I'm gonna share on YouTube or anything probably social media at some point is it took a bunch of product packaging these are actually raisin boxes and for those of you who know what Pocky are the cookies they look like long sticks anyway these are Pocky boxes I covered them with copies of some backgrounds that I've done dropped one on the floor and they're all drying so I have a whole bunch of them and then one on the floor I've got to pick up now I'm gonna be making a bunch of little journals out of them some to keep and use and play with and some to put in the Etsy store so look for that I have the first of first three videos for July loading right now and they're all edited and ready to go and then I have some tutorials I need to film but the first three like for next week are all loading so I'm good and then I have between today and like next week to get the rest done which should be no problem and my husband's working from home today he's back from Philadelphia yay if you're watching this you've already seen the vlog clips from the airport from trying to pick them up who I had no idea Wednesday must be a hub day a big business travel day those of you who travel more than I do and travel for business might know that I had no idea like that airport was crazy and my husband said that the Philadelphia Airport was also insane so anyway yeah just relaxing at home and getting some projects done the work table let's see semi sort of clean cameras set up ready for the next project we've got things drying and yeah we're all good how are you I hope you're good all right I'll be good morning it's Friday June 28 I think I don't know what time it is it's after 9 a.m. I don't think it's 10 o'clock but it's after 9 o'clock anyways I'm out here in the back checking on my tomatoes and there is a lot of them but they're all still green it's Saturday June 29th I don't know what time it is and listen I only know the day because I've been upstairs once already making today's ATC card and paperclip and checking out social media and stuff what time is it 10 49 a.m. we're gonna be going out in a bit to run some errands do some fun things like a little fun for us like get a library card which we haven't done yet we love the library I'm gonna see if I can talk him into taking me to the art salvage store in Portland today cross your fingers okay here's a little bit of TMI so postmenopause I have a problem with dry skin flaky patches rashes I was always I always had sensitive skin it's gotten worse postmenopause so I'll get some adult acne it's not even just acne it's like a rash and it turns into these big dry scaly patches that don't want to go away some of you women out there who are in my position know exactly what I'm talking about you're all nodding your heads so when I was young I had oily skin and I had to do everything I could to dry it out and now I have to do everything I can to moisturize it's like the total opposite so one of a couple things I found is actually using jojoba oil and vitamin E on my face works really well I also found an Etsy seller that makes dandelion salve where are we the light's really bad hang on well probably because I don't have it on one the bathroom by the way there we go so I found this dandelion salve from an Etsy seller and that's as clear as it's gonna get but anyway I will link it in the description below I got this small jar you can get a small like sample sized jar which I got I've been using this especially on my hands basically after every time after I wash my hands I put some on my hands I had I got a rash or little hives or something along my along the side of my hand of my pinky finger what it's just yeah so anyway their hive and rash is gone but now the skins all dry so anyway so the salve is really helping a lot it's almost gone now and I just put a little bit of it on every time after I wash my hands so I've got to order some more I'm gonna order a bigger one you can make it yourself there is lots of ways and recipes online directions on how to make dandelion salve yourself to be honest I can't be bothered and if somebody out there selling it and making it I'd rather do that so supporting a fellow creative and fellow Etsy store owner so dandelion salve if you're like me and you have really sensitive skin and the store-bought stuff doesn't always work in fact sometimes it makes it worse you might want to try it just saying alright are in downtown Portland and paying to park the car and down below anyway we're gonna head over to scrap there so we're gonna go check it out I'll bring you with me $14 in the store mostly vintage things these really cute little not zipper pulls so anyway I'll share later but yeah we're gonna head over to the library now and get groceries exciting I know I'll be library cards so we feel like real citizens of Oregon I love the library so to see we'll be back they cool because not only do they have an awesome music selection and movie selection along with some books I got I don't know six or eight art magazines for 25 cents each and they have a display of dinosaur bones replica I think most of our replicas and if you're watching this clip you've seen the clip of those that I took when no one was looking hopefully and they also have a program where for kids they can check out discovery bags to help them discover different things in nature and they also have other things that you can check out from the library like sewing machines and telescope telescope yeah and other like a whole host of different things here in Washington County Oregon so that's pretty cool anyway now we're gonna get groceries then we're gonna go home we both need something cold to drink his he wants rum in his so anyway we'll be back filming and not having a camera on so we went to the library and I got some music checked out some music but I don't think I've heard before the names sound familiar this is a blues a lily owl and I have I have some of lily animals music I don't think I have this particular one but and then this one I got a bunch of boxes for the charity auction eBay auction we're gonna be having soon it is coming soon I promise before the end of July the auctions will be live and you'll see a video from me and then the Creative Reuse Center this is the one I went to you evidently they have more locations so I need to figure out where those are exactly I got a bunch of stuff including envelopes from World War two with a postage intact this broken CD case I know but I had ideas for it as soon as I saw it these a few of these tags from port parking permits I don't know different sizes of interesting small bottles old slides and slide frames buckles old buckles some of these giant hooks and these cute little knobs wooden small wooden knobs this ball of yarn I didn't really need but couldn't resist and a few pay of these butterfly style paper clips and also some zipper pulls so weird interesting unusual salvage art salvage stores are popping up all over the country so I definitely would recommend them for you to acquire interesting unique art parts for your art room pretty hefty bag I just grabbed handfuls of things they're different names and I would definitely type in art salvage or creative reuse near me and see what pops up because they're all over the place I know my friend Cindy has one near her in South Carolina that she goes to with Carla and in San Francisco we had one and evidently there's more than one of them around here so I'm gonna have to do some research to see where the other locations are so anyway that's it for today I also got some happy mail from C shanks thank you so much and yeah parking downtown to go to the creative reuse center was a whole five dollars I'm so used to California prices anyway that's it for today we're gonna go chill downstairs have some clothing cold to drink I'm hot and I need to catch up on yesterday's drawings and do today's too so I'm gonna go do that I hope you've had a great week I know
