 Happy Sunday morning everybody. I evidently forgot to close the vlog last night. We're starting our Sunday morning off with some laundry and a walk. So it's supposed to rain later today. Although I don't know. It doesn't really look like it's going to but I don't know. We'll see I guess. We're gonna take crazy pants for our walk this morning before it does storm or whatever. It's going to do this afternoon and then we have to go to the store. We need a few groceries so we'll take her walking first and then she can get kind of tired and then we shall be happy to sit in her crate while we go to the store so that's the plan anyway. All right I'll be back. Okay so it is just about lunchtime 11 58 a.m. on Monday October 11th and don't get excited. I only know that because number one the microwave clock is right there and number two I've done this already so anyway. I've gotten quite a bit done today so I got the vlog edited and scheduled and loaded for the week. I got all the weekly Facebook art group posts done and scheduled out. I finally got the stack of Patreon mail all ready to go. I need three stamps and one address. Everything else is ready to go. I'm so surprised. Anyway we're gonna go for a walk. Take nut job. The dog not Bob. I'll go for a walk and see what we can see get some steps in before dinner. She's been very good all afternoon of being very patient and relaxing while we were both getting a lot of work done and now it's her time to play so we'll go get that done. I'll be back. Good morning everybody. It is Tuesday morning 9 33 a.m. October 12th I think. It has been a morning. Our morning started at 4 a.m. How about you? So don't know what set Lily off. I said before in a previous clip she's got a very finicky stomach and she's really a junk food dog. Like don't buy fancy dog food because she'll barf. She just eats Purina and although we got Purina again I do think we normally get chicken and rice and this time we got lamb and rice and maybe that was a mistake because she threw up last night in her crate a few times and then we got her out of the crate and got a cleaned up or she threw up again. So we're kind of keeping an eye on her this morning. She did have a little bit more dry food. She's outside at the minute and then we just got a text a few minutes ago that my mother-in-law who's going to be 93 in a couple of months fell in her kitchen. She's okay but she cut herself. I don't know how badly Bob will call and talk to her later. A pair of medics had to come and address it so was that enough for that. I'm supposed to go run errands today but I'm thinking maybe I should just stay home. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something. What do you think? I'll be back. I don't think she looks very much like she had a dog that got sick last night or that isn't feeling well. What do you all think? Lily want to go for a walk? I've done that because she gets like that but after this morning I think that's a good indication she's feeling better. What do you all think? Let's hope she doesn't barf tonight and if she goes 24 hours without throwing up I'll be able to cancel the vet appointment she has tomorrow so. You know what? It's raining and I don't care and we're out for a walk. Lily is feeling better I think. She's being her normal crazy insane self. That's a good sign. She hasn't coughed or done something weird once. In fact she hasn't done that in a few hours so she hasn't thrown up since four o'clock this morning so all good. Good morning everybody. It is 9 0 5 a.m. Wednesday, October 13th I think maybe. Anyway Lily seems to be doing better. She's thrown up in 24 hours. We found out from the kids late last night and I don't know at the time of filming this if I've said yet or not that she does this evidently like once a month. We knew she had a sensitive stomach. I already knew that. I didn't know that she was doing it like once a month. Their vet has advised them too that she's just a dog with a sensitive stomach and stress or the wrong food or just too much grass or whatever will just set her off and she'll throw up. If it lasts more than two or three days give her a low dose Pepsid AC and they've said she takes it like you don't have to do anything special. You just put it in her bowl of food and she'll take it with the food and she eats it and it's not a problem so although she's better right now I'm going to go out and go get her some said Pepsid and they told me what kind to get and how much to give her and all that so we'll have it for her. I also now because we have an abundance now of dry food I need to go get some containers to keep it in rather than the bag so it keeps days fresh longer and yeah so I was going to go to Dollar Tree also yesterday but then the dog got sick and I was going to go to Value Village too to be fair but now I'm not going to do that. I like to go on Tuesdays. It's senior discount day and I qualify. I don't need anything but you know I like a discount. All right morning everybody it is Thursday October 14th 8 24 a.m. Don't get excited I had to stop and look. You saw a little bit of footage of me dumping some old inks and purchased ones and DIY ones that we're drying up or getting gross into some bags of fabric here. We are going to just let them soak for a few days that's right days they are in this plastic tub. I'm going to leave them outside here somewhere just so they're out of the way or in the garage on the workbench maybe behind that maybe and then in a few days between rainstorms because we're about to get a bunch of rainstorms I will rinse them off outside because they're full of ink so I don't want that in the house of the sink so I just took a bunch of old fabric that I had and I just put them in zip lock bags dumped like colors together and we'll just see what happens when it's done I'll treat it like any other dye job and I'll rinse most of the leftover ink off of the fabric outside until the water runs clear or fairly clear and then we'll run it through the washing machine and we'll see what happens I don't know it might be a big failure but we'll find out. I also rearranged and reorganized some stuff in the art room got rid of some old mediums and inks that were drying up and things I was never going to use and that were just really past it not even good enough to pass along to be honest now of course I have to relabel a few things because you know yeah I also put out some inks that I've had my stash that I want to use that were to put away out of sight and by the way you saw my hands were inky here's the other hand that was really red Murphy's oil soap and some kind of scrubby sponge thing we'll get it right off yes I know I smell like Murphy's but that's fine all right that's it for the minute I will be back okay it's taken a long time but I'm making progress over here each one of these shelves used to have two bins on it and then two bins on the floor I'm doing pretty good don't you think using it up letting it go yeah I'm very happy about that all right I'll be back okay so all three of the videos I got edited in the last couple of days are loaded to YouTube and scheduled out the first one is not gonna air the first one the last one will air until the first week of the November and you just saw me mix three sort of pastelly colors of paint to use on the next episode of a messy journal or so stay tuned for that um and I'm listening to Mike Deacon's vlog well I'm doing all of that so yeah arrange things I hope I can find stuff it looks better and it's more organized but that doesn't mean it's gonna work all right I'll be back I need to find out where they got those eyeballs because that's cool fun fact that like Halloween better than Christmas it's a thing I don't know what to tell you I'll be back I know some of you find it disgusting but I love candy corn so there but it's got to be brocks otherwise why bother I'll be back it's just before 11 a.m on Friday October 15th uh come to a foggy Saturday morning in order it's colder than it should be this time of year it's a lot foggier than it usually is this time of year yeah so um whoa um even before um I read any um news articles about it this morning um some friends and I were talking who also live in different parts of Oregon and we kind of all agree that we're sort of expecting a colder winter if we don't have one we're all gonna be surprised so so we're headed out for a walk before lunch we got our errands done but if you saw this clip you saw some clips from Costco while it was pretty well stocked it was very very peopley even more than a normal Saturday morning yeah fredmeyer had some extra empty shelves and were missing supplies so we had to make a few substitutions but to be honest I didn't feel like it was anything more than we've been seeing throughout COVID at least not yet um there were a few people who didn't have masks on but again not too many people were actually pretty good about it um there was just a lot of people out so anyway we're going for a walk now and before we have lunch Lily goes home this afternoon um so take her for one last walk before that happens and then after she goes home we can set Hazel to do the floors and clean up all the dog hair which is everywhere anyway all right that's it for the minute I'm gonna go see what I can see and I'll be back anyways you just saw I was missing out the incandies out of the fabric and I now have it in the washing machine I got 99 95% of the ink and dye out I have it in there with some of my painting rags and household rags and I use fabric rags for my paint for a long time I have for a long time um how I wash them is I run them in the washing machine with some washing machine cleaner soap which currently I have oxy clean brand and you run it in there this one is with hot water I think they're all a little bit different but you put the soap in usually in the washing machine and with nothing in it and you run it on a cleaning cycle when I'm doing the rags I do all that only it's not empty there's rags in there and then once that cycle is done I'll run it one or two more times with no soap just the rags to sort of rinse any extra residue out of the rags and out of the machine then I'll take them out and I'll do one load with clothes that don't matter dark colors maybe empty with regular soap to just try to get the rest of anything else that might be in there out or test it sometimes what I do is look up here in my closet and find white or light color rags like this one put that in there and then see if it comes out still that same color or not um I haven't had a problem with that in a long in a long time I've been doing this for a really long time since way before we moved and it has never been an issue so I think yeah that it's a freaking merry miracle I didn't get dialed down my brand new shirt when I was rinsing out that fabric so I hope you've had a great week that's our week in a wrap up uh hold on chicken broth it's not I've already had my coffee anyway this next week is filled with activity which I'll fill
