yesterday i got home super super late from work um i just had a project to finish up and it just took way longer than expected as per usual my battery's about to die so this might get cut off but um i'm gonna take off my makeup off um i did reach out on instagram because my face has been like so chapped and dry and you guys have given me some awesome suggestions i've been starting to use this and this really works well and then um jody over at life's organized chaos recommended this it's the neutrogena hydro boost water gel i'll link below if y'all are interested but yeah my nose corners of my mouth and my forehead have just been chapped like literally scaling up and um if you guys have been watching my videos for a while or like i talk about skincare once in a while i have really oily skin i've never had this happen before um so anyway okay but i'm working on it it's better than it was but yeah the the main areas are like right here but then like i'm breaking out too i don't really understand it but whatever so anyway it's been a good day so far okay i'm downstairs now my battery stopped like i thought it would there's the doil right there and this is my face oh it's so bad you guys um anyway but uh yeah that's what's going on here just trying to remedy the situation and using my chlorasonic every day um which has been good kind of sloughs off the dead skin and whatnot but just like hydrating a lot so um yeah hopefully it'll get rid of this stuff but just really really irritating but it's better than it was guys it's so much better than it was but this weekend i think i'm just gonna like sit around with like hydration station on my face so i can get rid of this but anyway um i better take doil on a walk real quick oh i did actually make some dinner last night i just made some rice and chicken and um i'm going to eat some of that this evening so here is my chicken and um it's the trader joe's chicken i make it all the time because it's just like super simple and easy it is i always have like extras in here um this the mandarin orange chicken from trader joe's one of my favorites so yeah but um let me go take doil on a walk i will check in with you guys in a little while let you know when i'm up to i might feel some etsy orders tonight or tomorrow i'm not sure either one um but yeah so i will see you guys in just a moment hello i am back just getting stuff ready for the morning time getting my oatmeal ready my dishwasher is going hold on it's like it was like making a weird noise because i it cranked it a little too much let's start this again there it goes it's doing what it's supposed to do anyway getting my apples and cinnamon oatmeal ready for the morning time just take my bowl out and i put this in the bowl like that so it's ready for the morning pretty basic here over at the fde house and uh yeah so i need to pick out my outfit for tomorrow tomorrow's friday and we are having a holiday party tomorrow so i'm actually kind of looking forward to it because i'm part of the like party committee thing which means that hold on let me turn this off this is irritating to some um that means that i am not gonna be working like what i normally do for a few hours in the morning so that'll be actually kind of nice but i do have a big pile of work on my desk so what do you do but anyway so i'm picking out my outfit i'm gonna wear these jeans and it is the holiday party so i think i'm going to wear my my version of an ugly christmas sweater oh wow you can like see all the dead skin on my face awesome so i'm gonna wear this i wore this last year it's from target um it's a mossimo sweater and um i really like it it's just gray and white because you guys know me i can't do color so and then i'm gonna grab one of my new tank tops that i got whoa it's like falling off um hold on let me let me figure this out so anyway yeah i got these new tank tops at target and um i'll wear that underneath there so that'll be good and then let me grab underwear which you don't need to see they're just black and boring like my soul and i think yeah i got socks as well so put those over here cool outfit picked out and it's seven o'clock and i'm tired i checked my time tickets like i'm hourlyed and i checked my time tickets today and i'm like hi i wonder how much like time i've put in whatever and um the last two days it was nine and a half hours like that's insane but it's just like the day gets away from me and it gets busy and then i don't know the way that i like i input orders basically some people are like what do you do for a living so the way i like to explain it is that i interpret design engineer drawings to make them suitable for the shop so i like plug in all the materials and things like that and we have some standard things that you know go through but there's a lot of custom stuff which means that like i basically have to build it in the computer and um you know basically you math all day um you know lots of quantities cut lengths um material different types of material aluminum steel wood hardware like lots of different stuff so anyway but that's uh that's what i do all day so it's definitely like taxing on the brain um but then there's like little like weird lull patches as well so when you have those weird lull patches i mean i have stuff to do in house which is good and other like trainings and things like that that i um do but uh it's like at the end of the day it's like i swear i swear all of our um designers and project managers like wait until the end of the day you're like after lunch to like submit stuff and i'm like no i don't want anything on my calendar so anyway i just try to get motivated to like get it done and it's just hard to leave in the middle of doing something because then i have notes all over everything oh and speaking of notes i had like today i think it was i had four different like piles of projects that i was like waiting on other people to get back to me and then i was able to get rid of three of my piles today and then one pile i'm still waiting on for tomorrow but uh individual i need to talk to will be in my office tomorrow so i'll just talk to them then and then we'll uh get that figured out but yeah i'm so sorry this is like such a boring vlogging series i'm not traveling i'm not doing anything that incredibly exciting um yeah tomorrow i am gonna bring my camera with me tomorrow i'm hoping that i can vlog a little bit um i'm not gonna like show people that don't want to be seen um uh basically most people in my office know that i like do videos and stuff like that some of them actually watch some of them don't watch um but we are gonna be going out um after our holiday party and our holiday party ends at i think two two thirty something like that i'm not really sure um sorry i'm like not reading emails i'm just kind of like cleaning up my inbox at the moment multitasking guys multitasking and um so we're gonna go out afterwards and then one of my co-workers um it's her birthday so that's kind of exciting as well and she's turning 30 which is even cooler so um i think we have some spouses meeting us afterwards like not clearly my spouse but um other spouses that you know are a part of the extended team at work so yeah that'll be really fun so um yeah i think we're to go out and have a drink and then maybe have some apps or something i mean i don't know what's gonna happen but i'm not going out all night or anything like that so i'll probably end up still leaving at like four or five i'm not gonna go like crazy because i'm too old for that crap so anyway but um yeah so i am gonna internet here for just a little bit i've got my internet up here um i have some emails to respond back to and i am so tired oh goodness but um i'm gonna wash my face because i gotta i gotta get with this so yeah well we're gonna figure this out guys we're gonna figure it out but i've never had this drive skin before ever ever ever so i'm just like very ill equipped to deal with dry skin but thankfully um a lot of you reached out to me on instagram and gave me your advice and that that one lotion is working pretty good and i think this weekend i'm gonna try the one um from jody so yes i just don't want that one to like make me peel more and then tomorrow i have to be like greeting people and stuff like that um you know not that i'm like super vain but i just don't want my like face falling off in people's faces when they're like checking in to the event that we're throwing so anyway um and i'm gonna go i'm gonna stop rambling but thank you guys so much for watching the series if you want to watch uh other series they're down below so i have all of my vlogmas series for you guys listed so it's my third
