 Good morning everybody. It is just after 11 a.m. Sunday January 16th. I am just now downloading all of the vlog footage for last week I'm going to try to get that edited today before lunch Today is my dad's birthday. Happy birthday dad. He is 83 years old today. So anyway, yeah all of my medical symptoms for the most part seem to have gone with the way of the protein bar I was eating so Yeah, that was a little bit scary, but we got it taken care of I'm gonna See if I can what I can do about editing the vlog. So I'm not like giving you guys TMI But anyway, but also being real about health issues like we need to like just acknowledge when our body's not feeling well As we get older especially so anyway, I don't know that we're doing anything in particular day hanging out around the house Just yeah, I don't think so. I have a physical therapy appointment in the morning Tomorrow, but Bob has and Bob has the day off We don't have anything again in particular to do but there's always chores to be done. So we'll see. All right Vlog is edited and loading as we speak The posts for Facebook art groups are Scheduled out and the video the vlog is loading. It's loading. It's edited. It's like all the things It's just about lunchtime So probably gonna stop and do that. I didn't get a couple of these Look at these house ornament kits Home Depot was giving them away around Christmas time. I never did put them together So I think this next week I will be doing that. I will be filming the gnome video I left some of the gnome stuff out. I'm gonna go pick a couple more colors of fabric and Put the embroidery floss away that I've already used for the ones I made last night Random no-nosers because I did spill the jar this morning. I Did these are I've been using an eight millimeter wooden bead which works fine It's a little bit small, but it's what I could find I did find this morning a one centimeter or 10 millimeter wool felt ball that actually might work better And if I like it, I know I'm a little bigger one. They have a one and a half millimeter one So anyway, so and I like the idea that would a wool ball So anyway, we'll see so those are the things I'm gonna work on this next week I think oh, I also have to print out some inspiration images for my downstairs drawing journal and The mood board for the RT trio video because I want to try to get that filled the film this week, too So I always stuff to keep me busy and maybe out of trouble All right, I'll be there. It is Monday morning January 17th 8 o 9 a.m. I'm running late already. It just started the day and I'm already running late So I have physical therapy this morning Bob is off today. We're gonna go I think over to The mall today, but we both need new clothes things are threadbare in my case. Things are too big Yeah, so anyway, we need to go do that today But I have therapy first I intended to wake up a lot earlier than I did So I can have my coffee and everything before I went Yeah, none of that happened. I've really had enough time to shower I do have a cup of coffee in the car here to go and Yeah, I'll have some more when we get back and a little bit of breakfast and So many things I wanted to do today before we got the carpet anyway Such as it is So happy Monday I'm going to physical therapy and I'll be back. It is a conversation between me and my husband about how a Lot of my clothes were too big Literally, I was walking from the bedroom to the coffee pot the other morning and my pajama pants fell off like I Did take them in but That just led to a cascade of other things and so many of my clothes were too big and then he said after thinking about it I've got some stuff that's threadbare or that I'm not gonna wear anymore. He used to wear a lot Before we moved but our lifestyle is just different. Anyway, a little small closet clear clear out led to Yeah There are a few things in those bags. I think we need to go shopping today to try to replace but That's crazy All right, I'll be back Well, he's chasing after the local raccoon who likes to walk across our front yard and set off the cameras But we go out there. I don't know where he goes. He's very quick Yeah, he's already gone So earlier I said that we had clean closets out and we got rid of a lot of clothes I showed you guys some video. We donated them all to a local charity and We went shopping to the mall to pick up a few things that we were missing now and Got that done There were some things they didn't have supply chain. Hello broken supply chain. So we came back home and I Ordered some things that I need because I had to get rid of the old ones They were too big or I have some that I've kept to I have to have some to wear anyway Either they didn't have them at the shops or They were so expensive and I Was able to get them directly from manufacturers. Okay fine fact. I like Haynes leggings I've always I've worn Haynes for a long time and make a good quality legging if you like stretchy pants They make the basic colors black gray all that stuff And they last and so Cheaper to get them directly from Haynes than to try to find them anywhere at the shops and Pajama bottoms. Why are pajama bottoms not a thing? I am not going to spend $36 on one pair of pajama bottoms from Vera Wang, I mean I do like simply Vera by Vera Wang. Don't get me wrong. I love her pajamas. They're very comfortable They last but $36 just for the pants really? No, thanks. Anyway, I'm gonna turn my computer off Yeah, it's still on and I need to do today's drawings. Bob's gotta bring the garbage can in all that stuff So anyway, happy Monday. It's just a crazy morning between Chats and filming a quick video for the patrons and my dad is here I have to take him to the airport tomorrow morning like at o dark 30 like seriously We're getting up at 4 30 in the morning Anyway, it's been a busy morning. I did get the gnome tutorial video filmed and Loaded for the patrons and supporters on their private channel and the pattern is over in patreon for them, too So if you'd like access to that Become a patron. It's pretty inexpensive. I try to download stuff monthly for you guys I'm always available for chats help advice All the time and all of that stuff we do as many sort of live Art and coffee kind of zoom things as we can Or Facebook chat thing. Anyway, you know what I mean. So anyway, think about joining But I got that done just in time for my dad to show up I got it edited filmed edited and loading and then he drove up. So good timing of my part My health situation lower GI situation from last week's vlog. You need to watch that. I'm not gonna explain all of it again Seems to have resolved itself. I cut out the food in question and no more problem. So Yay, all right But today is just Catching up on stuff like that tomorrow is a lot of stuff in the morning and then maybe napping later I have physical therapy date 30 but I think I'm gonna obviously gonna come home between airport runs and doing that to have coffee and wake up Probably shower after we do the airport run all that stuff and then I have to film an arty trio video either tomorrow or the next day and Something else that I can't remember Anyway, there's other stuff I need to do. So I'm gonna try to get it all done by Friday. We'll see Everybody it is a little dark out this morning. Sorry about the lighting It is 8 a.m. Straight up. I Have been up since Oh dark 30 literally We my dad and I got up at 4 30 this morning Not dressed had some coffee really quick and then I took him to the airport He is flying to Southern, California to spend some time with my brother again Yes, yes, I know against my better judgment, but he's fully vaccinated and all that stuff. I think I said that already anyway He will have a hopefully safe, but good time anyway, so I did that came home had some more coffee Cup and had breakfast Finally took a shower and we're headed to physical therapy this morning Last week's vlog just went live like one minute ago. It's now 801 so we'll see how you all respond to that and I'm getting messages from our friend and cleaning lady. Letty. She helps us that great deal And so I have to respond to that in a minute and There's a lot of stuff that needs doing always. So anyway Okay, it's like 230 or something. I got The R2 trio video filmed. I actually didn't think I was gonna get that done today, but It just wouldn't leave me alone. So it's filmed and in the can so to speak I'll edit it tomorrow. I also at Christmas time picked up two free Little house ornament kits from Home Depot. There was a little house ornament slash frame thing And I never did put them together. Of course, it's past Christmas now But I got two of them and I put them together and I painted them and put in our family photo with my dad all of us wearing ugly Christmas sweaters and I'm gonna give one to each of the kids if they want it and So those are downstairs. I'll put a picture here and Just real simple stuff and I had the little tiny Christmas trees in my stash of things and I was able to use them up so yay and Not necessarily anything I need to Go about replacing or anything.
