 Say that it sounds like I heard something fall, but this is a big house but that happens. I never know what it is or where it is. Good morning everybody. It is 11.51 I think AM or something. 11.16. I got my numbers mixed up. Anyway, big surprise. Happy Halloween everybody. It's October 31st. And yes, in case you didn't hear that, we have crazy pants for the night. We kept her last night as I said in last week's vlog. So we took our time getting ready this morning, having our coffee and stuff. And now we're going to take her out for a walk before lunch. See what we can see. It's a beautiful day out. It's in the mid fifties. I have my coat on, but that's just mostly because it's been a little bit windy and the wind is cold. So we'll see. I'll probably be hot and no time for that, but anyway. All right. In the meantime, we are continuing to work on the new YouTube channel. I'm getting that straight and putting processes in place. And yeah, it's all good. I'll be back. I love the skeleton house. I want somebody to decorate my house that way. It's so cool. Hold on. I mean, I think every year I show you all pictures and every year they add more skeletons. Now they've got the big giant one. It's just, I mean, I need more skeletons and more pumpkins. He says no, I don't, but I do. You're getting me a diamond tree. So cool. Anyway, on to the next. A bunch more videos transferred over to the new YouTube channel for the patrons. And then I was making my bone broth in the kitchen and I've been meaning to for a while pull out one or more of the kitchen cabinet drawers and make, I usually at the old house, I used to do it all the time to make sure to catch things that maybe fall behind the drawer. And I don't know if I've ever done it here, to be honest. And I just found out I haven't. Yeah, I got confirmation of that. Anyway, behind one of the drawers, I found a bunch of plastic Ziploc bags and a little bit of some spilled something. Lysol cleaner with bleach got it right up. So no feeder there. It's all cleaned. And behind another drawer, I, they were cleaning the other drawers behind. But I found some medical paperwork for one of the former owners. And yeah, so anyway, we made sure to dispose of everything properly. And I'm going to now drink my bone broth because I'm not sure how I got on that little journey. But anyway, Bob is outside trying to do something with all the pine needles front yard and backyard. I did the front yesterday. Y'all saw it in the last vlog, but yeah, we live next to the woods. It's just a disaster all the time. In this time of year, it's just like a, yeah, it's a thing. All right, I'll be back. It's been a weird day. I already said that. And no, stay. We live next to the woods besides deer and raccoons and things. We also kick. But he was literally right there by where Bob is standing. I don't know if that's too bad. I have a feeling it's bad. And that's the second time in as many days he's been seen that close to our house. Now they're meat eaters. So I'm pretty sure he's after the cats. The neighbor has three cats plus there's a bunch of feral cats. And I'm pretty sure he's after the cats. He's not after the bowl. I leave out there because that bowl's got corn in it. It does not have meat in it. The only other thing he could be interested in is the grand dog, Lily. Well, we're keeping her inside. She doesn't come in the front yard anyway, but we're keeping her inside right now. Keep the dog inside. Yeah. Anyway, coyotes. Yes, evidently we have a whole pack of them that lives in the woods next door. They're called the pack, I think. I think coyotes are packed too. If you guys know, leave it in the comments below. Hello, everybody. It is 10.18 a.m. Monday morning, November 1st. I am obviously upstairs in the art room. I'm continuing work on the new YouTube channel and loading videos over there and also doing some work on the old YouTube channel, the public YouTube channel. I found a bunch of videos that were unlisted or listed as private some of which I don't remember doing that to them. So I'm not sure why they were like that over there. So you're going to see a massive influx of video suddenly going public and probably be overwhelmed and like, what the hell is she doing? I want to unsubscribe. That's too much. Please don't do that. Just take a deep breath. You don't have to watch them if you don't want to. You can catch up later, all of that stuff. So anyway, I am also now I have to edit the vlog. I only have 48 minutes of clips, which is surprising because I thought it was more than that because of the wedding and everything. I am going to do some editing to respect people's privacy. That's going to be fun. Hey guys, it's just after six and we're headed out for a walk. Did you all know that there's a limit to how many videos you can upload to your YouTube channel in one day? I didn't know that. I mean, it's a big limit. And guess what? I hit the limit on the new channel for the patrons and supporters and I'm not done yet. So I have to try again tomorrow. Hey people, it is 9.53 a.m. Tuesday, November 2nd. Why I want to say Sunday to you? I have no idea. What is my hair doing this morning? Great. As you can tell, we're in the car. Tuesday has become air and day, which I'm okay with. If I have time, sometimes I stop at my favorite thrift store in town because it is also senior discount day and I do qualify. I don't know that I'm going to do that today. I'm not just not feeling it and I have a lot of other things to do. YouTube is not letting me upload any new videos to the new channel yet. I have to wait 24 hours and it isn't quite been that yet. Let me upload a few more. So I'll just do a few at a time until I get it done. But I have a bunch of old Crazy Island family video, just my portion, that I'm going to upload to the channel for patrons and supporters. So anyway, I need to drop off this today, expired inhalers. I also need to take my shoes in for repair. I also need to wait a little bit. Wait for it. Hang on to this in the front seat in case any of the patron mail came back. So far, none of it's come back, but I am expecting at least one back because I has got the wrong address on it. So anyway, if it doesn't come back soon, I'll just send her another one. All right, that's it for the minute. I think I'll be back. Okay, guys, I'm going to shout out a business. If you're in the Tualatin area of Oregon to Tualatin, she repair a little small mom and pop place. He fixed my shoes while I waited. He was only going to charge 15 bucks. I gave him a tip like I've got other shoes that either need stretching or need fixing at home. These were the easiest of the lot. So he did a great job on these. I think I'm going to have him fix the other ones. All right, I'll be back. When I was at the thrift store this morning, I know not only found some really cool drinking glasses, a style of which I've been looking for for a while. I also found this, this paper sorter thing, which is a great color for my art room. I love that color. And I kind of needed something to hold all of this stuff at that end of my table. And it was the right price. And it got seen your discount. So there's that. I put away a big stack of coffee dyed and distressed papers just now. And I've got a few more that are still drying. Turn the light off, went around and refilled and cleaned out all of my containers for paint water and dirty paint, dirty brushes. I have the ones are for dirty brushes. I got ready to film a, we're all ready to film another messy journal or episode. There's a sneak peek of pieces and parts. I also need to film another RT Trio. I can't show you that this idea. Okay, we're headed out to go get some steps in. I haven't gotten much done except a little cleaning upstairs in the art room. And of course all the errands. That's a big thing. Tuesday has become an errand day. I can't do two things at once anymore. My branches doesn't work that way. Must make sure I like the house. Anyway, my knees are bothering me for those that don't know I have a bad knee. I have a torn meniscus, among other things. I have the softening of the cartilage disease. I don't know what it's called. I can't ever remember. Anyway, I've got my fun accessory on because yeah, my knees have been bothering me. It's not going to stop me from walking. I just can't go as fast. Anyway, I can't run. I can't run for so many reasons. Not just to me. I just can't run. Anyway, it's not really raining at least not yet. We got there. Don't squish me straps. I've got a flashlight in my pocket. A cough drop in my mouth. Let's go get some steps in. I'll be back. I miss the ducks. They flew right overhead but I couldn't whip the phone out fast enough. You probably can hear them very faintly in the background. Anyway, and yes, it's dark out. I'll lighten this clip up in the video editor. But yeah, I'll be back. I'll lighten up the clip, especially this one of my face. More birds. All the ducks are swimming for the swimming, swimming, flying, flying towards the reservoir I think so they can go for a swim. That's what I meant to say. So we have a reservoir not too far from here, protected part of the wetlands. And this time of year all the birds hang out over there. At least until it gets icy. Anyway, walking in the middle of the street in the dark because that's smart. All right, I'll be back before I get hit by a car. Better pay attention to what I'm doing. Guys, it's 108 p.m. Wednesday, November 3rd and I just realized I don't vlog today. Oops. I got up this morning with the attention of catching up on some drawing which I've done on getting some work done in preparation for filming the next Artsy Trio video which this next month is going to be my mood board and I have some sort of experimenting I want to do and things are drawing in that regard. I also tried to upload more video to the new YouTube channel but it hasn't been long enough time yet so I'll let me. I'm going to just wait until tomorrow and then I can do like 15 videos a day or something. I don't know, 256 gigabytes, 12 hours max. Something like that. Anyway, manana. So fun fact. So since we had massive deadness in the woods next door and if you don't know what I'm referring to, we had a deer pass away in the woods next to our house. I don't know what they died of if it was natural causes or if they were attacked by coyotes or maybe hit by a car and then came over here to die but they did feel safe enough to come do that right next to my house which there I'm okay with till it starts smelling bad. Anyway, it was a long story. We took a little bit but we got it taken care of and since that happened we've had some deer come back. Mostly we have coyotes. Lots of coyotes. Like every single day. It's crazy. Here is some ring video footage of last night's coyote who was just having a good old time relaxing in our driveway evidently. Yeah so anyway there's something about coyotes being your spirit animal and it being good luck. One second, let's see. The coyote totem is a good luck symbol for those who need to rely on their wits in order to handle a changing situation and other difficulty. The coyote is here to remind you that you even if you don't feel it you actually have capacity to handle any situation you find yourself in and it is a cutting and clever animal. Seeing a coyote is often a symbol of mental growth. It's a sign that you're beginning to observe your life from other perspective. If you're under stress or you're worrying too much, seeing a coyote is a spiritual message that you need to adjust or evolve. It's good I think. It's been happening a lot since massive deadness which was well before my mother passed away but it has been happening since my mom passed away too. So I guess it's a good thing. Maybe it's not? I don't know. What do you all think? Leave something down below. All right anyway I am catching up on my drawing. I'm waiting for one to dry. The watercolor-y part to dry so I can add some more marks to it. Patrons and supporters get first look at the sketchbook before I put them on social media so if you want to first look at stuff like that go join Patreon. It's very cheap. My Patreon is very cheap anyway and I occasionally send you snail mail or digital downloads or something. I have a bunch of new designs that I need to finish drawing and send some over. Anyway that's it for the minute. I think I feel like there's something outside. I started to go out and get the mail. Got some more sketching done. Talking to my sister Karen about some creative stuff. She saw this really cute TikTok about a scarf that when you roll it up looks like a sushi roll. That shit's cute. I don't need another scarf but that's cute. Anyway yes she's also a creative. She does TikTok. We're all creative. We grew up with aunts on both sides of the family who were creatives. Both of whom went to school for that. One of whom is gone now and grandmothers who did different things. My dad's mom especially. She was a needlework, what I would now call a needlework artist. She did a lot of hand stitching. If it was involving a needle and thread or hooks and yarn or she knew how to do it. Tadding all of it. I don't know how to tat. I wish I had learned. Anyway so Karen yeah she's creative too. She's going to be working on some acrylic pours this afternoon I think. Anyway my knee's feeling okay. I do still have my brace on. I'm going to be wearing it for a while. It doesn't seem to be getting any worse which is usually standard modus operandi for me and as long as it doesn't get worse it's fine. Seems to be getting slightly better. Of course I might just be thinking optimistically but we're going to be babying it for a good while at least a week or so and if it doesn't get better I guess I'll have to go in. I don't want a cortisol shot. I really don't. Anyway all right that's it for the minute. I've got to do my word brain puzzles. Got to keep the old noggin sharp right? So I'm going to do my word brain puzzles while I'm waiting for Bob to get off work and then we can go walking. I think that's how that's going to work. I'll be back. Hey guys I really really really need to see if I can replace the light part of the ceiling fan in this room. It is so yellow and it's an LED light but yeah anyway how are you today? It is 9.38 a.m. Thursday November 4th. Obviously we're upstairs at the art in the art room at the desk behind me the computer is loading a few more videos to the new YouTube channel. I can only do a few a day very few and I reached my limit pretty quickly and badly so I guess that's just going to take me a long time to get all the video out there for you patrons and supporters so sorry. But I do have stuff I want to do up here so I've been doing vision boards all year and I've been doing them in this moleskin notebook. I'm not sure why I chose this notebook to start out with. I have no idea. I am thinking to stop or to do a few more and then stop because I'll show you why. So I already expanded the spine once because and now it looks like this and I have to go tape a few sections because despite me expanding it it's starting to do see that yeah and so I'm going to put some tape in there. I may it's also getting too big to kind of do downstairs and kind of unwieldy so I think at the very least what I'm going to do is go ahead and just do the rest of the vision boards maybe this afternoon and just get it finished and completed and take pictures of them and then share them periodically between now and the end of the year because that just makes sense. I do sort of want it as a reference book to like go and look back at and so and I do like the idea but a year of vision boards I don't know what I was thinking that's a lot of vision boards so anyway but it did get me to use up a lot of bits and pieces so I am also going to because I don't think I'm going to do this journal downstairs anymore sorry the phone is like precariously perched and every time I like move it like shakes sorry. I'm going to take my tools in a femur box that usually lives downstairs and I'm going to sort of clean it out and maybe add a few new things to it but some of the stuff that's in here is for the vision board so I'm going to take those things out and use them up and then replace them with other stuff so I'm going to get going and I'll be back. This is another cloudy rainy day in Oregon welcome to the land of much water many bridges and no direct route anywhere uh anyway yes we're in the car we are headed to the beach it's going to be rainy cloudy stormy do we care it's the beach we don't care so we're going to go spend the weekend at the beach don't have a problem telling you all that because by the time you see this we'll be back um and anyway we're going to go have some fun and hang out at the beach the car is full probably we overpacked but you know that's what happens when we drive instead of fly so anyway we are going everybody it is 11 30 ish am november 6 saturday we are in canon beach Oregon it's just what stormy days at the beach still a good day at the beach hang on i'll show you it is king tide so super high tide so we can't get into those but yeah hold on so do you all hear that it's hail hail hail it is hailing so hard we're outside rag and bone in seaside really cute little um junk shop um i'd recommend going there they have a great selection of stuff but allow yourself some time because you gotta look around anyway we almost got stuck in there because yeah all right i'll be back
