 10, 24 so yeah still morning. Cleaning up the aftermath of being sick from blood donation. Thankfully my shoes came clean. I'm not going to go into any more detail and gross you all out but I've got to go check the car next. Thankfully most of it made it outside the car. We are still babysitting Lily until tomorrow and she's here in her crate. Uh grandpa's outside cleaning up her leavings and uh yeah I'm feeling much better. Not 100% but much much much better compared to Friday for sure. Here she comes. Bean come say hi to your peeps. Say hi to your peeps. Yes I know. So anyway we are going to get our day started. I am feeling up to it I think. So we're going to go to the grocery store. We need groceries desperately and things like that. So first I want to get my shoes and car clean and so they can dry. Thankfully it's warm enough I can just wear flip flops today so that works. And um yeah that's it for the moment. I'll be back. Say hello. You want to say hello? Good morning. Good morning everybody. It is Monday morning March 25th 9 27 a.m. Don't get excited. Hello computer. Um I'm still puppy sitting. You hear her foot her little footprints there. She likes being up here and looking out the window but that's the only thing she likes about being in the art room because the floor is hard and it you know she's you know a special little princess and she doesn't like to lay down on the hard floor. Anyway she's going home at about lunch time today and I love her dearly but then maybe I'll be able to get some stuff done. Between the blood donation gone wrong and having Lily it's been hard to get stuff done so I'll be able to get a few things done anyway. We'll see. I did move a couple of paintings around that were over in this little window area. I had oops where are they? I had these two stacked on top of each other. I moved them up a bit and then side by side they were interfering with the chair and the and the cart that's over here. I was really worried about them getting banged into so this way they're both still over there and I may be moving a few of these here too in a bit and when it happens I'll explain why but yeah I might be moving some of those around so anyway it's a constant process right. I've done my daily postings this morning although it is Monday I don't have to do as many. My friend Cindy Etter helps me out and I do have lots of video to film but I'm not doing it with her here because it's distracting. I'm gonna go back downstairs for a bit and have some water and sit and I guess watch YouTube because it's she really just wants you to sit down and like be next to her yeah so it's a thing. She's a very needy dog when her parents are around so anyway we'll see what we can get done it won't be much all right I'll be so the bug people have been by already to spray Lily has gone home and we won't actually see that her or the kids for a couple of weeks they are taking a break well deserved one so I hope they have a great time and they're taking the dog with them so I think it's going to be fun for them anyway I was chatting with some friends but then I lost my connection so I thought well you know what I'm going to use the opportunity to go check the PO box glad I did because I was expecting some design team mail which I got so now guys I can send the swaps out hopefully by the time you anybody from the design team if you even watch the vlog by the time you see this it's already hopefully in the mail so I'm going to head back home now check the other mail box and then go back upstairs and redo the chat with the desktop which is connected to the ethernet and less wishy washy than the wi-fi so you know that's a thing all right I'll be back all right so that's done jiggly keys that's done and everything's in the mail the funny story here for the vlog is that my sweet male lady who I she must know everybody in town she just you know calls me by name when you go to the desk but anyway it's sort of like an episode of cheers that dates me I know but you know google it if you're young because as per usual all the electronics in the kitchen I'll have a different time I spent the morning I spent a good part of the morning chapping with Apple chatting with Apple computer this morning I had some weird things going on with my desktop some for lack of a better term ghost files that showed up in if you're a mac user they showed up in under all my files and the file name was there but the file had no content and it had no directory so it wasn't it actually anywhere except all my files it had nothing in it it wouldn't let me delete it or drag and drop it or anything it was very weird and the apple people weren't sure what was going on either we finally figured out how to boot up my computer in safe mode leave it there for a minute we didn't do anything then we restarted the computer in normal mode and by and magically poof the files were gone but it took two days a bunch of phone calls to just yeah so anyway got it fixed so anyway otherwise things are good with the computer it was very weird and I was chatting with some friends and just you know catching up on this and that I do need to sort laundry and start some laundry today but first I'm going to go run and see if the mail's there we didn't get any yesterday I don't know if we're getting getting any today we may not have mail but they're also doing construction like on the street right outside our little community so I don't know if maybe the mailman just can't get down here I don't know so I'm going to go check on it I'll be back so evidently the state of California cannot figure out that despite the fact that I've told them so I no longer live in or do business in the state of California yeah so I got a letter from the business licensing people something about a statewide compliance and outreach program that's great it's all well and good they're trying to make sure that all the businesses are licensed and run properly wonderful I no longer live in or do business in the state of California happened since September of last year so I have called and told you quite a number of times so yeah fun I also got my copy of the new merch t-shirt in be a rainbow it turned out really nice they are available through my etsy shop so if you'd like one and you can get different kind of shirts and other merchandise with be a rainbow and other merch logos and artwork over at red bubble so I'll put some links in the description below I also have some stuff at society six and spoon flower you can get fabric stuff like that so anyway be a rainbow I can't wait to wear it after my chat ended with my friends I sort of got lost in a book to be honest it's either a book or art I get when I start doing it I get lost in it so it happened to you or is it just me please tell me it's not just me so normally sorry for the noise in the background by the way that's my washing machine normally I try to go walk around the neighborhood um and especially on Mondays after the garbage people come they tend to leave bits and pieces behind this week because of what happened on Friday and the whole recovery process over the weekend I'm running a little behind so it's Wednesday and I'm just now getting to doing my neighborhood garbage run so I'm gonna put on a sweatshirt grab some gloves and a plastic bag and let's go see what I can find I don't think I was quick enough with the camera but Bambi's out there waiting to eat for me to leave so he can eat so or he just ate the bowl one of the other I know so I'll be back do you see the deer it's just standing there watching me because I've filled the bowl up yeah right there did you see that I was right they were waiting for me to come inside so they could eat it's a good thing good morning it is Thursday morning March crap I just knew this is second ago because I looked it up 28th I think holy cow um it's about 20 before 10 a.m and I am headed out to go run a couple quick errands I've got to go to the grocery store for one and I need to go deposit a check so I'm gonna go get that done early or rather than later um Portland is no different than California was in that regard I like to get my more my errands done in the morning rather than the afternoon we don't have nearly as much traffic as we did in the San Francisco Bay Area but we do have some and I'd rather not fight with people trying to get home from work so it's a thing I am wearing my new merch shirt today whoop there we go here rainbow let's get in the closet shall we so this is my new merch shirt this I like my shirts baggy this is a 2x um I don't I don't like things to fit tight and I like them to be long um so anyway so this is that's what size this is a ladies 2x we do have a few different um styles of shirts on the Etsy store and you can also get this logo printed on different things on redbubble so I'll link those in the description below but yeah love it so I'm gonna wear it out today it's 44 degrees outside so I did throw a little sweatshirt on I'm hot in the house I'm hot and boiling outside it might be fine but we'll see anyway I'm gonna go get my errands done and I'll be back well that was an interesting way to start this morning's errands small tiny spider in the car when I opened the door uh didn't it doesn't freak me out um like some people get freaked out about stuff but I will say that I did make sure to catch it and use a big paper towel and before I got in the car because again not that I'm scared of them or anything but a fun fact I'm allergic to arachnid venom I have been since I was a little kid and it hasn't gotten better over the years in fact I think it's only gotten worse so yeah that's a thing anyway let's see if we can go to the grocery store and get there and back unscathed and when I get back I need to feed Bambi because his bowl is empty again so all right I'll be back one video edited a bunch more to go and I need to remember to bring my rag from down here in my daily drawing bag upstairs because it's dirty and disgusting and put it in the laundry bin up there and grab another one the next time I come downstairs and put it in the so let's so I those of you who have a two-story house already know this probably but so I have a habit of things I know I want to remember to bring upstairs if it's small I put it right here if it's bigger I put it on the stairs and then the next time I go up I just grab it and bring it with me so I'm going to do that first then I'm going to go check the mail I'll be back what do youtubers love who make art making art do any things that are creative filming for you all what do we hate paperwork and editing video that's what I'm doing today need some food at least when he's not eating the deer corn I think he's eating the bird food it is Saturday morning March 30th I think we have a well dark again hang on we have a lunch date today um we're gonna meet some people for lunch that helped us with our move and we want to thank them so we're taking them out for lunch finally they're both very busy people but it's taken forever to get a date with the two of them together um so we're gonna do that today I'm going to link both of them in the description below really great people super helpful very professional nice and nice kind people um Sarah roughner who was our realtor um it helped us by the house and also Joel Martin who was the man who helped us with our finances so I would definitely recommend them if you're making a move to the Portland area give them a call I'll link their information websites or whatever in the description below um so anyway we're gonna go meet them for lunch and then we've got to run a couple errands we may go by the nature preserve that's near here there's a I think it's the toalatin river preserve um that's like less than two miles from the house I think or less than three miles it's really close anyway we're gonna go by there and take a look and see what we can see first I'm gonna check the deer corn and we're gonna see if Bambi has food hang on I know it's empty so let's get some food in there for them and yes I have makeup on and looked halfway decent today big surprise I've moved the bowl again so now it's not on the tree stump anymore which technically is county property it's now on the boulder which is our property so nobody can say anything about me feeding the deer and the HOA doesn't care so yeah plus you get a good view from the driveway I think it's a good thing we just had to reschedule lunch again it's a thing so they're both very very very busy people and it seems like it's just been super busy super difficult to get together with them so hopefully maybe we're gonna try the happy hour instead of lunch sometime this next week hopefully we'll see what happens but anyway so we're gonna rethink our day and check on the status of our tax return and take care of that this morning and then we've got to go out and get some stuff for the car and maybe still go by the nature preserve and yeah I don't know what else anyway I'll be back nice like two mile hike yep house nursery big house nursery big house nursery I don't know anyway we like that place that's what I call big owl big owl yeah um as we were leaving the refuge there's a really bad accident right outside the refuge on the highway and yeah so I hope that nobody's seriously injured but it looked pretty bad but yeah there was a lot of emergency services yes um anyway ambulance police fire couple fire trucks like there was a lot there was a truck in the in the median that looked like it rolled over at least two or three times yeah at yeah so anyway crossing our fingers for whoever was involved um so we're gonna go over to the nursery now and pick up a few things and then we're gonna finally go home so we'll be back guys I almost forgot to close out the vlog we got back from the hike and to be honest we've just plopped on the cake too much yeah we're a little out of shape just
