We'll see How busy the restaurants are anyway That's it for the minute. I'm gonna go get some steps in and I'll be back 3 41 p.m. Monday May 9th. I don't think I vlogged yesterday. Well I got wrapped up in computer stuff upstairs working on the secret project and um The weekly posts that went live today and also the ones that are going to be scheduled editing the vlog all those things I made some more spheres. I don't know Is it just me or is this one reminiscent of a cnm any is it just me? Anyway, I've made six of them now I don't know where I'm going with that My therapist my counselor therapist whatever she's asked me that I have no idea. I just know I need to make them I don't know I'm gonna get some I only have three of them that I want to go get some Um small artificial butterflies the little tiny ones and I want to cover one with butterflies, right? I don't know. Anyway, we still have Lily, but she goes home tonight and we're gonna I think bob's got to break at five o'clock and we're gonna take her on a w al k and then he's got a meeting at seven from between like seven to eight and then Rebecca gets home. I think her flight lands at 10 15 and one of us will go get her The other one will probably stay home with dog I'm hoping he's the one that does driving Anyway, I haven't done my sketching yet because yep just been behind but I'm gonna get that done. I'm gonna take this to the trash my favorite brand of coffee for those that don't know Uh, and I'm gonna go check the mail. It might be here maybe I don't know. So we'll see and then I am sketching to do. I have a youtube video I want to listen to while I do some drawing. So Let's get to it. Shall we? I'll be back. It's 10 47 a.m Tuesday may 10th. I think Is it the 10th? Yes, hey, um So yeah, I got the dishes done. I got laundry working. I need to switch the dryer out Uh, Hazel our friendly neighborhood robot vacuum has cleaned the floors downstairs um Shower doors and the master shower aren't closing all the way So we noticed today that there's a little bit of dampness around the baseboards near the shower. So Bob is going we're gonna stop using it for a couple of days. Bob's gonna do a couple of DIY fixes on it We've been down this routine before with wiki showers at the old house Anyway, he knows what to do to fix it and we'll re-cock a few things And um, I ordered a couple parts. It should be in tomorrow Anyway, uh, we do have another shower up here. So we'll use that one um I do think tomorrow when I go out to run errands, I'm gonna buy a whole bunch of more small butterflies I might do all marnox rather than these multicolored ones But I think I'm gonna cover another one of these spheres with butterflies Why I don't know I've got four I've got four left. I don't know. Um Right now, I think it's time to I was watching A youtube channel this morning. I will link her video below. I do like to watch her channel um She cleaned off her desk It was very inspiring. She bought some new pieces to do that with. I'm not gonna do that. I have a closet full of Bins and things. I really don't need to do that. So but I do think I'm gonna clear off the desk We're gonna reorganize and clean some stuff. I have a habit of like she was saying like right here You just stick papers in there And you just you know, it just lives there then forever and you forget what's over there Yeah, all right, so I think we're gonna clear off the desk I also printed out a picture of my great-nephew paxton. He had his preschool Picture so I'm gonna stick that on the fridge Yeah, so cool. Anyway, um, I need a picture of his brother becket too Uh Otherwise, I think it's gonna be a chill day bob has his dentist appointment this afternoon Otherwise, I would probably go out and run Some errands today But I don't want to take a chance that I won't be home with a car when he needs it We are we do have three cars, but we're only really driving one. So anyway It's a thing I know All right, that's it for the minute I'm gonna make some bone broth and clear off my desk and we're gonna work on that and I'll be back Better cleaner neater more organized Hopefully I can still find things We'll see I did get rid of a few things and then when I was putting Things away that were misplaced that should have been downstairs that were up and stuff like that I found some things downstairs to get rid of Because you know one thing leads to another, right? I'm gonna sit and drink my bone broth now Watch a little youtube. I need to stitch These closed because they're still open And we will take it from there. I'll be back. Okay. I think we are in a roll here You can see I labeled everything so I don't forget where I've put things away But I think maybe I should do this drawer There's actually more stuff under the blood pressure cup Just I think I need to clean this out Yeah, okay Hang on that before shot look like and actually find everything that's in here Nothing is piled on top of each other. Yay I also found Some pictures of our daughter from high school And are you ready? I didn't know that was in there. I think this is a micro cassette from our old answering machine At the old house and if i'm not mistaken this has the original recording of my daughter Saying when she's like three We can't come to the phone right now leave a message and we'll call you back Like I think that's what that yeah anyway I'll embarrass the crap out of her if she watches this what she probably won't and I'll play the original voice recording for you Right here. Well a copy of the recording recording right here Pretty sweet, right? All right Um found hold on put some stuff down pile of things I need to take downstairs I also found how many of you old school crafters And organizers are out there who had one of these from Tupperware from back in the day I think I used to have two of them and I don't know where they are the where the other one went But I only have the one now Thankfully, it's the blue because I do think the other one was orange It has this tray in it It's a pretty cool little box. It was in there in the desk or I was using it as a drawer divider Probably because I didn't have anything else. I do still have the lid. It's not cracked. It's actually in great condition Don't know what I'm going to do with it at the moment, but I'm definitely not getting rid of it. It's going in the Horde of organizing bins. Yeah horde in case you haven't seen that. There's a quick shot All right, I'm going to sit now and drink my bone broth. I do think it's probably lunchtime or close Oh, yeah, it's lunchtime. So I'm going to sit and do that I'm very pleased with the way the desk is looking. Look at all that free space Everything's labeled and put away There's not too much clutter. It's great. All right. That's it for the minute It's about 10 18 ish a.m Wednesday May 11th We also we thought had a week in the master shower door So we're using the upstairs shower for a couple of days. I think I don't know at this point of filming if I've said that yet or not I have a couple of things coming in the mail today like corner guards We're going to install and we're going to recalculate everything. We're going out of town for the weekend So we're going to do all that before we leave and it should be good and dry when we get back, but I think I fixed the initial leak and my husband thinks so too. I figured out I think this morning what's wrong with it. So I went ahead and Fixed it while he was in his meeting And he came down and looked at it afterwards and he said good job. I think I do think that was what was wrong So Okay, so our internet fell again It's on and off all day today poor Bob's got meetings with India and I don't know where else today He's gonna have to use his hotspot on his phone and make sure it's charged Don't know what's Wrong. It's not just us. It's the neighborhood, I guess And I can't seem to get a human and affinity on the phone because you know Why would that be a thing? It's so annoying. Oh, and there's all the internet people. I think I see them Yeah Thursday morning May 12th may what is it? Yeah may 12th 9 18 a.m Computer seems to be up and running and I don't hopefully we're not having internet issues today Anyway, I am going to catch up on some watercolor sketches in my journal Before we head to the beach I also have printed my June mood board for RC trio, which I need to cut out and my tickets For the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Portland Museum of Art, which I can't wait to go to we're going to on the 21st That's going to be a lot of fun.
