 my gosh I can't believe it's October it's unbelievable so Jay came home today is I think October 4th I've lost track of the dates Jay came home on Friday so we actually came home earlier and we he's been home you know for what is today I'm filming this this piece on Tuesday Wednesday so I took him to the doctors yesterday he's been doing super good walking around and you know in the house and on the driveway hasn't come out in the backyard yet mainly because of the uneven ground and stuff so it's been it's been interesting right because I'm not yeah I'm not a real good nursemaid maybe I don't know you know I have to give him his space so let him do things on his own and not try to do stuff for him and I have to encourage him to do certain things and not be nagging him so he is doing he's doing really awesome and I have really been reevaluating everything around the house you know trying to make it safe trying to you know even think about more decluttering we've done a lot of decluttering this past year but oh my gosh it's like so many different things to think about especially when you have somebody that has mobility issues right trying to make it so that he can I know traffic is gonna block my voice so that you know he can maneuver with the walker and the cane and all that stuff but it we're making progress huge huge progress yesterday at the he went to his primary because they wanted to follow up after his release from the hospital and from rehab his primary checked him out changed the bandage on his incision because what he did is he had a total hip replacement and then the bone he broke was in his butt in his rear end part of his hip the back part so it hurts him to sit at certain times or to lie you know he has to move around a lot but even that looks everything looks really good like it's really healing it's just gonna take time it's gonna take more time than he probably you know anticipated but over the weekend on Saturday he wanted to go for a ride we went up to Auburn and I'm going to superimpose some photos here so you can see he sat there and he wanted to fly as a drone and I walked all around I went down by the water the leaves have not yet quite turned up there but it is such a beautiful beautiful spot and when the leaves turn it's magnificent over Lake Massabasic so I walked all around and he sat there and he flew the drone and oh my gosh the poor guy felt so bad to him he had a little issue I'll superimpose my little clip here we just hit it whoops whoops it easy yeah so he thinks he can repair it and we ordered some parts off of Amazon so hopefully hopefully he'll be able to repair it and not a workout really good I hope I hope I hope the part one part is coming today another another one came yesterday so hopefully he'll repair it but it just felt so good for him to get out and do something that he enjoyed I mean obviously his passion is golf and he can't golf right I mean that stands to reason so but he loves flying his drone and even though half the time he flies his drone he doesn't edit the footage he's not into editing the footage doing videos doing all that stuff he just likes to fly his drone crazy but anyway so he had a really good day Sunday my son came he fixed a couple of things for me and then after they left we decided we were gonna go up to Newcastle New Hampshire to Great Island Common and we often go there and I would say to visit my father because from that spot we can see where my father where we had put his ashes into the ocean so I just love being in that spot I feel connected to my dad my dad loved that spot too so we went to Great Island Common and took a bunch of pictures and Jay took pictures of me sitting on the rock and one really funny one that he put on his Facebook with me doing a selfie selfie picture but we just had a really nice nice afternoon it was probably too long of an afternoon for him because he did walk around with his cane and then he you know had a long hit to sit car ride to come back it was it was a good afternoon and I think it did him good to get out again you know to go somewhere and do something that he really really liked so so I wish a little ride about it was fun I enjoyed sitting out by the water I love the ocean you know so just watching all the boats go by it's been more boats out there this week and then I've ever seen I know it's like all these years we've been coming up here the amount of boat traffic and it's October 1st it's beautiful and I think everybody's trying to get their last hurrah and exactly before you know what happens I ended up buying compression bags I talked about it and I think in one of my previous videos and I want to see I'm in a superimpose a clip here me actually opening them up I have them on my bed clip isn't all that great so I bought these packing cubes and I bought a set for Jay which I haven't opened yet but a set for me so of course and I have opened these but I haven't packed anything in into it yet but I thought I'm gonna get a large one right here I'll share with you a little bit of a larger one and then a smaller one and and sort of another smaller one and this one I thought was medium-sized but once I opened it up I was like shocked at how big it actually was so I am I'm gonna probably see if I can get all my bathing suits in this and maybe my underwear in this I don't know if this is gonna work or not yeah so I have the two packages the black ones are for Jay which I think will be fine for him and my plan is I'm thinking I'm gonna pack into those cubes clothes that I'm not going to wear right away like you know normally I put my summer clothes away in the house or my bathing suits cuz I'm not gonna use them until you know summer but this year that's gonna be completely different so I want to see if I can put them in the compression who prove cubes and pack them in the motorhome and and have it because we're gonna be in the motorhome for quite a while so have it so that there's not gonna be it's not gonna take up a whole lot of space and also I'm hoping to go on a cruise so having those compression cubes with me if they work out will help because I just want to bring one suitcase I know I'm not making much sense but I'll show you how many bathing suits and you know swim bottoms I have and to see if I can actually get them into the one into the one cube so I got that and it's it's been today actually in between work and meetings after this afternoon I've got my hairdresser's appointment and my hair I'm very very behind on my hair and it's really outgrown and and because it's so thin it just looks horrible when it's like this so I've got my hairdresser's appointment and that'll probably take two hours and I told Jay you have to be you have to just sit tight till I get home type of thing so yeah I'll be curious to see I don't know part of me sometimes things that just shave it all off you know the medication that I'm on and even though I'm wearing the hat which I should show you guys right because I've been doing that I'll superimpose some pictures this is sent to me complimentary from current body I I have been used I time a total total advocate of red light therapy I love it I use it on my face anyways current body always kind enough to send me a complimentary hat for the hair you know that for to stimulate hair growth these devices are quite expensive and I don't know if this is going to work there's no strings I they they didn't say I had to I did ask them for a link and I don't know if they get a coupon code or not anyways they they're not sponsoring me they're not paying for me to do this they didn't say I had to do any of this obviously you know when you get a free product especially a pricey product like that they do want you to talk about their product that's why they're willing to you know to send it and so you know I've been using that but I still feel right now and it's it is way too soon in the medicine for the breast cancer preventive the medicine that I'm on that is one of the side effects is your tail will thin out so my doctor said to I taught I talked to him about the the pill that I'm taking which is for men for the prostate which is the oral version of Rogaine so I'm taking he said he prescribed taking that and I talked to him about their hat he said keep doing it keep doing it because you know we'll see how much of your volume you lose in your hit era but it it's hopefully going to counter some of it may not counter all of it but some of it so yeah I'm probably not making much sense I came out for a little walk Jay is actually teaching today so the cool thing about him last night he had a class and I had said to him you know because he I had to put the two weeks that he was out obviously couldn't teach so we had to make you know arrangements and we have I have another instructor and she took his two weeks so he's going to take the next two weeks to help her out and if you just got to just jump in you know his his brain isn't broke his head isn't broke his hands on broke he can sit yes his bum is broke his hip but you know he can sit and he's got his multiple screens his computer you know he should definitely be able to teach so last night was the first time and I probably should have prepared him for the fact that because he hadn't done it in so long that even though he's sitting it's still super draining right emotionally mentally because you're going to be on you got to engage you got to do a whole lot of stuff I know that because I teach so he was wiped out and then he had another class nine o'clock this morning I know he's going to be wiped out this afternoon but he's doing it and basically has to do it you know so he doesn't have any disability insurance or anything of that nature so you got to get to work when you can work so hopefully hopefully he won't be too tired today and he starts physical therapy next week in the interim he can't drive obviously so my videos will be haphazard when I upload for sure I'm going to try to pack some of my suits into that one packing crew just so you can see because I know there's many people that travel and there's people that travel and they like to just take a carry on right on a plane and I could I could never imagine that a friend of mine Ramona just did Ireland in London and actually Paris as well on just carry on her and her husband and I can't imagine and she said this is what she did she did the packing cubes packed carefully you know and all of that and she got it all in there including whatever you know cosmetics that would Jason I need a whole suitcase of that but he's full of a loaning so I'm going to see what I can do because I'm thinking of it more as storage for now right because I normally try to store stuff in the motorhome for next season and I want to conserve space in the motorhome and I also you know hate to say it but in the in the winter time when we store the motorhome there's always issues with those critters those mice I hate them I freak out so I always try to mice proof everything you know I take all my utensils out and some of you've seen videos in the past when I've done that so I kind of mice proof everything in the motorhome and I want to be able to take my summer stuff put in those packing cubes and even if I have to put in those packing cubes inside another container I it'll be awesome because I don't have to worry about it you know they can be out there because normally wouldn't leave them out there right they can be out there so when Jay and I do a little voyage they'll be there so anyways I know lots of ooms and ooze and not much of anything but like I said I'm gonna go and get my hair cut I just don't know how much she's gonna be able to do with it it's it's outgrown and it's flat and it's hard to manage and this is just my my own hair there's no topper it's just my own wispy wispy hair when I put a topper on it looks a little bit different so I'm gonna do that this afternoon and a number of other things this today got meetings and all that but I'm gonna try to do the bathing suits in the in the bottoms you know the because I wear wraps I wear those Hawaiian rip skirts I love those Hawaiian rip skirts my legs are too fat you know and my bum is too fat I don't want to I'm not gonna stay in a bathing suit exposed but I have a bathing suit and I put a rip skirt over it sometimes I put a short-sleeve t-shirt over it I like to go in the water you know and I like to go into pools and the ocean and stuff like that so I'm not gonna do it in long pants you know so yeah so I've got like I think I ordered three did I get three or four new bathing suits I may have showed you all of them except for the one with the ruffles with ruffles oh my gosh it is so cute it really isn't so cute but anyways I will be back welcome to my blog I have no idea where this is going for the rest of the week but I'm in a superimpose like I said the the adventures we had this weekend with my with my husband so I'll be back in a little bit ready I'm gonna take this one which is not the largest and I have five of my rip skirts and a ton of bathing suits now how much of that I am going to get in here but I'm gonna try go so I'm gonna do I'm gonna use the big bag because I have a lot of bathing suits stuff that I want to bring so I've got five Hawaiian rip skirts I'm gonna layer them in here this is what they pretty well say to do is to just kind of layer your stuff in here so I'm putting it in here and they say to try to do it loose right so I've got that now I'm gonna just layer this is a bathing suit cover-up one of my favorites and I have two like this so I'm gonna go like that put them in here and now I'm gonna go for the bathing suits get a black one I probably have way too many bathing suits my husband is thinking who happens to be my cameraman got a purple one got a blue one and this is the one I was talking about with the ruffles isn't that cute Che gorgeous he could care put that in there you've seen this these are all the ones I got from cup she so when you go on a cruise or you go into one climate you need to have the attire right and not that I'm gonna parade around in my bathing suits without a cover-up I do want to bring them so put this little cover up in there and this cover up in there what do you think I'm gonna be able to close this hopefully hopefully so they say I probably could get something else in here maybe I'll do one of these tops one of these bathing suit tops they say that you zip it up and it should be loose supposedly you're supposed to close it but I'm gonna go ahead and leave a little bit of an ear pocket here because I have to zip this up this is the part that's gonna do the compression you're able to see this in here one two three cover ups five Hawaiian ripsorts we're difficult than I anticipated it to be but closed now close I have all this hanging out here and I suppose to zip that closed and all the air is supposed to compress it out and conceivably this is supposed to work conceivably conceptually I think it will work it just might be a bit more difficult with just one person oh wow I had relations five six bathing suits five rip skirts three bathing suit cover ups and one black wrap super cool so that was a little bit more difficult than I than I thought it was gonna be but anyways here is here's the reason I ended up putting my bathing suits and so I have six bathing suits five rip skirts I think I have three bathing suit cover ups and two wraps in here so but I needed to use another one for the rest of my bathing suit stuff so in this medium one I have lounge pants three pairs of like those kind of like lounge pants I have I hate to even admit it I have like three four other cover ups I wear a lot of bathing suits but I wear cover ups all the time so I'm always wearing a cover up I you know I may have my upper part of my bathing suit exposed and just wear a rip skirt I love going in the water I you know I love the summer you guys know that right and and yeah so very careful with sunblock and all that but with our plans I wanted to be able to pack up my summer gear that I'm not gonna probably touch until January maybe February but I wanted to put them in a you know in a way so that I could have them in these packing cubes and I compressed the air and I'm gonna put this in the motorhome closet with downy sheets so those stupid critters mice you know I hate them they freak me out just in case a mice come because in the you know when you when you're yeah I mean you're in a camper in RV right there's always mice issues so I'm gonna put those in the closet and then I know at least at this point in time that everything I need for pool or beach is in there I also put in there like they're like skirts but they're not skirts they get pants underneath them and I know what you call them not that I'm a golfer or anything but you can ride a bike with them but I also can do fitness walking with them if I want because that's what I did when I went camping I would go I pulled that on and it's like underneath the skirt part is like pants so your legs don't rub together I know too much information but so you can walk around in those and those are like super super cool I think so of those two bags is my summer stuff I'm gonna carry it out to the motorhome I'm gonna stick it in my closet I'm gonna put downy sheets in it and then I still have three smaller compressions one is gonna just be my bras and undies and the other one might be you know socks or something something like that so then the only thing I'd have to really worry about is clothes like I show you guys that dress I bought I think I did I bought it in Old Navy so stuff like that I have like this dress two dresses actually that I'll pack and then my jeans and then just some short sleeve tops so yeah I'm feeling pretty well all together when it comes to that my hairdresser I bought this K18 it's something to do with bonding and super super good for helping strengthening your hair I mean I absolutely love you know when my hair when she does my hair it feels so soft it feels so good I went to the hairdresser's this weekend and because my hair is thinning the way it is because of the medication I'm trying everything I can to counter effect the medication effects because it's a balancing game right I mean yes I have wigs and I have toppers and I have you know I have alternate hair that I can wear and that's I'm more fortunate in many ways because I have a ton of alternate hair but I want to try to preserve my bio hair as much as I can so that's in a broker piece off already just from touching it crazy so this K18 stuff it's very very pricey this whole treatment she told me that after I wash my hair I'm just gonna put a little at you know go out towel dry put a little bit in my palm like just a pea size and put right rub my hands together molyfied or whatever and then put it in my wet hair and then for four minutes after I massage it into my head wet hair I can't do anything to my head for four minutes and after that I can style as as I really like so I'm gonna see how that works for me and my hair I did I buy this a lot you can get this off Amazon you can get this anywhere but I really really like the big the sexy hair big powder play I've used this for many many years so when you have a hat on a helmet like if you're riding a bike right and take a helmet off your hair is all flat and it looks gross even if you have good hair it looks gross so I always had something like this in my bag at work anywhere because then I would take this powder and I would just powder it into my hair and it would make my hair come alive and get fluffy and big and I could style it and I could walk around for the rest of the afternoon and not feel feel freaky so anyways I couldn't I bought this at TJ max at Marshall's and I couldn't find any there in a while so when I was at the hairdressers this week I picked this up because I have a very little left of the one I've been using and really like this a lot so yeah so Jay's been home we it's it's Saturday when I'm filming the wrapping up of this and it's it's been a good week for him you know he starts his official therapy on Monday night so but all week for the last two to three days he's been walking with just a cane instead of the walker before that he was just using the cane if I took him out like for the rides over the weekend but and then using the walker the rest of the time so he's he's been doing super good with with the cane and I'm really excited about Monday night because when he starts his therapy I'm going to drop him off at the therapy place and then the gym I go to my plant fitness that I go to is down the street so I'm going to go to the gym I have not been to the gym since his surgery because just because I've been when he was in the hospital you know for all that time is just running back and forth to the hospital trying to function doing work teach all that stuff and now he's been home and I've been just busy busy busy so I'm hoping once he he gets on to a physical therapy system on Monday I go back to the gym because I was doing really good with my fitness you know you know losing some weight not a whole lot nothing to shake a stick at but losing some weight getting stronger and that's my goal was trying to get stronger and when winter comes for me anyways that's when it gets dark at 4 30 and pitch black by 5 you can't see anything all you want to do is curl on the couch and go to sleep so normally winter is really rough seasonal here gets cold and dry and did to do so this winter will be different though but anyway so wanted to show you the results of those bags like I said about two packs one is in black and that's for Jay's clothes and the other one is the purple is going to be mine and I think getting my summer stuff because I'm not going to need it I'm not going to do my endings until shortly maybe you know before December or something but my summer stuff my bathing suits and all the stuff not going to need that so I can safely put that out in the outfit and I think I might just do that in a little bit so anyways yeah that's my update that's my blog thank you guys for being so super supportive even though I've been missing an action it seems like I I do appreciate I do see your comments sometimes I'm on my phone and I can't answer right away then it takes me a while to get back on my laptop sometimes I'm teaching a class and then by the time I get done the class I'm like brain dead and I don't get on but I I'm really looking forward to that have two kind of very interesting real estate transactions and I'm going to tell you if anyone ever wants to hear more about real estate I'll tell you right now the market is totally astronomically insane I've been doing this the 38 years and I've never experienced a real estate market like this it's it's totally wacky wacky wacky and it doesn't help sometimes when you have an agent on one end of a transaction that's a difficult and I went through a very difficult in the transaction fell apart but I went through a very very difficult partial transaction with a very difficult agent and it makes me appreciate ethical agents and agents that do what they're supposed to do so much it all the more and it makes me appreciate when I teach agents new agents especially right they just got licensed and they're trying to learn the business and I teach them and stress the ethics because that is so super important and yeah you might not be able to see it you might not be able to recognize an ethical agent but man you get caught up in a trap with somebody that is only out for the buck for themselves holy Kamoli it can be a nightmare yeah it is a nightmare so anyways I'm gonna get this uploaded onto my laptop I don't know how long this whole video is I'm sure it's gonna be wicked long but I'm hoping you guys all watch it and thank you all so
