 Sunday around here for a little bit. I'm doing some more sorting and going through things. Obviously at my desk is a mess still from doing the rainbow heart. Water color. I do have another watercolor I want to do today. Today is Sunday so the live broadcast of intervals of sanity is today and I am home and not otherwise occupied so I will be on the live broadcast and if you don't know what the intervals of sanity is it's another YouTube channel I do with a group of friends of mine where we just have art chats about life and art and crack each other up sometimes it's inappropriate anyway. So go over there and check it out. I'll put the link for the channel in the description below. There are some recordings of the past broadcast you can watch to get an idea. The one on menopause is pretty funny. Had my dad cracking up even anyway. My husband is out right now putting gas in his car getting ready for work tomorrow. He's working this crazy shift of 12 hour days like seven or eight days in a row then he gets like four days off and then he has to do it again until the end of August. It's a crazy insane shift so he's actually home working for working from home today and I think he's going to be working from home a couple other days this week. I don't know if tomorrow is one of them or not but yeah we'll find out. Anyway I do have laundry and stuff like that to do but I am going to try to do some cleaning over here and back there behind me today. So that's priority anyway. Alright I'll be back. Hey guys it's Monday morning August 13th 948 a.m. I only know that because I'm sitting here. That's all right that's the only reason I know. I'm just you know I'm having a slow go this morning. I've had a couple nights of not too much sleep so the bags under my eyes are extra big and puffy or at least they seem so to me. I need to wrap up an Etsy order this morning and I have some artwork on the table behind me. I'd like to try to work on while I still have some art stuff out and I have a stack of magazines out in the other room I need to go through but nothing urgent and exciting today. I do need to go to the grocery store and do laundry, normal chores, normal life stuff but nothing exciting I don't think. I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet while I can before the next round of chaos and craziness happens. I think that's a good use of my time. Yeah all right that's it for the moment. We weren't done sorting yet so there was nothing in my box but that's okay. I can get it tomorrow. That works for me. See if I can make it out of the parking lot without anybody being a jerk. I kind of doubt it but I never know. Miracles do happen occasionally. Hey guys it is Tuesday morning August 14th. My iPads right there that's how I know that. It is 7 53 a.m. I've been up since just after five. The husband got up early to go to work and it woke me up and I couldn't go back to sleep so yeah. I need to get my button gear because I need to actually get off the sofa number one and I need to do some laundry and I need to go to the grocery store and stuff like that. I have a couple things around the house that I need to do as far as packing and purging are concerned. I kind of needed the husband to help me drag something out to the curb over the weekend and then we ran at a time or he was distracted. He was actually working over the weekend so he actually didn't have time to help me so I'm gonna have to see if I can drag it out there by myself. That's gonna be interesting and yeah so I guess the first thing I should do is go get out of my pajamas so I can get started. Yeah all right I'll be back. Hey guys it is 9 16 in the morning it's still Tuesday. I'm showered and dressed. I got the old backyard bar out to the curb because we're giving it away and I got the rest of the paneling from my husband's office that we pulled off broken up and in the trash can so that's done. I've had two cups of coffee this morning and I'd kind of like a third but I haven't had anything yet for breakfast and I kind of need to eat something but there isn't really much to eat in the house so we're gonna go to the grocery store and then I'll come home and have some breakfast and have some more coffee and then try to tackle something else on the list. I have a couple of bigger things I need to do like taking cabinets off the walls, things that I can't do by myself. They're way way way too big so I have to wait for the husband to be home or somebody to come help me and I also need to clear off some shelves and things too so in all garage kind of stuff so he and I just need to spend a day out in the garage working on the garage maybe Sunday so that we can get all that done and what else. I have a couple of art projects I want to work on. It's just really hard to be motivated for when you get the rest of your houses in chaos to be honest but I do have a couple things I want to do and I have my sketching stuff out by the sofa so I might just do it out there. One of them is a watercolor but I need to start with a sketch so I may just take my watercolor pencils I bought and the bigger pad of paper and take it all out to the sofa and work on it out there later while I'm watching my soap opera. For those who don't know huge general hospital fan have been since it was in black and white with Jesse as the head nurse for those of you who watch general hospital watched it with my mom growing up. Anyway it's just after rush hour not that we have a rush hour we have a rush day in San Jose it's just a bit worse during a rush hour than it is the rest of the day but it's just after 9 so it shouldn't be too bad and I'm only going like two miles down the road sometimes it's bad though I need to try to get over but this person doesn't want to let me because you know why would they do that or that person I told you all it's rush hour people who relate to work or try to get to work I'm just trying to go to the grocery store all right that's it for the moment I'll be back trying to find a good way to hold the phone hey guys it is still Tuesday it's 5 o 5 p.m. and I was just sitting here relaxing after having cleaned out the hall medicine cabinet and emptying it and holy crap how does so much junk accumulate in one small place so quick quickly I guess it wasn't quickly it's been over a few years but it seems like I just cleaned that cabinet out though not that long ago anyway I filled up a garbage bag I am sharing and listening I should say re listening to a video by one of my favorite channels called deliberately creative all one word and I'll link the channel and this particular video in the description below and this is called be a mare gold dump your toxic friends chat and creative painting and it's about reading from her description here because she describes it super well and I just don't although I love the sentiments behind the video she talks about gathering those mare golds companions that helped us help us grow in kind and in a kind and compassionate way mare golds are helpful plants helpful flowers in the garden for those of you who garden you already know that if you have a say a rose garden a lot of times they plant mare golds around the roses it helps keep the aphids and things away they're very nurturing plants and she talks about them in relationship to people who nurture you and help you grow and in a kind and compassionate way and dumping those toxic friends the ones who always throw shade or poison in the ground like walnut trees stunting your creative growth I just really really love this video and she really talks about and explains what she means by this in the video and I do recommend that you guys all if you have a minute go play it I'll link it the particular video in the description below while she's talking about it she's doing a really interesting mare gold inspired acrylic pour that's really interesting and she does a lot of acrylic pouring and she does a really good job with it now I of course can't get to anything right now to practice with any acrylic pouring which sucks there you go mm-hmm anyway so that's what I'm doing today what are you doing I'll be back good morning everybody it is Thursday morning what day is it look at the computer to find out August 15th 9 0 8 a.m. anyway I've already done all my day to the postings and writings and I did a little bit of cleaning and I got the clean laundry to the dryer it's only been sitting in there two days oops and anyway husband's working from home he's in his office across the hall and yeah I'm gonna go out in a little bit and go get my hair done because it's way past time to get those white roots covered up we have a wedding to go to on Friday so yeah anyway I need to go pick up a laundry basket one that we have I guess I don't really need to pick it up right now one one of ours is the handles broken it's still usable I'm really you know laundry baskets are one of those things that I interrupted because my daughter called to check in and make sure you know everything was cool here anyway laundry baskets are one of those things I can live with like the handles and stuff falling off as long as it still holds dirty clothes it doesn't matter so I think I'm gonna wait actually to go replace that basket I don't really feel it going to the store anyway I do have an Etsy order that needs to ship and I need to go to the post office and get the mail of course and stuff like that so I'll probably do that after I get my hair done on the way home because it should be sorted by then not lot going on today it should be a fairly quiet day I hope I'm waiting for some paperwork and stuff to come through for different things and so and I need to update the website it's gonna take a few hours I don't know if I'm gonna do it today or tomorrow I might just wait and do it tomorrow and then we have a super early morning flight on Friday to fly up to Portland for my niece's wedding and we'll be staying overnight up there and then coming home Saturday so anyway I'll film what I can when I can okay so it is time to head over to the hair place and get those roots taken care of on the way back I'll get the mail I am heading to my favorite place in San Jose to get my hair done if you all live in the area and are looking for a great person to do your hair I recommend glamour hair lounge Lisa is fabulous she's the owner operator and she is really really really good so anyway I would definitely recommend her I will link her information in the description below and we're gonna head over there and have her do my hair it might be the last time before we move those that don't know we are moving by the first week of September so anyway it's coming up quickly but I'm gonna go get my hair done one last time there is a special vlog series coming out soon about the move I hope you all find interesting so watch for that at the end of this month in the meantime let's go get those gray roots covered up I'll be back okay so the hairs are all done and now we're gonna go get the mail and then I can eat lunch I'm starving it is 1248 just before one o'clock actually we got done with my hair much sooner than I expected it so and I almost just missed my turn I can blame it on that but the truth is I get lost a lot even in my own neighborhood so moving is gonna be fun yeah I'll have to bring you on some getting lost adventures with me when I do move anyway let's go get the mail hopefully it's been sorted and then we'll go home and have lunch waiting on one more document to come through today for business some business and cross your fingers it comes through and I have a watercolor painting I want to maybe work on and of course the never-ending pile of laundry to do because it's just the bottomless pit of dirty laundry so there's that all right I'll be back I'm talking to the camera the phone for like five minutes and it wasn't on that's a second time today I've done that I really do think I need more caffeine I don't know if I should be drinking more coffee maybe I'll just make some tea there's a lot going on that's all I can say so I've spent the morning in a flurry of phone calls and text messages and scanning documents and sending them off and answering questions and yeah it's just a lot so we're leaving at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow to go north for my niece's wedding and sign some documents and take care of some business in the morning before we go to the wedding in the meantime I've got to pick up a couple things I'm running out of or don't have sample sizes of or empty bottles to put things in for the trip tomorrow I need to remember to pack some makeup because I probably won't be putting any on before we leave I'll probably like get dressed at my parents house for the wedding and put some makeup on there just because we're leaving at a crazy early hour in the morning and if I am gonna like get dressed for the wedding before we leave and the wedding's not till 6 o'clock at night yeah I'm gonna have to redo my makeup anyway might as well just leave it off so I'm out running errands I'm gonna head over to Ulta one of the things I need is the scalp treatment for my hair I've been using Nioxin series 2 or system 2 for a while now a couple months between being menopausal some of my medications and stress my hair's been thinning a bit so I started taking biotin a while ago which helped and then my sister said try this Nioxin and it really helped a lot too in fact my hair seems like it's a little bit curlier than it was before this all started so I'm not sure what that is I'm not doing anything different except the Nioxin so I guess that's a good thing anyway I found out they carry Nioxin at Ulta and my sister gets the Nioxin for me generally she carries a cosmetology license but rather than get having her get it and ship it to me since I'm going on a trip tomorrow I need to bring some with me so I'm gonna just run over to Ulta and get some more of what I need they do have a small less than two ounce bottle of the scalp treatment that I can bring with me so I'm gonna go pick some of that up and try to do it now before we get too close to the lunch hour we're already approaching 11 o'clock and yeah did I say already what time it was and day it is Thursday August something 16th I think well that's always fun when they call and like then hang up that was a phone call so anyway I think it's August 16th maybe yes it is because tomorrow's the 17th I know that because of our appointment to take care of the business stuff before we go to the wedding we're also gonna try to visit my daughter who is living in Hillsborough organ and her boyfriend and the puppy Lily my sister Elizabeth will be there so it's gonna be fun so it's a wedding family gathering also get to see bandit who's been with my parents for a couple weeks so that'll be good too I miss the fat old cuss yeah my mom was funny she says you know your dog is fat right I go yeah she says I'm gonna put him on a diet I said okay anyway so I'm gonna go get my parents done I'm gonna go run over to Ulta try not to buy anything I don't need and then go home and gather some more stuff for the overnight trip tomorrow that's the plan anyway I don't know if I'm gonna get any art done today yeah I have no idea I do need to update the website I might try to work on that this
