We're doing We're doing a dollar tree a dollar tree challenge And headed out to go Get my stuff for said challenge and film it so I Did my shopping for the Dollar dollar store challenge, of course, I almost doubled what our allotted ten dollars was but I bought a few things for myself I bought some things I can use as substrates and other artwork I'm going to talk about it In the dollar store challenge video about what I bought and do like a haul clip and talk about Pull out ten things. I'm going to use in that video, but yeah, I went over Anyway, I'm going to hit Tuesday morning in Marshall's before I leave and I'll be back I would say good morning, but I think it's after lunch. I got no idea what time it is just that it's Monday January night 20th, I think I was gonna say the 19th. I know it's Martin Luther King Day Whatever day that is Anyway, I'm headed out for a walk On my own. I'm not gonna use GPS. We'll see if I get lost I have a load of children's books that I got at the thrift store. I want to Drop them off in the little book house by Creek behind me In the little book house over by the park while I'm out So I didn't bring Lily or anything because I can't hold on to the books and the dog So she's in the crate at home with mommy And if mommy and Paulius want they can take her out for a walk later. I do have my brace on my knee so and I'm all Lotioned up with the doTERRA's deep blue a.k.a. Ben gay rub, so it's all good So we're gonna go get some steps in and then get back to the art room because I had Video to edit this morning, which is done The weeks of writing for the different groups, which is done Something else, which I can't remember right now I want to film at least a couple of videos this afternoon and then I have laundry to do when all of that stuff, so Bob is gone for the week in California for work So I got plenty of time to do stuff. The kids are Independent grown adults, so they don't need me to do things for them It's all good. All right, I'll be back garbage truck goes around the corner Anyway, there's the little book house that's over here by the King City Community Park and I love to go Buy a few children's books at the thrift store and then I bring them over here and I put them in the little book house I love to do that I do it every month or so whenever I have a chance and Yesterday while football was playing which my daughter and I were totally not interested in watching it all We went thrifting and one of the things I did was a bought a bunch of books Including one a couple of really big ones and one of them is a Winnie the Pooh book So I'm gonna finish my walk and hopefully don't get lost I'll be spending a vlog in public and have people look at you like you're insane So yeah, that's a thing I'll be thinking I almost went the wrong way. I think I almost turned one street too soon Hopefully We'll find out in a minute. I almost turned down the wrong street I knew immediately when I got a few steps around the corner that that wasn't the right way. All right, I'll be back Hey guys, it is Tuesday, I almost said Wednesday. It's Tuesday, January 21st 6.59 p.m. I forgot to vlog this morning This morning just happened really quickly. I had a 9 a.m. recording For art joy of sharing I had to do we do it sort of podcast style over zoom So we did that for our joy of sharing for art through chronic pain Facebook group if you want to know more about the face chronic pain Facebook group. I do have a playlist here on YouTube and You can join request to join the group I'll put a link for the group in the description below Anyway, we did that at 9 a.m. and right before that happened. I had business messages and things I had to take care of and Etsy orders that came in I had to wrap up really quick and Everything happened really quick And then we did the recording and then we did some more chatting for a little bit And when the mail came in some more inventory for the Etsy store came in which I ended up packaging Which led to me finally after all these years Doing a proper inventory spreadsheet on the computer that I could print and then do a physical inventory of I've done Inventory on the store before but I didn't have like a spreadsheet with names of different products on it. I Would just do something on note paper. I know right. I know better anyway, we have spreadsheets now and I did do the Inventory and then I updated listings in the Etsy shop And I actually did pull a few products that have never sold that have been in there since almost day one And I think I'm going to just donate them or something. I've got a bag in the front room So, yeah, I Didn't get much art done. I am gonna do I've got my daily drying bag right here. I'm gonna get my drawing done Maybe do a watercolor. I've got Lily Bean Over here on the other side and then we've got the fireplace going And my daughter is upstairs talking to somebody on the phone probably polyus. I don't know So yeah, quite quite day at the house, it's cold outside, but we're bundled up and we're good That's it for the moment. I have a dark an appointment with a knee doctor tomorrow and I have to go mail said Etsy orders that I wrapped up earlier and Stuff like that. So I will be back with you all tomorrow. Good morning. It is Wednesday morning February 22nd, I think I think so anyway, it's 9 12 a.m I am headed over to the doctor's office to have my knee looked at finally. I Don't really want to go. It's probably gonna cost me more money than it's worth But I probably should find out exactly what's going on with my knee so Then I got an Etsy orders to mail and I don't know I might stop at Joanne's on the way home We'll see. All right. That's it for the moment. I'll be back. So chronic pain chat That was fun not So it looks like I have to be back at three o'clock today. It's 1044 now So I'm gonna go mail the Etsy orders and then go home and have lunch maybe get one video filmed They think I have a possible meniscus tear and I need left knee So I need to be back at three o'clock for an MRI To diagnose what's wrong and then I'm probably gonna opt for conservative treatment of physical therapy in a shot At least to start with versus surgery. I'm not a fan of having surgery. So See what happens. All right, I'll be back. Okay, so I was right. I Didn't get any yard done. I think I mentioned that earlier So because I have to go back out to get my MRI Yeah, I'm not getting anything creative done not gonna be able to get state 230 ish. It's grand stormy out I'm headed to go get my MRI, but I'm guessing by the time I get out. It's gonna be pretty dark out I probably won't get any steps in I probably I Don't know if I'm gonna get much art done The daughter might go out later. So I might try to get some stuff filmed while she's out I have one page that's sort of Pre-prepped and ready to go. So I might try to at least get one video filmed today Anyway, let's go get the MRI done and get that over with all right now I might just stop a Tuesday morning on the way back and then that's it. I think I'll be back doctor visits tests and x-rays About my knee Not the way I pictured spending my Wednesday. I Had other things I wanted to do. I don't think I'm getting any of them done. Dang it. Hey guys It's the first day evening What time is it? I don't even know 5 11 p.m January Something I have been filming all day today and I got all of February videos filmed. I just need to edit them So they're all done So starting tomorrow and through the weekend and however long it takes I'll sit and do all the editing Hopefully the camera shots make sense. I was in frame All of that stuff so I don't have to refilm anything But I guess we'll find out Last night I Newly discovered to me a new I think she's a New Zealand artist Lorna Crane I will link her website in the description below. She makes her own paint brushes out of found objects There are a couple of videos of her on YouTube. I will link what I can find Totally fascinating has me thinking about it now And even if I don't use them to actually paint with and I use them for decoration. I'm fascinated So that might be the next thing I work on that. I'm obsessed about I Haven't made me paper clips in like a week and it's just driving me crazy But I needed to get a bunch of other stuff done. I have The results from my MRI yesterday on my knee I definitely have torn meniscus So I'm going in tomorrow morning for a quarter zone shot Yay me, right? And then probably I'm gonna have to have physical therapy. So we'll see how that goes So I was getting all the filming done today that I could but I got it all done my Whole list Well, there's one more thing that needs needs highlighting. Hang on Okay My whole list is highlighted. Yay All right, and I used a bunch of the new stencils, so I need to actually hang these up now I have another stack That just came in That I need to share with everybody there's a quick sneak peek of like the one on top But there's a bunch of new ones. I think eight new ones So I need to do that, but it's not doesn't have to be done right now I've got some Amazon stuff that came in Don't know what that is, you know, probably tank tops and hand warmers for my husband because he has a circulation issue Anyway, and I don't know if you can hear but it's raining outside the other car So It's been a crazy day. It's gonna be a crazy week I really literally just went to the knee doctor yesterday and I had X-rays and an MRI right away. They didn't Make me wait. I got the results are ready first thing this morning like they're on it If I was in California, you know, I would still be waiting for the MRI. It would still take two weeks Yep, Polly uses home. So anyway, that's it for today. I will let you know how tomorrow goes Cross your fingers. All right. I'll be morning. It's Friday, January 24th. It's 737 a.m Don't get excited. I looked it up already Obviously, I'm in the car. I'm on my way to the knee doctor I got a lot of really good filming done yesterday I can't wait to start on making a few of the handmade paint brushes even if they end up being decoration They look really cool I wish I could afford a trip to New Zealand and take a class with this artist that I spoke of yesterday Lorna Crane Love to take a class with her to make brushes, but she's in New Zealand So that's probably not happening anyway, um I didn't plan on doing anything else today Because I don't know how many feel after getting my knee injected. So I may just be downstairs on the couch all day. I may go up I may go upstairs and work in the art room. We'll see but let's get over to the doctors and get the shots Over with I'll be back. Why don't I suddenly smell a mixture of poop and fried food? That can't be normal Okay, all done. So the shot wasn't too bad. I think the um numbing hurt more than anything that really hurt the numbing um It felt like somebody was jabbing you with a bunch of pins. I forgot how how much the numbing hurts anyway, um I talked to the PA the physician's assistant and Told her, you know, I pretty it was pretty positive about the cortisone We'll see what happens, but I've had it before with good results. So we'll see I have my first physical therapy appointment next week Which is here in the same building. So I'm just gonna go there I'm gonna head home now finish my coffee have some breakfast and yeah, put the knee up and let it sit I'm supposed to not do anything too strenuous for the next 24 hours. And then I'm good It'll fully kick in in two to 14 days So Cross your fingers. I'll be back Eat something like a 15 on Friday night And I am in the cell phone waiting area again At portland international airport waiting to pick somebody up This time it is um bob. He's come fred aka fred He's coming home from a work trip to california today tonight. So I am waiting for him to let me know he's landed and where he's at and I'll swing around and pick him up I think I have a little time. I think I have Maybe a good bit of time. It's probably a good thing. I brought something to read because I think his flight was delayed So that's a thing But I've got my e-reader. So I'm good anyway My knee is Feeling different Kind of numb ish maybe a little sore Feels weird. It doesn't hurt anymore I'm taking it easy on it. No, you know, strenuous activity. She said so It was up and down the stairs a couple of times chatting with friends in the art room and getting a few things done But not too much and definitely no walking or anything. So But hopefully it's feeling okay and I can go get some walking down tomorrow We'll see Anyway, that's it for the evening. I will be back in the morning.
