 11 or so on Sunday, July. Bob has gone off to the hardware store because he's working on the pond today. He sees a couple places that need sealing because we have a crack. So he's been out here digging things up and moving things around. Yeah, anyway. That's a thing. I am working on catching up my sketches today. That's my primary thing today. I do want to also clean out my bathroom cabinet. I'm waiting for something to come in from Amazon to do that with. And meanwhile, my veggie garden, my impromptu veggie garden is like going insane. So I guess that's a good thing. I need to water things today. It's just going nuts. But again, it's not a bad thing. All right, that's it for the minute. I am going to go back in the house and see if my one sketch is dry and then do another one and take it from there. I'll be back. Not only did I get all the sketching done, I got my bathroom cabinet clean and I straightened up Bob's underneath the sink cabinet too. You guys, one of my drawers was so bad I couldn't get it open hardly and when I could get it open, I had no idea it was in there. It was just so messy. So it went from complete chaos to control, control chaos and I was a lot of products down there. I do use them. I also, though, found some products that I either no longer use, make my skin itch and make me break out in a rash that I didn't even know I still had. So they're out of here. It feels good to have everything clean. All right. On top of everything else I got done today, I got the first layer of paint on the new canvas on the easel. I do have an idea for this one and I've got a million ideas for some other ones, but one at a time. I'm only one person, so anyway, we're going to work on this one. I mixed up a couple custom colors and we're had some and so we're going to use those and we're going to see where it goes from here. I'm kind of excited. All right, I'll be back. Hey guys, it is Monday morning, June 11th, July 11th, 10.30 a.m. And I've already got the air conditioner on as you can probably hear. It's going to be in the upper 90s at least today. So yeah, it's already warm upstairs. Before it got too hot, I remembered what that other thing was yesterday that I couldn't for the life of me remember I wanted to do. It was clean out the car, the center console and the shopping bags in the back were just a hot mess to put it kindly. So I went through and found a bag of stuff that either didn't belong or was trash. And I got that done before it got too hot outside. I also already watered the vegetables in the back. And I just downloaded all the vlog clips for last week to the desktop. So I'm going to do some editing this morning. I'm going to go make my brome broth first so I can sip up that while I'm editing. And then I have to do posts. I do have a list today. I have to do posts, social media posts. And I need to refill all the hand soap things in the house. So hopefully we have more hand soap because yeah, that was a thing last night. All right. And by the way, I remembered about cleaning out the car sometime between 11 o'clock and midnight last night because yeah, I'll be back. Hey y'all, have I mentioned lately that the worst part of doing YouTube is editing? It's not the actual editing process. Fun fact, it's having to listen to myself speak on to the next thing, I guess. Hey guys, it is Tuesday, June 12th. It's just about noon straight up yesterday is only like one of a handful of times we've had the new air conditioner on since it was installed last October because I live in Oregon. It doesn't usually get that hot. Anyway, it started making this really loud noise like the bearings are going out already. But again, it's a brand new unit and it's under warranty. So I made some calls first thing this morning before I had all my coffee to try to get them to come out and take care of that. There's a big drop of sap on my car window, brand new large drop of tree sap because you know, I live next to all the trees. And anyway, I'm exhausted because the loud noise woke us up in the middle of the night and neither of us could get back to sleep. Well, I should say the loud noise woke Bob up. I was finally sound asleep. He woke me up and then I couldn't get back to sleep. So we're both tired. I am going to go over to Dollar Tree. I want to see about picking up a couple of things to make panty marks. And I'm not really feeling up to going anywhere else. I'm not really feeling the need. At some point I'm going to have to go over to Dick Blick or order some stuff because I am finally running out of a couple of artist grade acrylic paints and a couple of specific colors. I need paints gray and I need like a sepia fluid acrylic. Colors don't have to be golden or anything in particular, but golden does have a transparent shading gray that I really enjoy and I happen to be completely out. I am not going to go get that today, but I do need to go get it at some point, so that's a thing. I'm going to just do Dollar Tree today and we'll take it from there. One thing at a time, right? Yeah, that's what you do when you're tired. All right. This is one of those days where it's just so hot. We can't turn on the air conditioner. I'm tired because I didn't sleep well last night and I just don't want to do anything. But we're going to fill up the water glass and go upstairs anyway. I'll be back. Good morning everybody. It's 11.09 a.m. on Wednesday, July 13th, I think. And yes, I want to say January again. Holy cow. Anyway, I had a counseling appointment this morning. I did a little bit more work on this and I'm not sure until it dries, but I think it might be done. So, and for sale, so if you want it, say something, message me. You can private message me. My email address and all that stuff is down below. Anyway, I think now to decompress for my counseling session, I'm going to go out and take my sketchbook around the neighborhood and do some drawings. Maybe go down to the park, but we'll see. I'll be back. It only took about 45 minutes or so and I got a nice decompressing, sketching walk in. So we're going to head back now. Go a different way. I don't know. I might be inspired to do a few more, but I've got one double page spread done and I'm good with it. All right. That felt good. I'll be back. You guys, I just saw something I've never seen before. I didn't get it on camera because I didn't get the camera out fast enough, but I just saw a neighborhood cat chase a butterfly, grab some butterfly by a wing and drag it into the backyard. Do cats eat butterflies or is it just playing with it? We have the white butterflies out and about in the neighborhood right now. I don't know what kind they are, but anyway, there was no mistaking it for what it was because its wings were white, but I've never seen a cat drag a, chase a butterfly, jump on top of it, grab it in its mouth by the wing. Okay. All right. Let's go home and have some lunch. I'll be back. Okay. Yes. We're going out for our evening walk. And as I'm getting ready to turn the camera on, he says we're going up the hill. He's going to torture me. He's a goofball. Anyway, it's about 80 degrees out, but it's not too bad. I think it's going to be a good walk. We took a couple of precautions last night from the house getting too hot and got some windows open while it was cool out and all of that. And then when it started to get hot today, we closed them. That worked really well. All things that you kind of try to do when you don't have air conditioning. Anyway. All right. Yeah. And it works, but it's louder than the old one. Yeah. Anyway, something's wrong with it. All right. We're going to go see what we can see. Walk a slightly different way than I did earlier. And hopefully I'll get some good neighborhood pictures, but we'll find out. I'll be back. It is 11, 11 a.m. Thursday, July 14th. Don't be excited. The computer's on. I looked. Hello. Took my time getting up this morning. Not mad about it. I just, you know, wasn't no hurry. I do think I'm going to start on this today. I'm going to probably do the sky. I like to work from the background forward when I paint, so meaning that when I'm finally finishing the painting and adding those final touches, I don't like to have to do anything to the background of the painting. I like it to be already finished if possible. So we're going to work on that this morning. I will probably film some of it and then we'll go have bone broth and lunch. I think that's how that's going to work. I'll be back. I forgot to tell you all, the painting I just finished, I'll put the picture here, sold it already. I only had it posted that it was officially finished for like five minutes. I don't know what I'm doing right, but I'm going to try to keep doing it. So fun fact, most of my paintings I have ever done or ever do are for sale. Just make me an offer. You see something or have seen something on my page with my social media is somewhere ask what's the worst that can happen. I say no, okay, ask about something else. I have so many paintings, we don't have enough walls to hang them on and I have a big house. So anyway, I'll be back. We have these fun friends that come on the daily. There's one of them that comes with her babies. I don't know if this is the one or not. I'm sure babies, if it is, her babies are with her. Anyway, I don't know what they're after in my yard or my neighbor's yards, but they're here frequently. I might put a bowl of water out for them. Anyway, good morning. We're going to start off the morning by mixing up a custom fluid acrylic color. I want something that's more of a Naples yellow, muted yellow. Um, all I have is like a bright yellow in my stash. What color is it? Primary yellow and spray yellow. Anyway, so I'm going to work on that this morning and probably put a little bit of a hint of a sunrise or sunset here in the valley between the two mountains because I'm feeling that this morning and what I've been painting lately is all about painting what I feel. So although the inspiration photo doesn't have that. Cool. Anyway, so we're going to do that. And then I don't know, am I going to do chores, do some thrifting? I mean, paint more? I don't know. We'll see, though. I'll be back. Left is the yellow I started with and then the right is the yellow we have, which is what I wanted. So let's get to it, shall we? Good morning, everybody. It is Saturday morning, July 16th, I think it's about eight thirty a.m. We found out last night from the children that we need to keep an eye on their house this week, check their mail and stuff like that, because they're going out of town for Paulius's dad's birthday and they kind of forgot that was happening this week. So we only found out last night anyway. So we have to do that this week. In the meanwhile, the furnace guy is here today. He said there is something funny with the air conditioner is making a noise. It shouldn't. He's checking it out right now. I was worried that it would be like your car making a noise. And when you take it to the mechanic, it doesn't make it the noise. And I was worried we would have that whole scenario this morning, but that didn't happen. But that didn't happen. Thank goodness. Anyway, I can't get dressed or anything until he's gone, because our bathroom faces that way. And you can see in the windows anyway. So I'm going to be up here working in the art room in my pajamas, because why not? And after he's done figuring out what's up and hopefully fixing it, we'll get our day started. And by the way, it's July, but it's raining outside. Yeah, welcome to Oregon land of much water. I'll be back Saturday afternoon. We had lunch, we got everything put away. Anyway, we're going to go, obviously we're out for a walk now, because it was either that or taken out. I ate lunch and just wanted to sleep. Should we cross the street? Probably. All the walking. Anyway, we have a raccoon friend, I think I said already, who's been by her house in the last 24 hours, like a dozen times. I don't know what the deal is, but we did put water out for him or her and might put a little corn out. I'm not sure what the deal is, but something's going on with the raccoon, because we don't usually see them on our driveway that much. So anyway, we're going to go get some steps in first. I'll be back. He's just going in circles. I don't know. Dude, you're going to get hit by a car. Hey, everywhere in the world, you could play of hazards issues. But where you live, would the traffic on the street stop for a mouse? Hours did. We had to tell him, keep going, he's fine. All right, let's continue with our wise. So it is 8 16 p.m. Still Saturday, where we've been we did a few things around the house, but we've been just watching movies and stuff this afternoon, which, you know, I don't have a problem with that. I obviously, as you can see, have my reading glasses on and I'm looking at the list of movies on Disney Plus because we have a bunch of those streaming things, you know, and instead of reading it properly with the glasses on, I was reading my husband titles of movies from their little thumbnails. And I read it as Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Chickens. It's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, not chickens. So anyway, I don't think that's what we're watching. I think we might watch the Ghostbusters Afterlife or Black Widow or I don't know. What are you all doing tonight to close out your week for Saturday night? Anyway, whatever it is, I hope you're having a good one. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay creative. If you have questions, comments or concerns, leave them down below.
