 Good morning, it's Sunday morning, December 5th, the time is at 10.03 a.m. I almost said September 5th, it's not September, and it's not December, holy cow, it's January. Oh boy. I swear to God, I've had all my coffee. I swear. Sunday night, so we went, I'll head it out for a walk, blah, blah, blah. I have to tell you all earlier, it was so nice, we went to the home improvement expo. Is that what it's called? Anyway, you know, one of those ones where you have all the contractors for landscaping and concrete roof, and since we're new to the area, we thought it would be good to go there and get some contacts, which we did, so we're gonna have some estimates done on some work that we kinda wanna have done in the coming year or two. Anyway, what the nice thing about it was, we met a pair of complete strangers on the way in, they said, are you going to the show? And we said, yeah, they said, good, here's two free tickets. I don't know if they changed their mind, or they had extra tickets, I don't know, but they gave us two tickets. Anyway, we're gonna go for a walk now, we'll be back. Contrary to what I said earlier this morning, when I said it was September and then December, it's actually January, 2020. And we have a few holdouts for Christmas lights. Look at this here. Oh yeah, hang on. Stop doing it. I think she's part like, I don't know, bloodhound or something? What's over here? What's this, what's this, what's this? All she does is that, she just gets, she's crazy, that's why we call her crazy pants. That's all she does, she walks with her nose to the ground, sniffing everything, and eating all the grass and plants, coughing them up, then eating some more. She's crazy. So good morning. It is just before 11 a.m., Monday morning, January 6th, I think. And it's been quite a Monday. So I talked to the lady down at City Hall about my business license for which I never got the renewal. And I realized when I was getting ready to do the end of the year paperwork that my license has expired. So we got that taken care of this morning. And her comment to me was, yeah, there's a whole bunch of people she's finding out, never got their renewal. They never emailed anybody, like yeah. So anyway, I took care of that this morning. Then I found that it looks like we have a small leak around one of the windows. Of course it's in the master bedroom and it's the transom window above the door leading out into the back patio. So that's an issue. And I'm not tall enough to hang plastic on it or anything. So I've got the contractor coming by this afternoon to do that. And hopefully it doesn't get too much worse before he can get here. And of course it's just pouring down rain right now. And it's going to be for like the next five or six days or more. Yeah, so welcome to Monday. Lily's out here wandering around the garage cause of course I had the door open. So yeah, anyway, I'm going to go try to edit the vlog, not stress out about the window too much. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday. I've got to get my hair done tomorrow. Like it's just going to be a week, you know? You can see a building. Yeah, I'll be back. So I know I told y'all about the leaky window. I think I told y'all about the fact that I never got the renewal on my business license. And I didn't know why I didn't get the renewal and I did get a hold of the lady at City Hall. We took care of that. She said a whole bunch of people didn't get it. And don't know why I didn't get an email. Anyway, I also came out here to get some plastic to have ready for the contractor in case you needed it to cover up the window that's leaking so we can get it to dry out and have it not get any more leaky cause it is raining. I do live in Oregon. And there was a brown spot on the floor where my husband's car normally is parked in. Evidently he has an oil leak. Yeah, welcome to Monday. I also had to close out the 2019 books and I found a few mistakes, but I got them corrected. Is Monday over yet? Cause like, yeah, I really like it to be over now. I did get a couple of paper clips done. I'll insert some pictures here. I'm using some of the spillage from acrylic pouring to create some paper clips, including some paint skins and the inside of some of the cups I put the paint in before I do the pouring. And they're turning out pretty interesting, I gotta say. I like the message that I'm seeing in the artwork and I like the imagery. So yeah, I'm good with it. So anyway, yeah, I'm gonna work on my list of things I wanna do tomorrow. Tomorrow's out of the day, out of the day house. Out of the house day, at least for a few hours I'm gonna go get my hair done and I'm gonna run errands, go buy the PO box and stuff like that. So I'm gonna work on my list of places to go, things to do, stuff to get and yeah, maybe make another paper clip. All right, I'll be back. Good morning, everybody. It's Tuesday, I think it's January 7th. I filmed this a couple times because I keep saying June. Anyway, it's just about 10 a.m. And we are obviously in the car. It's an errand day. I have an appointment in about an hour to get my hair done. I'm making a quick stop at Michael's to get some wood, more wood pieces to do more art paper clips with. And then we're gonna head over to the salon and I've got to rent at the grocery store and all that stuff. So hopefully it's not a repeat of yesterday because I forgot to take any pain medication before I left. I forgot to bring my Kindle with me to read while I'm getting my hair done. Like I forgot a lot of stuff this morning. So, okay, it's 1241. We just got out of the hairdresser and I got a few new products from her to try for my hair. The ones I've been using are ones that was recommended to me by my California person. They're hard to get up here and it's time to try something new. So I have that. And I haven't even lunch yet, I'm starving, but I'm gonna go by Fred Meyer on the way home, try to get the rest of my list done before I go home, which I should be able to get all of this. Crush your fingers. I'll be back. Out walking in the rain. Because last time I checked, I'm not the Wicked Witch, I'm not gonna melt. That's the theory anyways. We'll find out if it's true. I'll be back. I would say good morning, but it's afternoon, I'm pretty sure. It's Wednesday, December 8th, I think. Yeah, 8th. I don't know what time it is, it's after lunch. I am chatting with my friends online. Where are we? There we are, they're in the other corner. Filmed a sort of a podcasting for the Arts Play Through Crime and Pain thing, a Facebook group. I'll put the link for the group in the description below. I made four paper clips today that are all drying. I've got a few more blanks. As I'm making the paper clips, I'm taking a few of my spare paper clip parts and found objects and things. And I'm gonna put them in here, put a little basket together and send it to someone. I don't know who yet. I have a little idea in the back of my brain. Someone who likes little pieces of junk and painting scraps and oddball things that they can make art with. I also put a box together for my friend Vicki Brown that I'm gonna send her of things I need to purge for Project Pan 2020. And one of the things I need to do is I need to inventory my Daniel Smith paints and mark on this new set of swatch cards, which colors I actually own and which I don't, because my collection's getting big enough that I've lost track. So that's a thing. I might do that today. I also have something I wanna work with this extra clay at some point before it dries out. That's it all. That's all I can think of at the moment, just trying to keep busy. So I keep my mind off my doctor's appointment on Friday. All right, that's it. I'll be back. Hey guys, it's Wednesday evening and we're out in the darkness and the drizzle walking again. Because evidently that's what we do. Oh, I got her. Got her. Yeah. She's wrapped around my legs. I'm not going anywhere. Like seriously. See that. Anyway, I got a lot of artwork stuff done today. Daughter-cooked dinner. She's very good at that. I'm happy for her to do it as much as she wants while she's living in our house. I'm curious about it. Had a nice recorded conversation with Cindy Utter and Peg Robinson. No grass, Lily. A recorded conversation for art play through chronic pain. Hold on, I gotta grab the dog. All right. Anyway, it's barely a drizzle. I'm not too worried about getting wet. Didn't bring the umbrella. I'm not the wicked witch, I won't melt. But anyway, I recorded a nice conversation with Peg and Cindy. Sort of a podcast type vlog. I was looking for a word. If you want to watch those, we're probably gonna do them on a semi-regular basis. You have to be a member of art play through chronic pain. So that's a Facebook group, I'll link it below. I also have some videos I need to record. I didn't get done today, but I need to do that soon. Like by Wednesday next week-ish. But I got a lot of other stuff done. So anyway, we're gonna go out for a walk, get some exercise in, get some steps in. Cause you know, gotta be as healthy as I can for as long as possible, right? Can't make art if I'm not. All right. Right? I know. Not good art anyways. Unless I'm free to call her, which I'm not. So she made some great art when she was not, well, whole other conversation. All right, I'll be back. Good morning, everybody. It is Thursday morning, January 9th. My little sister, Elizabeth's birthday. Happy birthday, Elizabeth. I'm headed, obviously headed out. I wasn't gonna go out today, but I'm trying really hard to keep really busy. I talk about why over in the chronic pain vlog, which is over in art play through chronic pain. Anyway, I have anxiety issues. So in case for those that don't know. So anyway, it's a high anxiety week. And I had way too much coffee this morning. So that was a thing. Anyway, I need to get out of the house. I need to be busy. I'm already did a little art. I've got laundry working. I'll finish that when I get back. And I'm gonna go mail some boxes and get a few things at the grocery store. And yeah, all that kind of stuff. So not super exciting, but you know, it's overcast today, but it's not rainy. So I'm hoping it stays that way and that we can go walking later, hopefully. Anyway, I'll let you know what happens and I'll be back. Sorry, that's a landscape. There we are. Maintenance truck behind me for the noise. Now walking, it's about two o'clock-ish. It's just after two. By myself, I'm not using GPS. So we'll see if I get lost so far, so good. Decided to get some stuff. Headed home, guess what? I didn't get lost and I didn't have a map on not once. So anyway, I'm gonna go home and have some more water, get some more art done and I'll be back. It's Friday morning, it's 8.36 a.m., January 10th, I think. I've had no coffee because I'm headed to the doctor's office this morning for my annual checkup. Great way to start the day, right? But afterwards, I'm gonna be stopping at Goodwill to drop off some donations and then going to Joanne's, so it's all good. All right, that's it for so far for this morning. I think the whole family is working at home today. So I don't think I'm getting any recording done. I don't know if I'm getting any art done. It's Saturday morning, January 11th, I almost said June. It is 10.19 a.m. and I am upstairs trying to get a few things done before I go out to run errands. Things up here are drying. I'm trying to do the project pan thing and use stuff up. I've almost used up all of my stash of Deco Arts clear pouring top coat, which I do love. Again, I wanna use stuff up. So I'm thinking about doing their triple thick on top of it, maybe water it down, but I'm gonna go online and see where the local places are that have clear pouring top coat. I might need to pick up a jar today, so along with other things. Anyway, that's it for the moment, I'll be back. So I'm finally headed out to go run some errands by myself. It took me over an hour to talk to husband into not coming with me. He kept saying, let me just do one more thing and hang on a second, I'll come with you and we have to be back by one 30 because the game, a football game is gonna be on and I'm like, let me just go. I'll just go, I'll be back. You can stay here, you don't have to worry about missing your game. I am finally headed out of the house. Gonna go to McCann's and then Joanne's and then Fred Meyer. So we are gonna get out and get to it. All right, I'll be back. Hey guys, I think the lighting kind of sucks because it's dark out. There you go. There you go. Hey, thank you dear. We're out for an evening walk in the rain again with Lily. With the pooch. With the pooch, yeah. Anyway, it's been a fun week. It's been an interesting week. I'm glad my doctor's appointment is over with and now I can relax a little bit. I have to wait for the test results before I'm fully relaxed, but you know. Anyway, I got no art done today but hopefully I can get some done tomorrow maybe. I think we're gonna try out the new gym which I'm nervous about a little bit but I'll let you know how it goes in the next vlog. Anyway, don't forget to like, share and subscribe if you have questions, comments or concerns leave them down below and above all, go out and have a great day. Have a great week and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. We'll see you later. Bye guys.
