 It's Sunday. I had to count there for a minute. Sorry. It is late in the day. It's like 415 And I don't have any particular reason for not vlogging before now It's just been a quiet day at home my husband is He's in and out of the garage right now I just heard some weird noises in the front yard and I looked out and it was him outside With the air compressor and he's dismantling some old computers so that we can Dispose of them in the e-waste recycling that we have here in San Jose As part of our purging process we're getting rid of all those things that have just been sort of building up and that we need To get rid of and yeah, they have to go I am Spending the day or next day or two catching up on a few art projects and things I did create a couple of new Etsy listings In the last couple of days one is for It's a bundle make your own sticker or washi tape bundle and it's a collection of 15 Different images that you can layer one on top of the other or print singly that would make good Collage paper good background papers good washi tapes or stickers So and if it's a hit and people like it, I'll do more of them. I'll probably make a video on The the bundle and how you can use it in different ways you can print with it When I have a chance this week we're having some more work done on the house Painter is starting tomorrow painting the outside of the house and our house is stucco So he's got to and I live in earthquake country, so he's got to clock all the cracks in the stucco We've had a few recent tremors, so there's some cracks and then a power wash and paint and there's a little bit of Dry rot around the trim in the garage of the garage door, so he's going to fix that Different guy is going to fix that and all that stuff, so busy, busy And we There's there he is again. Yeah, so he's using the air compressor to blow I guess dirt out of The computers before he takes no part. I'm not exactly sure what he's doing I kept hearing that whistling noise, and I didn't know what it was And I realized it was him Yeah, anyway So we're just catching up on stuff today. It's Sunday. The painter is going to be here early tomorrow morning So I need to be up pretty early so that I'm not answering the door in my pajamas And I've got to go pick up product packaging tomorrow for the stencils and Stuff like that while they're here working. So Yeah anyway I Am not doing anything exciting today. That's the bottom line Anyway, if I do do something exciting, I'll be sure to share. I'll be back. Hey guys. How are you? It is Monday morning May 21st, I think it is 842 in the morning and I've been up for a while. This is my second cup of coffee I might need more coffee or maybe tea or something. Anyway, I've been up since early because I had to get ready early. I have Product packaging to go pick up in Santa Clara this morning, but I'm waiting to leave until after rush hour. Well The worst of our rush hour. We don't really have rush hour. It's rush day because it's all day but it's worse From like seven to nine o'clock in the morning and like three to six o'clock at night But we have traffic all day long because you know San Jose is a pretty big metropolitan city now and yeah So, you know welcome to Santa Clara County So I'm gonna wait because I'm gonna drive all the way across San Jose to Santa Clara And I'm I'm at the other end of San Jose. Yeah, so it's kind of a drive Anyway, all that being said So I've up since early because I've got to do that this morning I also were having the outside of the house painted and some work done outside Our house is stucco and we've had quite a few little earthquakes and tremors lately and every time we have a new one We have a new crack in the stucco. So The house needed painting anyway. So they're here prepping the house today power washing it they're gonna start fixing the cracks and They'll be painting it probably I don't know that they'll start painting today Probably I would guess they can't start painting until tomorrow. That'd be my guess Anyway, they're here brain early this morning taking care of that and getting the paint and yeah, all that jazz And of course the dog is barking because you know, he doesn't like them Well right now he's not barking because they're on the other side of the house as soon as they go over to his dog Run they he starts barking. He doesn't like them Anyway, he's too old to do anything about it Uh, so I'm drinking my coffee and out there it goes. See So I'm drinking my coffee and getting my day started. I I got my Etsy orders wrapped up and ready for shipping So I'll do that while I'm out I've got a lot of daily drawing to catch up on and daily words. I've been answering Question a day every day for the year, but I lost track of my questions When we went to Lake Tahoe like almost four weeks ago. I know right So I got to catch up on the daily drawings. I've got to catch up on the words Or questions and yeah, I've got to do all that. That's like my goal the next couple of days and then I have some filming to do for commitments for august So, um, though that's for this week. Those are my goals for the week Along with one more load of hazardous waste We have e-waste and fluorescent tubes that have got to go But I don't have to do that until friday. The husband's gonna help me get it over there. So yay on me All right. I think that's it for the moment That's a lot Welcome to monday Alrighty traffic should not be too bad The painters have power washed the house now that I think they're running around fixing all the stucco cracks and I think they're gonna let that dry for a bit and then start painting later this afternoon Or tomorrow I don't know what the schedule is. I just know I was told it's gonna take a few days to do I don't know. I only live there. What do I know? So we're gonna go Pick up the product packaging from the printers and go to daiso and I have to go to another store That sells crystals and sage and stuff like that and um, let's go get that done So anyway, I can't do any filming or anything because as soon as they start turning the camera on They start power washing or something and the dog starts barking. So there's just no point. So let's go run some errands I'll be back Wait for the person in front of you to finish their business before you start asking the clerk to do things for you I was finishing my check out chatting with the clerk being friendly and the guy behind me was like, wait Can you go get me and can you do this and get I'm like, wait, it's my turn I just I didn't say that but I felt like saying it I should have said something but I'm not that person. I want to be nice But I would never be that person that wouldn't wait my turn to ask the clerk You know, I forgot something can can you go can somebody go run and get me whatever it is In this case potato salad Anyway I'm gonna go drop off my Etsy order.
