 Wow, everyone, I had to slowly walk into the shot so you guys can see my new beautiful fridge. It's so beautiful. Oh my gosh, wow, love. Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. I'm Kinsey, I hope you guys enjoy today's video, but I'm going to just kind of take you guys around. We're gonna do a nice little cozy day vlog. It's been raining this week, which has really just been quite the mood booster for me. I'm actually listening to mood right now, so I'm thinking in those terms. Also, I'm wearing my The Uncomfortable T-shirt. These are no longer available, but if you guys want to go follow or even donate to The Uncomfortable, I've definitely talked about this on the podcast, but Dom, my best friend, Dom, who's also coming to visit next week by the way, so get excited for those vlogs, but she now has a podcast with your media that's called The Uncomfortable. So you guys, you're gonna listen so good. I'm actually gonna catch up and listen to all the episodes today. I just haven't had a chance. And now we think we're coworkers, so that's fun. Anyways, I really just wanted to start the vlog here with my new fridge. I'm trying to give you guys like more life updates. I could have vlogged yesterday. I've been having lots of problems with the battery for this camera and the charger and them going missing and blah, blah, blah. So far this morning, it's like 11, 20 already. Woke up, went on a long walk with Fitz. We're picking up Coco from surgery this morning. Very short, she had to get a bladder stone removed and we can pick her up today. And I just read that she has to be kennel rested for four weeks. Like, I cannot even, like, besides me taking her on walks and like on the leash and stuff, she has to be in the kennel. Actually, no, that's only for two weeks, which you can't play with anyone, any dogs or anything for four weeks. But like, oh my gosh, I feel so bad for her. Anyway, it's just like true dog mom things. Then I did 12, 3, 30. I cleaned my own bathroom. I've been doing laundry, just all that stuff. I just showered. I've been using Function of Beauty, everything, guys. This is not a deal. This is not sponsored. But you guys can use functionofbeauty.com slash I love you for 20% off your first order. It's like customized stuff. I use their customized like body wash next level and the hair serum. I have it in my hair right now that I use from them is the best product I've ever used in my hair. So like, definitely check it out. For today, for lunch, I think I am gonna cook tonight because I feel like it. But for lunch, Sakura actually sent me a bunch of meals. I didn't even know this was coming and they just sent me like fully three meals for this week which is really exciting. I'm sure you guys are just over the moon excited to see inside the fridge, so I'll show you. But anyways, I have, this is a dinner, okay. Oh, that looks so good. That looks so good. So I try not to mix up the lunches honestly. Ooh, no, why do I, I literally, I think I've touched this dinner. Ooh, this is like a burrito bowl. Oh my gosh, I'm just so excited about this fridge. The lighting right now, it could be better. I'm not gonna lie, but we'll figure that out. Okay, so I also have a baby fennel and artichoke pasta. I'm gonna have to decide what I want. Ooh, and then the summer sunset. I think I'm actually gonna do the pasta. I had velvet taco last night for the first time and it was the best meal I've had in so long. Liz and I went and I was like, literally to Liz the whole time, the whole night I talked about velvet taco and just how it was so incredible. And it's getting to my new go-to place. So good, we went to the one on Henderson, but it's just amazing. So honestly guys, I did not leave my office at all yesterday because I was just so focused until like right before I had to leave for dinner. Ooh, I was just on fire. Yesterday was a productive Monday and I got so much done. So today I'm actually gonna use it as a day to like, goal-set. I need to, first off, I need to work on the feeds for a few things and then also goal-setting and reading. And I'm kind of sort of writing too. Velvet taco, the love of my life. Obsessed with you. Guys, they just brought cocoa out to me. There, it's not a, oh, it's a client-free lobby. Well, I guess she's the client, but I wanna, oh, I'm afraid to look at her incision. First off, I missed you, but her. Oh, God. Oh, gosh. Ooh. Yeah, I wish I wouldn't have looked at that. Ooh, girl. Ooh, girl. Ooh. Why do I feel bad for you? But I'm happy to have her back. It's really gonna be a full-time cocoa care for the next few weeks. Okay, I made it to a Starbucks drive-throw. The drive-throw is the most important part. Guys, the sun is coming out and that's just really ruining my mood. We know that I love a nice, gloomy, rainy day and I'm sad to see it, even though it does look beautiful. I'm so happy to be reunited with the queen cocoa. They honestly gave her back to me, like, kinda gross. Like, even the cone, I'm like, it was kinda weird. I don't know. I mean, I really liked them, but is that like normal? The biggest regret with her surgery is not getting her grooms before the surgery. I meant to do that and it's just like totally, totally still in my mind. So if you guys are going through any bladder stone removals for your dogs, get them groomed first because I doubt she'll probably be able to for the next month and I don't even think I would be able to. I don't know. I mean, she has staples and staples get removed in two weeks. I'll be doing some research and figuring it out. So anyways, we're in the Starbucks drive-throw. It's a really lazy, kinda loungy day and I just felt like Starbucks was the move. Also, I have a free drink. Also, the pumpkin clover is back. Hi, I'm Don Bobbitts. This is the Uncomfortable podcast. It's beautiful. I love looking black voices and cream. I forgot how good this was. Oh my gosh, guys. All right, guys, I'm back home. A lot of you guys have recommended me to get a light therapy lamp. Guys, look at that in the background and then when we get the new fan, wow. And then, oh, I think I forgot to say this, but I'm getting new hardwood throughout the entire house besides those stairs next week. So part of the time that Don is here, we're just gonna go stay with my mom so it's like fine. But anyways, okay. I posted a big Instagram long caption just kind of about how I've been dealing a little bit more heavily with depression and anxiety, whatever, and how I definitely have seasonal depression, but I'm weird in the sense that I have it in the summer. So then I'm like, okay, but I don't want sunlight. I want gloomy. So I don't know if this will actually be good for me, but a lot of you guys have recommended this. So if you guys deal with seasonal depression in the normal way where it's winter or fall, I would recommend this. I don't even like change the settings. Okay, well, I'll let you guys know I'm gonna put it in my office, I think. It wasn't too expensive on Amazon, it was like 30 or $40. I think it would be a great thing for a lot of you. I just don't know if I necessarily need it. But anyways, I'm going to start working. My iPad is literally always dead and I'm just not even gonna bother with charging right now. Just giving you a little update, it is currently 3.54 p.m. Dom. Oh my gosh, not Dom. Well, I was on FaceTime with Dom, literally wearing her shirt as I paused her podcast to answer her FaceTime call. Anyways, we were just talking and also, since we are coworkers now, just brainstorming and talking about how we're gonna have a great week in Texas next week or yeah, next week, oh my gosh. And we're just excited. But anyways, I have been doing a lot of podcasts back end, so this consists of the newsletter, which if you guys haven't joined the newsletter, you need to, which I actually haven't even gotten to that. I planned out the feed. I have been doing a lot of pitches and outreach and just booking and all of that stuff, which actually is very time consuming. And I am planning a podcast episode for tomorrow. Also, I've just missed vlogging so much, so I'm so glad I'm vlogging today. And there may be a vlog week coming as soonish. I have some real reason right now is because I have some videos that need to go up and they're branded, so I'm just waiting for the brand to say yes, essentially. Anyway, it's just been doing some of that stuff. I'm trying to upload a video right now, it's 4 p.m. What time do you guys watch YouTube? What time do you think is the best time to upload? I always upload in the morning because I feel like it does better on my channel. But I'm about to post at 4 p.m. and I guess we'll just see. Still me guys on the couch. I made a salad. This is not sponsored, I've just been eating this food. But it's 4 p.m. right now. And I'm basically gonna have two dinners, but I'm just eating a salad in the meantime. And then Liz is gonna come over and I'm gonna make some dinner. I last night was just like, you know, I could be funny, like I could be a comedian. But the problem is that like only a certain percent of the population understands my humor. And I'm not like, you know, stand up. So this is like obviously a joke, but it's kind of become a thing. So I told her that we have to watch it so that I can prepare for my comedy career. So that's what we're doing. I knew I had computer work to do, but sometimes when you're doing it, like I thought I was gonna have a lot more time to like brainstorm and stuff today. It has really just been adding on and adding on and adding on. It's something else. I'm watching Emma Chamberlain's and James Charles' videos. I really wanna do a video where someone picks out my outfits for the week, but I don't know who I wanna film it with. So. All right guys, another organizational box came in for the fridge. It's definitely wider than I thought. I thought it would only fit like a 12 pack of drinks, but no, it's definitely gonna fit more. So I'll show you guys. Of course, you know. Let me know if you guys hate the fridge portions of these videos. Cause I mean, I'm sure that most of you do. I just don't see how, like I love this stuff, but I'm just not sure if you guys love this stuff. You know what I'm saying? Also like still loving my nails, need to get them redone, which I will this weekend. I'll probably just take off these. I mean, this is only dip. I don't know. I don't, I don't know guys. Well, no, these are acrylics. Sometimes when I get dip, my nails actually get to this length and they're like really healthy, very weird. Anyways, I'm gonna organize this. So that noise, seriously, I know it's cause the doors are open. How do I make the noise stop? It's just too much for me, but anyways. Okay, so listen, this is a little bit big for my fridge. So that's unfortunate and it goes on this. Other than that, it's fine. I do wish it was thinner. Like I thought it was gonna be like this. Do you see what I'm saying? So I could separate my drinks. But at the same time, I do like this and I want another one that's thinner here as well. Cause I wanna put maybe I'll put like kombucha and all those fun drinks here and then I'll put like iced coffee drinks and stuff there. Cause I'd really do want to try out more cause you guys know me and my drinks. I'm basically a drink influencer at this point. Okay, it's currently 6.50 PM. I might use this and see if it makes my lighting better. Looks like I'm telling scary stories that I can't fire. Anyways, this might sound like kind of crazy to a lot of you guys, but I, I recently watched a vlog of Natalie Barbuz and she said that she like asked for you. She said that she posted on like her Instagram story or something. I don't know how I missed this cause I see all of her stuff. I like love her, but I think she like asked her prayer requests or something. Maybe I'm getting this wrong. And she's like, I'm just like praying over you guys and all of that stuff because she hasn't gone through a whole thing like moving from home. If you guys are dealing with having to move home during COVID, I'm talking so much in my hands. Definitely watch her videos right now. They're like really, really great. But anyways, I felt like I should do that today. And I just like, I'm not someone who prays for like long periods of time normally but I like put on worship music and I think I pray for like 30 or 40 minutes straight. And I just like went through the requests and I pretty much did it like individually. And then there were like legit thousands of requests and so many of them, I'm not kidding. Probably 80% of them were anxiety. The rest were breakups and jobs. So like there are thousands of people you guys are not alone. Like all of the things that I'm right there with you with anxiety and depression. All this to say, I mentioned this because of one, I love you guys. You guys have me. You can always DM me. And then two, we are all struggling with so much of the same thing. And I think especially reading that many people talking about anxiety and depression and that many people talking about heartbreak and job loss and finances and stuff like that. I was just like, wow, it's so crazy how so often we feel so alone because these are things that we wouldn't like necessarily say out loud. And like people wouldn't comment this on something either. They're only sending it in to me cause like no one else can see, you know? But basically all that to say, you guys are not alone. You're also not the only person in the world dealing with what you're dealing with. It will get better. It can get better and I'm so sorry. But I hope that's encouraging at least to know that you're not the only one who's having these problems and you're not the only one who's having these thoughts and these struggles. As always, my Facebook group, if you guys wanna like talk to each other, definitely join the Facebook group. We're always constantly talking in there. If you guys are into like more faith-based stuff, I have an entire Patreon. It's the living room. So I do a bunch of faith content and stuff like a podcast channel today. If you're into any of that sort of thing, definitely check it out. But yeah, join the Facebook group. If you guys want more community, I know so many people have made friends in there. People have sort of podcast together in there. Like it's really crazy. So I would definitely recommend that. Anyways, I feel so much better. Like I've expressed a lot recently how I was so down and I feel so good. I think it just took me kinda hitting rock bottom and realizing like this is not a way to live. I was being like almost self-destructive as well. And then just taking a few days and just taking a few days, kind of like even to myself and just feeling so much better and just like getting back to me. So I feel good. Anyways, I actually might be starting on dinner soon because Liz is coming over soonish. All right, I'm starting to cook. I'm just making pasta with tomato cream sauce. I'm not gonna walk you guys through it. I will tell you how I made it. It's super easy, but I am sharing it on story. So you guys can follow my Instagram and go to my cooking highlight if you guys want the like step by step. Guys, this looks bomb. Liz is here. Where's the remote? We have to try this light, okay? Liz, sit right here. This is the light I told you about yesterday. Oh, look, I got that all over my countertops. Okay, tell me. Do you feel happier? Oh, I feel like I'm telling the stories. I like this. Uh-huh. No, a little bit bright. But do you feel like this is bringing you more joy? I think you have to sit for a second. Oh, how you do it? We're like not even walking. We're actually being serious. Well, I think you can just like floss and I'm being here automatically. No, I know, but you're still, I think you're just supposed to put it in front of your face and you just like, you know? I think I feel better with this. Can you switch it? A little bit brighter? I like the dip. Oh, I just hit off. I like that one. That's my favorite. I could see a difference when it was like off and then versus off and out. Yeah, but like the light? Just like the feeling, like when it's dark, it's like dark. It like sounds crazy, but I actually do think I see how this works. Like, you know, I don't know. I'm like just like one of the many things. We will like raise up these. Just one of those things that you need. Just one of those things that you guys need, guys. Of all my Amazon purchases, we're drinking mooch pop in our wine glasses. Just gave her all of her meds, guys. She's so sleepy. All she wants to do is just go in her crate though. Like I don't really want her to be in there that much, but she just walks in there and he's gonna take her out. I just like, I was looking at old videos and photos of him today. I can't believe he's so big. Okay, we're gonna watch Selena. What's it called again? It's Jeff. Oh, yeah, it says jumping on me. Okay, it is now almost 11, Liz just left and making like a nighttime tea I've been having. Like my sleep schedule, I feel like it's just kind of off even though I don't stay up late, but I used to be able to fall asleep, no problem. And now I feel like I'm really wide awake. I'm really just gonna like to know it up for like the longest time. And guys, follow me on there. Everything that I post is linked and it's like so cool to follow other people because it's like following people on Instagram but also everything's linked. So it's better. This is being so loud. I'm back in my room. Imagine how much better my room is gonna look with hardwood floors. I cannot wait. I'm currently reading Without Merit by Colleen Hoover. I just started that. It's my fourth Colleen Hoover book in a row. I've read almost all of them. So here we are. But yeah, I have that. I'm about to drink my tea and hopefully go to bed. I hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog. Just chilling, hanging out at the house with me. Let me know if you guys wanna see them vlogs. I love you guys so much and I'll see you soon. Bye.
