 to take a shower. We've been packing and purging some more stuff and filling up the garbage can, finding things in nooks and crannies. We forgot we had. That's what happens when you live in a house for so long. My husband is actually cleaning out his toolbox. When's the last time any of you women out there a new year man to clean out his toolbox? Unless he's like my dad who, yeah, let's just say if I'm obsessive compulsive I get it. I come by it honestly. Yeah, anyway. So yeah, so that's what we have been doing today so far with our day. We're waiting for a business phone call. It is funny though when I was cleaning out some stuff and purging. I have a denim jacket that has lots of like little buttons and stuff on it and I really love little buttons that have certain sayings. I forgot I had this one and for some reason it never made it to the jacket. That looks backwards to me but hopefully that doesn't to you guys and if it does when I look at the video I'll flip it around. But yeah isn't that funny? I do whatever the little voices tell me to do. Yeah. Anyway I think it's pretty funny so I'll leave it out and try to stick it on the jacket. My work table's a disaster. I need to really clean it up. It is kind of on the agenda for today or tomorrow. But I want to get some of the purging then cleaning that we need to do done today and while the husband is home and tomorrow I can spend the day putting laundry away and cleaning up the art room and stuff like that. So anyway that's it for the moment. I'll be back. Hey guys good morning. It's Monday morning July 30th I think. I don't know if I said that already or not. I have no idea. I have no idea. The husband's working from home today and the painter has started painting the guest room. He's there working right now. I'm out running errands. So for some reason we had no green and yellow kitchen scrubby sponges anywhere in the house. How is that possible? I don't know. So we go buy some this morning. I was almost out of facial face soap and am I the only one on the planet that knew that smoke detectors only have a 10-year shelf life? I have no idea. You're supposed to replace the smoke detector every 10 years. I had absolutely no idea. I think one of the ones in our house is from when we bought it in 1993. I'm pretty sure. So yeah so I am headed out to go pick up smoke detectors. Yeah so I did a in half a mile. Exit to the right onto US 101 North. So I did a pre-order on target.com to pick up at a store that had the one I wanted in stock for the price I wanted. So I should just be able to go drive up there and pick it up and go home. And then have lunch and then we have fire extinguishers that are not rechargeable but expired. Yeah so they have to come off the wall and I've got to go down to the hazardous waste place again. Anyway my whole week is gonna be filled with things like that. So I don't know if you're gonna find it interesting or not but there you have it. I'll be back. Do I really want to know why it always smells like poop behind the Goodwill at the donation station? Probably not. Anyway that's done. I can go home and eat lunch now. Guys it is Tuesday July 31st 11 25 a.m. I only know that cuz again I spent the morning trying to get some errands done sorting laundry. The handyman is gonna be in and out today painting the guest bedroom. I was trying to wash the windows outside of the house and I got the front done but I went I went to go around to the backyard I couldn't get the hose sprayer thing off the hose. It's just stuck on there. I don't know I'm gonna have to have the husband to see if he can otherwise I don't know. Because we have that windex stuff you screw on to the end of the hose and then you wash the windows by the way it works like a charm and if I can find a link for it the product I'll put it in the description below for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about. I'm zooming with some people today and chatting with them and catching up on projects. I had to mix up some essential oils for me myself and so I got that done and I started packing some of my diffusers and things there in a bin up that way there we go in the corner right in the upper right hand corner and I have been doing some cleaning and sorting and I worked on a journal page it's not the best page I've ever done let me show you all the way I wanted it to it's not the best page I ever done I don't hate it but yeah it is what it is so there you go. We're also having some iffy connection issues with zoom today and mine thing has frozen and dropped off a couple times so I don't know what that's about. Anyway I am going to eat some lunch and go get the mail in a little bit and that sort of thing and we have more people coming over for estimates today woohoo. Anyway that's it for the moment I'll be back. Good morning everybody it is Wednesday morning August 1st and technically it's still morning it's 1141 a.m. I know I don't really think I've done a whole lot this morning. I don't have any workmen here today. Woohoo the dishes sink it has some dirty dishes in it so I haven't done them I haven't done any laundry I spent most of the morning talking to my friend Mike Deacon who if you don't know if you don't follow him I'm gonna put his YouTube channel in the description below he did post on social media so I feel okay saying so his house got broken into today well like while I was talking to him he walked into his house and realized it had gotten broken into anyway he's a graphic artist by trade as his day job I believe and I was asking him some questions about how to do a new animated intro for one of my an upcoming YouTube series so he did help me with that before he found out his house got broken into anyway I got that done but it took most of the morning I'm not like him he probably could do it in five minutes it took me you know two hours anyway I'm gonna go get some groceries and pick up the mail I really I need to eat some lunch but there's not much here to eat so I'm like starving to death well you know what I mean so I'm gonna do that and then after lunch I guess I'll tack up the dishes I emptied another cabinet it's out here on the buffet of candles and stuff which were there there we are so at some point today I got to decide what's saying and what's going all right I'll be back it is Thursday morning August 2nd 844 a.m. don't get excited I only know what the day discusses my part that's all I got I got lists I got errands to run we're gonna take some hazardous waste recycling in I have another Goodwill donation I've got to go pick up some window cleaner I promised my friend Cindy Utter I would go over to my local Walmart and look for a particular thing for her new puppy she wants a backup toy you know when your pets or kids find a particular toy that they love but they have a habit of chewing it up and destroying it you get backups right am I wrong so anyway I'm gonna go see if they have the little toy for her and if they do I'll get one or two so fun fun fun I do think we're going out to dinner later for my birthday my husband was so sweet he bought got me a card and a big giant bag of pretzel M&M's it's so cute anyway all right so let's go get to getting and let's get our stuff done and yeah let's hit the road come on paperwork trying to clear off some stuff off my desk while I still have a desk and more stuff and I started working on a journal page which you just saw the clip of using some dotting tools playing with some dotting tools I got on Amazon a while back they're a lot of fun some of them are the way I used them today I now also have obviously in case you didn't notice I use the beach theme colors I love the beach live near the beach I wish just catching up on laundry and I've got some stuff to do around the house but nothing earth-shattering no workmen in house yeah husband's working from home today which is nice I think we're gonna just have a kind of eat up some stuff that we've got in the freezer so I'm gonna cook up some chicken tonight chicken and black beans just a quiet chill day nothing so I don't know if it's just the weather or if it's because so many things are on fire in California right now I don't know but the weather's really strange so that's a thing this is how the page turned out I really like it it was super simple and just has the one phrase on there which I love and it's just a study in mark making and movement the way I put the marks on the page I love it just breathe never true our words or said it is Saturday afternoon August 4th I only know that because I looked and it's already 2 30 in the after oh no sorry 1 20 to 2 30 is how many miles to empty I have on my gas tank so it's 1 22 p.m. just after lunch I just finished lunch is working from home today he's on call today for his job and spent the morning doing some more packing and sorting and purging and putting up new smoke detectors I think I mentioned before and if I didn't I meant to we found out recently that smoke detectors have a lifespan a 10-year one where was I and how come I didn't know that one of our smoke detectors was from when we bought the house in 1993 as of today they're all brand-new as of 2018 so anyway that was interesting I might have mentioned it before because I had to go run across town to go buy smoke detectors anyway they're all up now today so we did that and we did some more packing and purging and he's been working and stuff like that I was working on cleaning off more stuff off my desk and at the order that's got to go out I went to go plug my Kindle in last night I read every night before bed and usually it's on my Kindle every now and then I break out an actual bookbook it's usually my Kindle and I went to go charge sorry plug it into charge actually to sleep sleep and my charger was all like like bent over like this I don't know what the heck happened travel stuff so I went and dug that out of course by the time I did that I was wide awake and had to read some more before I could get sleepy again yeah but you out there who suffer from insomnia or our menopausal whole understand exactly what I'm gonna go get another charger I'm gonna go to Staples before I go to the mail place I want to get I need some clip boards just plain clipboards and I also need Kindle charger I want to see if they have one before I order one on Amazon I do have some credit over to Amazon but I'd rather save it and use it for something else and if they have it at Staples I'd rather just get it at Staples so we'll see what happens I've also been doing laundry because you know evidently we wear a lot of clothes and we're dirty people because it seems like we're always have laundry I don't know I don't get it anyway that's it for the moment I'll be back oh
