 I would say good morning, but it's 2 30 anyway. It's Monday Hey guys, it's four oh nine four ten something Sunday afternoon August 22nd. I Know I haven't vlogged before now because you know, it's just been a day and to be honest with you We're both exhausted. We haven't done a whole lot, but we're just I could go back to bed. I had coffee. It didn't help Anyway, we ran some errands we needed to do today and got some stuff done around the house We still have to do a few more things, but we're gonna go walking instead. We're so I'm so tempted to be a couch potato I think Bob feels the same way You can't see it, but he's nodding his head in affirmation Yes, so we thought maybe instead of being potatoes, maybe we should go get some exercise The high today is 70 degrees. It's overcast, which I'm okay with it's such a switch from 90 to 100 It's a happy switch. I'm good. All right, we're gonna go get some steps see what we can see and I'll be back also by the way on My dad's dog update love the dog. She's very sweet. She's not house-trained because she's been an outdoor dog her whole life and My joke there would be I don't know that my dad's completely house-trained either so Anyway, we're working on it. I don't really mind I had a daycare business things happen But we still can't find the little koala bear stuffed toy. She hid it somewhere in my house or in the backyard Everybody checked their bags that went home that night including my dad and he checked her crate She does not have I don't know where it is. So it's gonna just become a game Going forward whoever finds it gets an extra piece of cake or something. I don't know she also Had an accident on a throw rug in our house that to be honest three. Yeah, three accidents To be honest was a rug that Bob and I found For the living room it was the best of what we could find at the time and we needed a rug We didn't it wasn't our favorite thing. We did try to clean it couldn't get all of it out Didn't want to go rent into carpet shampoo or Because honestly, it's cheaper and easier to replace the rug which we did So we found something I like much better. It's growing on Bob. He's not he's not sold yet But I like it much better anyway That's what we did this morning and then after that we got some Takeout sandwiches and Yeah, I took all the energy out of us zap this clean so That's different Anybody got a clue about why they would do that would say good morning, but it's 2 30 Anyway, it's Monday August 20 Something I don't know 23rd Anyway, I spent the morning Filming working on some art projects. I think maybe finishing a painting finally that I started before my mom got sick The flowers the water lilies might just need a little bit more contrast But I'm gonna let the marks that are on their dry first before I do that and then I might do Anymore Color a contrast or work on the flowers in fluid acrylics So we'll see what happens. Anyway, I'll put a picture here. You all let me know what you think Yeah, so I'm gonna try to get all the video filmed. It's been a good morning actually My brain is in the art space Which is fine. It's a good space to be in finally So I've been working on that and also doing some work on the Etsy shop Because I got notification that some things needed updating over there They're changing some shipping policies or something and God forbid there should be an easy way to mass edit your listings. I Know with all of you out there who have an Etsy syrup or saying yes, there is there is yeah, I tried that it didn't work I tried that so anyway So I had to edit a whole bunch of and I mean more than 150 listings Okay case you didn't know I'm short So I had to mass edit a bunch of listings manually one at a time so to do that this morning that wasn't fun Everything else has been fun So anyway made a mess a few times stain my fingers a couple times That's how you know it's been a good day. My fingers are blue Alright, and they're clean. That's just stained. I couldn't get it off. All right Anyway back to editing and Posting and sharing with patreon and all that stuff. I'll be back. Okay, so we've got all four videos edited saved and Loading or loaded to the appropriate places Posts have gone out or will go out or will go out to patrons and supporters with the sneak peek that they get in a special location just for them and My car has been scheduled to go in for it's hundred and five thousand mile service so Cool The weekly posts are written and scheduled. Did I say that already? I don't even know what it is Morning everybody it is 11 23 a.m. And it has already been a very kind of strange day it's a august 24th and We started off the morning With the car dealership that my car needs to go into service at Not having any record of the appointment So we made a new appointment was supposedly will get email confirmation, which as of yet I don't have yet. So now I'm getting kind of concerned Then we found a small leak in the upstairs bathroom sink one of the sinks upstairs I think Bob fixed it, but we're keeping an eye on that which meant then I had to go check all the other sink Cuz that's who I think sets who I am. So I did that they all seem to be fine just that one Then our new robot vac that I got for my birthday keeps getting stuck under our bed Because of some cords and cables that were under the bed So I spent some time on my back under the bed with some Velcro strips Moving everything up out of the way so they don't get tangled hazel doesn't try to eat them Yeah, and then one of the teachers. I'm doing a collab with has backed out of the collaboration and So that happened this morning too and there were some calls about that and It's just been like yeah another day of weirdness I don't know my hair is like Yeah, I probably should go check the PO box, but I kind of don't want to right now I don't think I'm going to I might go do it tomorrow. Maybe I don't know. We'll see and Yeah, 20 to 6 540. Oh, that's cute So side lock side lock check. I don't even know. Can you see that? There we go. Uh, anyway 20 to 6 Bob got done with work early. So headed out for a walk We're not super motivated. We're having kind of a blah another blah day. We've had like a week of blah days But we're going anyway. I had a nice long chat with friends and supporters of the YouTube channel and the Facebook art groups And that was really fun. I filmed a nether In the series of new videos that's coming out for you Friends and supporters get a first sneak peek, but you guys will see I'm starting next month I Also finished the campus that I've been working on since before my mom got sick and passed away and I'll put a picture here. I Have gotten asked already before it was done yet. If I was gonna sell it or not Prince probably yes The painting I have no idea. I don't have really good luck with selling paintings But I'm also running out of wall space So there's that So I have no idea. I don't know how to answer that question Make me an offer. That's what I have to say. All right. That's it for now. We're gonna see what we can see I'll be back. It is 11 o'clock 6 a.m Wednesday, August 25th. I just had a meeting about an upcoming class. I'm teaching with Bay of Grub and a few others and When are we teaching it? I don't know when it goes live November or December. I'm not sure When I when I know you'll know. Anyway, I think we're still going through with it but along with a bunch of other stuff and I Had a meeting about that Answer a bunch of text messages I just got another one. That's what the ding was working on Another art project I had to go out into the woods for the Splattering part because it was messy. No, I'm not going to explain it more than that. Stay tuned to my channel for an upcoming video A lot going on. I got one of my mom's friends called to ask how they could donate in her name So I took care of that this morning. I need to check on my dad and Right now my computer is doing it in upgrade because I'm getting tired of it telling me I need to upgrade update I'm getting it tired of it telling me I need to update. Hopefully this update doesn't Mess something up on my computer. I know that's not the word I wanted to use But yeah, it's another weird strange afternoon. I don't know what to say I got up on the ladder and cleaned out the gutters as best as I can being is that I'm short and the tall ladders still not tall enough but At least it drains down the downspout I don't think we're gonna get rain, but I mean, you know When Bob has a chance, I'll get him to get up there and do a better job, but For now, it's clean driveway is clean Smart was done the computers fixed Did I tell you all about the computer camera? I did the iOS update on my computer because I Was having trouble with my webcam I didn't want to Talk nice and play nice with anything on my computer So I thought maybe I needed to update the iOS and maybe I needed to update the computer that camera software, which I did both neither helped Spent most of the day updating things And then thought you know, I wonder if it's the cable. I Know we have a spare It was the cable Anyway, everything's updated now We're gonna go walking. I need some steps. I'll be back It is 9 20 a.m. August 26. Don't get excited. I'm sitting in front of the computer We had some rain overnight last night, so I guess I'm kind of glad I cleaned the gutters out It doesn't look like we're gonna get any more, but yeah, anyway Waiting on our cleaning lady is coming today. She helps me keep the house clean so She's running a little bit late, but she'll be here soon. I also had a call That I made to our contractor because I had some inquiries from him about an art question and Unfortunately his family's little Pomeranian passed away this morning and he wanted to know what the best way would be to get Paw prints from her before they bury her so we went over some ideas for that and I'm so sorry everybody sends some love and hugs to Ruben and his family You know, it's so sad anyway So yeah, so I'm up here in the art room, which is where I usually hang out when let he's here She's running a little bit late, but she'll be here soon. I of course have a table full of stuff I've got to take care of But you know, it's all good. Alright, that's it for the minute. I'll be back. I'll tell you all I did a little bit more rearranging up here on the IKEA pegboard wall Just move things around a bit. I did take these little bins Put them here. I haven't added any more supplies I'm just kind of spreading them out and making things easier to find. I do want to take These here down here these this row of four and these four cubes I Think these four cubes have to stay the same because that's like my reference library I would like to consolidate these four cubes or spread them out up here Which is what I've been trying to do because I do have fabric in the closet That I would kind of like to get out Down here somewhere to make it easier to get to when I'm slow stitching because I forget about what's in the closet So Yeah, it's a thing. I'll be back. I'll say the moving around of the fabric may not be possible And it may have to live in the closet. It Is something that's in the back of my mind So I'll be back. Lysol to go in another weird day. I Found out we had a friend and fellow Masonic brother to my husband pass away From COVID-19 So if y'all don't think it's real, I've got news for you Anyway, so we found out about that today. I set off a sympathy card already We had a meeting with a financial Perse and insurance person regarding our future retirements I've got no artwork done There's that but I have a couple of hours. I think between now and when the kids get here for dinner So I think I'm gonna sit down and try to get yesterday's and today's daily practice is done So I can at least say I've done that because you know Yeah, I'm trying to open the mailbox of my house key.
