 All right, so obviously I've got makeup on, hair's done, Fred always looks good, but you know. Anyway, we are headed. I'm trying to look good. Yeah. We are headed to go pick up some donuts and maybe coffee and then we are going to go get the kids and then we're gonna head up to Washington State to my niece and her husband's house. Our great-nephew Beckett is turning one today, so we're gonna go up there to celebrate his birthday. Anyway, it's gonna be a good day, I think. Plus, I think Fred's happy because the sun in law is driving and we don't have to drive. So, you know, there's that. Morning, I just woke up. It's about 10 minutes after seven and snowed outside. Hey everybody, so obviously I'm in the car. Most of the snow is melted. It's warming up a bit outside, a bit. Anyway, sorry, it looks like our neighbors household are moving out, so. Anyway, I got word my prescriptions are both ready to pick up, so I'm gonna go do that today. Since I am done with all the computer work this morning, things are loaded and scheduled where they need to be, both posts and video, and so that's all taken care of. The end of this week's gonna be kind of busy. We've got cleaning ladies coming and we're celebrating Easter with my dad early and then we're doing stuff on Saturday with the family and then stuff on Sunday with the family. Like it's just gonna be busy the end of the week. So, I have an idea for another art for therapy video that I'm gonna use for myself. I'm gonna film it, at least part of it. Anyway, while I'm setting up for that, I get a call from the county health department wanting to know if I or anyone in my household needs to be or has been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Has it come to that? Or we're calling all the residents that we have phone numbers for? That's just really weird. So, I filmed an art therapy video and things are drying and then I touched up the edges of this painting because it's done and I've signed it back but it's drying. Like I just, I have no room up here. I might need to just go downstairs and do some drying down there. Camera's charging. I'm having issues with the battery on the camera but anyway, I think I'm gonna go just downstairs and do some drying. I need to go get the mail because I never did get yesterday's mail. So, I think I'm gonna take care of some stuff downstairs because I've got like a bunch of progress. Pro, blah, blah, blah. Projects in process up here. One more I need to do but no place to do it. So, I think it's just gonna have to wait until at least tomorrow. Because that should be dry in a couple of hours if not sooner. So, worst case scenario, I can do it late today but probably just tomorrow. Anyway, good morning everybody. It's about 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday. April, something. Picked it up with the wrong hay. Those that don't know since I had rotator cuff surgery like a decade ago. I didn't quite ever get all the feeling back in my left hand and I occasionally drop things. In the last two days, I've broken two of my Starbucks 24 ounce tumblers. My two favorite ones, I've broken both of them. I know, right? So, because I've dropped them. So anyway, I need to go out and run some errands today, try to find some new tumblers, among other things. This painting is ready and dry. So, I think I'm gonna throw a coat of matte varnish on it before I leave. That way it should be dry when I get back and I can move it off the table and get started on the next artsy trio video. I've already spent some time answering questions on the internet and YouTube and that kind of thing and replying to comments. I've had all my coffee in case you can't tell. It's a wet outside, but it's not snowing. Bonus. Are we sure it's April? Anyway. So, we got the car filled up with gas and a few surprises this morning in that regard. So, first of all, gas went down about 30 cents a gallon which surprised me. It was under $60 to fill my car up. It was only, I swear it was for 69 or 479 the last time we got gas, anyway. Then also, you know, there's arguments at the pump between customers and attendants about the price of gas. I mean, you know, the attendants don't have anything to do with how much gas is. There's no point yelling at them about how much the price of gas is. Anyway, are we sure it's not a full moon because it's just been a weird week? All right, I'll be back. Outside. We're in the middle of the grocery store. What the hell? Okay, so it really was hail. I just took a couple of still thoughts. We're getting ready to go home. So, you not only have that, that looks very ominous, but this is my car. You see that? I mean, it's already melting, but isn't it April? Isn't it supposed to be spring? What the hell? All right, I'm gonna go home before the weather changes again. Morning. It is 815 a.m. Thursday, April 14th. Yeah, 14th. Had to count, I know. Anyway, our friend and cleaning lady, Letty, should be by soon. Sometime within the next hour. Let's do that for us, which is probably good. Issue is my allergies. Well, there are always an issue, but anyway, I've been having some issue in. I'm wanting to cough all the time. It's not good. Anyway, hey guys, as you can see from a little bit of video I shot, we had some issue with some more hail. Isn't it supposed to be spring somewhere? Not okay. While that was happening, I had a three or four hour long conversation, lost track at the time. That's how good a conversation it was with my dear friend, Leslie McGrath. Leslie, it was so great to talk to you. It was great to catch up. I was showing her these that are all dry, video coming up soon. We talked about these, video coming up soon. And I have my messy journal or journal, which has some really messy background papers in it from Paint Swipes. I have some ideas for that video coming up soon. I know, I keep saying that. Turn this off. Make sure everything's off up here. Made a really good day. I didn't get tons of art done, but I got yesterday's daily drawings done and today's early this morning because I didn't do them last night. Got caught up with other stuff and today has just been a day where I'm waiting around for the cleaning lady and the gardener and workman and all kinds of stuff. So I think now I'm going, Bob is out at his Masonic meeting. And I think now I am just going to go catch up on my daily brain games, put a couple things back where they should be because you know, the cleaning lady loved her dearly but she puts things back away where she thinks they should be. So anyway, I'm going to take care of that. And I'll be back. Friday, April 14th, I think, hold on. Sorry, April 15th, tax day. So Bob is off mailing said taxes and getting the oil changed in the Subaru and he's got to stop by the European deli to pick up a couple things for the daughter and doing chores, going to catch up on YouTube. The family's coming over tonight for early Easter dinner. And all the kids and my dad, I don't think we're got a whole lot of other stuff going on today. I think mostly it's like chores this morning and then dad coming over. And tomorrow we're going to, I think cars for coffee, although it's gonna be cold in the morning and then going to late breakfast, early lunch with dad and then he's gonna go home. And then I think Sunday we're doing Lithuanian Easter at my daughter's house, a daughter in son-in-law's house. So he's from Lithuania for those that don't know. It's technically still morning. It is 11 27, Saturday, April 16th. And dad and Bob are downstairs in the garage that we're working on the barracuda and I've been upstairs doing some printing. So this is a copy on computer paper of a self-portrait I did in one of my sketchbooks that I printed on vellum to use for an art therapy art piece. And so, but yeah, that's gonna need to be darker but I wanted a guideline and I didn't wanna have to redraw my face. And I kind of liked the way this one turned out. So that's okay. I have a guide now from the printer and so I can go over it with some pencil and pen and use it. You'll see in a future video. Not gonna explain more than that. Anyway, I also had to order some more doTERRA because I forgot a couple of things. So I took care of that. I need some rub for my leg. And anyway, got the kitchen cleaned up from family dinner last night. You all saw the vintage puzzle that the kids put together. It is missing two pieces but it is at least as old as my dad, like 82 years old. So, I mean, you know, if I was that old, I'd be missing a couple pieces too. We do have two more of them and they're all from the same family. And the lady I did buy them from said, you know, her grandkids used to play with them a lot and there could be pieces missing. They could be into one of the other boxes. She just didn't know. And I said, that was totally fine. So we'll see. Now the kids wanna put the other two together and see are those complete? Are the pieces mixed up? Like, anyway. Once Bob and Dad are done, I think Dad's gonna head home. And I think we're gonna just hang out here at the house. I don't think we're doing anything else today. Maybe going for a walk. But that's probably it. It's a beautiful day out. It was supposed to rain and be yucky again. But I can't keep it straight what the weather is doing. I just have no idea. I did print some more stuff to draw in my one sketchbook and I have to do yesterday's daily drawings in today's because I didn't do them last night because although the family was here, I could do it so much under my hour. Maybe. Anyway. So, you know, it's Easter weekend. So it's busy. So anyway, get a few steps in, you know, before it rained again, we had some books to take down to the local little library box. Well, as you can see, yeah. So it was a blue sky and kind of warm. Yeah, it's not anymore. And it's windy and raining. Bob ran down to the library box to put the books in. I have a bad knee. I can't do that. So I'm waiting over here by the trail for him. And then we're gonna just head home. Glad I wore a semi water-resistant jacket. He didn't. So he might need to take my umbrella. Wait. So less than 48 hours ago, it was hailing. Now it's like this. And earlier today, it was raining. Yeah, say that again, dear. And earlier today, it was also nice and sunny. It's the weirdest weather on the planet. Anyway, after my dad left after lunch, I don't know, he left about one o'clock or so. To be honest, we've been on the couch since then playing Wadugo, which is a new game on our tablets. Like it's just become an addiction. And you know what? We're not mad about it. It is what it is. We needed a day, obviously, to just veg, so. And laundry's in the dryer, which I have to get out before I go to bed because our shower towels are in there. But anyway, we're gonna have dinner now. It's been a great week, a weird one. It's been weird, but it's been a good week. We hope you've all had a good week too, despite any weirdness that might be going on for you.
