 well hello and welcome to a vlogmas day 21 I'm gonna try to have a really good attitude today because I'm just gonna try I gotta try I woke up with a headache I went to work by the way I already took my makeup off because it's really freaking cold out and I basically have to like cover my face like this so yeah so it's kind of annoying to do that like with makeup on so I just took my makeup off already but woke up with a headache took some ibuprofen it's a little bit better and then right as soon as lunchtime hit I just had the worst headache again so it's like I don't know six something probably in my head pounding I also feel like like I'm not sick but I feel like I'm getting like sinus issues because there's like all this pressure and like right like behind my eyes and like right into here and it like this is gonna sound crazy but like feels like I have like boogers like stuck but I don't it's really frustrating Doyle thinks it's frustrating too right so I currently have a pretty bad headache but I think and I know this is gonna sound crazy but and I just turned like a bunch of lights on so usually when I have a headache I just want to like go crawl in a dark hole and just not wake up for a long time but I need to eat something and I think that will hopefully help because usually that does help it's like eating eating and showering and like doing something purposeful really helps me I don't know why but it just I feel like it's a mental thing too because I'm like kind of stressed out so I think that's part of it as well so I don't know I just it's all it means literally all in my head like I have a headache and I'm stressed so I have like anxiety and I'm just anxious about stuff but yeah so I think this is what I this is my plan for this evening I'm gonna eat something I'm gonna do that first and I'm not gonna go on the internet tonight I just I can't do it I do have a partial video already ready to go well not it's not ready to go but like I think it was almost done editing I'm not even gonna do that I'm not even gonna open up my computer well my computer's open but that's because that's how it was left last night so I'm gonna close my computer I'm not gonna go on there but my plan is I'm gonna clean up the just a couple of things that are on this table and if I can do it myself which I think I can I'm pretty sure I can like pull out the extension and decorate and set my table for Christmas Eve Eve that will make me feel accomplished plus I need to set out my like here I just put my centerpiece but that's gonna change a little bit so I want to put that on the table like I feel like that'll make me feel a little bit better so that's my big goal for tonight is just the table obviously the centerpiece too because that's part of the table eat a little bit of something and legit go to bed like those are my goals it's really really silly but I know those are my goals oh plus I did the dishes and those are air drying because my dishwash sucks so whatever and oh I did ice last night in my new little ice cubie trays whoa so I am gonna crack these babies open and put them in this little bad boy so I got this too to hold the ice so yeah I'm gonna start making some ice for the next few days I think I'm actually gonna have my brother like pick up a bag of ice too because I want to use the like the ones I'm making for drinks if people want like something with ice and then I have a beverage cooler as well don't mind the dog treats I mean move those this is like a beverage cooler that I got from World Market I believe and it's got like a galvanized insert it's got cloth napkins in it currently it does will go away in a minute but I want to put some beverages in there and I've got like some bottled like root beer and I'll have like coax and diet coax and there's lots of other stuff to put in there so I think I'll have my brother run to like the gas station or whatever his way here oh update on the brother situation I thought he was gonna come either tonight or sometime tomorrow but turns out he's actually gonna come on Christmas and he's gonna be here about noon so he's gonna leave Iowa I don't know like mid-morning and then because it's only like a three and a half hour drive I think it's like only three and a half hours so it's not that bad so that's the plan for now who knows it may change but he is planning on being here at noon to kind of like help me set up plus crack on the wind shield I don't know if I said this or not I can't remember called my insurance agency to tell them about the windshield and then I called another number and I got someone to actually fix my windshield they're actually coming here on Saturday at noon my garage is actually heated so they need at least 50 degrees for like the adhesives to set and I think a car has to like sit for a little while or whatever so the guy that owned this place before remember him with the dark paint that guy well turns out he actually had a classic I think it was a Camaro maybe and he would like to work on it you know in the garage in the winter time in Minnesota so can't really do that without heat so he put in this like wall heater in the garage I've never used it but it does work because I you know once I went through like all the inspections and stuff I had to like learn how to use everything so basically in my utility room I just have to flip a switch and then go out there and turn it on so Saturday early morning when Doyle wakes me up well he'll probably wake me up between like five and seven so I will wake up with Doyle and then just turn it on to get it like up to temperature and then I have to take my dad's car and move that out of the garage for the day and because they got to be able to like get all around the vehicle and stuff so anyway that's what's happening I'm gonna do some things and then I'll check in with you guys in a little bit and hopefully I have something interesting to show you aka the table later on if for some reason I can't do it by myself I'll just have to wait until my brother comes but I would like to get something accomplished tonight because I feel like it will help my brains I hope it helps my brains I don't know we'll see we'll see but eating tabling seeing a little bit okay before I like embark on my journey of the evening I totally forgot to share with you guys that the staff party that we had today where I made my taco dip stuff I've got all my empty containers but I brought I don't know if I showed you guys what I brought but I brought a bottle of smirnoff vodka it was highly suggested that everybody bring alcohol so that's what it did and it was like a $10 gift limit or whatever and I think mine was on sale to liquor store at $10.99 I mean who cares it's a dollar so whatever it was a dollar more but I wanted to share what I got which is this California red wine manajatois is the brand name and I thought that was a freaking hilarious so yeah so it's some red wine and I guess the gal that bought this was telling me that it's actually more of like a sweeter red wine so it's not like super I don't know she said I think she said use the word dry like a Cabernet or like really rich or whatever so anyway and then I also got this which is a Russell's Stover a box of chocolate so I will probably end up putting those out for Christmas as well but those are the things I got so yeah very exciting the person that gave this was actually giving away mostly coffee but she knows that I don't drink coffee so there was a few select people in the group that got chocolates instead of coffee so yeah okay I'm really gonna go this time and I will see you guys when hopefully some things are done okay so it is a few hours later I ate a little bit of something and I accomplished a little bit of something so I feel a little bit better I've got the dishes going again because I've got to use some of those dishes tomorrow because I am making rum cake tomorrow so I will take you along on that journey and you know show you that I'm actually doing something interesting but I did my table very exciting right so let me turn you around I'll show you all of the glory so this is the table situation the damn plant is not gonna stay there I'm gonna move that I think upstairs for now but it does get quite a bit of light down here so I'm gonna leave it down here for now that is the table all of that stuff is gonna go away too in the corner over there and that cart it's all gonna go away but yep this is it this is it so this is where I am going to sit and I didn't put out the utensils or anything yet that's I don't know I just didn't do it but everyone's gonna ask where things are from and I might as well just tell you now so I got the runner at Bed Bath and Beyond Chargers are from World Market so are the napkins there's like a plain black napkin plates both from Home Goods several years ago I got all of these initial mugs from anthropology they don't match perfectly this is more of like a bone color and this is more of a bright white the glasses are actually from the Dollar Tree but they're like really heavy weight and I really really like them so that is what everyone's place setting looks like that one looks a little bit different and let me show you why this is for Jackson which is my nephew and I'm pretty sure that he won't use a real glass but I got this and it's a penguin like how cute is that and I got this at Bed Bath and Beyond this is the bigger version I think this was like the 12 ounce version and then like it has like his like little penguin beak as a straw and then you can put that down and then there's no straw anymore so I just thought this was really cute so I figured he might want to use that versus a mug or a glass and the mugs are actually for I'm gonna make some hot chocolate later so that's what that is for and then I got my same kind of tablescape thing going on this stuff was all from at home that I got on one of my other vlogs I believe so that's how the tables looking so far I'm very excited about it I like the way that's all of this looks and obviously I was able to extend the table by myself so that was actually quite easy and I'm very satisfied with myself now over here this is gonna go away as well now over here I've got my lacquer tray you can't see it very well you can see it more well in person more well I don't think that was proper English but one have I ever done proper English I have these glass candlestick holders that I got at World Market a few days ago maybe a week ago I don't know and then I've got these little like pinecone balls sitting on top of them and then I just shoved all the pinecone garland in the tray and I don't know I don't really mind how that looks I do want to hang the star up eventually I just I'm so anti-committal with hanging stuff you guys like I've got a problem but yeah and then my stocking is gonna go away even though I know my mom watches my vlogs and she'll be like well you should keep it out but I don't know I think I'm just gonna put it in one of those drawers because it's kind of stressing me out right Doyle are you stressing me out what are you doing on doing it's like a little after 8 o'clock and I know it's really really freaking early I'm gonna go to bed because my head is still kind of pounding and I've got a bunch of stuff I want to do tomorrow like the baking and all of that so I just want to be good you know they mean like I don't want to push it tonight so I'd rather just go to bed a little bit earlier get some stuff done and then on Saturday I actually can I don't know asleep in isn't the right word but like relax a little bit because I'm not having people over until like five or six or I think they're gonna come over about five and then we're gonna eat probably around six is I think the I think the goal I don't know so I'm hoping on Saturday in the morning like I'll turn the heater on in the garage and whatnot but I'm hoping Saturday in the morning I can get some editing done because I don't know I might be able to get some editing done actually tomorrow because the cake I mean it takes a while but you're waiting a while too because obviously you're waiting for a cake to bake in the oven as well so I don't know I'm just feeling anxious but that's just who I am as a person so yeah right Doyle you coming up oh here he comes here he comes oh god it looks like I'm Doyle oh my god look at that oh no Doyle you moved it literally looks like I had his body and butt was attached to my head hi buddy oh my gosh I know I know did you want to go outside oh my gosh he's very excited his tail is a wiggling wiggly tail hi boo what's up little buddy but yeah sorry this vlog was so like complaining I feel like I just wish my brain would just like turn off sometimes you know like could there just be a switch just like like right here and just like turn it off and then you can like turn it back on be like really hopeful but um yeah but I'm gonna go because I'm gonna go to bed early and I'm kind of excited about it Doyle's excited about it too but he's always excited about going to sleep we're taking naps or whatever I'm gonna go but thank you guys so much for watching I really appreciate it feel free to subscribe to see me bake a cake tomorrow and and by the way I'm like not a baker so this should be like kind of interesting so I've done it before but I've done it like with help like from my mom so I don't know I might have to like call her and put her on speaker or something but um but yeah so thank you guys so much for watching I really appreciate it Doyle really appreciates it too right bud yeah yeah hi Benny and we will see you guys in the next
