 it's 9 57 a.m. sunday 28th you know i got that right um anyway my dad has headed home he's a couple out he lives a couple hours away for those that don't know my hair is just yeah this morning i don't know anyway we are you've had coffee and breakfast and all of that and i'm dressed bob's getting dressed and then we'll get our day started morning it is monday morning august 29th 10 a.m. straight up as i turned the camera on wow i have been checking on moody mondays for my facebook art group to make sure i have the next couple months already done and the posts scheduled i already had the mood boards done i thought i hadn't done them yet but they're done already um and i just scheduled the posts for september and october and then we have another arcy trio video coming out this week on wednesday so i sketched and i the mood board this time is mine so i scheduled the post for that just now and now i'm gonna edit the vlog and then i'll write all the posts i do some written posts every monday for the facebook groups it's typical monday and while i'm doing all of that i'm listening to the hoof gp on youtube because why not i'm not a farmer but i mean it's interesting he's scottish the countryside's beautiful i mean what's to hate the hoof gp i'll link it below all right that's it for the minute i'll be back okay as you can see we started another new painting i do think this one over here is done now i just wanted to add some abstracted sort of dots of light reflection on the on on the upper part and the lower part water rocks and i do think it's past time i clean that off a little bit because yeah i've got no room to mix paint so that's an issue hold on honestly say that's not where i expected that to go not mad about it but i'm good with it what do you think okay some of you might be mad at me but as i was cleaning up i had the urge to take this scraper which is actually a frosting spreader from dollar tree and run it vertically down the painting while some of the paint was still wet i like what happened are you ready don't be mad i'll have to bring some things back out but holy cow i love that all right now i'm gonna clean up i'll be back okay guys i've been putting this off a long time and i'm still putting off going through the rack of stencils but it is well past time beside that that i go through my the stuff that was on my table over there so i'm rearranging that which is probably gonna lead to a certain amount of purging of the small bits bank because some of this just needs to be put away some of it just needs to go away when i'm working on a project like um paper clusters or things i can pull from the bank a few things that i want to use up and then use them up and then put everything else away but i don't need to like hang on to shit for eternity pardon my french so it is time to go through things and let go of what's doesn't need to be here yeah that's just the tip of the iceberg i'm afraid all right i'll be back table is done that's that new setup over there i've got my current project out on the table i have a box that's full of just stuff it's just ephemera um and scrap paper uh i don't know exactly what to do with it yet maybe it'll go in the trash maybe i don't know but now now see this is what i was afraid of it's gonna lead to me cleaning out these big bins fun fact i've already cleaned out two of the smaller bins just a thing all right so i'm gonna grab something to sit on a k the footstool because i have a bad knee and it's gonna be hard for me to get up off the floor if i sit on the floor sit my bone broth while i'm going through stuff i'll be back i did do the stencils finally i didn't get rid of as many as i thought it was probably going to be there were some that weren't on the rack so i'm thinking in one of my anxiety hazes i already did a purge so bonus i wasn't missing anything super important the spot of something on the wall um they were ones i would have purged anyways so yay um i did set our unexpected face aside i don't have all the lights on because it's really hot um because it might be done i'm not sure um i did start a new one i don't know i'm just painting all of a sudden so anyway that's a thing i'm just gonna play my word games games on you know my brain games and notification from next door anyway i'm gonna play my brain games while bob's finishing up his work day and we're gonna go get some steps in at one of the shops because it's gross outside and we have a few things that we kind of need so kill two birds with one stone right all right let's not kill any birds it's just a ways to anyway let's get to it i'll be back everybody it is 10 15 a.m thursday september 1st welcome september but it's never a good way to start the day or the month when you find out because of a notification from the bank and etsy that your atm card you use to pay etsy fees is expired and you never got a new one so you have to spend 20 minutes on the phone with the bank and have them expedite you a new card happy thursday i don't know all right i'll be back one or two minutes after 9 a.m um friday september second i have a doctor's appointment this morning just a routine checkup nothing crazy medical stuff sets my anxiety off fun fact all kinds of medical stuff doctors danis all of it am i handling it better than i normally do yes thank you medication and counseling i'm not having what feels like a heart attack because they usually like the panic attack it's so bad but yeah okay i was right it was just a checkup because of the psych meds that i'm on he wanted to make sure i was doing okay and didn't need a change in the prescription which i don't he did do some labs um so we'll see how those come out hopefully nothing abnormal um but it was a pretty good visit so yeah now it's time to go to the post office it's not lunchtime yet so i'm anticipating it being yucky at the post office we'll see i'll be back i still don't know where that's going but i'm determined to just go with how i feel for the moment i'm feeling confused kind of shows a little bit do i like it i actually don't know well i end up painting over the whole thing always a possibility but we'll see i'll be back guys i don't know what did you just say about this painting i don't know like where it's going now but for me it reads like peaceful confusion i guess that makes sense because if i'm painting how i feel that's how i feel most days peaceful confusion um but yeah i really like it all right i used up two more fluid old old old old fluid acrylics so i'll take pictures of them and the next time i need to be at the art supply store um and or have a gift certificate gift card i will i'll refill them because they're two colors that you do use a lot so anyway i'll be back morning uh i don't know what time it is any idea 11 30 11 30 saturday september 3rd something like that and yes we're out for a walk the high today is only supposed to be 77 wahoo got my blood work back to the doctors everything's cool and yeah we're all good what i said that um i don't know if those are leaves or if those are if that's algae but the river looks pretty stagnant but it is flowing at a very leisurely pace if it if any yeah so kind of looks like a little bit of both leaves and algae not allergy not allergy algae not allergy yeah that's what it is anyway it's like got to normal levels because you can see the dock fully down there yeah all right i think we have a new friend i don't know if it's a good thing or not but that's not a squirrel the tail is not fluffy no let's see if you got a very large mouse or a small rat and it's different than one we've seen here before that's all black but i'm glad it's brown to it yeah guys we are watching the postman always rings twice the original version of black and white it's actually much more interesting than i remember to be the first time i saw it but anyway we had a really nice family dinner night we got to have grand cat biscuit at our house here is a little bit of um video his dad shot and pictures that his dad took dad brian and yay we've adopted brian and his wife jenny into our family as our other kids
