 Happy Sunday morning. 16th? I don't know what time it is but it's definitely before lunch. We had our morning coffee and breakfast and we're out enjoying the sunshine while we can before the next storm comes in. Taking Lily for a walk. Hopefully tiring her out a little bit because we need to go run a few more errands today so. I'm getting tired. Me too. I don't think it's working on her though. Anyway yeah so we're gonna do that. I'll bring you with me where I can and I'll be back. You're such a cutie pie. Lily is totally on point there because she sees the screen in the tree. Yeah she wants to get the screen. I'm upstairs in the art room obviously. We came home from doing a massive amount of walking but ironically enough not a lot of shopping so we're looking for new dishes. We have sort of a mishmash of mismatched chipped dishes as one does after a few years and they don't really suit the new house or the new space and so we really want some new dishes and we're just really thinking going forward maybe doing something simple like plain white then if you do break or chip one you know you just go to the store you got it from and get another plain white one if it's not an exact match but it's plain white it's gonna go right because they're all white and everybody has open stock white plates nobody has colored. I think that's what we've decided but like when we do other things like buying bedding where we really I really want his opinion I don't want to just go buy something that he doesn't like it's like pulling teeth it's just not my favorite thing to do so we did a lot of walking around looking at a lot of dishes and dishes and plates the last two days it's a bit of a thing but I think we made a choice so I think it's just a matter of going to go get it and then we went grocery shopping and yeah and now we're just really chilling out at home I've been doing a little artwork adding a oops adding a face to my board there and adding a word I haven't done any journaling today but I did get the extra paint smeared onto a journal page I need to go empty some garbage cans I know fun stuff and um yeah hopefully tomorrow I'll have some time to do some water coloring although I may go sit down downstairs and do an eyeball because my eyeball journal is downstairs I think that might be a plan all right I'll be back hey guys it's Monday evening February 17th I think the president's day here in the U.S. anyway it's about 5 30 spent the day the morning of the gym if you saw this clip you saw that clip came home had lunch took care of the neighbor's dog we were going to go to the movies this afternoon and then maybe I don't know go out but there wasn't anything playing at the theater we wanted to spend 40 bucks to go see so that was the thing so we decided to stay home so I've been editing video all afternoon which is fine with me and Bob is upstairs fiddling with his computer and Rebecca's working and Polyas went into the office rather than stay home and work so yeah so we're just hanging out and chilling it's all good um I think this week which is going to be a pretty hectic week with appointments and physical therapy and like everything I think I'm going to try to also squeeze in one more thing because you know why not I think I'm going to I'm getting garbage can I think I'm going to try to squeeze in filming all or most of March I think and just let's just get it over with this is going to be a crazy week that I'm not going to get tons of extra art done in anyway so why not squeeze in video tutorials for March and maybe try to get all our most of those done because then we're done with March I can edit over the weekend or next week and then I'm in between edits I can just play and that sounds like a plan to me so I think that's what I'm going to be doing but I have hair appointments physical therapy appointments and all kinds of craziness going on so I'll bring you with me where I can all right morning it's Tuesday morning I think it's in 2.3 miles as I was saying good morning I think it's February 18th it's 9 38 a.m and I am headed out to run a couple of errands one of which is getting my hair done because you know the silver is starting to show so it's time to get that done again I look forward to the day when I just stop coloring again and it's getting to be a little bit too much again but my daughter has made me promise not to go gray again until after her wedding so the husband would prefer I don't go gray at all so fun fact um at least not right now but I get tired of the upkeep so there's some honest truth for you this morning first thing um I have to also drop off some amazon returns at a drop-off center which I guess is a ups store so I'm going to do that on the way home and then go take care of the neighbor's dog and then maybe get a couple of videos filmed for march so yeah it's going to be a busy day I don't have my brace on because I thought I'd just give it a try that might be a big mistake but we're going to just take it slow and easy and see what happens I'm gonna just sit in traffic not gonna bore y'all with that and I'll be back hey guys it is 650 something p.m. still on Tuesday it's Tuesday right anyway we're out for a walk it's a brisk I don't know 40 something degrees out there we there I am feels colder feels colder yeah um anyway if we're out for a walk my afternoon did not go as planned I was going to actually try to get one or two videos filmed but I ended up working on today's face and word and chatting with my friend Leslie McGrath of Leslie's creative studio and yeah so I'm gonna get up early in the morning with my husband shower and dress maybe try to get a video filmed in the morning and then go to physical therapy and get some more done in the afternoon maybe I don't know we'll see right now I'm going to go walking and I'll be back it's Wednesday morning February 19th I think 9 47 a.m. I'm on my way to physical therapy I've been up for a while I've done the social media thing and I filmed the my creative year video for March I filmed two videos I may edit it into one I don't know I'll figure out in the editing process how it looks I don't know we'll see um I've got a big list of videos to film and I want to open the next few days I want to get them all in the can I'd like to get them all in the can so to speak before Sunday gotta be ideal and then Sunday Monday Tuesday I can just spend editing however long it takes spend editing and getting them loaded and scheduled out in YouTube and then on my Wednesday I'd like to be done so we'll see how that happens and yeah in the meantime we're going to head over to physical therapy I've got some envelopes packages I've got a mail to the my design team for my product line to my Etsy shop and um from March so they can get started on March projects I have to edit I have to update the website again I'm sadly lacking in that again um it's been I don't know I don't know if I updated it last month I know I didn't December but anyway I don't know so that's gotta be done in the next week or so too anyway in the meantime I'm gonna get over to physical therapy and I'll be back all righty we are done with physical therapy um they always tease me about being a YouTuber and a vlogger and um and I told him that you know I've said on camera before it's not the exercises that hurt it hurts it's when he's poking at my leg and uh when as I was leaving he said something about enjoy you know go enjoy that vlogging I said you better be careful with that because next thing you know I'm gonna put your face on camera so anyway great it's a good I know it's Thursday out just after 10 sending an Etsy order off into the mail I've been up doing some social media work getting things ready to be filmed today um my daughter got a Roomba for Christmas and since they're staying with us I've been taking full advantage of that and we have it running downstairs Roomba is a robotic vacuum for those who don't know anyway I am getting a little bit of a slow start this morning but that's okay I've got a few videos to film today but they won't take very long and I only just like five minutes ago figured out what I was gonna film for one of them so anyway today's a stay at home no jewelry pajama bottom's kind of day which I'm good with so anyway tomorrow hobby lobby opens near me so after physical therapy I know where I'm gonna go anyway that's it for the moment I'll be doesn't seem like a sirens are going away anytime soon I'm not sure what's up but anyway I am done filming for March I think I'm a couple of straggler things I want to do but um I don't have the prompts or all the tools for them right now and they can wait because they're towards the middle of the end of the or the end of the month anyway now I've got a crap ton of editing to do but I'm gonna take a break I'm going to enjoy the sunshine it's beautiful out today I don't even have a jacket on people um and I'm gonna turn some music on in a minute and go for a walk and while I'm out I'll return my neighbor's key to her when I get back and yeah it's all good so let's go for a walk and enjoy some fresh air I'll be morning it's Friday morning February 21st I almost said March um February 21st it's let's see 9 10 a.m car thermometer says 44 degrees outside it's probably pretty accurate I don't know I'm in short sleeves it's bright and sunny out I'll be in a bit chilly I do have a coat with me but I don't anticipate putting it on I'm headed out to physical therapy and then there is a soft opening of the brand new hobby lobby that's near me um just down the road and a soft opening just means their retail establishments usually quietly open a few days before their official opening um the official brand opening which is a bigger deal there's usually a soft opening a few days before and that's today so there we are hobby lobby it's less than four and a half miles from my house I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing but we're gonna go in and check it out today is the first day the doors are open yay I'll be back I've been making a lot of paperclips in the last few months I'm still making paperclips not as quite as many as I was because I have others still love making them but there's been some of them that I want to keep so as you saw in the previous clip I put this box together for some of the ones I want to keep unfortunately I kind of knew when I bought it it might not be enough to have the one box because I still have this whole basket that I want to keep or two say hi to Lily all right I'll be back hey it's 57 degrees out it's a beautiful sunny day got the windows open in the house I got a face done today I started working on staining a display box for some of my paperclips that I want to keep and um if you're watching this clip you've seen that that's what that box is for by the way as I go along in the project I'll film more of it and the kids want a bit on a house cross your fingers everybody that everything goes well with the building inspection and there's a long way to go before they actually have keys but you know we're one step in the right direction so cross your fingers all right I'll be back I would say good morning but it's afternoon it's 12 50 it's 12 50 pm on Saturday February 22nd 22 I almost said Friday yes 22 2020 anyway we are headed into downtown Portland to the convention center to the car show for all the new international auto show and there'll be some new models for the coming year of new cars out both Bob and I our cars are aging rapidly so we're kind of not desperate but in the market looking and trying to plan what we want to do and how to get it in the budget plus we just like looking at cars let's be honest why not why not yeah so anyway we're gonna go do that and try not to get into an accident with a guy that was just stopping on the freeway um we're gonna go do that and we're gonna go to the grocery store that's not exciting but anyway if anything fun happens I will bring you with us I'll be back guys it is 7 23 p.m we are obviously back home the auto show was a lot of fun I do think for my next car I'm gonna be looking at a Nissan Rogue or a Subaru Forester I think of because they're gonna be my two choices they're the two cars that I liked at the show and they're sort of in the same category as my Subaru Alback but a little bit smaller so anyway I like both of those I loved a little lady with little gray hair buns on either side of her head she was the cutest thing holy cow everybody was telling her how cute they thought her hair was um anyway it was a lot of fun uh and then we went to the grocery store we're home now we have had dinner I'm debating making some cookies for your dessert we've got cookie dough so it's not like I have to mix up anything maybe I don't know got 11,800 steps and change so that's a great step day you can hear Lily playing with her toy it's been a great week uh and a good it's been a good great day and uh yeah I look forward to another week ahead um physical therapy is getting tougher but it's all good it's helping out my knee so we're all good um and I'm getting healthier besides so it's all good um and the daily art practice is going well and I'm enjoying making the faces more than I thought I would so it's going to be an interesting piece of art when it's all finished and yeah I only have a day oh a week left and uh like today's a 20
