 some unexpected errand. I went to go clean and de-scale my coffee pot. You can always tell when it needs done because you know the water only comes out of the dribble. I have a K-Cut machine anyway. I think the de-scaling actually killed the machine because now it's not working at all. I'm sure it's just a clog but because of the nature of the machine it's like impossible to clean out the pipes when there's a clog. And or honestly I can't be bothered. I'm just going to go buy a new one. If the husband wants to put it out on his workbench when he has time and fiddle with it he can. But yeah I'm going to go just buy a new one because it's gray as you can see and raining and my neighbor's tree here. Let's see behind me. There we go. It's in bloom. So yeah anyway let's go hit the road and run some errands. We're still in the golden hour sort of ish so hopefully we can get it done and get back before the lunch rush and uh yeah that's it for right now. I'll be back. I take I take oh sorry that's the windshield wipers. I take some of that back. It's like 45 minutes later than I thought it was. It's already almost 11 o'clock. Where has the morning go? Oh wait I know trying to de-scale and clean the coffee pot which I think didn't make it better. I think I completely killed it and clogged it up. We have such hard water it's so bad. All right so yeah it's gray out and wet. Some would say gloomy but I actually like this kind of weather. Sorry about that that's really annoying it's like fingernails on a chalkboard. So we are going to go try to get the errands done before it gets any later in the day because like around one o'clock when everybody's trying to finish lunch and get back to work it gets really crazy and it's raining and the roads are wet and slippery and oily because we haven't had a lot of rain so it's going to be extra insane. So yeah I will bring you all with me and we'll be right back. Let's see if we can go find a new coffee pot. Yeah all right let's go. A few other things that I probably now we will try to make our way over to the grocery store provided this guy in the Audi behind me actually gives me enough room to back up my car. We'll see. Glad I have a backup camera. I set the auto on and I had to watch a YouTube video to figure out how to turn the power off. FYI if you have or are buying a k-cut machine 2.0 400 series push and hold the power button. You have to hold it put your press your finger on there and keep it there for the machine to go off. Anyway the version of it that I bought did not come with the water filter for the inside of the tank because they don't they have it but they don't come with. I don't understand that makes no sense to me. Hey everybody trying hard these days not to do all the vlogging in the car but it's just convenient when I'm in the car. I spent the morning taking care of some financial stuff for my husband and finishing a journal page and chatting with a friend. I got the vlog for last week edited today loaded to YouTube. It is Tuesday. It's Tuesday February 27th maybe I think because I think tomorrow's the last day of February. Hey everybody it's Wednesday February 28th I think the last day of the month. I have spent the morning doing my daily writing and posting that I usually do in the mornings on social media. Yeah my hair's wet again at least we're not in the car. I haven't actually done any art today not yet anyway. I've been taking care of myself eating a good breakfast having my morning coffee getting on the treadmill you know it's whether it takes up your morning to take care of yourself or you choose to get up early so it doesn't interfere with other things you have to do like if you have a day job it's really important you take care of yourself and I'm not just saying that to you guys I'm saying it to myself. We're not getting any younger so you know so I did get on the treadmill today I forgot my Fitbit but you know I did it. I have to run out and go run a couple of errands nothing like super earth shattering just normal stuff like the usual uh getting the mail yeah um I have to do laundry again for two people there's only two people in the house we sure do make a whole lot of trash and a whole lot of dirty laundry are we just really clean people or really dirty people I don't know why no no I don't know I had to rewrite my um weekly to-do list because the old one there's a quick flash for you if anybody wants to pause and see what I'm gonna be up to art art wise or art business wise um the old one had like too many scratch out and highlight marks on it and notations and you know when it gets to that point and I can't make heads or tails of it it's time to write a new list and it's not like I have a shortage of paper in this room hello have you seen my art room there's paper everywhere um I have to catch up on some daily drawings and finish up February drawings um since today's last day I also have been working on I don't know so you kind of grabbed this so I don't remember now if I showed this before I might have so I did this sheet on some drawing paper not long ago um with some sketches and journaling about an evening out that we had and I'm going to do another one of these sheets and I think after I have a collection of them they're going to become a scanned collection of downloads on my Etsy shop um I really like the look of them and if you guys want we may do a tutorial on this too um y'all let me know in the comments so we did another evening out where I took a bunch of random not super exciting pictures just ordinary stuff and so and that's what that's about so I'm going to draw those up we're going to another event this weekend that I'm going to do the same thing for and so I'll have those pictures coming up and um I think that's it for the moment we're in the midst of doing some financial rearranging around here which means we have to deal with banks which is just never fun it's just never fun and they ask the dumbest questions you know especially when they have their file right in front of you it's like when you go to the doctor and they ask you stupid questions and you're like did you not look at my file before I came in y'all know what I mean without getting too personal into too much detail y'all know what I mean anyway so we were dealing without this week which is a bit aggravating so anyway so I have lots of stuff coming up and if you guys want to see a tutorial on this um or if you think the papers as background or download images are a good idea let me know um I am constantly thinking of or working on new ideas for the new sticker set download uh sticker sets that I have for sale right now there are four designs for sale in the Etsy shop I'm working on some more each one of them takes a long kind of while a few hours to format and cut and fix and you know then if I put the paper in the cutter the right way then we're good to go put it in the wrong way then I'm swearing up a storm anyway that's my life this week all right that's it for the moment I'm gonna go run my errands and have some lunch I'll be back a giant packet of financial paperwork that we've already filled out so it's a duplicate because you know let's just waste a tree a pet peeve of mine sorry my hallway um so I'm back finally and I got what I needed it staples I needed a scarf to go with an outfit I'm wearing to a business thing this weekend and there's a Ross next door to staples so and then I got some ink for my printer and the husband's printer and then white out because my white out things like all exploded and died over the weekend um I got some more uniball signal bold gel pens I got this white and metallic pack and they didn't have that style of their gels pen in the broad nib in black but they had these clickable ones so I need I needed both because all my oh my I keep trying to go use them and they're all dried up so anyway all right so that's it for the moment I really need to eat lunch now and I'll be right back hey guys it is raining I don't think I need these today put them away in my bag it is what day is it Thursday March 1st okay so yay um I am headed out to run errands as you can see because we're in the car again it is raining outside and cold colder than normal in most of California it's all the rain is all good we need the rain so not complaining um I need to go out and run some errands sorry that's the windshield wipers um and I have an appointment to get my hair done and have the you know the white sparkliness that's coming out of my hair covered up so there's no point in doing anything with it because she's just going to mess with it anyway so it's up in a you know messy thing um it's not wet though hey rule or something so I came to the mall looking for a storage solution for my daily drawing stuff only to discover and realize that I probably have something sitting in the back of my car that'll work oops I guess it's time to go run the rest of my errands to go home so I can fix that up I'll be back hey guys it is Friday March 2nd really trying hard to remember the day and date anyway um it's Friday March 2nd it's family dinner and game night um we are gonna have a crazy snack um taste test thing um from Daiso I don't know if you remember um I don't remember now if it was last week of the week before where my husband and I went to the mall to walk around because we didn't want to you know be at home we wanted to do something and we of course I picked a mall that had a Daiso of course I did and while I was looking at stationery I made the mistake of leaving him in the snack aisle and he came home with some crazy snack foods so we're going to be tasting those with the kids later tonight I think one of them is sardine flavored crackers so I don't know what he picked but I have a feeling it was really weird that's what I get for leaving him alone in the Asian food aisle um anyway so we're gonna do that tonight I've spent the morning literally uh working on the computer and in between things saving or loading trying to get loads of laundry and the washing machine I've updated the website um sent out an email newsletter updated some things on Etsy did all my daily postings on social media that I needed to do today arranged for somebody to do some things for me over the weekend because I'm gonna be um unavailable um it's just I was like I looked up at the clock and it was already after one o'clock and I hadn't had lunch yet so yeah I just got done with lunch did the dishes uh because that wasn't done yet either because you know and so yeah I'm out here in my dining room um so I'm going to put my sweatshirt on I need to empty all the household garbage cans not

weeks where you know I'm having trouble getting ahead of the game I'm barely staying caught up so anyway all right that's it for the moment I'm gonna do that fun thing like take out the trash I'll be back I was getting ready to walk over to get the mail and now I'm not sure if I should or not it's raining maybe I should go back inside and get my raincoat just in case that's probably a good idea okay so now we're going to go over hopefully it doesn't do more raining than it is right now on the way back and if it does hopefully there's not too much mail but I need to get some steps in if you give me any excuse I'll just drive because I'm lazy at heart but it's really not good for me I need to walk all right let's go there's something up ahead at least so we can walk around and have lunch

you know not with it enough but we are driving through Morgan Hill California it is about just before noon on Saturday no on the ground I know you don't believe me because there's like none right now I think because we were under an overpass and it was still you know hadn't melted yet there was snow on the ground I'm in I'm in the Santa claire county like this doesn't happen often it doesn't generally get cold enough for us to have snow and of course everybody had to slow down and take a look at it because you know and the object goes on the road maybe it was the object that we said was on the road snow so anyway if we find any more I'll try to be quicker with the camera but I have some room to wisdom to bring you much happiness as you travel through this life remember this if you think you can or you think you can't you're right they can't tell you more they gave us this huge book back at the hotel we're going to try to get a good night's sleep and then we've got to get up in
