 It is Sunday, 10, 42 a.m. The family went out walking. I opted to stay home today. I'm giving my knee a break between Friday's physical therapy and then walking Friday and work working out Sunday, walking around doing errand. My knee was pretty sore when I got home yesterday. So we're giving it a break. It doesn't hurt. The pain is gone for the most part, but it gets sore. So anyway, we're giving it a break. And I wanna go out to craft warehouse today and I need to get coffee creamer. For some reason, we didn't get any coffee creamer yesterday and we're almost out. That's not okay with me. I need coffee in the morning. So anyway, they're out walking and the cleaning lady's gonna come by today and do a couple of things that she missed that she told me about. I didn't notice. I would have probably not noticed or said anything. Anyway, she says, can I come by? I didn't do this and that. Yeah, okay. So anyway, she's gonna come by and do that. She shouldn't be here before they get back, which is good because then I can go out. It's weird, a house full of people and that means I don't have to wait to do stuff because somebody's coming to fix things or clean things because I have lots of people who can be here at the house for that. It also means that it's really hard to find blogging time where the house is quiet because there's houses always full of people. So it's just one of those adjustment things that we're all still gonna use to, I think. So yeah. Anyway, I'm gonna go upstairs and do today's face and word. I've already checked social media so I'm gonna go do those things while they're out walking and I'll be back. Got out of the house by myself. Yeah, my house is just full of people lately. The kids are living there and it's going well and all, it's just very full of people. So I am going to spend a little time today, an hour or so, just doing some fun stuff. I'm gonna, fun for me. I'm gonna go over to Craft Warehouse, which is a local craft store chain. There's a store, they have a couple stores but there's one in Beaverton. So I'm gonna go run over there. Got some coupons. So I'm gonna go use my coupons, or at least one of them and do some stuff that doesn't include me leaving the house because I have to go to physical therapy or get groceries. That being said, I do need to pick up coffee creamer. So that's a thing. But I will do that at the last minute on the way home. In the meantime, we are gonna just go for a little bit of a drive and enjoy some soothing music and- In 2.3 miles. Hey, good morning, but I wasn't sure technically was still morning. It's 11, 23 AM, so technically I'm right. It's Monday, February 10th. And I have been up, of course, for a bit. I got all the weeks writing done as I have been doing on Mondays and I got today's post done and a couple other posts scheduled out for the week. And I'm working on editing the vlog, which has become another Monday routine. I have the regular vlog, the chronic pain vlog to edit. I have a speed through of Mike Deacon's latest Mission Inspiration, the still image of which I've already shared on social media. And what else? There was something else. Oh, the video of the progress on the faces of me actually creating the faces which goes up to Patreon and the supporters and members here in the community on YouTube. So I have that video to do too. But I got one of the four done. Takes a little bit because I need to listen to myself talk, which I hate and is very cringe worthy. But I have to make sure that I've documented all the links and things I promised y'all in the videos, which this week includes a recipe in the regular vlog. So watch out for that. But anyway, the first of the four is saving right now, rendering. So I'm going to go feed the deer. And I think I need to bring in a couple of garbage cans. So exciting stuff. I know I'll be back. There is a nothing like editing a video, saving said video, having it render and all that jazz. And then getting ready to start the next one. I realized that you made a mistake on the first one and you've got to save it all over again. Yeah. Between that and my anxiety not doing so well, because I'm watching way too many videos about the coronavirus. Yeah, it's been a fun day. I have got to stop watching virus videos. All right, let's check the mail and hopefully the video will be done saving so I can move on to the next one, maybe. All right, I'll be back. Morning, it's Tuesday morning, February 11th, I think. I don't know for sure, to be honest. 9.17 a.m., that I know because there's a clock in the car. I am headed over to physical therapy for my knee. Oh, excuse me, too much coffee, too quick this morning. Headed over to physical therapy for my knee this morning and then at least one really quick errand, nothing big, and then I'm going to go home and I've still got today's face to put on the board, the piece of watercolor paper and I've got to put today's word down. I did some social media stuff, put out an Etsy store ad. Not that it's doing any good lately, you guys. My Etsy store is just, sales are flat. That's the honest truth. Money's not coming in anymore from Amazon, I mean, from YouTube, it's just not good people. That's why going forward, you're gonna hear a lot about requests to support the free content here on YouTube and supporting the Facebook art groups and not just for me, but for all my art friends. So they have a particular artist that you follow on YouTube or over in the Facebook groups like Pig Robinson or Shell C or Cindy Utter or Messy Table Studio, Vicki Brown or somebody figure out if there's a way that you can support them. It may not, it may only be a dollar a month, but let me tell you, that makes a big difference. We all have bills to pay. It's like 3.41 p.m. Wednesday, February 12th, I think. I may be late for watching Rubber Boone's announcement, Rubber Boone Stamp Company and my friend KP. Hope not, but we'll find out. I need to go get the mail and then I'll check. Spent the morning chatting with friends, doing another unexpected purge. So I have another box for the neighbor shelter and got some packages together for my patrons and YouTube membership supporters. So I can get those mailed out on Friday. Wow, mailbox is full. Got my face painted today, got my word up on the board for today. It's been kind of a busy morning unexpectedly, but yeah, got a lot of stuff purged and it's all good. All right, I'll be back. Alrighty, good morning. Again, I had to stop there and check the security camera footage, make sure I remember to close the garage door because that's the thing. Yeah, so anyway, it is Thursday morning, November, oh, February 13th. I kept saying to myself, don't say November, don't say November and I still said it. Anyway, I have had my two cups of coffee, I swear. Out running errands, I need to go to Staples. I need to get some ink cartridges and I want to go by the library. I have a project I want to work on for the art room that I need magazines for, so that's a thing. And I need a few groceries before the weekend and Valentine's Day, so I'm gonna go to Fred Meyer and they all happen to be like on the same street, so I'm gonna just hit them all. Then after lunch, I've got to take my daughter to the airport, so, which I don't really want to do because you know, the whole coronavirus thing and hello, I have anxiety disorder and the last thing I want to do is go to the airport. We don't have any known cases yet in Oregon. There are two more cases in the United States in the last like 24 or 48 hours, so we have 15, I believe. Worldwide cases are like in excess of 65,000, I think, which I still think is being under review because I think that in some parts like China, they're just, the whole system's just overwhelmed and they just can't test everybody. But anyway, I'm trying not to dwell and yeah, get too crazy about it, but you know, we've got our hand sanitizer and we're being cautious. Ami was trying to get breakfast when I drove up, but I don't know if there's any corn over there, so I guess after I unload the car, I need to put corn in the bowls. So it is 347 p.m. and I just dropped my daughter off at the airport. She and Pollyis are going to California for some family stuff and birthday parties for nephews and stuff like that. By the time you all see this, we'll be back, so, you know. Anyway, I was successful at the library. I got a few magazines. I spent a dollar and got, I think, four magazines. There were 25 cents each and I got a number of faces and people out of each one. So I added to my people book or my reference book, which was good and I got today's face done. I really like the way it turned out. I'll put a picture of it here somewhere. Again, the face video sort of speed through a video of me doing them are over either in Patreon or available to the YouTube supporters, YouTube memberships. So you need to be in one of those to get access to the video. Anyway, I'm stuck in traffic. Bumper to bumper, it's like being back in California. Anyway, that's it for the moment, I think. I had a good time going through the magazines and stuff and that was fun. I need to figure out where to get shipping materials from up here. I hate to always buy stuff. All right, that's it for the moment. I will be back probably tomorrow. All right, I'll be back. Morning, everybody. It's Friday, February 14th, Valentine's Day. That's the only reason I know what day it is. It's 7-11 a.m., it's already getting bright out. Make sure they're on my head. I am headed out to figure how to drive my car. I've only had one cup of coffee, but I'm headed out to physical therapy for my knee. And then I have a crap ton next to me of stuff that needs to be mailed out. Sorry about that, that's my keys. Of stuff that needs to be mailed out today. So I'm gonna do that too, including some little gifts to my supporters on Patreon and membership supporters here on YouTube. And then I have other stuff that needs to be mailed, stuff I've sold and things like that. So first we're gonna go get physical therapy over with. I have my second cup of coffee with me. I don't feel like I'm quite awake yet. I kept thinking I should take some Tylenol before I left because my neck is kind of bothering me. I still forgot. I have to just deal with it until I get back. Looking forward to a day of art and play and relaxing at home. And we're gonna go out to dinner later, but we're not gonna do too much. We're babysitting the dog this weekend because the kids are out of town, so. But it's all good. Anyway, I hope you're all having a great Valentine's Day. We started off the morning exchanging cards and chocolate gifts and things like that. I got my husband some chocolates. He's such a good man. He didn't buy me chocolates. He bought me an Amazon gift card. That's more important, anyway. So it's all good. I hope you guys are having a good Valentine's Day. Anyway, all right, that's it for the moment. I'm gonna go make my bleary-eyed way over to physical therapy and I'll be back. Guys, it's Saturday afternoon, February 15th because yesterday was Valentine's Day. Just after three o'clock. 3-12. It's 3-12, man. If you're watching this clip, then you know we were at the gym this morning. We intended on going to the gym, then we were gonna go home, have lunch, shower and change, and then we were gonna go out like, I don't know, go do stuff. It's 3-12. We're just now getting out of the house. It's all right. We're gonna go try to get some steps in at the mall or something. It's a little bit rainy and drizzly out. Lily, unfortunately, can't come with us to the mall so she's in her crate. And that's just, oh well. Stuff happens. Yeah, so we're gonna go do that and I'll be back. That's 85 degree bakery cafe. That's where that clip is from. We didn't intend on going in there buying anything and we ended up spending almost $18 on cake and bread. Cause that's a thing. Cause we can and we're addicted to cake and bread. So yeah. Anyway, we better go get some more steps in before we eat said cake and bread. I'm guessing it's really good because there is a lot of people in there. We were going for like 15 minutes. Yeah, it was crazy. I was chatting with the lady behind me. She said, if we're gonna come back, if we like it to come back during the week in the morning, cause there's nobody there. It's a good tip. All right, I'll be back. So yeah, we did a lot of walking around. I got my steps in for the day, yay. Cause I was only at least double that. So we did that. So that was fun, but there was a lot of people out today. But it's been a fun week. I really enjoyed it. Next week I have to bunker down and I need to plan out March videos and I need to spend a couple of days just filming and then I can take my a little bit of time editing but I'm gonna get all that done and get March in the bag. So I don't have to worry about it cause I enjoy the weeks in between off the few days that I'm doing that, just being able to do art and do what I want to and bring you guys extra content in the vlog or the supporters in Patreon or in YouTube membership, bringing them extra, a little bit of content and putting extra artwork on social media. I'm liking the freedom of just being able to play I guess is what I'm trying to say. So that's fun. Anyway, it's been a fun week. It's been a fun day. I hope you've all had the same. I hope you had a happy Valentine's Day. And yeah, don't forget to like, share and subscribe. Hit the little bell icon if you want notification when new videos come out. If you want to support the free content here on YouTube or over in the Facebook groups there's a lot of different ways to do that. There's of course YouTube membership which is inexpensive. There is Patreon. I have an Etsy store where I design stamps and stencils and I have products and original artwork for sale over there along with digital downloads and all kinds of stuff. I have an Amazon affiliate store. I don't, you don't get charged extra money but I get a little money back on things that you purchase. Anyway, there's lots of different ways to do that. There's links down in the description below along with my happy mail address and all that stuff. So check it out. If you have questions, comments or concerns leave them down below. And the most important thing is go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. I'll see you later. Bye guys.
