 still morning. It's 10, 10.47, right? It's Sunday, November 24th. 24th, see? Without Fred, what would I know? Nothing. Anyway, we're headed for something. You are good for something. So we're headed over to the grocery store this morning and of course we created Lily and she started crying before we even got out the door. But you know, what are you gonna do? We can't bring her to the store with us. So I spent the morning in a women's group chat which was really great and productive this morning. It's with the my sister's fairy feng shui group and so if you want details on that and her Facebook group and where you can ask her how to join the chat and all that stuff, more of what the chat's about. I'll link her Facebook group in the description below. You can go check her out. It's not about art, it's about improving oneself. Anyway, we are, I also spent the morning deleting all haul and giveaway videos here off of YouTube. My channel is not about bribing you all to watch the channel or bragging about what art supplies I may or may not have. You don't have to have specific supplies to create great art or to work through art for therapy. I also don't want to bribe people to watch my channel. Either want to watch it or you don't. So all those videos are gone. Of course I saved them. I do have them in my backup but they're all gone here off of YouTube. I think I might be delete happy but you know there we go. Anyway, we're gonna go get our shopping done then we've got some house things to do and I'll be back. Sunday evening Fred's cooking. Fred's cooking. Yeah, we're gonna just put this as part of the vlog. So he's complaining that he's almost out of rum. You're not completely out of rum. There's some in there. There's not for one more. Yeah, maybe. Anyway, so we're making, we got another meal kit from Fred Meyer which is part of the Kroger chain. Not sponsored but if you want to sponsor and you're watching, let me know. We do like their meal kits because they're easy and it's perfect for just two people. This one is the crispy orange chicken which I don't think we've had yet. Sometimes, yeah, I mean, sometimes it makes a lot of food. Yeah, this one's calorie heavy. Holy cow, this one's very calorie heavy. I won't be eating a full portion. It's 1400 calories for one half of the kit. That's more than my daily allowance on Luzet and I've already had breakfast and lunch and snack. Wow, all right. Yeah, it's crazy. Anyway, so Fred's cooking. There's not a lot for me to help with this time because I think everything's done already. He just has to assemble. Yeah, so he's gonna do it in a pot the old-fashioned way rather than use the rice cooker. I know. That's what I told you to do, so you're doing it the way I said. Anyway, so he's doing that. We already also today spent some time replacing all the smoke detectors in the house because we discovered that the old ones, the date on them was 2005. For those that don't know, smoke detectors only have a 10-year lifespan that's recommended. So yeah, that's an issue. So we got that done and we cleaned out some closets upstairs and got the Thanksgiving grocery shopping done. So now we're gonna just cook some dinner and we still have crazy pants. Where is she? See the black... I see the black face right there, the black spot on the couch. Right there. That's crazy pants. Huh. Yeah, she's a little nuts and she does not like when we go out and leave her to go to the store or something. She does not like that. We went out yesterday to a concert. She was really pissed. Yeah, we went last night. If you watched last week's vlog, then you know we want to see the Trans-Siberian orchestra, which was great. But boy, holy cow, was she pissed off. And when we got back, we couldn't get her settled down to go to bed until after midnight. After midnight. And then I had to be up early this morning for a women's group Zoom conference call. And so, yeah, I'm all tired. And we have to be up early again tomorrow because we have me and my bright ideas. I made morning dental appointments. I don't know what I was thinking. Yeah, you weren't. I evidently wasn't, yeah. Well, you got to slice up the broccoli. Okay, so anyway, we're gonna do this and we'll let you know how it turns out and we'll be back. Fred's all done and there you have it. Looks pretty good. We split it into three servings rather than two because yeah, holy cow, it's a lot of calories, but it looks delicious. Good job, friend. See, lots of calories. Yeah, a lot of calories. All right, we're gonna have some dinner and I'll be back tomorrow. Bye guys. It's Monday morning, November 25th. It's about a quarter to 8 a.m. or so. We're on our way to a dental appointment at our new dentist. It's our first visit. I'm a little nervous. Not too much, but a little bit. I've never had a different dentist other than my old dentist, which is my uncle, my dad's younger brother and his sons. I've always gone to Bronzini Dental in Millbray, California always since I got my first tooth. So this will be my first trip to another dentist. I'm sure it'll be fine, but yeah, a little bit nervous. All right, I'll be back. Okay, so the good news is I like the new dentist. The bad news is I need some work done. It's not anything I didn't know about. My uncle for quite a while now has been watching a few spots in my mouth. I do have a tendency to clench and grind my teeth, which is how I cracked one of my upper molars a couple of years ago, or more than that now I think. And I had to have a root canal and have it drilled out because it got infected. And I knew there were a couple other molars that were cracked he was watching. We're going to just go ahead and rip the bandaid off and Wednesday, yeah, two days from now, I'm getting both of them fixed. And then I also have a little spot near the front that they were also watching at my uncle's office that they thought was maybe a cavity. And we're going to go ahead, it is a cavity. We're going to go ahead and have that filled. And he said, you know, you can come back for three visits. I said, can we just do it all at once? He said, that's like a two or three hour office visit. I said, if you're okay with it, I'm okay with it. I'd rather just get it done all at once. It's the day before Thanksgiving, but you know, my mouth is going to be sore. It means I won't overeat. Okay, there's always leftovers. 15 minutes before 10 o'clock on Tuesday, November 26th. The ring keeps going off this morning. It's mostly just been the cats, but right now it's Bambi. You see that? She's looking right at me like, what are you doing? Why are you filming me? This feeling. It's pretty cool that she's just standing there. I'm sure she'll run as soon as I turn the car on or make a loud noise like shutting the car door. But I got to go. I got to get to the hairdresser. All right, I'll be back. So as you heard from me earlier, I went to the dentist. I had some dental work done. Two crowns and a cavity to be exact. Yeah, a lot of poking. My mouth is a little sore. It's not too bad. I did take a Tylenol, but I'm not taking and it was just an overly counter Tylenol. It wasn't anything special. I'm not going to do more than that. But we want to get some steps in. I'm not feeling bad enough to just stay home and be miserable. So we're, but it's too cold out to be honest. It's only, well, the car dashboard says, well, it said 50. Now it's going down. It went down to 49, 45 and icy outside. So we are going to actually go to the mall and go walk around the mall. I know it might be very peepily, but that's okay. Bob does need a couple of things. So we're going to go do that. If anything interesting happens, you know, I'll bring you with me. So we'll be back. So that trip to the mall was interesting. That was interesting. And then of course there was the little boy who threw up all over the floor. Yeah, and his parents were trying to be very discreet about it, but nobody was helping them. So I went and got a girl from a local shop and said, can you call security or something? They're having a problem. And then there was the couple that was walking around the mall. He was carrying a camera, taking pictures of her. How do we describe her? He didn't have much on. She did have a long sweater on, I think, to kind of cover up and be discreet about what she had underneath it, which was a nude colored dress, a flesh-colored dress. Pretty sure she had no underwear on. On top or bottom. So yeah, that was a thing. So yeah, that was interesting. We're gonna head over to the Sporting Goods store now to buy Dear Corn. It's Thanksgiving morning November 20th. What is it? November 28th. Thanksgiving Day here in the United States. And so we have the turkey in the oven. And it's just gonna be my husband and I and our daughter and her boyfriend, fiance. I have to start calling him son-in-law soon anyway. So they're all coming over with Lily of course. And it's gonna be a good day. I, as you know, had dental work done yesterday. And I'm all good. I do have temporary crowns in. So I need to be careful what I eat, how I eat it for the next couple of weeks. But it's all good. I'm not in any pain. I took a Tylenol yesterday for some of the aching. But otherwise I didn't need anything. It is weird not being able to wear my night guard. So I am having dental work done because I do clench and grind my teeth. And I am, I have some cracked molars. And I had one repaired years ago and I knew another one was coming or two. I knew I knew it was gonna happen. But my new dentist, who I totally agree with him, we decided not to wait for them to be infected or have other issues. They already were pretty cracked, these particular two. So I'm like, let's just fix them. Let's just fix them. So we did. So it's all good. I can still eat turkey and mashed potatoes. So it's all good. My husband is downstairs. If you can hear his voice in the background a little bit talking to his mom. And it's gonna be a good day, I think. So anyway, I hope you're all having a good day, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not. And you're spending it with your family. And I'll get in 22 a.m. Friday morning the day after Thanksgiving. I didn't get a lot of any footage of the dinner yesterday. There's just too much going on. As you can hear the crunching in the background, Lily is here eating breakfast. I'm gonna spend the day today putting up the Christmas tree and decorating the house for Christmas. So we'll see how that goes. Alright, I'll be back. At the Slay Bell's Christmas tree farm. We're gonna cut down a real tree. That's not something we've done since Rebecca was little. But we're gonna give it a shot. So let's see how this goes. The kids are gonna cut down a tree. Becca keeps saying she's gonna do it. But yeah, this ought to be funny. We'll be back. It's not gonna be cheap. We have an angel. We always put an angel. Where are you from? Are you a pair of an angel? Yeah, you want to make sure it's far a little to the ground. Oh, look at the view. The view. You can see Mt. Hood. Oh yeah, the clock says 12.15. As you can see, we're getting ready for Christmas. The inside's pretty much done. We just need to do the outside, which we may do today. We may do tomorrow, but we're gonna try to do before Monday. I think I vlogged yesterday. We went and cut down the Christmas tree. It's the first time in a long time we've had a Christmas tree. We either haven't done this since Rebecca was a baby, or more likely than not. We've not done it since before we got married. That was a long time ago. So anyway, we're just having a quiet day at home. We may go out and do some running around. We don't have any particular plans, but we'll see what happens. And if we do anything interesting, I'll bring you with me. Of course I will. Alright, I'll be back. We got the outdoor decorations and lights up. One of the timers I think is set wrong because those lights above the garage are not on. Where are we? There we are. So he's working on it, and I'll get you all a picture of what the house looks like. Anyway, it's been a fun day. A cold day. We don't have any snow, but it feels like snow weather. Anyway. Oh, there we go. There are maybe just a loose connection. Anyway, he's working on it. They're going on and off. Anyway, it's been a fun week. I have some projects that I'm gonna work on this coming week. YouTube apocalypse or not. I'm gonna... I do have some things art-wise I'm gonna do. I will be sharing them on YouTube if we're still all on YouTube. I'll be sharing them on Instagram, Twitter, and the appropriate Facebook groups and all of that. So follow me on one of those to keep in touch. I guess in case I get in Facebook jail again or something happens on YouTube other than what I expect, you might want to pick a couple of different social media platforms to follow me on. In the meantime, ornaments on that little tree. We're gonna try to light it but we just can't figure out there's no outlet out here and it's not safe to run it across the pathway. But there's the hedges and the LED lights in the window. Garage lights. That's the most that we're gonna do but it looks good I think. We all hope you've had a great week. Follow us on social media. Pick one or two of them in case one of them locks me out and I get in jail again. Anyway, there's some fun projects coming up for the new year for the month of December. I'm gonna be trying to finish up some watercolor journals. My friend Vicki Brown has been inspiring me to pick them up again so I'm gonna do that and it is cold out here so we're gonna go inside. We hope you've had a good one. Don't forget to like share and subscribe and above all go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. I'll see you later. Bye guys.
