 I know it's 2 17 p.m. Sunday. I'm fired Sunday August 16th. I spent the morning editing the vlog working on cleaning up my computer's hard drive wrapping up Etsy orders which we just dropped off at the mailbox so I don't have to do it tomorrow Fred went to the gym you know normal dishes and all that stuff we just kind of oh and in the comments right that you need to upgrade to my hobby I'm still using El Capitan I have an iMac and occasionally it's not like running super well fairly sure it's a software issue not a hardware issue and El Capitan's not being updated anymore and some of the other apps it's aren't well supported by El Capitan I probably need to update the lobby I don't really want to it could be a processor issue and it could be my processing power is not strong enough for doing like five million things at once like I'm usually want wanting to do which I probably shouldn't be doing my computers what did we decide six years old eight years old something like that so it's a 2015 how many is that five years old it's the apocalypse people I've lost track five years um anyway so that's a thing I thought we had it fixed and we kind of did but then I realized that YouTube doesn't work with Safari so I have to have a copy of Google Chrome on my computer no they really don't so anyway we're just out driving around now that we dropped the Etsy orders off because we just kind of both needed to get out of the house and you know it's tomorrow is Monday so Fred's going to be stuck at the house during the day all day working so I don't think the library is open but we're driving over here to see and I don't know what else we're going to do but we'll let you know guys you know I got to say why do I have the feeling this week that I'm going to be doing a lot of vlogging in the car it's all good though I mean you know I do have a mask and we'll be safe but the Etsy store is suddenly going insane and I had three orders yesterday yay thank you guys and another one I've got another one this morning that's got to go out so yay I love you guys so much um and of course this is finally healing but I have a feeling it's gonna look worse before it gets better these are finally healed I mean there's some red scarring marks but yeah um so yeah I'm in the car it's Monday August 17th it's 1151 a.m okay excited I've already been up for a few hours filmed two videos I've got it one is saving right now the other one I need to edit there'll be two versions there'll be a talking version for my creative year and then there'll be a speed through version for everybody and um so I'm believe doing that but I need to get this order dropped off hey guys good afternoon it is well after lunch I think it's around 130 I'm not sure exactly though Tuesday August 18th I almost said April hello corona brain anyway um I did a live broadcast this morning again we did some slow stitching we made a little cloth basket and a new pin cushion for a collection of pins I just discovered in a drawer I'll insert pictures here I'm gonna head out and go get the mail I'm hoping to go for a walk later today like last like three or four days no three days it's been like blasting hot and so we haven't gone walking I'm really really hoping to go walking today so we'll see I need to get some steps in oh that reminds me like fourth day in a row I forgot to put my Fitbit on hello again corona brain all right I'll be back good morning everybody it's Wednesday morning August 19th I think August 18th I don't even know I know it's Wednesday morning um um obviously I'm in the car I've got my mask I've got just enough hand sanitizer between what's in the car and what's in my bag because I can't remember to fill up the bottle bring it in the house somebody remind me when I get back okay guys so I've spoken about it in vlogs before but there's this little coffee drive-through coffee shop place in McMinnville called a gold rush coffee I think and they have a white chocolate lavender blended mocha it's a cold coffee that they make that I really love a lot um I'd like to do them at home and not always drive to McMinnville although it is a nice drive when we need to get out of the house so I got some white chocolate sauce and some lavender syrup and this morning I made my normal hot cup of coffee and um you totally could do this and put it in a blender with some ice by the way um and I have a k-cup machine and I put it on the biggest setting which is I think 12 ounces of coffee I think um anyway I did that and then I put in a tablespoon of white chocolate sauce and a half a tablespoon or probably like a teaspoon of lavender syrup a teaspoon of sugar whatever your favorite kind of sugar is and some half and half I just stirred it up I didn't make it cold I made it hot and it was really good so I'll be doing that again and you totally could do all that like I said and then put it like in a blender with some ice and that would be like really delicious so I started off my day having this really delicious cup of coffee then I just decided I was going to go do all these errands and try to find things like Clorox wipes which I think I already told you all and I have no idea if I'm going the right way but I guess we'll find out um anyway I scored nine containers three three packs so well I saw wipes at walmart they did not have a limit and then I scored a single container at target they did have a limit I got some more white chocolate sauce I got some bic pens so fun fact my favorite drawing pen is a bic crystal pen plain old bic crystal pen pretty sure I'm going the wrong way um plain old bic crystal pen and I got some of those they come right now because back to school you can get them 10 for night a dollar I found them for 97 cents at walmart so I got three packs of those like it's I'm having a good morning like you know considering how things have been lately right so anyway I'm going to go get the rest of the things done my family keeps texting me with a longer list and we'll see what happens I'll be back hey guys it is what time is it 2 17 p.m. it is still Wednesday what day did we decide it was the 19th I think so anyway I'm going to clean out and see this cabinet right here which is where all the Tupperware is and a few of the baking sheets and things we have a lower cabinet down there where we keep all the chips and snacks and the shelf at the very bottom has spare baking pans in it I ideally like to get everything up there I don't know if it can happen but I do know that one up there is messy I also have this which is the infamous box of tea cups people found out I like tea people passed away I inherited tea cups people give me tea cups same thing happens because people find out I have a tinkerbell tattoo please don't send me any tinkerbell or tea cup happy mail so I have too much now so I'm going to go through the tea cup box I'm going to see if there's some in there I can use around the house to say hold change and keys and they don't have to be used as tea cups I think some of them have to go away I this is ridiculous to have a box of tea cups that never get used my tea cup and coffee cup cabinet is full so other than there may be being a few favorites in here that I will pull out again to use or display or something I think the rest of them just need to go away so let's get to it I've got my bluetooth speaker here and I'm going to turn on a playlist and we're going to get to it I'll be back this it is like 152 or something p.m thursday april april august 20th and I feel raindrops holy cow that's a good thing um anyway I have no excuse for the date screw up because you know I do that normally it's just worse now thank you corona brain anyway um you know when you have creative friends mike deacon and you start chatting with them and they ask you questions and do you think you can get this for me and do you think we can do that and the next thing you know after the conversation you have before you finish your first cup of coffee you're working on a brand new project and a brand new product for etsy and I can't give you any more details in that but yeah there's something coming thanks mike so he's got me off on a tangent I have other things I should be doing but I'm totally absorbed it's right up my alley no mail there should be actually a package but it's evidently not here yet um anyway it's right up my alley but I have other things I should be doing but now I'm working on that so anyway we're it's thursday night we're probably going to go grocery shopping um bob's garage cabinets are coming in like two weeks early they're going to be here saturday so bob is going to see if he can get my parents and or the kids not sure who he's going to get to come help him install them i'm assuming part of that means me because my dad's recovering from his head injury and he can't lift anything so or at least not much anyway um so yeah I guess we have a busy weekend the neighbors are finally having their house painted and I'm assuming that means they're moving in soon so that's all good be nice to finally have people living there um yeah now I got to go back upstairs and make more product samples thanks mike I'm just giving you a hard time it was a really fabulous idea and it's not like I didn't have most of the stuff to do it with already so it's all good we're gonna have fun with it anyways I think I might even have oh I think I have some more of your laser cuts that might work on something too mm-hmm all right okay everybody it's 9 28 august 21st I think pretty sure pretty sure anyway obviously we're in the car again I am off to mail some etsy orders and pick up a few hopefully pick up a few things at a different grocery store that we couldn't find last night because you know that's the new way of things with the pandemic is that you know the supply chain is iffy at best right hey guys I'm gonna stop what I'm doing for a minute and vlog because hello um I didn't vlog too much yesterday because all the kids came over and we had family dinner and game night um that was a lot of fun we stayed up really late playing a new game I can't remember the name of it but I'll insert the one picture I took that I shared on social media last night here it's basically a game of arguing which which was interesting and kind of cathartic to be honest it was a lot of fun we had a lot of fun with it I guess the kids found it at Goodwill for like three bucks or something so anyway yeah I it's a fun game um today we are waiting on my husband's cabinet delivery I'll get you some footage when those come yay um they're like two weeks early so the cabinets are coming today um I'm trying to get some stuff done up here while we're waiting I um which I'll talk about in a minute because I'm assuming this afternoon I'll be helping him unpack the pallets and rearranging things and I think my parents are coming tomorrow so dad and I can help Bob install the cabinets Bob's hoping to get it done tomorrow so that he can sort of spend the rest of the week um you know putting his garage back together he's you know not super happy with having his garage you know in five million different locations right now which I don't blame him because I was that way with the art room when we first moved in and it took them almost three months to put the floor and um yeah so lows and flooring and yeah just don't go there if you don't have to um um anyway so we're doing that and so I'm trying to get some business stuff done up here we will be rebranding um the art business and um all my social media some of it's going to be going away some of it's staying and getting revamped um new logos well I shouldn't say that we're finally getting a logo we really haven't had one in all the years I've had a creative business I've been undecided about logos and I can help create them for other people but creating them for myself is a challenge I'm trying to um garner some new habits to help me with that a little bit um and one of those is creating mini mood boards uh for where my creativity and my business is going or I want it to go and I'm going to be adding those to my planner and when I can I'll start sharing them actually I think over in my Facebook group a life of art and self-expression and we'll do a video on it and all that stuff um but yeah I'm creating some mini mood boards and actually type written goal business goals I've got a 14 page proposal for my daughter to read and for you I'll ask I didn't just ask her because she's my kid I mean that's part of the reason but she's in advertising and marketing and graphic design this is what she does for a living so I finally said can you help me because I can't do this by myself anymore and it's too much I'm all over the place I'm in too many places and I'll give you all a hint one of the keywords simplify right so um putting your energy where it's making the most good I think is what she said something like that it's all anyway working on that today so I'm trying to clear out the clutter out of my planner there's a bunch of bunch of junk in there I've just been shoving stuff in there for months and um there's some projects in there I'm no longer participating in and things like that it all needs to go I need to redo the planner and so I'm working on that today and I may actually just order myself some new inserts while I'm at it rather than make them I know I might use what I have for the moment and just relabel things but yeah I know right um I might make them and use my own artwork again shocking so anyway so I'm going to be working on that and I may or may not chat with friends we'll see um apps time allows and as they I mean it is Saturday they're busy with their families so but anyway I'm going to turn on some music and I'm going to get to it I'll be right I have a couple of other projects coming up I can't talk about but they're huge things and while I'm thinking about it I need I have some typos I need to fix in one of them and the rebranding has to happen like at least the logo part really quick because of one of the projects I'm working on with somebody yeah it's like a big thing there's a lot of stuff happening a lot of stuff so stay tuned I was listening to YouTube and making notes on my to-do list for the rebranding project I've undertaken with my daughter and we started hearing a very large truck backing up in front of our house I think my husband's cabinets are here and they forgot to call him first see that truck I think that's what that is his new cabinets are here pretty sure I was right the cabinets in here holy shit hold on that was unexpected friends cabinets came only they didn't all come anyway the big truck carrier most of them but one key piece the corner cabinet well two key pieces the upper and lower corner cabinet and the countertop all are on a you well they're at ups only two miles away but evidently we have to wait until Monday yeah I don't think so everybody's going to be in our house to install tomorrow so we're going to the ups place to go pick it up and I don't know how that's going to work I drive a Subaru out back hopefully it fits in there currently at the ups distribution center in to all it in I'm kind of hoping they can find Bob's box and we can get it but I guess we'll see okay so we did take a little bit of a drive to go see if we could get the cabinet did we get the cabinet Fred no you're not going to the freaking cabinet no because it's not really into Wellington it's in Portland we were lied to we were lied to so we talked to the guy at the Tualatin distribution center he's just going to make a note instead of them holding it they're going to just put it on a truck and deliver it when it comes in we won't get it until Monday it's in a trailer somewhere he said you can't even like even go over there and try to get it because it's like locked up in a trailer somewhere so we put everything on hold until next weekend but next weekend Fred gets his the start of his new garage in the meantime he can unpack what we did get and make sure all of that is good and nothing is dented or broken or anything so let's hope anyway we stopped at the hardware store to pick up some tools that we're going to need and now we're headed home and it's Saturday but it's not it's Sunday morning I forgot to close the vlog oops probably because it didn't go the way Saturday didn't exactly go the way I thought it was going to I thought that we were gonna get all of Bob's cabinets and then unpack them and then first thing this morning get started on the installation it didn't turn out that way in the meantime I'm also working on a bunch of business rebranding stuff and yeah holy cow anyway it's been a week I hope you've had a good week I mean you know it didn't go as expected but it wasn't a bad week for us but I hope you've had a good week even if things didn't go as expected
