It’s Sunday!

It’s raining. I will not be swimming today. It’s not the rain stopping me as I love to swim in the rain. It’s the fact that I know I’d be alone in the water and I just don’t like that idea. So I’m skipping swimming for today.

Derrick just called me and he has fantastic news! Mario Barth, the tattoo artist to the stars, is hiring Derrick and two other band members to play backup for Mario’s two-man band in Austria! Derrick went out there a few months back and now he gets to go again. This time it’s for about 10 days and he’ll be in Vienna, which I’ve just learned is the capital of Austria.

Derrick’s entire trip is paid for, flights, private room, food and whatever else Mario has up his sleeve (no tattoo pun intended, lol). Last time, Mario booked sightseeing tours for the band and spoiled them rotten. On top of this, Derrick makes a nice chunk of money. Just so incredibly happy that he gets to experience stuff like this! His trip is coming up soon. I think he said he leaves August 5.

And no, Derrick does not have any tattoos. I don’t think he even wants any.

Since I’m staying home today, I plan on cooking some rice for my mother to freeze. And I want to start a crocheted afghan video. This will be Derrick practice video that he will be editing for me. That video won’t be out for a while because I want to complete the series (or it might be all in one video) before I upload any part of it. And Derrick needs time to edit. Not sure if we can get this done before his trip. But it will happen at some point, so stay tuned!

And don’t worry, I will still be recording and uploading videos while waiting for the afghan video! I’m not going to make you go weeks with nothing. I’ll still be doing other stuff like car vlogs, tag alongs, chats, shit like that.

Since it’s a very dark and gray day, I really need to take advantage of that and record for ASMR. I like it when it’s not too bright. I love to record during the late night hours, but I can’t be sure that I’ll feel up to it by then. And with my health woes (that’s a patreon exclusive topic), I get tired half way through the day then it’s hard for me to do anything else.

Here’s what I have on the blog and youtube since my last update…
