It’s Wednesday!

Before I forget, my Pink & Brown Rag Quilt auction ends tonight!  I just realized that! You can check the current bid here.

I have not posted a daily chat since Sunday. That’s because 1. we had a 13 hour power outage on Monday due to a wind storm (many are still without power in Maine) and 2. I’m sick.  I thought I was on the mend but I feel worse today than yesterday.  But not bad enough to keep me for working. I’ll just rest more, so maybe like 10 minutes of rest instead of 5 minutes. lol  Hmmm… thinking I might do more resting than that.  But very glad I’m not as sick as I was on Monday.

I was able to keep up with my daily uploads on youtube throughout the storm and my illness. I’m a fucking trooper! It’s more like I’m just your typical workaholic.  I mentioned in one of my uploads that work too the place of booze for me.  It’s what dulls my senses so I can get through life.

On Monday I recorded a Tag Along to Walmart because I needed some cooked meat to eat since we had no power and I could not cook.  I wasn’t even hungry but new I had to eat something. Still not hungry. This flu or whatever is messing with my stomach.

On Tuesday I recorded an Update Vlog and I did something totally different with that!  I did just a quick edit and left all my flubs and word stumbles in the footage and didn’t cut any scenes or my brilliant use of 4 letter words.  I also added some commentary.  Then I uploaded that version for my $3+ patrons on patreon.  I typically delete a lot of footage when I edit which means there are times entire scenes get deleted. Thought maybe my patrons would like to see those deleted scenes.  Then I edited the video down more and I uploaded that version, the version it would have normally been, to youtube for my peanut gallery audience. I will try that again with certain videos.  Here is the edited version of youtube for anyone to watch.  Here is my patreon page if you think you might like to pledge $3.00 per month to watch my mostly uncut and totally uncensored version.

I have not done much more than that.  Just was not up to it or was not able due to no electricity. But I’m on the mend so expect greatness soon! lol  Very anxious to start my crochet series!

It’s Sunday!

I will be super busy getting packages ready for tomorrow’s pickup. I won’t have them all ready, but I might get at least half done.

I am feeling like shit today.  Friday I didn’t eat right. I only had one steak meal and that was very late in the day. That totally threw me off.  Then yesterday I opted for chicken, kielbasa and ground beef soup. That tore my tummy up big time. I’m so used to beef in the form of steak that the kielbasa was too strange for my system and I find I don’t do well with chicken either. Amazing how these foods probably always disagreed with me but I just never knew. When you cut back to almost only beef, you find out quick that other foods are pretty much toxic. At least for me.

My anxiety is also through the roof.  It’s like I can’t even catch my breath and I’m so sick to my stomach, that motion sickness kind of feeling.  I’m resting as much as I can but I have a ton of shit to do and can’t take the day off.

Yesterday, I was able to finish the Denim & Muslin Rag Quilt and I love how it turned out. It will be on eBay soon.  I also recorded a Potty Mouth Snippets of My Day for my patrons, and it’s not too potty mouthed. lol
