Happy Sunday! It’s supposed to be HOT in Sanford, Maine over the next few days. I have no clue what the temp is right now, but I have the AC cranked because it was hot when I got up to go to the bathroom this morning (then crawled right back into bed… my couch). I guess I can check the temp. Hmmm, it says 85 with a high of 91. That’s way too hot for me! I got a little bit of stuff done around the house again yesterday. Not much, but I was able to bring more stuff upstairs. Just moving shit from one floor to the other. I hate that it’s all cluttering up a different room, but glad it’s not in my living space. I hope to do even more today. I also uploaded two videos yesterday. One was to explain what my channel will look like over the next 6 weeks with Skylar here. There will be plenty of content during her Maine vacation, but the content will be different than my normal schedule. You can learn more about all that here. The other video is part of my Can I “Blank” This Shit series where the word “blank” is replaced by various forms of crafting. This time it was Can I Roll This Shit. I took adhesive shelf liner and test it for rolling beads. It was a huge success! And I experimented more with that after uploading the video and I already have some new ideas to share. I might do a quick follow up video today because I’m just so excited about this new craft. And yes, there are always some who are totally offended by my shit series. They don’t like the word. They are appalled that I put it in the title and the thumbnail. I get that. I really do. Everything I do on my channel is well thought out and calculated. It’s not by accident that I use that word the way I do and make it the focus of that series. It’s planed and scheduled. It attracts my kind of audience. Viewers who like that sort of stuff are usually quite devoted. That’s what I need in the peanut gallery. Devoted audience members who love to watch my shit. I must keep the watch time growing! Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that I really do have a filthy mount. Feels so good to use it. As for today, I’d like to hit Dollar Tree to pick some more stuff up for Skylar. Then I want to pre-record a Tipster Tuesday and schedule it to come out on Tuesday. It never dawned on me to schedule things in advance like that so I could still have regular content for when Skylar is here. I will for sure plan that for next summer. I also would like to start my new quilt block series where I embellish a block. Those videos should be super quick so maybe I can record a few of those today too and schedule them out. I really think I want to do a follow up video on the shelf liner beads. Oh, and I can pick more of the shelf liner up today at Dollar Tree! And maybe a Doodle Reload? I have not moved a doodle to my main channel in a while. Plenty to do! Let’s get started! Have a great Sunday!

Happy Saturday! I did something very different last night. I turned the comments off my new video before I even published it. I have turned comments off before, but only after a video got lots of comments that were driving me crazy. This time, I didn’t even want to deal with the comments because I knew I’d get so many, including hate, which I don’t mind as much as those who try to help. I begged for people to not leave me any comments at all about the video, not under other videos, not on facebook, not via private messages and not via email. Of course, some did that just the same. Of course. Because… people must do that stuff I guess. Once person left me such a horrid message that involved a certain loved one of mine and I do NOT tolerate that in any way, shape or form. Leave my loved ones out of it. She got a once word reply from me. Yes, that word. Felt good. Then I hid her comments so only she can see it. Four other people commented under my video on facebook. All of those got hidden too because I know for a fact others would chime in either in my defense or to agree. I don’t want any conversations about it. The comment that I hated the most was the one that said “it’s okay.” That’s all it said. If you know me at all, you know I hate shit like that. Fuck a bunch of okay. Just fuck it. What a ridiculous way to shrug off what I was going through. I’m not even going to show you the video. You know where to find it if you want it. I uploaded it for three reasons. One, because I know someone else out there will see themselves in me and it might help them to know they are not the only ones who feel the way they do about certain shit. Two, videos like that are usually great for views. And this one is proving to be just that. Three, I’m very curious to see if not allowing comments on that video with have any effect on earnings. And I think I will be testing this again and again any time I have a video on a certain topic that I have no interest in getting comments on… which is just about every video I upload. Can you tell I’m not social? Just not. Nothing wrong with that. People drive me fucking crazy, and if I can be on youtube with no comments, that would be just too awesome. You see, I use youtube as therapy, as my own personal platform where I am completely free to say what I want. I’ve been stifled my entire life and when I did try to talk, I always got talked back to. That’s the reason I want no conversations, no smart ass slaps in the face, no inconsiderate “it’s okay” attempts of kindness. None of it. I hate it all. If I had to choose between a highly successful channel where I had to constantly put myself through the misery of the social aspect of youtube, or have a channel with zero views yet be free to say whatever I want to say with no worries about dealing with the aftermath, I choose the freedom channel with no views. It’s like being let out of prison and being dropped off on a tropical island all alone. No prison walls and no people to deal with. That would be heaven.

TGIF! Tuesday is going to be here so soon! So much to do! Today, I really must get the front room straightened out. That’s where both Skylar and I sleep. It’s a mess. Yesterday, I didn’t get any cleaning accomplished. I did, however, put my new shower head thing on. I will be testing it today. Pretty sure I will like it. As long as it sprays water on me, that’s all I need. Didn’t I do anything else yesterday that needed to be done? Please tell me I did more than the shower head! lol I think that was it. So sad. As for stuff I normally do, I uploaded 3 videos, but they were quickies. One was for some Fat Quarters I had on hand to sell. As soon as I put that notice on youtube, they sold immediately. I didn’t even have time to put the notice on facebook. The fabric is in the mail to its new homes! The second one was another Snippets of My Life video. Nothing exciting. Just boring stuff that I captured over 3 days. I’ll have to start doing exciting things just so I can continue that series. lol Then I ended by putting a few things on ebay. Just trying hard to move some stuff because it all gathers up quick. I have the Wonky Quilt and two Tote Bags up for grabs. These are auction format and it looks like at least two of the items will find new homes. Happy about that! Today, not sure. Changing my toilet seat. Oh, and yes, the front room. I seriously need to do that. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to just get stuff done. It brings down. It brings me so down that it makes me not even enjoy my work that I love so much. Oh well. Just sucks. I can live with that. lol As for videos, no clue! None at all. I’d love to say Upcycled Fashions, but that seriously might get put on hold until Skylar’s visit is over. Those take me so long to record and to edit. I just don’t see myself having the time to do that. I did want so much to knock one out before she arrives. Have a great Friday!
