"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys welcome back happy Tuesday so kicking off a vlog here today it's about 4:30 just got home from work it has been a very very long day I've been up since 4:15 a.m. uh this morning my parents and my grandpa went to Mexico so they had to leave at the codon and I was the airport ride so uh it's been a long day um after the airport I decided to just go to work early and drive to one of the furthest parts of my territory and knocked that out feel so complished so very tired but it was so worth it my phone is I thought my phone was vibrating so I was like what's going on absolutely nothing nothing is going on my phone was not vibrating I had a phantom vibration sensation oh that rhym um but yeah no totally in my imagination fun so anywh who um today I I have to clean I don't want to clean I really don't want to clean but it probably needs to be done and then the only other thing on my agenda is well I should probably do a laundry of avoid a laundry like the plague it's it's been too long and I need to do it um and then I need to relax because you guys I am sick and tired of myself I I just I don't respect my own time that is the only explanation for what is going on because I am scheduling myself during all of my free time after work guess what I've got planned like hey I haven't seen you a while what do you want to do I'll come over after work why I'm exhausted let's plan it for another day but no no no no no no why put off what I could do right now so um after work scheduling myself weekend scheduling myself and scheduling myself so much that it's even bleeding into the mornings before work um really not looking out for myself here um but I'm almost done with the things that I have already committed to I definitely need to be um protecting my piece a bit more with just um being a bit more aware of what I can realistically handle like in a time frame you know what I mean not that I can't do these things but maybe like some of the things I'm agreeing to like I could do next week you know like maybe I don't need do everything immediately um that's just kind of what I'm realizing because your girl's overwhelmed also in case anyone was wondering I'm sure none of you are but one of my Hallmark shows I mentioned my last video that my TV just would not load good news it's loading I'm back on track and I'm watching all of my episodes again so life is going swell so I wanted to show you guys look at the size lens of or like camera lens that I was using so this is a 24 to 105 like focal length and for reference one I usually use is a 50 okay so the 50 is about this big like the 50 ends here like that is it so all of this additional length is just wild like it's practically the same weight as the camera like this is just gigantic but like you literally when I take the pictures I have to like support the lens like usually it's just this when I take with this I have to like oh it's crazy also you need I have to use a tripod for this bad boy also have this like gigantic tripod that is like it lives to be taller than me I have to use like a step stool I feel like it probably is so comical watching me do this on a step stool with this gigantic like tripod and this gigantic like camera I feel like I just I must look totally dwarfed by the equipment because um if I feel crazy I must look so much crazier I've now to decided to take on Brown in new way so I've now as of yesterday I am the prown owner of a new Brown like laptop case and keyboard cover thingy um yeah I decided to order it online my old case was all scratched up wasn't cute so I decided to just buy a new one and I just had a clear case and yeah all scratched up and now I'm kind of feeling like look at my Otter Box do you see this do you see how like brown this is you guys this was clear and I don't know if you can really see in the reflection but this thing is so scuffed up and like again this is clear it's so dirty it's literally starting to look like so Brown it's like starting to look black that's alarming so I'm starting to feel like maybe it's just time for a new phone case too and I'm I'm thinking about just going with brown again am I getting into my neutral era it's possible I feel like that was super popular like a year or two ago and well I'm late to every Trend to be honest but I think I'm going to do it think I'm ready to commit so it's about an hour later and I feel so accomplished vacuumed um unload the dishwasher reloaded the dishwasher did some laundry uh tidied up took out all the trash took the bends to the curb for pickup tomorrow and now I just have a few other things I want to tidy but for the most part I'm done so feeling great about that now I am Doom scrolling on Zillow Zillow is my new biggest time suck the issue I'm finding is that I'm finding the perfect houses right I have found several but they're all in the wrong cities so um they exist I know they exist but they're in all the cities that we don't want to live in the cities that we do want to live in or we're open to living in do they not have like similar homes are they just not for sale like I don't know what's going on we found a lot of similar things but just not quite we have made some hasty decisions with house buying in the past and things backfired so this time around we want to take our time we want to make sure that the house is right it has everything that we want everything that we need because the goal is to be in this house for several years I mean hopefully our forever home so that's what I'm keeping in mind so yes we could settle to just move and get on to the next chapter but I would really like Dar and I have discussed it in in depth and we both feel that it is more worthwhile to just be patient now wait for the right one because it will come we've got packages UPS UPS just came dropped some things off see here I'm thinking this first one is a work package got a lovely shipment of uh printed Flyers that I ordered from our marketing thing and let's see what this is okay it's like a really lightweight box but like fairly big oh my gosh really okay um I ordered this from like my my company we can like order um different like work gear and things like that I ordered this laptop case for my work computer like yesterday like 400 p.m. 24 hours later it's here interesting wow that was fast um so I ordered a Kensington what's it called Kensington neoprene sleeve this is a 15.6 in uh my computer I think is like 14 so it should fit perfectly in here oh has a little strap so inside side it has uh the main pocket and then also has this little flap situation and then the front has a zipper pocket and the zipper pocket has a little section for pens over here and then a little business card slot so um some pretty good space in here now I guess we'll put on the little the little thing the little strap this is excellent cuz I have just like my regular work back and I'll just like throw my laptop in there and it's it's fine but I feel like it's going to get just scratched up with me put putting things in and out and in and out and oh wait this thing is curved so oh yeah cuz I hold it on that shoulder okay yeah I did it the right direction um so I'm thinking it would just be not nice right yeah it would just be nice to have a like designated place for my laptop does this just rip off oh yeah that just rips off perfect yay well I'm very excited about this crazy ship time I mean that was some like Amazon level ship time I'm very impressed look how good the backyard is looking so we have the pizza oven and this is like a drink cooler thing the whole outdoor kitchen and then this is like a little seating area by the fireplace and you guys can probably start to see the vibe from like this perspective and then over here the big bench that they're um building um that's going to be built in they're thinking about making it like uh storage under the seat and stuff um and then I guess another slight new addition is it's not finished yet but but my dad has cemented a step here because it's kind of steep if you guys can see that but it's all the way up here so it's like midcalf I know it might not look too too tall but this is actually quite a step up so my dad pours me and built a step but he's going to be I don't know exactly what he's doing but he's going to be finishing it so that it looks um it just looks cleaner hi Miss AIDS hi beautiful girl what are you doing what are you doing what you bring oh hi hunties oh I oh okay all right it's yours my mistake when the cement was first poured and the dogs couldn't go outside they were like losing their mind they could not cope with the idea that they had lost privileges of going outside it was just too much for them to handle calling it a day so just filled up my water just grab grabbed um we have these like flexible like reusable um zip blocks have you guys seen these things they're they're really cool um I have my spicy vodka like creamy spicy vodka pasta It's that Gigi Hadid recipe um I'm obsessed with it um I do a whole bunch of extra onion whole bunch of extra garlic but other than that I stick to the recipe very good made this last night this is the extra and I'm going to be eating it for dinner full transparency I'm probably eating it cold because guess what I'm too lazy to even microwave you want to know how lazy I am this is microwave safe I could microwave it in this but am I going to no because it's too much work it's simply too much work and I'm simply too lazy so taking my water taking my Deo meal I probably need a fork and we're going to go watch My Hallmark show When Calls the Heart that's right getting back to it the pups are right here with me they are going to be joining me on this outing huh guys we're not outing but this new activity huh you guys ready we're going to snuggle huh we're going to snuggle and we're going to watch the show and we're going to have a nice cozy evening in huh yeah so that's a plan for the rest of the evening and I'll see you guys in the morning good morning party people happy Wednesday so it's Wednesday morning right now in the middle of getting ready why did I put away my blush I haven't used that yet to started putting away like some of my makeup items I haven't yet used um this morning um things have gone better in my life yesterday I had an inkling that I was starting to get a little sick um a couple of my family members got sick from my niece Leila she she goes to fairy tale town and the zoo and a few other places multiple times a week like practically daily and um she loves it but of course she's being constantly exposed to like germs and things like that and so she's been picking up some things and she's been bringing it home and then um they come over for dinner I'd say at least once a week where she transfers them to us so uh yeah a few other people were sick first I thought that I managed to escape without getting sick however yesterday I took a deep breath in and I don't know if this happens to you guys when you're sick but when I'm sick like air smells different like I can like tell there's a difference between how air like smells or tastes when I'm sick versus when I'm healthy so that's usually one of my first indications that I'm getting sick so yesterday air was smelling different started to have a very very very mild sore throat and then in general was just feeling slightly off and um that has kind of carried on to today today's not too too bad but it's like it's slowly creeping in a little worse than yesterday um I did snooze my alarm and slept in extra like 30 minutes today and then I was like okay I really need to get up I just really needed the extra rest and I'm glad that I did get it um so hopefully I'll be able to kick this pretty fast I did order on Amazon the thing that I usually do that saves me so this is it and it's this like homeopathic like medication stuff so the goal is sort of like emergency as soon as you feel a little amount of like ooh I might be getting sick you should start taking it and then um it basically just sometimes it can kick the sickness before you even fully get sick um or if you're already getting sick it helps you fight it faster and it also really assists with like the symptoms um it'll be here tomorrow um so I'm going to take it and I'm going to make Darren take it because he's not feeling sick and I want to make sure that he doesn't get sick from me if he hasn't already um it's always the transitional Seasons that that get me you know I got my new company laptop and this may sound familiar because in the past 11 months this is my fourth company laptop isn't that great so first I got my initial company laptop right and then um it started like um crashing and it would crash before sometimes before I could even log in sometimes I'd be super quick I'd log in and while it was like loading the like desktop it would crash and then so then I had to replace it I replaced it things were going smooth and then like a month or two later our company decided to switch out all of our um like hardware for just replace all laptops replace all the phone you know all that jazz so then I had that one was fine but I had to send it back because we were switching so then I got laptop number three laptop number three is what I have right now and um then we had to do some like updates on the computer and it did something to my computer my computer's now like tweaking but it also won't connect to Wi-Fi so I've worked with so many it people I swear I know everyone in the IT department now and we just can't figure it out so they sent me computer number four that um well hopefully we'll be able to connect to Wi-Fi and won't be glitching out so now I have to do the whole setup but you know it's not just like a regular laptop where you know you turn it on you set it up you're good to go because it's a company one we have to set up like the VPN and connect to all the different company sites and clouds and things emab Bobbers so um I have this like multi-page thing of like instruction list of everything I have to do and I'm just so stressed about it real nervous about it because when I had to do that for the current computer I have I mean I was on the verge of like an emotional breakdown like nothing stresses me out more than setting up new technology when I get a I I will keep a phone until like it is absolutely not functional for reference I had an iPhone 5 from when the iPhone 5 first came out until the iPhone 11 okay this phone was barely working I could have easily afforded a new phone I had trade-ins I had like it wasn't an issue of like oh I can't get one it was I will not put myself through that and you know what I didn't Darren got so fed up because my phone like even stopped receiving incoming calls and he's like I can never contact you more than half the text I was sending like wouldn't send and he's like your phone is not functional but I refused and so he went to the store bought the new phone brought it home and he was like I will set it up for you but like I can't do this like for my sanity you need a new phone and so he set it up for me so um I've been stressing out about setting up this computer because um I just I hate setting up technology once it works things are fine it's just the setup process so with that being said today I'm starting my morning very calm before I take on the laptop situation I'm going to make myself an herbal tea I'm going to put on some like really calm music and I'm just really going to try to set the scene to keep myself in a very Zen situation okay you guys it has been so many hours it's almost 1:00 right now I literally just finished I literally just finished setting up the laptop it was I was having so many issues setting it up I don't know why this happens but it's definitely not the first time where when I have step-by-step directions and there're like photos I click whatever you're supposed to click and then there are supposed to be like certain options and then you make a selection it's like all those options come up except for the one I'm supposed to click on once I got up and running it wouldn't connect to Wi-Fi so called it they couldn't figure it out um I ended up uh calling one of my team members and actually they were able to help me like troubleshoot it why they knew more than it unclear but they fixed it so that's up and running I have now packed up my previous computer nice little lovely UPS box and now I need to go return this so knew this was going to be a long process but um I did not think quite this long so um I I mean I'm going to hit some accounts today but um I'm behind schedule to say the least so uh a little bit stressed but that's okay I think I'm going to make myself another cup of coffee take it to go and just go accomplish as much as I can and that's just going to have to be good enough enough for today cuz that's just how the day has shaken out so any who I'm going to go ahead and end the video here I feel like yesterday today I just said so chatty that this video has um gotten a little bit long so we're going to end it here thank you guys so much for watching if you haven't already don't forget subscribe below give video a big thumbs up
