Trips for YouTube part 2 (still no vids though)

#2 - Kansas It obviously has been a LONG time since I've been on a "real" road trip...COVID has seen to that. Even now, I'm still not going in stores, still not eating out, still not going anywhere but work, but I needed to take a road trip for my own sanity. I miss my trips because they are my "thinking time"...the time I use to clear my head. After the first cemetery visit though, I was more than leary because it wore me out both physically and mentally and the thought of travelling a few hundred miles was definitely pushing it. I had been buying snacks and drinks (I have quit drinking Cokes, I'm still not sure of the reason why, I just decided to stop), with the intention of going to Kansas every weekend, but weekend after weekend passed and I never went...I just kept eating the snacks at home and drinking the water and the bottled unsweetened tea. Most weekends, I would leave work early on Fridays with the intention of getting up early on Sat...

Trips for YouTube (just still not posting to YouTube)

#1 and #3 - Elmwood Cemetery I have to learn to edit videos, so as of now, they are just sitting on a hard drive doing nothing, but I have been taking my trips to start my YouTube Channel. In the meantime, I thought I'd give some highlights here with my pictures. I didn't do a very good job with taking pictures because I was so nervous...it's been a LONG time since I've been out anywhere, but I guess time will tell if the video is better! Considering the quality of these pictures, now I'm a bit nervous for the video quality! The first trip I took was to Blytheville, the town of my birth, the town where my father lived for most of my life, and the town where my grandparents spent most of their lives (and are buried). I have never been to their graves and I had no clue where to look, so the first time I went down there, was a bust. I'm not much on the whole "visiting family graves". I don't go to funerals, I'm the person who stays hom...

I've been baaaad!

When it comes to spending money lately, I've been an angel. Every dime I make has been going on paying down my credit cards. But today, I slipped...bad. There is only one Once Upon A Time Funko I don't have, the Regina SDCC 2015 Funko. Obviously, I've never been to Comic Con, reason #1 why I don't have that particular Funko, but I've been following it on eBay for years. At first, it was in the $200 range, but there was NO WAY I was going to pay that much for a Funko, which is reason #2! Over the years, it's only increased in value, so I just decided it wasn't worth paying that much for a piece of plastic. My most valuable Funko hops back and forth between an Ursula one and Lotso, but neither breaks the $250 barrier. Obviously, you guys know me...I don't collect things for their value, but Funko does have a cool app, so I do like that I can keep track of what Funkos I have and their current value. I wish every major collectible did that. I'...

Wow, over a month since my last post!

I've been really busy, but not in the way you would think. I've finally started one of the giant princess diamond paintings from Diamond Art Club, and I'm working it REALLY slow. I started Aurora first and I probably should have started one of the smaller ones in my stash first instead of the practically life-size ones, but oh well. I don't really have pictures because I'm not taking pictures routinely like I do with cross stitch. I've also been filming videos for my upcoming YouTube Channel, but I haven't learned how to edit videos yet, so I just have a hard drive full of vids. Well, technically, I have memory cards full of vids...I haven't transferred them over to the hard drive I bought to store them yet. Follow through hasn't been my strong suit lately. I have started weening myself off the zombie drugs. My therapist has me seeing a nurse practioner now and she has me on other stuff too (non-zombie). The NP wanted to talk to my neurolo...
