Today Is Saturday November 30, This Is What Happen

I promise a few that I was going to post about Yule and return of the sun or the light in all of all of us.
I plan to only do to two vlogs in month of December. Not sure exact dates some where between the 3rd and the 23rd. But the rest of the time I will be doing blog post.
I got both side cover with blogmas and vlogmas.
I am posting every day until Christmas. Hopeful I can figure out how to lighten my video. Still have goal of getting 100 subscribers to my CHANNEL

I don't do Black Friday. But I do Small Business Saturday, which only took me an hour to cover my shopping.

First stop was LARSON to get my Grand daughter new outfit. the little ones was 25% off and my oldest grand daughter who will be four in April, came off clearance rack.

Then went book store, BONNER BOOKS which is not put out there though any part of the web. I got book on local explore or our Lewis and Clark. DAVID THOMPSON

Very last place was UNDER THE SUN and I thought of getting apron but nothing spoke to me at the prices they want for them.
But I did find some dishtowels buy one and get the second one for half price.

Also there quite a few fun items there. I bought this it called "Total Eclipse Of The FART" lavatory mist. It lilac and amber scent with instruction..."Whether you farted or poop, it can smell really bad. There something you can do______ Total Eclipse of the fart.

Quick mist cure the air of foul orders. Over 500 application in every bottle.

Well hubby went down to Ponderay to the Walmart and I thought it would be crowded with people. well his report said it wasn't. And not many in my local area was taking part in Small Business Saturday. The book store had the most people in it.

This is rest of items I got. I did have a cup of coffee and biscotti then came home. And no my Christmas shopping isn't done.

Today Is Friday November 29, This Is What Happen.

Thanksgiving went off with no trouble. Had a wonderful time and there were six adults and 2 lovely little girls, grand daughter who gathered.

Got home early enough to be brave and made some Turkish coffee. So I wouldn't have trouble falling asleep. It came out really good.
I like peppermint schnapps in hot cocoa, but the cocoa usual has diary in it. Not friendly with me. But I like to find liquor that would compliment cardamon spice.

Today we got our first Christmas from a set of my second Cousin who lives just North of Spokane. They said there probably won't be hosting the family reunion in July.
The family gathering is decline and there serve reason why this happens.

Been working, organizing and putting together my bullet journal. The only thing I need to do is put in the month of June and weeks of June.
Well that it for calendar part.

But then I like to put in some trackers, although I am way past this stage. But there plenty room for improvement.

Goal pages.

When at work I some time to keep my self calm I eat, more of nervous eating. I pretty much stay the same when come to my weight.
I try to go to work with eating plan. Bring my own lunch with four healthy items. Today I brought nothing stop of at deli, usual limited items I can have. Most of them have diary in them. So I had six potato wedges and same amount in chicken nuggets.
One would call it a type of anxiety eating. See I don't do any drugs, in my younger days I did my share. And when it come to drinking booze. Like a six pack of beer will last 3 to 6 months. In hot summer months my hubby and I will split a beer.
The 5th (750ML) hard liquor will last one to two years.
But I have to give my self credit I have develop some better health habits.

Off to Small Saturday tomorrow and still need to get my video up also. I won't promise but these two department I need to do.
Starting Bologna's on Dec 1 and I guess I will also do two video for vlogmas before Christmas.

Today Is Wednesday November 27, This Is What Happen

A long day at work, and I am taking tomorrow off. So I can take part in Thanksgiving merriment. And will go to work on Friday.
I just don't do Black Friday. But I am one who does SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY I try to keep my money in our local community though out the year.

Between blogmas and vlogmas. Simple post every day from Dec 1 til Dec 25. Nothing wrong with that and possible even meet some new people.
But what bothers me they make sound like your going to make tons of money. Enough you can quite you day job

These rates are for pro bloggers and hobby blogger. The difference between a hobby and pro is. The hobby one can't quite there day job.
I figure for me I would be mainly in the olive green section. Maybe once in great while in lower end of yellow.
I sort of looking to you tube and it pretty much the same story of blogging.
I guess a blog, journal and a diary can fall under the same HEADING
Confession time...I find those blogs that are saturated with ads frustrating and leave them quickly. 

Been working on setting up my bullet journal. About ready to set up May.

Today Is Tuesday November 26, This Is What Happen

Home scale I was down and the ones at T.O.P.S was up. So I will call it a draw. I was ask why I don't use a kettle to heat my water up. I real don't know. I honestly don't know any Americans that use a tea kettle. They nuke there water in microwave.

It our holiday we America give Thanks. American Thanksgiving is this  coming Thursday and I will be going down to my son in law.

But as I was younger we would gather at one my Aunts and Uncle homes or some big ole shed. Have lovely time with all my cousin. This was from mom side.
I have 27 first cousin though my moms side. It quite common to have a lease 50 plus human in building.
Those days are long gone.

Like I am getting less intolerant of those who to far right. I wouldn't bet the farm they would tolerate my ideal either political or religious.
"Yes" one my relative post this. So I becoming quite "Thankful" that we hardly gather as family. I can see it becoming quite ugly.
But a quick side note. I have notice those who are strong Trump supports are un-ware and un-educated. Here a little PROOF

History. I am fasnated by all sort of history, every part of it. but I have to wonder about Queen Victoria GRANDCHILDREN who also were quite divided.Could they be a theological or philosopical reason behind a divide in the world.

Last night I was watch this you tube video on vlogmas and I start to wonder if there is a blogmas. There is one. And everyone have a different ideal and what it all about. Some say do some holiday base vlog or blog post. Then other say it doesn't matter.
So I know what a blog and a vlog is. But I wasn't sure what or where the suffix "Mas" come from and holiday sacred day. So I can think of a few words ending in mas. Lovmas, friendmas, kindmas, and now it time to possible use some real words. Not made up words such as Martinmas.
There brief talk about making money though blogs and vlogs. I sure wouldn't give up my day job.
I usual post every day. So I bet I can post between my blog and vlog from December 1 to the 25th

Today Is Monday November 25, This Is What Happen

Don't recall how I found it on google, well there a lot of cool stuff I bump into on google. I thought this was interesting, THE WORLD LETTER
I looked into a little bit. But I would be clueless what I would say in letter to world.
I known people who have wrote a letter to there self. Which I never done.

Weigh in at my local weight lost group. I mange to get a morning walk in. Recorded what I ate, mood, and still need to put a few other things water and steps.
look like I taken about 5,900 steps so far. There still time to get in more steps.

Work went ok, nothing new. With my line of work excitement isn't something one needs or want.

It been a while since I took anything to the thrift store. I went to our basement pantry and took things that I haven't use for a very long time.
One thing that went was tea pot that you heat on stove. If I want hot water I usual use the microwave. But it there occasion I will use a regular pan to heat the water in.

I did finish a book FINDING THE LIGHT WITH IN. As most book review or report is more or less someone opinion.
It one of those stories who grew up in Nazi occupied Europe, and her parents died at Auchchwitz and before her mother was send off. She was placed in a Catholic Orphan home.
It a short story of her finding her own light. Although she never went to constration camp there finding of DESCENDANTS OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS

Today Is my daughter in law birthday, she turn 33. We will go down there for Thanksgiving. Hubby Birthday is Wednesday.
I still want to get up a little video on You tube of unboxing with hint of Yule.

Today Is Sunday November 24, This What Happen.

Yesterday I was visit one my regular blog, High Riser and one of his recent post, SUNDAY SELECTION and when he brought up the faith of JEHOVAH WITNESS
Today is day I am going to share my experience of JW, and no I never been one or even came close.
In high school I did visit one of there mid week service. Not sure what actual called it. But I will call it "Testimony Wednesday" not even real sure what day it was.
As we sat in the service. The people were pretty much confessing there sin or short comings. And the ending of everyone was "If it wasn't for lord I would________________.
I was ask if I want or need to give a testimony. I was even polite then. A simple no thank you. What I gave.
Shortly after wards she moved in with a guy and was kicked out of JW religion
Then when they coming banging on your door. If I see them coming up. I grab a small note book and pen.
And no other faith I know of ask about your relationship with Christ, as they do. Before it goes any farther. As I am handing them the note book and pen. I ask them for there name and address so I can come to there door step and preach to them on "Paganism". So far I haven't yet got and address. Confession time...I wouldn't real know what I would of done, if I got one there address.
There been a few time I seen them out public with a nice display of there literature. One day my hubby and I was driving though NEW PORT WASHINGTON and one of them and a female was on street corner, and I was going to give my hubby a ten dollar bill. And I want him to approach her as if she was a hooker.
I wouldn't get him to do it. I just want to see the look on her face.

This Is a good enough time to briefly mention of my retirement goal. It been a while and I mean a while since I mention any thing about my ceramics.
Well after I retire I would like to put in a small studio in my basement and have it open to some what the public, part time
But in all honestly I am in no shape to handle much the molds. I try to look up my larger mold weight and I guess I would have to guess around 30 pounds and that not with clay or slip in it.
I some time struggle when caring larger cat feed bags around.
Simple I let my self get out of shape.

See I been a part of weight lost support system, and I have develop better health habits. But being constant can be anther matter.
I get tired of keeping track of things when it comes to my health.
I lost 20 pounds in 18 months. Haven't lost any more then that. My 2019 goal was to loose .75 pounds a week. 3 pounds of month. My year of end goals was to be down 30 pounds.
Am I giving up? "No"

This afternoon we went and visit with Quenella. She gave me three of her advent calendar that her children had.
This one I am sending down to Medford to my middle grand daughter. I bought three advent calendar with milk chocolate for each of them.
Plus I am tossing in my finely ground coffee for my Turkish coffee I can have when down there for Christmas.

Today Is Saturday November 23, This Is What Happen

Our local community had four of there local holiday craft show. My goal was to get something little for my son's in laws. But couldn't find anything for them.
But there a few more shortly coming up.

First one we went to was at one of local Mennonite churches. One reason I went to have a bowl of chili with corn bread and pie.

I want to pick 8 by 8 pan of it to bring home. I got some fresh press apple cider. 

Liz and Regis both got some books. 

Then we went to the vintage one. Some of there piece I thought was little on high side. But I did mange to pick two items.

My friend Quenella collect angels and I found her one. I don't want to un-wrap it. Plus this time of year they bring out the snow people. And I did find one. They didn't have much for snow people. 

Hope in a little later on I can get couple of photos of items I bought.

Let see Regis bought some smaller cars I think one was from TOOTSIE TOY and Liz got a piece of glass tubing.

Figures what the price range for grand daughter Christmas toy gift. Willing to go between 20 and 30 dollars.

My oldest one will be only getting one toy, her gift is close to the $30 range. The other two there gift is close to $15. So they will get anther toy. 

Been slowly putting together my bullet journal. Funny or strange there all different in how I did them up.

On you tube video, for me personaly I don't like them over 10 minutes long. Over that they seem to start to loose my attention. Well there are some that kept my attention for longer then 10 minutes. Usual I found these that have props.
I visit a varity of blogs, and at first I thought of apologizing that my faith might offend some. But I am not. I wouldn't expect someone to apologize for there political, religious, sexual orientation, political ideology, or of actual much of anything.
Sure there things people should apologize for. But for being who they are no.

Last thing I did on my facebook page last night. Less time on facebook has sure change my level of my collywobbles. Less post of political items.

Looks like I either post, like, commet, or share something 48 times last week. Up from last week and still under my goal of time on facebook.

Goal is to get 100 subscribers to my CHANNEL and I will have give away.

Today Is Thursday November 21, This Is What Happen

I real like my titles now. Lot simpler and I guess starting next year I will have the year to it. When I have a chance I been watch the impeachment trail of our President. As many of you can guess I am not Trump fan.

Been having trouble getting my hours in. Liz had company at this time. Hopeful Saturday I will be able to take my client to some of local craft things.  I believe there four in community. Two of them our both Friday and Saturday.
The one I want to attend is the Mennonite one. Hope to find a gift for my daughter in laws parents and plus they have real good chili with corn bread.
Then the other three is at our fairgrounds, St Ann Catholic Church, and Middle School.
Then I believe this up coming Sunday is our Community Thanksgiving dinner, which is put on by local Christan churches.
Usual I go. But this year I doubt it. I need some home time or non social time.

Liz has company and I haven't gotten my hours in. So hopeful before end of the week I will have my hours in or a lease finish them up.
Ended up coming home early. Regis pretty much has his hours in.
But I know they will enjoy seeing all the crafts and bake good items.
Plus yesterday Murphy wash the curtain from our living room window and he did something to his back.
So he was glad to see me. I finish up the dishes and got load of laundry done.

Last two days we been having blue skies and which been helping my attitude. Been slowly getting things done in bullet journal for 2020. This time I got larger one and figured it will hold a least half of the year. Which will be til end of June.
Made video on Paganism and if all goes right I will have that up tomorrow.

Maybe hopeful I will get my days of week correct. I sure wouldn't hold my breath on that one. But I been some what please with this week so far.
Weigh in at our local T.O.P.S group all of us were down or maintain. I am one who maintain. Today topic was "Does Scale play part in your self image"
Question time...What is your relationship with scales you weigh on? 
For me weighing my self everyday isn't for me. If the scales are up I want to celebrate with food. If the scales are down I want to stuff my mouth in sorrow.
So for me weighing my self everyday isn't benfit me in my weight lost. So for me weighing my self three times a week would be a lot better.
last few days I haven't record over at Fitday. Well I am not going to list all what I haven't done to loose weight.
Simple I haven't been accountable. But I need to get my self credit. I been keeping in my bounds when come to eating, nothing after 7pm until breakfast.

This morning I went and did the paper work for affordable care act. Idaho finely got on the ball and EXPANSION OF MEDICAID. Not sure if I qualify or not. If I don't I will receive some type of subsidy to purchase health care insurance.
I've said we need a one payer insurance option and I still feel people shouldn't get a free ride in life. People should pay 1 to 3 percent of there income for health care.
I know I sound hypocritical about medicaid, and if I get a good offer on subsidy I might stay with private insurances.
But still there problem with private ones. In short terms the private insurance company are just plain greedy.

We pay for Murphy medication although it not all that expensive. We check for insurance that would cover his medication, and best deal we could get was plan for $75 a month. And with $2,000 and something for a deductible.
All of his meds comes nothing to $75 a month, or 2,000 year.
So we're using the app GOOD RX my insurance picks up most of my medication. Thankful I only take 3.

No trouble at work. But I am ready for a few days of clear blue skies. But when that happens the temperture will drop.

Need to continue a little bit more about convention and conference. Maybe I didn't use the correct term on learning where bloggers community may gather.
I've looked at what one would call professional blogs. Statement time...It seem that there was so many ads and pop us it became frustrated to deal with. No thank you.
I have no ideal who any of these people are at the BLOGOSPHERE AWARDS
But there two reason why I blog is for thearpy and fun. Not saying I'm still not interesting possible putting and ad below my post. Or other things on my blog.
But I don't want to write product reviews. Not sayin I wouln't mention some product I been please with. Or something that totally awful.
Plus going back and reading some my old blog post I do see some spelling, grammer, and punctuation errors
I now ran into term "Blog Festival" and I understand what a festival is.
A short video on BLOG AWARDS

Work day for me. I seam to be stuggling with seasonal depression a little more this year. I was real doing good on keeping track of what I ate. Now I'm hit and miss with it.
I looked up out window around 4:20 our time and sun was complete down. Plus last week or so it been over cast.
Tuesday it spose to clear off and we to have blue sky.

Help around the place today.
