Less Hustle More Coffee

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Here is our video of our Brentwood and Franklin, Tennessee. We take off to Total Wines, Fresh Market, the Cool Springs Mall and Gabe’s discount store. Then we head to Connor’s to eat. It’s a quick little video with some expected humor from my sidekick George.

Also I do a Thrive Market haul and explain how it works. I know a couple of you are interested in that. So subscribe on YouTube if you haven’t already to my “Less Hustle More Coffee Vlog”. Give me a like or a comment on there if you can as it helps the channel.

My Thoughts for Today

As of today I’ve decided to keep doing the videos – just telling you how I feel and making a note of it also in writing of my own feelings as they change from day to day (hour to hour). As of right now I remembered that I should just take each day as I want to, video or not, edit or not, and the videos will come or not.

One you said (Monica maybe) “why is this such a big deal”, and nicely said “you are putting too much energy in this”. I can also do vertical video sometimes and post on YouTube and Instagram which I tried to do anyway. Now YouTube is allowing vertical video to play into the algorithm in a big way and has told YouTuber’s it is a must. I’ve been doing long form video only. So there’s that. The main decision won’t be made until April 1, announced April 2 because of the fact that I keep wavering. But I can tell you I feel relief having “compromised” in my head. I don’t have to quit it all together – just slow it down or change the mix as I need. And I truly think that is the answer. I’ve felt that way for two days now in a row which is a first. ha.

I’m so glad it’s Saturday and Dexter is too. I get to be home with him all day. George is going to a church indoor yard sale. It’s raining cats and dogs. It’s a perfect home day but we are all excited.

Yesterday I went to the store and bought groceries after work, took my Kroger card which I keep forgetting about. Since I had to buy a few things for Mom and keep them separate at the check out on top of mine and had of course two cards to pay with and two orders to keep separate, and remember to have them scan my Kroger membership card for discount – by the time I got through with all that I totally forgot about the card. Oh well. I’ve forgotten about it since November so it’s almost March now. I never remember b/c I never have gift cards for Kroger and so much is going on that just never think of it – especially having two orders to check out. All that said, I had a great time shopping by myself and getting to look at things and not feeling rushed.

I fixed spaghetti last night after I got all the grocery haul in. Kroger’s (the big one that I went to) had Mizithra cheese. So I made browned butter and Mizithra for it as well. This is my most favorite way to have spaghetti and it was delicious, if I say so myself. lol

And guess what, I video’d how to make my version of spaghetti, along with the mizithra. So wow, just like that, already have footage for the third video, ha!

Anyway today I’m making a quiche. I bought the stuff for that. I’m looking forward to the home time today. I’ll be dusting, cleaning, doing some “low hanging” fruit on my cleaning list and working on all the lists, relaxing some too, and just enjoying life. Soon we’ll be going to San Antonio and I think I’m going to want to video a lot of that. ;-). I think I’ve just been discouraged and depressed. And feeling like a robot. I’m starting to come to life. Starting to change things up a bit. Starting to think outside the box. We are even thinking of taking a mini vacation in June. I kinda think George has been feeling in a rut too. He hasn’t said, but I can tell.

So maybe things are all looking up. And thank the good Lord, I finished with Year End w-2 “hand entry” reporting yesterday. That lifted a load. Now I can work on some other things there too.

Hope you will enjoy today’s video. You wanted a “be on the move” video. And this one is! Now I’ll get a comment about how shaky the footage is and how too much on the move we were. HA! I cannot win with making a public video but anyway check it out and see. I wasn’t taking my big camera in all these stores. I’m too shy for that right now, lol.

Here’s a pic from the video.

What you doing this weekend?
