I Shouldn’t Be Talking About This, Plus Update

Well today’s video is on a subject one of the viewer’s asked me to talk about, so I am. You can watch it HERE.

On another note, Here’s today’s Life Update:

I’m feeling a bit stressed this morning. Glad to be off as it is Saturday but as I look over the list of things that are coming upon me I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. I’m just taking a deep breath. I moved most of the office related, sitting things, to tomorrow afternoon. I always appreciate that after running around, going to church, taking Mom out to eat and to get groceries and doing her needs at her house. When I come home on Sunday, housework is NOT going to be done except maybe laundry, ironing, and something in the kitchen and getting ready for Monday, etc.

So much has landed on this Saturday. I need to do some things for Mom – putting that off til tomorrow afternoon too. I spent my Friday night trying to get my bank account open for the YouTube monetization. It was more difficult than I anticipated, a several day process – mainly due to my tight schedule. I had to fund it last night and of course that was weird and difficult. The process was not very clear but I finally figured it out, sweat and tears, frustration. You partially enroll, they approve you, you send your license back and front, they approve that and then you can “finish” your application, but finding where you finish it was the issue. It kept asking for a password but I didn’t have one yet, lol. Finally found a link that was for “resuming your application”. Then I had to get George involved to transfer money from our account over to that one as he does the online banking. Geez. His password is so weird and secure it took 4 times to enter it and get it right. Lessons learned. Next time I need a new account, just go in and do it on Saturday morning with an actual person and I’ll not have all the hassle. It said it would be easy, but it was not. Anyway I’ve yet to see the funding come thru but George said it might take a day or two or even Monday to show up. Then I have to give that account to YouTube ad sense to transfer the money to that.

Today I’m filming segments of “fall planning”. It’s more stressful to have a specific subject to vlog about, when you are rushed as it is. But I have my thoughts pretty much together on it. I just don’t want it to come out as a stressful hurried regurgitation that is not worth watching. But I don’t know, my life as stressful as it is maybe worth some entertainment just for that. lol

Anyway, my house needs attention, and I’m planning on exercising. We are going to a brewery today and doing our fall planning (when, where, and what we are doing for Christmas shopping). Obviously can’t share the exact conversation for security reasons but I’ll film us in time lapse. lol

My office needs organizing as does all these notes. I just can’t operate in office confusion.

The Mac needs some attention. Mom is getting more frail and having some issues. She wants to plan like she is going to be in that villa forever, but she is not wanting to cook, and she is less mobile, and also having some other issues too. I keep mentioning assisted living, but she wants to be on her own schedule. I am not sure why she keeps fighting. I guess she things she can prolong it and fake like she is not going down hill, but she is. She is very tired, tired of a lot she is having to deal with. So just trying to figure out what will make her comfortable. Meals on wheels is supposed to come. They told her it would start in September. It has not. She is only a few months away from assisted living, I fear. Maybe sooner, maybe later. We’ll see. It will only take one medical event to cause the stir to take place.

Retirement can’t come fast enough. But I just have to keep holding tight til I can have more time. I’m spread thin on a cracker right now. Just so much going on and so much I need to do and want to do but there is only one of me to do it. I have no family that wants to help because of circumstances and events that happened in which they left mad and couldn’t forgive or recover from it so….it’s just all on me. I’ve been mad too, but I’m still here! lol

Ok, need to go. I’m hanging in there. I’ll get some stuff done and roll it over to next week like I always do. lol. The good news is we have some cooler temps moving thru for a couple of days.

So if you made it this far and want to watch the video, here you go, watch it HERE.
