Retired Life: How’d it Get So Busy?

You all told me it would do this. The days filled up and got busy. George was right, I still run out of time every day. But I am having so much fun, especially now that I am starting to feel better and get some energy back. This was the first real blog week since Thanksgiving I believe. I enjoyed the vlogging and I actually did enjoy (most of the week). I few parts I did not enjoy, and you can see it by watching HERE.

We are so close to 5,000. So let me know if you have any questions for our Q & A video and I will put it on the list. I said when we hit 5,000 I’d start doing periodic Q & A’s. And we are so close.

Also I am on instagram more if you want to follow me there @lesshustlemorecoffee – I also did a REEL (yay) on a recipe I did that I put in the crockpot for Tamale Pie. It’s over there if you want to check it out.

Otherwise, the cold air has been brutal on us this year. Much colder than most of our winters. We have temps usually in the 40’s, 50’s. But we’ve had single digits at nights and not much over 30 many days. In the upcoming week we get 50’s and even a 60 in February. So thoughts of spring are hitting us hard.

Upcoming videos:

About to edit DISH DECLUTTER Part I for Wednesday, Jan 29th live date. Following that will be Seasonal Depression During Winter Weekly Vlog going live on Saturday, Feb 1. Dish Declutter Part II (still filming with George) will go up Wed Feb 5th. And another vlog currently being filmed will go up Feb 8.

I think I’m getting my groove with the video filming. I will just keep a vlog going all the time until I think I have enough footage. Those I plan to have go live on Saturday’s. The extra videos that are specific in nature will be on Wednesday. It’s a new thing for me to be filming two at once, lol. I’ve learned to start each one with “this is for X video” – kinda like the wooden sign that they clap in the movies with what movie, scene etc, for the editing person, lol. When I’m dragging my footage to the proper files I’m having to watch the clip to see which file it goes in. A little time consuming but it’s ok. Looks like 2 videos per week will be the norm when we have special projects or videos to do. I love the filming and editing but sometimes if we are really busy I can eliminate the Wed video. I’m keeping the Saturday video as a guarantee and the Wednesday videos are just pluses, or extras.

Upcoming excursions:

We are planning where to go for Valentine’s playing our game. We put down all of our favorites and we are taking turns crossing it off. We also will have an adventure next week to take my 401k papers to our financial advisor for my rollover. We will make a day of it. 😉 Yes, I’ll be taking you guys along and videoing it, ha.

Ok over and out. We have another busy day today. We will continue the filming and hope to finish the dish clean out, do my weekly planning for next week, working on projects, figuring out my next recipe, putting out spring decor and working on all the lists and projects. Things like hemming PJ’s, starting a puzzle, reading my John Grisham book, watching Virgin River, and YouTube shows, doing laundry, a few household chores. See, I fill my time. But it’s usually productive. I don’t have much sitting time. Netflix or reading is my reward for accomplishing things. And I enjoy the “accomplishing too”

So….if you read the blog and now want to watch the video, you can watch it HERE.
