very poor job of making video clips this week I've been pretty open with people um over the years about my long-term relationship with depression and I don't even know if I'm having an issue with depression I definitely am having some sadness and um but anyway that seasonal effect of disorder too though yeah so um I've been semi caving and um just not having my camera out quite as much but I'm out of the house today with Hannah we are about to just run a couple of basic errands um paying taxes and stuff like that and then we're going to go by the winery where we I don't know if you saw our video um it's on do stuff go places where we went on a winery tour a and um anyway we're going to go by they're they're releasing a new wine today called cotton candy is that right I think that's what she said it called something like that so we're gonna go do a little taste test of that and see if we want to get a bottle and maybe grab some lunch while we're out we did not do a caring for the caregiver Wednesday um Sunday was Nan's birthday and we we all went out to her house for her birthday and then the next day she woke up sick and she's been very sick this week although she's feeling some better today but she um hasn't been able to eat much and she's lost some weight this week so we sure hope she hurries and gets better soon but she just didn't really feel like out yeah she wasn't up for a Wednesday outing tomorrow is a really big day and uh somebody has a birthday tomorrow it's me so we're going to be doing some fun stuff tomorrow and uh making a dessert and some apps and hanging out and having fun here's their little miniature Vineyard they have a real Vineyard somewhere else but they've got some some vs here they do a up pick here whenever the they're ready ready and so we've got to we've got to keep an eye on that and do that yeah all right let me tell you what I got us here we got two bottles of this cotton candy wine that's brand new came out today brand new today it has a Musky D base it has cotton candy grapes and blueberry blueberries um it was sweet but not too sweet so was delicious and we'll probably have some of that for birthday tomorrow and this is some five pepper jelly it's just some hot pepper jelly that we'll have over some cream cheese tomorrow for the birthday what you GI uh chicken peran sliders they've got balsamic and basil on them and I got some um Margarita flatbread I don't think we talked about um our lunch we are finished and on our way home but our lunch was delicious so good mine was the best flatbread that I've ever had and um Hannah really enjoyed her sliders delish so another good experience at Jonathan's I think we're going to come out today and and put up the hammock and um just try to let nature do its thing in terms of mental health and feeling better it has been an interesting week for me in terms of I've been feeling very down um it happens sometimes it's just it's just life it's just life and when I'm feeling particularly sad or low and I feel like you know I don't feel like I have anything to share like I don't like we like to share our joyful life and it's not that we don't want to share the times that are not joyful I just don't feel like picking up the camera during those times I don't feel like um I don't know it's just much more difficult to do that during those times and I think um I'm okay with talking about it and mentioning that I'm going through that but it didn't necessarily mean I feel like picking up the camera and doing stuff about it during those times if that makes any sense at all coming up next week we're going to have a different kind of week therefore next next Vlog will be very different Bad Daddy's going on a trip so he will be gone out of the house for a few days so that'll be different and um we'll see what we get up to and today is Hannah's birthday so we're going to be having a just a kind of a birthday day and we started our day off with pancakes and Hannah's got some friends coming over we're going to play some games we're going to do some painting for fun um have snack kind of foods stuff like that so that's going to be a fun time and I'll put that on next week's Vlog so next week's Vlog will be full of activity of of different things going on if you follow us or if you don't follow us on our other platforms we do have a page on Facebook and on the Facebook page I post I usually post a video of the morning where we're in the kitchen and Jessica's helping make her breakfast and I usually post a video of the even evening which is often uh whatever I'm cooking for dinner or uh some new recipe we've tried and the reason why we post a lot of food videos on Facebook is because um when we're not in the kitchen we're usually working and so when we're in the kitchen it's a good opportunity for us to pick up the camera we're in the kitchen a pretty good bit since we all work from home and we're home a lot so that's why there's a lot of food stuff on Facebook and we're also on Instagram if you want to follow us there we do Post there uh three or four times a week we try to put something there and then um also here on YouTube we do some community board posts and also post some shorts throughout the week we appreciate yall watching and hanging out with us and we'll see you next week
