READING VLOG: giving my headgehog a bath, fall decor haul

hello everyone it is now Saturday so it's the first day that I'm gonna be blogging yesterday um I actually had a huge migraine headache and my stomach ache I put this meal that I got in my oil diffuser and it was so strong I put toast as many drops as I usually do but it was just so strong it made the whole house smell I had to open the windows and it just gave me a huge headache probably won't be using that one again we also took this little guy to the veterinarian we took him to the orthopedic veterinarian he has been having some leg problems and we thought that it was his knees because it just seemed like he was protecting his back legs so we thought that that was what was wrong with him and so we took him to an orthopedic veterinarian which is like a leg doctor and he told us that he doesn't actually think it's his knees he thinks that it's his spine so we got an x-ray on his spine and we found has some abnormalities in his spine so he has one of his spinal bones is like kind of sticking up and it's slowly pinching his spinal cord so eventually if we don't do something about it and try to fix it he could become paralyzed but we found it out now which was which is probably good because he's still able to use his back legs but the way he walks he kind of wobbles we are going to have to go to a neurologist in order to figure out how to fix his problem but it's really sad but also it I'm also glad that it's not something that he's in pain with he's not in any pain he just his legs are kind of numb and so it's hard for him to walk but um I'm just glad that he's not in pain that's my biggest thing and that's what I thought was happening that he was in pain but it's still really sad and he's only six years old so it's something that we're gonna have to figure out how to do we've researched the surgery that he might have to have and if he gets the surgery it's like an 85% chance that he'll get better which is it's good chances especially for being like a spine surgery but it also most of the time comes back so you'll have to get a second surgery which is not ideal especially because he has a short nose I definitely don't like to put him under and because of my trauma that I had with my first dog I don't like to put him under so I really don't want to have to do that I'm hoping that maybe he can get chiropractic work or something I don't know but we will see I'll keep you guys updated because he's such a sweet little guy he's just he's he's my baby he really is and it makes me really sad to know that he could be paralyzed at some point um but I'm hoping that that won't happen but anyway that's the news with that that's what was going on yesterday with that and then this morning we woke up at like 7:00 and we went in the hot tub this morning it's really nice to go in there in the mornings because it's still cool out but the water is really warm so it feels really nice and then we were really tired so we ended up going right back to bed after that and then having breakfast and then I got ready and it's just been kind of a slow starting morning I did read part of spin the dawn which is my read for this weekend and I am now halfway through chapter four and I'm actually really enjoying it so I'm on page like 45 ish I think this cover is really really pretty too but that's my plan for the weekend it's read to spin the Don and I might make up another book if I get through it but we'll see it's already Saturday and so anyway I'm going to spend a little bit of time reading right now and yeah that's the plan for the next hour or so I also didn't clean the Hedgehog cage during the week I didn't have any time which I'm excited to show you him it's been a while since I've showed him on camera and I just feel like people love him and I love showing him because he's so cute I also wanted to mention um we my camera my old camera like my one that I film I set down videos with it's just not working and it stresses me out to sit down and film because it can't focus because of that we're going to have to invest in a new camera which is not ideal I just do not like to sit down and film because I don't know what's gonna turn out and then on my little screen that flips out the little viewfinder I can't tell if it's clear or not because I can't see you very well I have really really bad eyes and I wear contacts and I've had surgery on my eyes and it's just it's it that's complicated in itself but it's just that I think I think I need to have a camera that I can rely on it focusing without me having to make sure that it's focusing so that's that's that I'm hoping that will order it sometime today and then get it next week sometime we've been researching what sort of camera that I that would be good for me and we found one so we're just gonna have to you know budget that into our budget this month but that means that I'll have more sit-down videos hopefully once it comes but for now I'm not putting any up until I can actually not be frustrated with it so anyway that is that for now [Music] [Applause] [Music] signe anywhere that you I don't even care if we come back again and the slaw yes the stars shining above but I just wanna be I wanna close my [Music] - out of you [Music] and as long as the Sun shines upon us and I just wanna be real [Music] I feel nothing [Music] well I feel safe there is no pretending - scary and I just wanna be right here I know everything [Music] and I know that we are not getting any younger but as long as there is I will walk beside you because I just wanna be with you cuz a fan and when [Music] [Applause] hey I'm trying to have a seven footage here you're right in the way [Music] [Music] okay thank you wait now this is what the people want to see oh okay [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] BAM so everyone it is a little later it's now almost 8 o'clock and I've pretty much been reading all day which is why I didn't get like a ton of footage but I've been reading it's been the dawn pretty much all day um I forgot to mention I am buddy reading this with Natalia and Anna there are some of my really good friends here on booktube and books to Graham and so just really sweet people definitely some of my best friends here and I would definitely check them out I've buddy red sorcery thorns with them and we loved it and we loved buddy reading it together so um we decided to pick up this one as well and I'm excited to keep reading it um I am on page 258 so I'm almost done I have like probably a fourth the way left and I'm really liking it so far it's separated into part 1 and part 2 1 is where she is designing clothes and on garments for the embers soon-to-be-wife so I that part was really really cool I liked seeing her in the competition and then part 2 is her and the love interest are going on an adventure sort of thing in order to collect um special materials so that she can make these wedding dresses I definitely don't think it's like I'm gonna be a favorite of all time but I really think that the story is really fun the main character I feel like is really cute and I'd love interest too so that is that one I'm gonna take a break from this one for a little while and I don't know if I'll pick this up tonight but I'll for sure pick it up tomorrow my goal is to get halfway through this and then finish spin Madonn so then that is the goal of this weekend if I can do that I'll be happy yeah I'm also buddy reading this one with Zoey and I just adore with all my heart there's some of the pewte the only people that I talk to like every single day and they really I just think they're such good people they finished once upon a river during the week and I kind of figured I was like you know I've been reading this for so long I feel like and I feel like you guys are gonna get tired of me talking about it so I decided to just finish it during the week and like move on to some other books but um I think I'm gonna give it a three and a half stars I just the ending felt really wrapped up in a good way I liked the way that ended um but I just felt like it was really confusing at certain points and I really wanted to keep track of the characters by writing them down and writing who they were because they just felt a little too much alike like there wasn't a lot that was setting them apart if that makes sense um there was a bunch of female characters in here that just kind of were a lot like each other um but yeah otherwise I think her writing is really really good the story at times was a little bit boring it just it's one of those stories that's meant to be taken in slowly so I can see why it was a little bit more boring at certain points but I think that certain people would love this book so much and I also can see why people wouldn't love this book if you love beautiful writing I really feel like the cover of this matches her writing in this book um yeah it's just really pretty and I definitely would pick up another one of her books in the future um yeah so that's my thoughts on one spot a river I finally finished it I'm so glad because I'm like ready to move on to something else - for the rest of the night though I think I'm gonna sit here I think I might watch something for a little while um I've just been reading all day and so I'm kind of like in the mood to do something else for a little while but I might pick up the Raven boys if I'm feeling like it hello everyone good morning so I'm going to be making some banana bread because I have some very ripe bananas I found a recipe online that is vegan so I've never tried making vegan banana bread so hopefully it'll turn out I'll let you know close your eyes [Music] get some rest by your side your head on my chest now you've had day [Music] it's gonna be okay [Music] it's gonna be okay this song could go Howard we're gonna be okay if [Music] we're gonna be okay yes oh my [Music] [Music] so don't despair [Music] it's gonna be okay this song could go [Music] okay [Music] [Applause] the world could fall down it's gonna be okay some could go Howard we're gonna be [Music] everyone good morning so I made some banana bread this morning and kind of hung out read some books Oh beep he's laying next to me again because and that's his tail not ready and was reading some books so I read some of Raven boys this morning and I got to Chapter five so that's page 52 and I'm a little bit confused it's kind of a I don't know I just don't exactly know what this is about yeah obviously I'm only on chapter 5 but um yeah but I'm interested to keep reading it the writing style is definitely different than anything that I've read before I'm also listening to this on audiobook I don't know how I feel about the audiobook narrator I've heard that it's a really good audio book so I'm gonna keep listening but his voice is like very different than I've ever heard for an audiobook before so I'm curious to see if I still enjoy it but I think I will um it's the type of book that I like from everyone that I've heard talk about this it's the type of book that I think that I'll like so anyway that's that I also finished reading spend the time this morning finished it just now when I was getting ready and I really really liked it um I think I'm gonna give it a 4 out of 5 stars I'm excited to see the next book in the series that comes out in 2020 and I really really liked the main character in this I liked the romance I liked the adventure that they go on and I liked how it was split into three parts so there was like three distinguishable kind of stories that this character goes through and I really liked them of course they're tied together but yeah I really really liked it also I loved the whole like fashion aspect of it she is set out to make these beautiful dresses and the way that they're just and when they're put on it's just such a cool it's just the cool story I've never read anything like that but yeah for the rest of the day I am going to clean the hedgehogs cage and give him baths so I'll take you along with me to do that and then I also want to go to Target because I got my day bed like little foam mattress thing in and so I want to get a sheet to put over it Singh won't you sing with me leave everything for me stay there Oh miss your flight [Music] walk through the rain with me gets up to the skin feel free shut the world [Music] let's hang out how I used to see colors [Music] till I met you at the concert the other day down with sunny race tonight minutes and [Music] P Louisville Eric green lift up your head and count the Stars [Music] kiss play please try to reminisce over me don't cherish [Music] miss you the concert day [Music] with sunny [Music] cage together and we gave him a bath so yeah he is all good to go back into his cage and as you can hear he's very ready for those of you that haven't met him before this is Dart he is my little Hedgehog he's very grumpy all the time as you can hear um and yeah he's he's cute though he's a really cute little bike he is 2 years old well he'll be 2 in October but he's pretty much 2 already and yeah he we've had him for almost two years in December he was a Christmas present from Teddy to me and yeah I really wanted a hedgehog um we kept watching like exotic animal videos and I really wanted to try my hand at something a little different than dogs I used to have hamsters when I was little but I really wanted to try something else and it was between a hamster or a hedgehog and how do you decided to go for a hedgehog so that is what we got um he lives in a pretty big cage it's like takes up this whole table and I have like a hedgehog wheel for him I'll show you his cage in a second and he requires heat because otherwise he will go into hibernation and that will end up killing them so yeah he is an African hedgehog so their breed is originally from Africa but they've been bred into pets for a long time now they have really bad eyesight they're nocturnal but they have really good sense of smell and hearing that's why he kind of knows my smell so he's able to like be sort of okay with me holding him he doesn't love it but um yeah anyway that's him so I'm probably gonna put him away now but show you these little Kate here you go little guy see if you can find your way I moved his home from in this corner to this corner just to like switch it up for him what do you think bud yeah it smells so clean yeah so that's his little Hut he would just loves being in there all the time I put a blanket in there just to make it warmer for him and more cozy he eats cat food I'll also feed him like bugs and stuff I've tried to feed him different types of fruit and vegetables but he doesn't really like it so it's just pretty much stick to bugs in that food and every once in a while try something else but he doesn't usually like it here's his little wheel this is again a ham or a hedgehog wheel so it's good for hedgehogs I put a little tray down here because they like to poop while they're running so it helps catch some of it and then yeah here's his heating lamp I have it all set up over here he also has his water on this side but that's his little cage and he seems to enjoy it so anyway that is my little guy I hope you guys enjoyed that cage tour he's pushing out the bedding right now trying to get himself comfortable that I would show you what I got at Target and then we went to TJ Maxx or during the week and got some fall decor items so I thought I would show you that too since it's starting to be fall time I don't really have very many Halloween decorations in general I have some but not not very many so I decided to get a few that I really really liked and it's not that many but I think it's enough to bring a little bit of that into the into the house so the first thing is this little pumpkin I went with like a homemade belt type of feel I don't know why I just was drawn to the use like felt Halloween decor items so I'm gonna put this on my little bench right there and he's really cute I also got this garland which is felt again it has little pumpkins on it I think I might put this on I don't know either the either the fireplace or maybe my bookshelves I haven't decided yet but yeah I'm really excited about these they're so cute I also got two other types of Garland both of them are felt again so as a little I have a little one with pumpkins and ghosts and then just plain little pom-pom both sorts of things so I don't exactly know where I'm gonna put all of this Garland I'm deciding like I definitely want to put some on my fireplace and probably some my bookshelves but we'll see once I feel like more put together in my office I feel like I'm gonna be more inspired to hang stuff up in there the next things I got are these little framed embroidered little signs so I got three of them this one says ghosts and goblins spooks cool or scary which is at your door jack-o'-lanterns shining bright wishing you a haunting night and they have a little pig so that you can stand them up so I'm probably gonna put these on my bookshelves too or my fireplace I don't know I haven't decided and then I have this one eat drink and be scary and then this one which says the witch is in sweatshirt sort of thing it's really really soft and it's fleece on the inside and it just it's it's more of a nicer sweatshirt instead of it being like a really really casual it's kind of a little nicer and I just love this color it's so pretty I went um I wanted to go oversized with it so I got a bigger size than I am but I just really liked it and then I also got this sweater it came in a really pretty orange color and a really pretty blue color I went with this gray and it's v-neck but it's like really really stretchy so I thought that it would be really cute with like a cute tank top or like a cute little lacy bra let that you just see the strap of and then like put this over the shoulder I thought that would be really cute so it's really big and oversized again I went with a bigger size so that it would be like really really big and comfy um but yeah I got this guy and then the last thing that I wanted to mention was this Leon bridges um record it is so good his voice is perfect for the record and my favorite song that he has written so far is River it's just so beautiful and I love it so much and so I'm really excited to listen to it the rest of his songs because I really like the rest of them too um but yeah that's my little that's my little tiny hole that I got for you guys and I'm excited I'm really excited to get into the fall of spirit and start like decorating and lighting candles and stuff like that I'm sure you guys saw I've been lighting this candle it's Apple honey butter I got this at t.j.maxx not this last time but a while ago and I just really love it it smells so nice and so it's been getting me in the fall spirit I'm just I'm really excited about fall and I'm really excited I always get really excited about fall but um I'm excited to kind of show you guys what I do in the fall just because fall is the time that I go do stuff a lot go to the pumpkin patch and the apple orchard and we do like a haunted maze and it's just really fun we try to do a haunted house sometimes - yeah we look at leaves - because the leaves turn really really pretty here in Colorado so I've been looking every single weekend to see if it's changing yet and it's not I think the Aspen's are gonna change the end of September so I think that's when we'll go do that and we'll go on a little adventure but for the rest today I'm gonna clean this stuff up and I don't know maybe read a little bit um just read some more of the Raven boys but you know that's all I had to tell you guys um yeah if you guys like ball um you know and let me know what your favorite activity is to do in the fall just because I think that it's so fun to see what other people do when it starts to become Halloween time um it's just such a fun season and I take it really light heartedly like I really like pumpkins and those sorts of things I'm not really into the super scary sorts of things even though we do go to the haunted house um it's kind of a newer thing that we've been doing we didn't used to do that but we've been doing it a little bit more and it's really fun I think I just I don't know I've changed my mentality about scary things I just don't think they're as scary as I used to I think that I used to believe in things that I don't believe in now so it's become a lot more light-hearted and fun for me and I just love dressing up anyway okay enough talking about fall you guys you're gonna see it well it's a little tiny bit later honestly my mom came back over we did some more stuff we started putting some pictures up here I think kind of I want to set up as far as like cleaning photos and prints and stuff against it it's a start I definitely want to rearrange it and find a few more prints of plants and maybe put another plant or something up there but I like it so far well guess who it is can you guess okay Obie I know yeah I think that I need some dinner and I'm gonna take a bath probably be done for reading for today because I've read like quite a bit and yeah but I'll definitely finish reading the Raven boys next weekend I'm excited about it finish spin the dawn and I really liked it I'm just doing a quick recap for you guys I definitely think I'm gonna give it a 4 out of 5 stars I'm really excited to read the next one in a series I honestly was going into this pretty not blind but just not having very many expectations and expectations that they did have we're kind of low just because one of my friends had not liked it as much she liked it okay but it wasn't like a very good book for her so I was kind of nervous about it but I actually really enjoyed it and I think it was the perfect book for me right now it was like very light and easy to read I really liked it and I definitely would recommend it if you love Asian inspired books lawn influences um again like there was fashion or is magic there was like adventure romance really everything that you could want in a fantasy story that's pretty much all I have for you guys um we're just gonna eat some dinner and probably relax probably not do a whole lot for the rest of the night um so I think this is where I'm gonna end it but I hope that you all enjoyed thank you so much for watching I love you all so much and I will see you guys next week bye guys you're the rose and it shows - [Music] leaves it and I've to say [Music] [Music] so would you in my
