good morning everyone I just woke up but today is Monday with Tessie and I'm
gonna share with you my day and all the things that I'm working on but first
let's get a shower and let's get started on the day it's always something that
needs to be done
I have a lot of work to do today I put my bandana in my hair and the reason why
I do that is it just keeps my hair out of my face and it just really helps me I
think it's a psychological thing because when I put the bandana in my hair I
always know that I have a lot of work to do and you know I always have to have my
pink lipstick I'm gonna take you throughout my day more as my videos come
out and I'm gonna share with you more about my life and just my everyday world
that I live in I think this way my videos have a little
bit of something for everyone there's gonna be a lot of content in these
videos so there's gonna be a lot of things that I'm going to be working on
projects that we're gonna be making together and it's going to be just a lot
so it's gonna be a little longer video and it's gonna be quite a few of them
too I'm gonna be doing this way now of course I will have some shorter videos
once in a while but I really think this is what I want to do I've been doing a
lot of thinking about things
I never considered myself a teacher but when people see what I do I guess in a
sense I am teaching and people see what I do then they can follow along and they
can do what the projects that I'm working on this is gonna be a new
concept for me pastor Mao said something that really spoke to me he said
yesterday do everything and do it in excellence and he talked about how
making the bed in the morning it's so important to have a bed made that way at
nighttime you have a bed that's ready to sleep in it again and while I make my
bed every single day in the morning I never thought it that way it just starts
you out on the right path
so I thought I would share with you what I got the Dollar Tree on Friday I
couldn't believe it everybody you have to check your Dollar
Tree because they had clothing they had look at the t-shirts now they had all
different kinds of sizes now these are too big but this would be a nightie
shirt and they had the pink one in my size look they had the pink one and
x-large these are the shirts that I wear for my
videos for a dollar each I couldn't believe it I was like so excited so this
one isn't x-large to which I wear but can you believe that I got four t-shirts
and they were dollar each so I just wanted to share that a little bit with
you and now we're going to get on with our day and I'll show you all the
projects that I'm working on today it's time to clean up the kitchen any mess
that we had that from last night I want to clean up before I start on my
projects
so I went to the food pantry on Saturday I got a few things it wasn't very much
but I'll be sharing with you in the next vlog on what all I got
but these apples were some of it and they're actually really good they're not
sandy so we're really happy about that my husband loves a Crisp Apple that you
know crunches when you eat it and every morning I got to fill up my counter with
water so I can heat it so I can wash the dishes dishes are like socks they seem
to multiply
so man have you talked about what I got at fifty Thursday and you're right I
need to go see if I can find the sugar one because you could turn it this way
you don't even it doesn't even say what's in it so I should have got the
other one you're right lessons learned
all right so we're gonna get this water heated up I'm gonna watch some dishes
then I'm gonna show you what I got because hubby surprised me he brought me
something and I got to put it together and stick it in the freezer really
excited it was a rough special treat and they'll be able to last us a long time
so let's get these dishes done let's get my kitchen cleaned up and then we'll get
started on that they turn cold out but finally no more rain Oh days and days of
rain like 40 degree weather and just torrential rain feels like spring at
least there's some frost now on the ground so mud is it quite as bad oh I'll
tell you mud
this doesn't get you up in the morning I don't think anything will whoa huh I'm
tired already my day didn't even start what I used to just first thing in the
morning I used to get on my YouTube channel and comment everybody but that
takes about an hour to an hour and a half in the morning so these days I get
all of my housework done first that way when I sit down to comment everybody I
don't feel the pressure of having a house that needs to get cleaned up so
have you decided last night who wants eggs well cast iron and eggs that's a
messy job so I want to wash these dishes up and clean the cast iron skillet and
get everything back to normal again what is normal you know I ask myself that all
the time what is normal all of us have different lives and everybody is
different well I guess what I do every day is normal because I do it every
single day like the same thing every day if people kept saying well Tessie why
don't you make a vlog you know share about your day and I'm thinking I did
the same thing every day but you know what there are different variations in
it and I think people are gonna like that just to get a more glimpse of my
life and you know see what I'm working on like what I'm a canning video I'm
gonna have a canning video but I'm gonna have what I'm doing that day as well
that way for people who don't like canning videos at least they'll get some
enjoyment out of the video because they'll get to see other things about me
and from now on whenever I go away that camera is going with me people like
seeing me go out and about they'd like to see how I am out in the public I'm
the same oh my goodness I like to have fun I like to that and I really get
excited when I find something really cheap and frugal
no matter what that is cost me about my cast-iron skillets all the time so I
wash them like you do any other dish I know some people get really upset with
that but that's how I do it now what I like to do then after I wash
my cast-iron skillet make sure you dry it really well then I take some olive
oil and normally use a paper towel but I don't have that today and I seasoned it
with olive oil and that is how I keep my cast iron looking brand-new every single
time all right the kitchens clean so now we're going to work on my next project
and that is what did my husband buy me and what am I gonna do with it so let me
get it and I'll show you what we're gonna work on puppy got me this ground
beef Wow what a blessing so this is gonna feed us
a long time and it is six pounds of it
now it wasn't cheap it was three dollars a pound
I know but we use very little red meat and when we do we really try to stretch
it as far as we can so I was gonna make a whole bunch of meals but you know what
I thought it's so much easier for me to put this in the freezer and then make
one meal at a time I really don't have much freezer space and I thought this
would be so much easier so let me go ahead wash my hands and I'm gonna take a
knife and score it
so for the one we're making chili so we don't need to have it as much and then
for meatloaf something like that and go like that for sloppy joe then we'll just
go like that
so I'm just going to flatten it out
some people say about why I'm not using the vacuum sealer vacuum sealer bags are
so expensive and this seems to work pretty good for me because this will be
used up fairly short time
you missed that for those of you who missed Sunday's video I have how I make
my own cleaner and this is disinfectant so this will kill all germs just about
all germs all right everybody
so the kitchen work is done and now we'll go to the next part of my day
and then I have to edit this video which takes about two and a half hours and
then I have to upload it which takes another about two hours so you can see
then it takes a lot of time by the time he gets to my house to yours it's quite
a few hours to have taken place
