Bout to drop this first video anyday now...hard deadline is the 11th..I figured it to be fitting lol...
Now that I have gotten through the entire process with one video, I know it will go much faster as I start working through all of the rest of my footage.
 
I am really excited to share this with you'all (and youtube/rest of the world) bc it has been SERIOUSLY therapeutic for me.
 
First, the actual act of cleaning the house, removing a bunch of crap, and reorganizing has given me more space and freedom than I have had in years.
 
Additionally, putting it all on video has given me the energy to actually PUSH thru and has provided me with much-needed accountability, since there is no one here (besides the kids--and anyone who has kids--knows how that goes) to help me along.
 
Finally, watching myself struggle through these projects and then realizing EXACTY HOW MUCH PROGRESS I have made. I can't lie to myself or re-write history on this one.
 
I have video evidence of my growth!
 
The more I edit, the lighter I feel, and this is only the first video! I have completely transformed this place since then and it is an amazing feeling.
 
I am Really excited for this new season in my life.
 
Like legit, when in doubt "make your MESS your MESSAGE" and you will start to see a way out. 
 
Look for me on youtube as Lindsey Breegan.

Today was a good day. Kaliya had an appointment for a filling at the dentist. While she was in there Jojo and I hung out in the FedEx next door and surfed the net and I worked on my new business cards.
It has been SO FREAKING HOT. The air conditioning was delicious and cruising the net in the back away from everyone else, felt positively NORMAL lol.
 
They had a bunch of books on the wall, one of which, "Think and Grow Rich" has been on my short-list for a VERY long time. While we were sitting there, I read the first couple chapters, and I INSTANTLY understood why this is one of the SINGLE MOST recommended self-help books of all time. Like, really REALLY good. So good I want to start reading to the kids again like they are 5 and 6, so I can be sure they consume this information.
 
After we finished there, we drove to town. I took the scenic routes all over makiki and kalihi looking for the right way onto the Pali lol. We finally found our way to the correct side of the Pali and took ourselves to Nuuanu and Jack-ass ginger where I SWEAR I saw one of the chickens we dropped off a couple months ago living her best life.
 
Went to the pool and watched these two young boys from the mainland just having A BLAST and it reminded me how special this place is. Watching them AND my kids having a great time, I really wished I had brought both of my cameras. My phone was dead as well, so no pics of this particular excursion. Added Bonus, the White Ginger all along the road on the way up was in bloom, so I grabbed a BUNCH and am now looking at a beautiful arrangement in the kitchen.
 
After that, we took the scenic route all through Ward, and WHOA!! It looks completely different from even 2-3 years ago when I rode through there last. What a trip!! I seriously got lost on roads that I used to know like the back of my hand. It is so crazy how things change and it makes me feel old lol
On the way to Costco, I saw a BUNCH of police officers at the Capital and then at least 100 protesters AFTER DARK, holding signs against the new vaccine mandates. I had no idea that they were out there again today. It makes me SOOOOOOOO happy to see regular people resisting this BS. Of course, I HONKED and HONKED!!!
 
Anyway, we ended our night at Costco, where I bought a shit ton of food and also found this awesome lil kitchen cart that I just couldn't resist.
 
I am still working my way (and filming as I go along--I have 11 hours of footage rather than the 2-3 I previous estimated) through the house and this thing will make it look THAT much better AND give me another countertop and some more storage space AS WELL as provide content for another video,. I swear, shelves are my thing for YT....lol.....

 Hello again to all of the people who are NOT reading this blog lol.  I really have no rhyme or reason anymore.  This was to be my ultimate masterpiece, a place where I pick apart all of the major conspiracies, one by one, and I have done a lot of that, but things are changing in my life and so is my focus.  I am mainly posting here because I am so so so sick of facebook and being hated on by the drones who populate that site, so here's a lil update:


Made some MAJOR MAJOR progress yesterday with the #greatpurgeof2021, like so much that I could barely sleep with all of the new and cleansed energy that was swirling around me last night. Woke up feeling completely different and lighter this morning. 
 
For those of you who have been here and know what this place has been looking like, I can now walk freely through the yard, patio area, my room, and living room. There are so FEW piles compared to even a month ago and most of them are organized with tupperwares waiting for them. The LAST hotspot (besides my under-cabinet area in the kitchen, which has already been gone over several times and will be quick and easy for the final organize) is the outside "dry storage" area.
 
I am through the giant laundry pile. I have cleared out all of the trash, a bunch of broken and unwanted stuff, and donated more bags and boxes than I can possibly keep track of.
 
Though I have yet to get an actual video up on Youtube, I have been documenting ALL of this. I have been slowly getting Jojo involved in both the cleaning/organizing and filming and things are really getting somewhere!! I would say I have 5-6 hours of footage as I have filled up two memory cards so far. We are kinda stuck ATM with no memory and I am still not too learned on the editing software.
I am ordering more memory cards, but since Jojo wants to learn Davinci and make his own vids (but his computer is not powerful enough--I forgot to tell ya'll I took that POS cheapie back and got myself the new MAC MINI) I am planning to learn Davinci along with him and hopefully (fingers crossed) get him started editing my stuff lol
 
The funny thing is, as I have said all along, when I finally get to the point where I actually can handle living here, something will change and I'll be able to move out. I feel like this whole thing with this tiny house and having to sort through all of this shit is a lot of my unresolved shit making a presence in this part of my life. Like if I don't deal with it (and beat it) once and for all, I will not hit the next level.
 
What do you know, in the middle of all of this craziness, a letter arrived from sec 8 saying that we have an inspection coming up in Aug. I am not too sure this place can even pass this inspection, and if my landlord has any hope of making it happen, she will have to put A LOT of work into this house.
 
Either way, I WIN. LOL.
 
No matter what, the lease is up on Jan 21 of next year and I can take my sec 8 and move somewhere better.
