Walking Way Overrated. Vlog. Uncut & Unedited Another Morning After A Night Of Indoor camping

 After another night and I'm trying to camp out in our living room. While Craig sleeps soundly, I foolishly get distracted trying to communicate with others. Have you ever tried to do that when you're completely exhausted and falling asleep. But so determined to do it but you don't give up and before you know it sun is rising and you still haven't successfully sent any texts or messages. I definitely need to do some soul-searching to try to understand why I would forfeit so much rest in order to worry about that

Walking Way Overrated: VlogVenture. A Day In Our Marriage. DIY Stuff. Amazon, Blood Thinners & More



After the hoyer lift break down the other day, see the video for that story here. Unfortunately, dear Leeann ended up with a lot of very black grease on her shoulder from supporting the boom part of the lift while Craig was disconnecting the hydraulic cylinder. We felt bad about it (didn't know it was greasy up there). Knowing what a great laundry guy Craig s, I told her to leave it to him and he can get the black grease out. The Next Video shows how he did! Here is the vlog for that fun day. 
There are more details below the video about Craig's laundry tools and my DIY formula ingredients.

It's that time of year when crawly critters start returning into our home. I usually nag Craig to keep the bugs at bay with RAID. He will spray the front door threshold, up and around the door cracks. Living on the ground floor means creepy crawlers work their way in. Concerned about him breathing in RAID fumes, I have been trying to create DIY critter repellents. DIY sprays are so easy to make for countless purposes. Never being someone to follow recipes, I just look for ideas on the internet and then wing it from there. I like to over do the amounts of everything just to make it strong.

Here are some notes on the loose recipe for my DIY Spray Formulas:
Bergie Critter repellent spray:
You do not need to use all the oils. I have them and used them. I am using ones that were mentioned in various recipes. Peppermint oil is a key main ingredient- just using one or 2 more will keep them at bay.
A Spray bottle
Rubbing Alcohol - fill bottle %50%
Distilled or Tap Water - fill bottle 50%
I just Add a lot od drops or pour what I think is enough of these oils:
Peppermint Oil (deters a lot of crawlies)
Lemon or Orange Oil
Tea Tree Oil
Cinnamon Oil
Should be some cayenne pepper but we used a bit of fine ground black pepper.
Wintergreen Oil
Spray ever 7 days or after rain also. 
Peppermint and shaved Irish Spring soap will help repel rodents also like, skunks, rats and mice. Safer than moth balls.

Laundry Guy:  stain removal tools
And Craig used (to work out all kinds of stains)
Method Laundry Stain Remover (Craig discovered that the stain remover is really just method laundry soap inside a bottle that has a little special brush like a toothbrush to work out stains)
So if you don't have any of that just use the laundry detergent or Dawn dish soap apparently works really well too and a used soft toothbrush.
Method Laundry detergent
Soft used tooth brush

Worlds Collide - Vlogventure: Stranded In Bed! One Adventurous Day.

 

Today one of my biggest fears came to pass. All I can say is Thank You God for blessing me with the best of care and that things didn't happen the way they could have. I have a number of stories about how I believe God protected me. How? Things like my brand new wheelchair batteries stopped working just after I arrived at a safe location, instead of the middle of a crazy freeway/expressway!

Find out what by watching our vlogventure for today.
I name these particular vlogs Worlds Collide because we have more than one vlog/blog. So when the subject matter covers our life and creativity or our faith in Jesus, worlds essentially collide! Makes sense to me anyway. Walking Way Overrated is our life vlog/blog And Heartfully Creating is my creativity and Sure Hope Gazette is our Christianity Blog/Vlog
