It’s been so boring at the house lately, and I love it 😇 I needed a break from excitement. I threw a four-day festival for the 4th of July here at the house, which turned into a 40-day-long sleepaway summer camp for my friends. I had so many people come over, hang out, film, and play. It was amazing, but now, like the trees from Lord of the Rings, I need to slow down and relax. The last couple of weeks have been just that. Our last house guest left around August 10th, and since then, I have been rotting hard. I took a break from editing, filming, and posting. I kept up with messages as much as I could, but this last week, I just needed a full unplug to recharge. I’m feeling refreshed enough to get back to editing and posting, but I still need some time to just relax and enjoy the house in a low-stimulation way. The house has some new developments too. I have two new roommates. Kennedy moved in, and Zoe has parked her van here for the time being. It’s been really fun having both of them around. They are the kind of friends you can hang out with even when your social battery is so drained it’s basically being recycled for parts. I am feeling refreshed enough to get back to my video projects, though. I have so much that I’ve captured this year that I still want to share. I’m going to look over that today and come up with a plan for getting it all out. I have so many projects going back all the way to May. I’ll come up with a plan for those and start getting them shared. On a sad note, I have also been taking a little more time to relax and grieve. After my dad’s death in May, I didn’t really have a moment to stop. It was Costa Rica, then Miami, then getting ready for the 4th, then open house summer camp. It was distracting, but it wasn’t very healing. So, I’ve been taking a little more time these last few weeks to relax and give myself the space to heal. I think something I’m most excited to do is stick around the house a little longer, not go right back to travel, and focus on a lot of the home improvement projects that I’ve been putting off. My dad built this entire backyard by hand over 25 years, and when I really start to miss him, just going for a walk in the backyard here at the house helps. And when I work on it, I feel like he’s still here with me. I also want to get back to setting up streams, but I’m in no hurry to get those going again. Last year, I took a break from streaming around summer that lasted till Halloween, and then we streamed big kitchen party streams every week for over two months. I definitely want to do that again, but I think I want to start a little sooner. Not sure exactly what day, but I’m thinking Sunday nights sound best. lmk what you think. w/ @zoebytheriver @austinfilms
