A 'DAY' IN THE LIFE OF..US!!

[@kygal]

Tell Spanky thanks for the lesson on how to catch the bits of drywall when drilling! I hadn’t thought of that. It’s pretty genius. HAPPY BIRTHDAY OSTARRA!

[@thecrapgoth]

@kygal Oh he will be SO happy to know that! I will tell him 😀 Thankyou for your birthday message! X

[@spooky_hausintrees]

I burn two cords of hardwood a season! Plus heating oil. Wood stoves help keep the house cozy in winter.

[@thecrapgoth]

I love my wood burning stove! It's awesome! x

[@cganley5275]

House cleaning can be so overwhelming. When you think about everything and don't know where to start so you don't start. And it's absolutely okay to not want to throw any of Kori's things away! Ostarra's shelf looks great! You are so crafty with dyeing the scroll paper. Wishing you luck and calm seas tomorrow. And I would have reacted to the same to those young people. They thought they were being cool. They may not have expected your response, but they won't forget it.

[@thecrapgoth]

Thankyou so much! I will always keep Koris room as his and will keep it nice for him. It's where we keep all donations atm, ready for hospital etc, so it's a big messy atm but it will be lovely. I'm just so glad he got to spend time in there before he had to leave xx Thankyou for your lovely message of support too x

[@cganley5275]

@@thecrapgoth I'm sure Kori is proud that the donations are in his room. ❤️

"I feel sad every time I go in his room with a Hoover." These subtle details of grief are hardly ever explored, it seems to me, & you could write a descriptive article about Living With Grief. Just writing describing what it is like in the ongoing aftermath to keep memories close while going about your business one day to the next because the lifeforce in life grabs our lapels and forces us to carry on no matter how we grieve. So an article that transparently discloses those everyday life details in a simple way, like what you said, "I feel sad every time I go in his room with a Hoover," but also describes you simply gardening or shopping or noticing the seasons changing or even the mechanics of making a ytube video, might be useful for other bereaved ppl to read & even for ppl who are not yet bereft (because bereavement comes to us all sooner or later many times). Or part of the article could even be a direct address to Kori to channel your feelings - - whatever approach channels yr prose. It's only like Spanky constructing all those house fittings, but instead you;d be constructing short passages of observations together in prose for, what, maybe 1500 words? Writing Living With the Aftermath, maybe in simple diary form, might be therapeutic as well as reaching some profound understandings, Pixi. You could ponder which periodical to submit to afterwards.

I really hope that you are right xx

[@deedrahsimmons7545]

Thanks Pixi for sharing a day in your life. I enjoyed watching the video. Ostarra is an amazing little girl. Love her room! She's quite the daddy's girl! Happy happy birthday Ostarra! 🎉❤

[@thecrapgoth]

Aw thankyou so much!! She is mostly all her daddy, she adores him. Her room was a labour of love but SO hard to do as she shared it with her brother from birth and when he passed away last year, we redecorated the whole room (which emotionally was SO hard for me), to give her a beautiful space as she was having a hard time accepting it x

[@kellyoes2870]

You both are such good parents. I can only hope to be blessed with a family as lovely as yours someday. Thank you for making these vlogs and sharing so much with us. ❤

[@thecrapgoth]

Aww thankyou so much!!! Our family is not complete anymore, since I lost my little boy, but we try and keep things nice for the girls so that feel loved and happy x

[@bambijimper]

So much to do and so little time it seems! Happy Birthday Ostarra!!!!! Seven years, so grown up. Can't wait to see it all done and the results of the BBC awards. The parchment paper looks great, I used to do that too with school projects. In one of my high school classes we had to do a wagon train. We grouped up and picked our random story lines. Depending on what you picked to do, certain things may or may not happen. So if you took the trail to the right, you might be attacked by Indians and have a % of your party die and so on. If you had picked to go to the right, you might have fallen into a hole or actually made it to the next town safely. Each group had different outcomes. It was so much fun to do. I made a page from someone's diary depicting what we did that day. So I used to tea bags to dye the paper to make it look old and burned the edges too. That teacher made that class so fun. None of the other History of the American West teachers did that. Such good memories. Thanks for sharing your day with us. Love Jamie & Karl

[@thecrapgoth]

There was SO much to do, but I did it!! Yay!! Isn't it awesome what crafting can achieve and it's so good for the soul too! I love the idea of the wagon train!! Thankyou so much for watching my videos, it means such alot to me xx

[@offtarget1758]

It was always spring cleaning growing up - mom’s attempt to start anew. Definitely liking the idea of winter cleaning - batten down the hatches for the coming cold. Thanks Pixi, I adore your randomness. ❤❤

[@thecrapgoth]

Most people I know spring clean, but for me, winter cleaning is better, no idea why! Thankyou for watching my video xx

[@likesmegrub]

Hello pirate family, thank you for the video. Peace, healing and love to all of you 💗💪🏴‍☠🌈💗

[@thecrapgoth]

Hi!! Thankyou so much!! x

[@Jacque727]

Hi Pixi, I feel you, I hate the fourth cuz my son passed away on Dec. 4th. The 9th bothers me too, cuz my son passed in 2009. I love how you guys are so great together. I did subscribe to John's channel last night. I've got to catch up on all the videos. Everything looks beautiful. When we had wood burners, we cut our own wood from our property. It was hard work. I wasn't allowed to use the age when I was young cuz I almost chopped myself, lol. Spiders is my fear. I have to go out into the desert to see them here, but then they are like your pets, which terrifies me. We can count on 2 hands the times we get rain here in Arizona. We've been in a drought for at least a decade. I wish I could win the lottery to help you. If I did, I probably would help everyone I love and forget me, lol. Kori is still with you, always will be. Kori still loves his room. It doesn't sound stupid, I relate completely. The little things still hit me the hardest. Ostarra is adorable. Enjoy yourself at the awards shows. Looking forward to the videos. You are so creative, love the scrolls. You are NOT an idiot. People can be morons. F them. Nana is a legend. Much love ❤ Jacque

[@thecrapgoth]

Oh gosh, so close to Christmas :( My niece passed a week before Christmas when she was 18 and I still don't know how my sister got through that, so please know that I'm sending you lots of love...but the 9th...gosh, it's awful isn't it :( I lost my mum in 2009 and it still feels like yesterday, but losing a child...you know, there is just NO pain like it. Wow!! I've seen part of a desert before when I flew to Marrakesh and went to Agadir but never like you described. We have SO much rain here and now the studio roof is fixed, I find it soothing rather than scary, I hope you are ok over there, it sounds HOT!!! and yep, free roaming massive spiders are a NOPE for me! Thankyou for being so understanding and for always being here to chat. Thankyou for staying with us on our adventures x Nana is awesome isn't she! x

[@AlisonW62]

We love Tonies and I love watching John, he makes me laugh x

[@moonshayde]

You have the same trouble as I have with the ever expanding to do list! ...you just need to get 1 thing done but in order to get that done you end up having to loads of other things first and all those other 'little' things end up each having their own expanding list! aaaarrrrggghhh! I hope Ostarra has the best birthday!!

[@thecrapgoth]

Oh my gosh absolutely and I'm STILL nowhere near where I need to be! Got so much to do!! Thankyou, Ostarra loved her birthday x

Hey Pixi, it was great to follow along as you worked on your house to-do list. I love the finishes in your house and your log burner - I'm in a rental house over here in the States so I can't use the fireplace. 😒 I actually have stuff on my to-do list from 'spring cleaning' that are now on my 'fall cleaning' list. 😂 We'll see if they roll over again to spring... I'm excited for the BBC awards and Ostarra's birthday!! Busy weekend for y'all! Take care! Hugs! 💞

[@thecrapgoth]

Haha, OMG I keep looking at the stuff I need to do and it's STILL there weeks later. I need to step up my game!! lol
