Good morning, you guys happy Tuesday. The reason why I'm starting this vlog today and not yesterday is because yesterday was Labor Day So it was like a long weekend and I took yesterday completely off because Joel wasn't working either So I was like, you know what? Let's just take the day to relax I hung out with Madison my sister and her boyfriend Connor and then I went over to my parents house for dinner It was a good relaxing day. I really appreciated that extra rest day because I slept in and I didn't work out Or didn't do anything really of my morning routine. I was well needed So I'm really excited to get back into the gym this week Honestly today was so hard waking up just because I did have that three-day weekend So it made it extra hard for me to wake up early today and also Joel is sick So he isn't waking up early either So usually honestly like he motivates me so much because when I see him always just like we're waking up early and doing His thing that motivates me so much and gives me motivation So waking up completely on my own this early was pretty hard because it's only 640 right now And so I had to like muster up the discipline and motivation to just get myself out of bed regardless If he was sleeping in or not because usually I'm like, oh Joel's up I have to get up, you know what I mean? But like I said already in previous videos like motivation comes and goes you're never always gonna have motivation So that's why you need to have discipline and determination anyway.  He just looks like a stuffy nose like it's not horrible.  I just really hope that I don't get it I feel completely fine. So hopefully I should be fine for this week But yeah, I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do today make a grocery shopping today or tomorrow Just really depending on how things go today and what kind of the five enough food because usually I do grocery shopping It's on Monday. We'll see if I end up going today or tomorrow, which is weird I never really do like a mid-day big grocery shop, but we'll see anyways. Let's go get this workout in I'm at oxygen yoga and fitness again if I am every week I love them so much and they do infrared workout So it's heated and it just feels so good to like sweat and get all those toxins out of your body And it just has so many health benefits. It's so good for you So I'm ready to get my sweat on so let's go first week of September and I'm so excited for the fall So let's go work out So I just washed my hair and I just wanted to show you guys some products that I have been using so This is a scalp serum and I put this in my hair last night So it was in my hair all throughout the night and throughout my workout This is just a scalp serum and it promotes hair growth supports thicker fuller hair and spy way I love this hair brand so much I just applied this hair oil to my ends and it's by the same brand I also use their shampoo even throughout like the week when my ends get really dry I'll just apply this in there and it makes them feel so soft and applying it to my wet hair after a shower Makes them dry really really really silky and smooth. So these two products have been my go-tos for my hair care Here is my breakfast today. I actually have these gluten-free English muffins that my mom gave me two to try So I'm really excited to try them because I've been missing like bread But they have pretty good ingredients and then I just topped it with nut butter It doesn't have any like peanuts in it, but it's just like almonds and some mix of nuts It's organic from Costco and then I just did two sunny side up eggs And I have some sriracha here if I want any hot sauce, but it's just like a easy plain simple breakfast I wish I had like avocado or something or Turkey bacon, but I just don't have groceries right now. So this is the best that I can do but yeah I need to go grocery shopping, but it still looks good. So let's eat. I just finished breakfast I'm about to make a coffee, but I'm opening these new beans. They're actually organic and fair trade They're dark roast I got them at Costco because my parents had them and they were so good And we've never bought an organic coffee before so I'm really excited It's just like one of those things that you can easily change and it's probably better for you So these are whole beans and that's why we went to Walmart the other day because we bought a bean grinder So it's gonna be like physically more work, but I kind of like it It's like a fun process of making coffee and it's a lot more fresh this way I feel like but they smell so good and I'm just gonna grind the beans up and then make some drip coffee because I'm feeling like a little cozy Morning today, but oh my goodness the smell of this right now is so good So I just made myself the coffee and it's actually so good like I love the beans and I decided to bring out my pumpkin mug because it is the beginning of September So it's basically fall now. I consider fall September and October. So cheers to the pumpkin mug I've been waiting to bring this out and I'm so happy and cozy But I'm just gonna enjoy my coffee now probably while watching a YouTube video or something just before I get ready to start the day It was good.  They have like really cute curtains there We're just like probably just like some sheer beige or whatever curtains So I could put them along the window and then I want to get like a cute vintage lamp in here And then I'm with my clothing rack and then I feel like once I have that all in the room It's just gonna feel a lot more like Done up and then I can just do things from there I think I'm gonna end up doing like a whole room transformation video unless you guys want to see in one of these vlogs Let me know if I should do a separate room transformation transformation video Or if I should just include it casually in a vlog what you guys would prefer But I'm so excited to do it and I just feel like I finally have a vision of what I want to do And I'm really excited about it because at the end of the day This is like my get ready with me room. This is where I'm gonna do my makeup This is where I'm gonna get dressed and I just want to like feel really inspired to film in here And right now I just don't because it's so plain and I just don't know what to do with it But now I know what to do. So Pinterest. Thank you very much If you guys ever need inspiration literally just scroll Pinterest and I swear to you. It'll help you gain some inspiration Anyway, so right now I just have like some stuff on the floor that I want to clean up And then I also want to do my laundry because my hamper is full And I'm just gonna clean up my room a bit and get some laundry started And then I think I'm gonna go to home sense Okay, guys, I just got ready to leave the house I just have on sweatpants because I just wanted to be really comfy today with a white t-shirt And then these little sunnies on super simple didn't really feel like putting together an outfit today So this is what we got and I wanted to be comfy But I'm just gonna go run a couple of errands and I'll talk to you guys in the car But just wanted to do a little bit of a OOTD before I leave. I also need new purses I've been I literally wear this black one every single day and it's just like so basic and boring It's good for like an everyday purse, but I feel like when I go thrifting this week I want to like look for purses because I'm just like so bored of this one. Some girls have like a million purses But I have like two and they're so plain That's the mission for this week is to get some new purses, but okay, let's go I just arrived at home sense and I'm want to find like some fall candles. I know they're not good for you like because they're filled with chemicals and stuff But I honestly let fall and Christmas be my candle excuse Those are like the only times of the year where I'll let myself burn like a toxic candle Because obviously like it's so they're so fake and what you're ingesting is not good for you So it's not like I'm promoting this but at the same time It's like I also want to live a life of balance as well And I really want to get like cute pumpkin pillows or something So we're gonna look and see what they have Because fall only really lasts for like two months and then once November hits in my head. It's Christmas So I like to get going on decorating and on celebrating the seasons just because they come and go so fast So since it's September in my mind, it's fall. Like I know technically there's still a few weeks left of summer But in my mind September and October is fall November December is Christmas So we need to get going on the decorations, but before I get going in I just wanted to talk to you guys quickly Because this was just on my mind when I was driving and I like to be quite honest with you I am like not in my confident era right now And just like everything in life My confidence and I feel like you can relate to this It's like very ebb and flow and there's just like periods in my life where I just look in the mirror And I just am means myself. I sometimes just can't help it I don't know if it's like hormones or around my period or what it is But there's just like some periods where I go through and I'm so confident I'm like, yeah, I look so good And then there's sometimes where I'm like being so mean to myself And I'm trying not to like every single time I have a negative thought about myself I try to erase it and replace it with something good. So that's I've been doing that Like let's say you look in the mirror and you're like, oh, I don't like the way I look today Kind of try to rephrase that in your mind and be like, I love my body. I love the way I look I'm so beautiful inside out and just try to get rid of those negative thoughts Even if you don't feel like it just by saying it it helps your brain think it over time and plant that seed There is times where I'll go through periods in my life and I'm like, wow, I look so good But like, I don't know why but just this season of my life right now I just like I'm not the most confident And I think my eczema also has something to do with that because I just like feel gross sometimes when I have an eczema flare And it's just like taking a really big damper on my confidence My eczema is doing like great great by the way, but it always comes in waves Like I don't know when my next flare is going to be so I'm kind of just like scared for that to come But right now it's fine this week. It's great. Um, but still like I looked in the mirror today And I just like was saying negative things to myself And I feel like a lot of you guys can relate to that because it's just things that we do with girls when We're held to these like high standards that women should look a certain way and Dress a certain way and be a certain way But it's like at the end of the day You just have to love yourself for you regardless of anybody's standards regardless of what society is saying And as soon as you start to have that self love you're gonna glow From the inside out and a few years ago Like I was so not confident like I was just like the most unconfident shy person like back in high school And I have truly like learned to love myself and to be confident And I had to fake it until I made it because at the beginning like I had to fake not to be shy I had to fake to be confident and it kind of just like grunt me and now that's how I am But even though I'm a very like I would say confident Outgoing person and I love myself. There is still periods of Time in my life where I just like don't feel my best and I'm not like the most actually like confident Even though I mean might appear that way anytime I go through a period in life like this I have to fake it until I make it like I just have to just keep rewiring my brain and being like no You're beautiful. You look good. And that's it. You're hot So anyways, I just thought that I would share that because I feel like this happens to a lot of girls and women and People even if you're a guy where there's just periods where you just like you don't feel like yourself You don't feel beautiful And I heard that this is actually normal because I was listening to this like doctor talk or I forget who it was But I'm pretty sure some sort of like doctor and she was saying how it's like so normal It's like anything else in life you go through ebb and flow periods where sometimes you're just not going to feel As confident or as beautiful, but it's just like a phase and it's like it's ebb and flow Everything in life is ebb and flow and you just have to get through the tough parts, but there's no sunshine without rain anyways, I just thought that I would talk to you guys and be vulnerable about that because It's not like the best feeling to be honest to not feel like beautiful and I'm not asking for compliments like whatsoever I'm just like being honest But yeah, I just thought that I would share that if anybody else can relate fake it until you make it That's my best advice and that's what I do to myself and rewire my brain in those little ways of just like talking Positively like switching those negative thoughts into positive ones. Yeah. Anyways on a lighter note Let's go shopping for some faulty core and see what they have. Okay. Let's go shopping Okay, here is my little haul from home sense So I got this wooden pumpkin and my plan for this is to put it on the island and have it like as a centerpiece It's literally like a meat out of wood and it's so huge and I just feel like matches the neutral vibes in the house And then I got these dishcloths which have like little leaves on them There's two beige ones and then a cream one and I just feel like they give fall like sweater vibes So really love these and then I got three candles The first one is called autumn morning And then I got this one called heritage pumpkin and they all smell so good you guys And I also got this maple hazelnut one went a little overboard on the candles But I'm so excited and then I got this throw randomly because we only have one blanket for our couch And I just thought that this would be super cute and I like how it's like knit material So we'll see how that looks on the couch unexpectedly I came across these platform mini ugg dupes you guys. These are only $60 like $59 I believe and I was like, oh my gosh. I'm gonna snatch these I already have a pair of like mini uggs, but they're not the platform version and these are like the ultra minis They are dupes. So they're from the brand It's called cush cushionaire. So if you guys want to search them up go ahead They look really good on I'll try them on for you guys right now But I couldn't pass these up because even though I usually wouldn't buy dupes for these They look really really authentic. So you can't go wrong. So here's how they look on the feet I feel like I don't know. I can't even tell the difference like I have real uggs you guys and they look pretty Damn identical. I don't have the platform ones, but they look really similar And they're super comfy and I just feel like are gonna be a really good fall shoe And I was so excited because I only had one in my size their size eight Usually I'm like a seven and a half or seven, but for some reason with uggs I'm always an eight. So I guess they're true to size to uggs I just think that they're super cute. This is the new island centerpiece I just put this one in pumpkin with these candles and I think it looks so cute Because the pumpkin pie that I thrifted was here before this But this just gives the kitchen such a fall look and I love it Morning you guys happy Wednesday this week already feels so short because Monday was a holiday So I started it late, but it feels so good that it's already halfway through the week Like I feel like the week goes by so fast all of a sudden it's monday and then it's friday And then the weekend's over and then it just repeats So that's why you have to like actually be present in every single moment because you can't be waiting for the weekend And you can't be like so excited for the weekend that you're just like Focusing on that the whole week because the weekend's gonna come and go so fast And then it's going to be the weekend again And then the week's gonna go by and then just life goes by so fast you guys like this year is already almost done Pretty much like we're veering towards the last months of the year, which is so Actually wild and crazy and what the heck is even happening I don't know if it's just me but the time has been flying But it's just been zooming. I have no idea where this year went Like I feel like we were just in christmas last year and now it's like christmas is basically almost approaching Because it's just a few months away like once september hits fall goes by so fast And then christmas comes and then it's new years and then bam a new year so fast But anyways my sleep last night felt like I didn't get a sleep.  It was just so hard for me to get out of bed But I'm so thankful that I do have like really good sleeps like I sleep like a baby all the time And I have no problem with sleeping, but sometimes they just feel too way too fast So that's the only thing But anyways, let's go work out to get our strength on for today I weirdly have like a lot of energy this morning. So let's go in So I just got home from my workout and I am sweating so much I wet myself off with a towel But you guys these oxygen yoga and fitness workouts make me sweat so much It's so good because I just feel like I'm detoxing my body And I used to go in the sauna like a few times a week But this is literally equivalent or even better to going in the sauna Because I sweat even more honestly than I do going in the sauna or just as much So it's been so amazing Here is my breakfast today It's the exact same thing as yesterday, but I did scrambled eggs I still haven't gone grocery shopping. So I'm gonna go today. So that's why it's so air and plain And this way I'm using up what's in my fridge But I'm just gonna sit down and eat now and then make a coffee after So I'm just about to make my homemade creamer I like to kind of make it like a sweetened creamer and you guys it's so thick and creamy for coffee It's so perfect So I'm gonna show you guys how I make it because in my last vlog I showed you guys how I made just my milk But this is the cream recipe. That's like super thick I just have half a cup of cashews half a cup of almonds for dates And these are like super soft and sweet and then some cinnamon So I'm just gonna put this all in a blender Now I'm gonna go ahead and just add two cups of water If you want to make milk you have to add about double this If you guys want that recipe just go watch my last vlog and it's in there But for cream since you want to make it super thick you only need Two cups of water and then I'm just gonna put a little Dash of cinnamon. I'm just gonna add this to the blender and then blend it until it's smooth I already mentioned this in my last vlog But just in case you missed it in order to strain the milk You just have to take a milk bag You can get these like on amazon you can get them at your grocery store All you do is put it over your bowl and then pour the mixture Into here and then you just have to squeeze it to strain it out and then you have homemade cream So I don't have an actual cream container yet, but I do want to get one So I just put it in this container for now But This is how it turns out. I don't know if you guys can tell but it's really thick and it Actually like works as like a thick cream and coffee like it's so good Taste amazing doesn't even taste like super nutty in the coffee It's a great substitute if you guys want a healthy or alternative than like those Sweet and cleans you get from the grocery store that have so much additives and sugar in them This is like completely sweet to naturally so you know that you're getting your sugar from the date It's not like processed or fake sugar And yeah, I I just like made this recipe up and I love it so much So that is how I make my homemade cream. I'm all cozyed up on the couch with my coffee and my fall mug And I have just been enjoying in the morning like after I get all of my things done and my workout done My morning routine I have been loving to just like set my coffee and watch a youtube video watch tv Just for the time it takes me to drink this just because I feel like it's just really nice to have a peaceful moment Before I start my day and it's only around 10 o'clock right now. So since I wake up so early, I feel like it's so well Deserved and it's just like a quiet nice relaxing moment to enjoy my coffee before I actually like get ready for the day And do work. So I've been rewatching gossip girl I actually started yesterday and I'm so excited because I haven't watched it since I don't know maybe like eight years ago So I'm so excited. It's just such like a comfort show And I feel like it's perfect for the fall as well But I'm just gonna watch and enjoy my coffee. I'm just about to go out grocery shopping I have just been feeling the comfy vibes this week and I haven't been wanting to really wear anything but sweatpants So here we are again I've had these for like eight years they're from h&m and they're still such good shape the really good quality ends I love these ones so much. They just fit so nicely And then this is the tank or the long sleeve that I got from the aritzia warehouse sale It's actually amazing. I'm obsessed with it I really want to get the same one But in gray because that is like something that I realized I'm missing from my wardrobe is like a long sleeve fitted gray Shirts so I'm gonna like look up the style of this shirt and like order it in gray because I love the fit and material of this one I just love how it's like skin tight and it's not cropped. It's pretty long. Yeah, it's by sunday best from aritzia So I'm gonna try to find it and order it. I just put a cute little gray headband in my hair Just to get it out of my face Well, I'm shopping and then I put this brown purse on today So little comfortable outfit because I have to be comfortable when I'm grocery shopping since it always ends up taking so long I just like to be super super comfy and in chill clothes. So this is my cute little outfit for today I haven't used this purse in a while and I was wondering where My charlotte tilbury lip liner went and it has been stashed away in this purse for months And I was like, where did my charlotte tilbury? Favorite lip liner go below and behold. I open this purse and it's in here I am always losing my lip liners whether I leave them in my purses and then I forget about them or In the car like they're just everywhere. I think I probably have like 20 lip liners Not all charlotte tilbury, but mostly drugstore ones just like laid out everywhere And I don't really care about them since they're cheap, but this one I mean, I got it in pr. But so She's 30 dollars or more even so I want to take good care of her and not lose this one I like made a point to not lose it and then it got lost But it was in the purse does that always happen to you guys like you put a lip liner in a purse and then You're just like, where did it go? And then you forget you ever used that purse So this is like one of my two purses. I have been just using my black one for months straight But I thought the brown is cute. But anyways, I made a tiktok about it So go follow my tiktok if you aren't following me on there I just post casual brands and videos whenever I feel like it. So it's a fun time on there I just got to the grocery store I'm coming to this one and then I'm going to go to Costco and then I'm going to go to meridian meat So I have three stops to make let's do some well needed grocery shopping because my fridge is literally empty at this point Here is the ginormous grocery haul. So I'm gonna go through it with you guys quickly Just so you can see what I've been eating lately. So I just bought these dairy free healthier chocolate chips and I'm gonna use these for something I'm baking tonight And then we got some walnuts pecans.  They have really clean organic good ingredients And then Joel got this organic creamer from Costco We got these two mails and this is the best brand of mail you guys because it's made with avocado oil and no other Bad oils. So this is the only mail that I eat and it's so good. It's so much healthier And if you get it at Costco, it comes in a way bigger jar for less expensive So we like to have this stocked up in the house And then I just got a bag of lemons because I use these every day Just got assorted fish and meat from meridian here, which is like grass-fed organic meat And then I got some salad a pepper Baking powder these organic red rice bites that I love and then I got some almond flour The only ingredient in this is almonds So this is going to be perfect for if I want to bake something like with recipes that I make up because it's super healthy And then I got these grass-fed sausages for the morning These are from Costco all of this and a huge thing of coconut oil Just because I always feel like I need it and I never have it. So now I'm stocked up for so long some maple syrup bananas Olive oil we run out of olive oil and then just some potatoes. So that's the overview hall I'm going to clean out the fridge right now and then put everything away There's a fully stocked fridge. It looks so good And it just feels really nice to have everything filled and organized and clean If you guys love by yourself and have your own fridge, you know what I mean But such a good feeling. So on all of those groceries we spent about like almost $400 Which is insane But at the same time like me and Joel have recently started to prioritize like for the past Kind of like year ish of our life that we want to start shopping Organic like whole foods and just like the best quality of things Because we can go to just like normal of normal grocery store and spend probably like a fraction of the price But what kind of quality of ingredients are you getting and I totally understand if like you can't afford to shop like this Organic and all of that I completely understand that But since we can I feel like it's just such a good investment in our health and something that we prioritize spending money on And we do see it as a long-term investment because if you don't have your health like you don't have anything Yeah, I just feel like there's so much crap and bullshit in the foods nowadays and they just put so many additives There's only preservatives. There's so many antibiotics in the meat and it's just so horrible like companies will do the most To have like the cheapest stuff so that they can make the most profit and it's kind of disgusting And so shopping at grocery stores that sort all the bullshit out for you where they only have like ingredient Organic produce is a lot better and you know that they're sourcing their ingredients more locally And they actually care about what they put in their stores versus like a huge like grocery store that May have like better prices, but aren't as like ethical and good So I just want to be real like include more of like You know daily expenses because I feel like nobody really talks about that on youtube and how expensive things can be And especially if you want to like eat clean and healthy and good quality How expensive it is I don't want to be like complaining about it because I'm very very lucky and that we're very abundant We can afford this and I also love to have the mindset that money comes and goes the universe is on our side The universe is going to give us money and it's just like a good mindset to have so yeah It's like with anything like I said in my previous video like when you're buying something It is a energy exchange and as long as you're getting something in return for that money Like it's not a waste of money So you can't really see that as like your money depreciating taking me so many years honestly to have like this really good mindset About money and I do slip up at at times because we're all human and we all have those like moments But I just have to remind myself that like what even is money money is literally a currency It's energy whenever I spend money you would just have to think of making money because putting negative vibes towards something Is not going to do anything for you. I'm like watching a squirrel right now like run up the tree It's so cute But anyways, yeah, I just wanted to be transparent because living on your own could be super expensive and like I said I don't like having that mindset about it But realistically money-wise it can be super expensive especially if you want to eat healthy and clean But I hope you're all doing great with this economy that we're in right now with all the prices going crazy And just know that if you're stressing about money or whatever it is you're stressing about if you're having a hard time I suggest that you literally right now like sit down and go do like a 10 or after you watch the video Go do like a 10 minute money manifestation youtube meditation. I'll link one down below It helps so much to put you in like that good positive money mindset because stressing about it It's not going to do anything for you and I know like, okay You're not going to do a meditation and you're going to get like a million dollars in the mail But every little thing Counts and there's no harm in thinking positive So just know that you can attract abundance into your life by thinking positive thoughts and I stand by that so because I was broke before like, okay I don't want to say I was ever broke because like I was living with my parents and I didn't have any bills but I had a point where I was just like at a minimum wage job and I had the bare minimum and I Honestly manifested my way up here. So you can do it too. Anyways, okay So I just made this banana Thingy Madison which you came over the other day. She made us something and it was so good But she said she eyeballed the recipe. So I kind of eyeballed this as well I'm just gonna bake it and then put chocolate over top. Hopefully it turns out good. So I'll update you guys I'm not gonna share the recipe until it comes out of the oven just in case it's bad. So we'll see So here are how the bars turned out. They're actually really really good So I'll put the recipe down below for you guys I cut them into little like squares and so good. So this is definitely a staple recipe that I'm gonna be making Hey guys, so I'm just about to get ready for bed and wash my face get in my pajamas all cozy I've been going to bed at around 9 30 it's 9 o'clock right now I try to settle in bed around this time and then go to bed at 9 30 since I wake up pretty early I just like need at least eight hours to sleep. But to help me like wind down for the night I have been reading Before bed instead of going on my phone and recently I've been Finishing it starts with us by calling Hoover And I just read like a chapter or two before bed and it just like puts me in the best state Before sleeping because it just like, I don't know. It just makes me really really tired like reading makes me tired So it's perfect And I'm like more than halfway done Yeah, I'm more than halfway down through the book and I really like it so far I feel like not much has really happened. She's been like slow But I don't know if something's gonna happen. But yeah, it's a good book overall I would just wanted to read it because I read the one that's before this I forget what it's called it ends with us and it was really good. So that's why I'm reading this one, but I really kind of want to get into Reading and maybe even like get a kindle or something just because it would be so much more convenient to like bring that around So I don't need to be buying a million books and like I don't even know where to store my book So I feel like a kindle is just like so good So I might even get a kindle. Let me know if you guys recommend that. I also have an iPad So should I just read on that instead or should I like get the kindle? I don't know but I do want to start reading more especially for the fall because I feel like it's just so cozy to read But anyways, I just wanted to come on here and say good night before I get ready for bed And let you know that I've been reading and trying to implement that habit It's pumpkin spice lattes can I get them both half sweet with no whipped cream And then one with oat milk one with almond milk. Thank you First pumpkin spice latte of the season This is a cheat drink for me because I have been staying away from like processed bad sugars But what we did is we got them half sweet half sweet So the regular version has like 45 grams of sugar in it, which is insane But this one should only have about like 18. I saw tiktok about it So I got a pumpkin spice latte with almond milk half sweet and it's the first one of the season. So cheers Maybe the last Cheers the camera not me Cheers it's actually good. It's not it's not like what I'm used to in terms of sweetness, but We are currently thrifting a value village because The fall is among us you guys and I just I had the thrifting itch and I was like Madison you guys are coming thrifting with us Because we need to find some cute sweaters and I just feel like fall is like the perfect season to thrift for And we have a full cart full. This is kind of cute of stuff like the blue one. Yeah Yeah, I know I saw this but the only thing is the bottom it doesn't cinch Yeah, it is look One thing that I learned about the thing is that like things need to be perfect It's because I used to thrift and just buy like everything that I found But then I didn't end up wearing half this stuff because I didn't like the way that it fit So I'm like very particular in what I buy now when I thrift so excited to give you guys a haul When I'm back Hey guys, so we went thrifting today with Madison and Connor and it was so much fun We went to do two different thrift stores. I just wanted to throw for fall. It was such a fun day today I didn't have a workout today Just because I like to take like one or two break days during the week So I didn't work out today, but I did do like a 30 minute stretch So on the days that I don't work out I still like move my body just in like a different way So I feel like stretching helps so much of like my flexibility and everything So I just did like a 20 minute stretch But other than that, like I didn't work out today, but I had such a relaxing morning I woke up a little bit later because I didn't have like a class or anything and I just really took the time to Like a candle I was playing jazz music in the background Like it's just a kind of romanticizing my morning today was a good day I got some editing done as well for a few hours and It was just so much fun thrifting. I filmed a thrift haul for you guys that I'll insert next And as you saw, I got pumpkin spice latte, but tomorrow I'm gonna try to Make one at home. So we'll see how I do that. I don't even know I'm gonna do it yet But yeah, so tomorrow I have a seven a.m. Class again So tomorrow we're back to the grind for Friday. Enjoy the thrifting haul because I feel like I just got such big pieces Yeah, I'll see you guys tomorrow I got some pretty good finds and in total I spent only $50 because a value village if you donate something you get 20% off So I had a huge bag to donate and I got 20% off. So Everything came to $50 which was so good But the first and I think my favorite find is this one. This is a brown purse and it is perfect Condition I am so obsessed with it Especially for the fall. I feel like this is gonna be my new everyday purse I don't think i'm ever Not gonna wear this purse. It's so perfect and i'm so proud of this find. So I got this and Then I just got this black one. I really like the shape of it And I just think it would be super cute for Going out. It has like silver detailing on it. I don't really have anything like it So I thought that I'd pick it up because it's super cute And then I got this knit sweater and I have been looking for something like this and madison actually found this And she's like you can have it but how cute is it? It's actually so perfect I'm gonna give all of these clothes like a good wash But i'm obsessed and I love how the zipper goes all the way up to the neck So I can wear it opened or closed and it's just so cozy such a good find and then Next thing I got is this brown kind of like crew neck type of thing It looks a lot better on and it does just like chill in like this It just fits me really really well and it just sits really nicely And I love like the collar. It's so cute such fall vibes So really happy about this find as well. And then I got this green hoodie This hoodie fits like a gem it fits me perfectly just the way it sits and I'm obsessed with it It has a little stain right here. So I hope I can get it off But if not, I honestly don't even care because it's not that noticeable But I'm in love with the shade of green. It's super fall and the fit of this hoodie is just so good So i'm so happy. I found it. Yeah, I just love the fall like coloring we have going on here And then last but not least I got this columbia sweater This was such a good find madison found this one as well But it's a zip up and it just fits me perfect It's a size medium and it's just so cute and I've been wanting kind of like a black cozy Zip up like this and it's just super super fall and I'm obsessed with it But yeah, everything I got fits me really nice and I'm gonna probably throw them in the wash honestly like right now so I can get to wearing the mace up But this is just a whole fall aesthetic going on here and I'm obsessed.  I'm so happy this week felt so Short honestly, but friday is just always good vibes. It's always friday vibes Which are good vibes and I'm not even kidding you after friday workouts I almost cry because I just feel so proud of myself every single week for like Accomplishing what I accomplished and it's just like such a rewarding feeling when you accomplish something And every single week like at the end of the week on friday I feel like I truly accomplished something because me staying consistent and going to my workouts every day And building that relationship with discipline with myself makes me feel so good and confident and happy and not gonna lie I tear up when the instructor tells us that the workout is done on a friday because I just like feel so good And then I get the weekend to relax on the weekends. I do absolutely nothing I don't hold myself accountable to anything a certain wake up time like nothing on the weekends I just take that time to truly do whatever I Want sometimes I need to go grocery shopping or something random like that But I make sure to prioritize rest on the weekends and just like lazy days So if I wake up at 10 and I don't do anything all day like that's okay with me And I don't feel guilty about it when you are living a lifestyle where like you're super disciplined Like you need that balance where you have like certain rest days of the week where you can just do Whatever let your body wake above whatever time or else you're gonna drive yourself a little bit insane And it's not gonna be healthy that way so finding that balance for me was so important And it's perfect because like monday to friday i'm on my grind i'm on my Shit and then saturday sunday. I'm like, you know what I can do Whatever today because it's my off days and it's my rest days. So I think it's a weighted bar class today It's currently 6 40 and i'm gonna go in soon So there's guys that are just staring at me vlogging right now and this is like so awkward Oh my god, they literally just like looked into my car and walked by that was so awkward Why is it so awkward to vlog? I'm usually fine when i'm like with people in public vlogging But when i'm in my car and people walk by me and I have the camera and i'm just talking to it They're probably like what are what is she doing? Oh, I just like x me out. I hate that anyways It's okay Something is only embarrassing if you make it embarrassing and that's so true Like if you just like brush it off like it's nothing and you're like what that wasn't embarrassing It's not gonna be embarrassing because embarrassing is just literally a feeling So it's not like an actual fact. You know what I mean? So if I don't make it embarrassing, it's not embarrassing, right? I'm going to go into my workout now. I'm so excited This is your motivation to get that friday workout and because it feels amazing and so accomplishing So happy friday babes. Let's go Work out Hey Another workout i'm so sweaty and it was such a good workout. I'm so happy We're done our workout for the weekend and it's just the best feeling But i'm just gonna stop into the grocery store now just to get some avocados if they have and pumpkin because I want to make some sort of like pumpkin creamer to put in my coffee this morning Why not like that would be so Yummy, so let's go into the store. I was gonna buy it like when I went grocery shopping But I completely forgot it was even on the list and I still didn't even like see it. Anyways, let's get some pumpkin You guys I just got back from my workout and I got this package in you guys know these viral Uggs and I've wanted a pair so bad and these are actually dupes because the real pair Sold out and I can't find them anywhere So I was like I have to get my hands on a pair because they're just so cute And I can see myself wearing these like every single day of the fall So I saw an etsy that they had dupes and I'm a size eight usually in uggs So I wasn't sure what size to get but they fit me perfectly I'll try them on for you guys in a sec and I would link them down below They were only I think 60 or 50 dollars canadian But such a good deal and look at how good they look like I'm honestly so impressed And they don't say ugg on them obviously because they're just dupes, but I'm not complaining I'm not complaining. These are so cute. I'll have them linked down below for you guys with the size that I got But let me try them on. I actually can't believe they look this good here. They are on and they fit perfectly They look super super cute And I don't know I feel like you wouldn't be able to tell from the original like from a distance because just like it Doesn't say ugg But I am so freaking impressed with them and they're so comfortable I'm so happy, but what a good find and they shipped pretty quick I wasn't expecting them for the next like week or two, but they came so fast I pretty sure only took them like a week and a half. So very happy with this purchase Here's my breakfast today. I did shredded hash browns on the pan with eggs avocado sausage It looks so good. I'm so excited to eat. Okay. I just washed the dishes So don't mind the wet stains on my hoodie, but I'm gonna make a pumpkin cream cold brew right now I'm totally winging this recipe But basically what I'm thinking of doing is just frothing the cream my homemade creamer and the pumpkin together That's basically it.  I don't really know how much to put Let's hope that's good And then I'm just gonna add a little bit of maple syrup just to sweeten it up a little bit extra And then just take my hand frother and Go at it A little bit more pumpkin The only thing is is I don't know if this cream is going to be thick enough because it's my homemade cream So I'm not sure if it's going to like sit on top of the drink nicely, but we'll see Okay, let's pour her over top Yeah, it's not going to stay But that's okay. It still looks really good All right, I'm just gonna add some cinnamon Even though she didn't turn out the way that I necessarily wanted it still looks bomb and let's taste it Mmm Okay, that is so good. You can taste the pumpkin. That is so good and easy to make. Okay I'm definitely gonna be making this again, but 10 out of 10 would recommend even if it doesn't like sit like cold foam It doesn't matter So good, I just got a package from garage in the mail and I'm so excited I'm gonna do a try-on haul for you guys right now because I am Obsessed with these pieces and with garage. So let's get into the haul these pieces are so perfect for fault Okay, so here are the first two pieces that I got it's so funny because in this vlog I was saying how I wanted a gray long sleeve And you guys this one is so perfect the fit of it is perfect I got it in a size extra small and it just hugs me so well and comes up to the perfect length It's the comfiest thing literally ever I know I'm gonna be wearing this with every outfit because it's just such a basic staple that you need in your wardrobe Okay, I cannot get enough of these cargoes.

Now, popular cross dresser Idris, aka Bobriski, has pleaded guilty for count charge of abuse of money laundering, preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission at Allegos Court. Now where he was originally arraigned on a count charge, but two of the charges were dropped following a dispute between the parties. Bobriski was then charged with one to four and also pleaded guilty to these charges. Now Justice Bimbola Aoguro, the judge, stated a judgment of the convicted controversial cross dresser to April, as he also ordered that he should be arraigned to the Supreme Court to be pending the judgment. Idris is a case of pender, and by the relevant provisions of administration of criminal justice act, the court will not impose maximum punishment to us. What is the punishment? Six months or 50,000 fines, either of the two. And the EFCC, they've considered to fine. And they've even accepted the defendant's request to stop abuse of money laundering. So in all, we are not paying. The Honorable Court is the master of his court. Also, the adjoinment is not unusual, but we have trust, confidence in the court that come Tuesday night of April, justice will be done.

All righty, it's 5.30. I'm gonna call the meeting to order. Do a quick world call. All the person Ackley. All the person Phillips. All the person Savoglio. And all the person Sorenson. Okay, all present. Well, we'll start out with the Pledge of Allegiance. To the flag of the United States of America. And to the world of religious hand, one nation under God, indivisible, All righty, 2.1, approval of the minutes. Do I have a motion? Approved, last meeting minutes. I can't get it exactly. Got a motion, approved, seconded. All those in favor? Public? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Chair votes aye. They're approved. Okay, start right out with 3.1, Resolution 103-20-21, October 5th, document 5.7, Resolution establishing the 2021 budget and appropriations and the 2020 tax levy for use during the calendar year. Director Bebel. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Tonight, we're gonna be presenting the executive program budget, which includes basically the Department of Public Works. So we're gonna be focusing on the Department of Public Works budget. And I'm quite proud to say that for the most part, it's fairly flat. We do have some increases, but those increases reflect some increasing trends that we need to address, as well as mainly cost to living or consumer price index increases and some contractual increases that we have ongoing. So I'm gonna refer to our IFC, which we have as a background and we'll start right at the top with engineering. Engineering, we're increasing it overall by 10,000 in contracted services. And this is what we're starting to see a need, especially where it comes to structural engineering, environmental engineering, and some traffic engineering. Those are three specialized areas that for the most part, our engineering staff is civil, which is a generalized engineering. It has a component of all these factors that I just mentioned, but they're not as specialized. This is type, we have anything with contaminated soils or information where soil conditions warrant further analysis will contract some of that analysis out. Anything was structural, that's a very specialized area that will need help occasionally, as well as traffic engineering. We get numerous requests for incidences where we have a dangerous intersection and if we need to do a signal warrant evaluation as well as doing some study in terms of traffic counts and pedestrian counts and so forth. So that's what that reflects in engineering. Other than that, engineering again is flat. We're not really adding extra costs in that area. Streets division or what we call municipal service building administration, there's no notable changes for 2021. Harbor Center Marina Fund, again, no notable changes. It's fairly flat across the board other than for some slight increases reflecting the consumer price indexes. Streets and alleys and sidewalks. This is a large portion of our streets. This is our repair budget. We're proposing to keep it as we did for 2020. No notable changes in terms of adding a much more construction materials or contractual services there. And that would hold true for storm drainage as well as the street lighting. However, in snow and ice, salt prices again have gone up. And again, we were under contract with the State of Wisconsin, the Department of Transportation. We piggyback on the State of Wisconsin's large purchase of salt for all the highways throughout the state. We're able to get into that bulk type of prices in bulk contract. But nevertheless, it's still increasing. So it's increasing 11,500. Our goal, however, is to, as you know, we've started to add brine and we started to add liquid calcium chloride to help reduce the reliance on actual rock salt. So ultimately, we're hoping to be effective. But yet we have to have a minimum order and this price still reflects that minimum order. Otherwise, if we go below, so it's such an amount. And if we need more next year, we're only limited to percentage increases. So it's one of those necessary evils of being part of the DOT salt program. We get good pricing, but yet it's a little restrictive in terms of the flexibility and how much we can order and how much we have to have and reserve. Sanitation and garbage, there is a $17,600 increase for tipping fees and that reflects 3% increase and that's via contract. And we have a five year contract to manage our waste to go to the landfill. Street cleaning, that's our street sweeping program and leaf collection program. We're not anticipating any major changes with that.  It's mainly contractual. This is where if we get tall weeds and grass complaints, we'll inspect, we'll notify the property owner, give them X amount of time to get rectified or get it cut. And if they don't, then our contractor goes out. So that's been a good program. And basically what we have in our contractual services gets reimbursed through then work orders and then charges back to those property owners not following through and cutting their lawns. The drop off site, no notable changes. That's been a good steady operation and things are moving well there. City Hall, there's an increase in utilities, reflecting all of the new technology as well as all of the air handling now that we have in the building where prior we didn't have air handling in the building for heat or for air conditioning. It was a hot water or steam heat in the past. So there's an increase in there. But overall, as I mentioned, I think previously, if you look at the history of City Hall, costs overall, it's flat for the last 10 years. We're steady. It's had its peaks and valleys, but we're still trending right along where we should be. Although there's an increase from last year, last year when we budgeted for the building, we just really didn't know, because we had no history of it being occupied and operating in the building. Civil defense, there's no changes. That is our, and that system's been fully upgraded throughout the city. We have new civil defense sirens and new telemetry where they're activated. So that's been a nice change overall with the maintenance that was necessary in the past. Cemetery, again, really no notable changes. The same personnel's assigned to the facilities, seasonal, as well as the work that's being done. We do have small little money to fix some of the roads and pavements that are within the cemetery. And that's an ongoing annual kind of maintenance activity that we try to attack every year. Parks, again, no notable changes. The big items in parks are our maintenance of the buildings and facilities as well as the utilities. But overall, the personnel's remaining the same. We supplement a lot during the busy season with summer seasonal, so we're tracking, again, well with that. This past summer, however, we really held back on our summer seasonal with the pandemic affecting our park usage in terms of the rentals of the facilities and such. So at the end of 2020, we're anticipating that we should be in good position in that area of the parks department. Maywood, no notable changes, again. We currently have a contract with Maywood and the Association for them to manage it and operate the facility as, and then we pay for the utilities and upkeep and some of the activities necessary to keep it ongoing. The Park and Open Space Fund, this mainly is for our forestry division and there's no notable changes. That's part of our Emerald Ash borer long range forestry plan. And we're probably in our third, fourth year of about a seven to eight year program. And again, that's no changes. We're keeping it the same as last year. So we'll have activities in terms of treating chemicals with the ash trees, removing and trimming and so forth. So the treating program, now we've hit every tree that we've treated. Now we're on retreats and even with the retreating of trees, we're still having some loss of those trees. So the chemical application to help preserve is eventually going to start dwindling in terms of the amount we'll be using because there is about a 10% loss of those that are treated on an annual basis. The Park Impact Fund, no notable changes. That fund is, again, that is the fund that when we have new housing units being built in the city, we get a fee for when they take out the building permit to build. So for instance, the Oscar project will have, let's see, 200 units in it. Each unit then provides us revenue to this fund to be used to implement new park facilities, our new equipment within our existing parks. So I could foresee like with the Oscar development, something over at Moose Park eventually or something within the area at Veterans Park that could potentially help as even Franklin Park, which is across self-business drive. So that could be a clear impact in use of that funds that we get for the impact fee goes right to that development or those new areas that need to support the new residents within those areas. And the last couple of years we've had with the apartments, we've had a significant increase in the fund. So we'll be able to make a difference in some of these areas. The stormwater utility fund that's, we don't have a utility per se. We had a utility years ago, it's been suspended. We're not collecting a fee anymore for what we call equivalent runoff units as we used to for residential and commercial properties as well as it could be non-taxable properties that would be charged this utility fee. We're not doing that, but the utility fund is still in existence. And that's mainly for when we have stormwater permits or drainage application, drainage permit applications, those revenues fund that account. And it's roughly only about 50,000 a year, but it's enough to keep it in place for if and when eventually if a stormwater utility does make sense again to reactivate or implement for the city. And we're finishing up a citywide master stormwater management plan. It's been probably 20 years since the last one was completed. We're in the final review stages of that internally with our engineering department. And some of the early recommendations are some pretty major capital projects coming down in the next five to 10 years. In just addressing stormwater. So I think that's gonna bring that kind of discussion around a little bit more full circle is how do we fund that? Do we have those projects compete within the capital improvements program against other projects such as roads, fire engines, building improvements to say the least. So the stormwater utility could be an opportunity to maybe fund those larger stormwater projects through that funding mechanism, in other words. So again, stay tuned. That's not today and it's not for 2021. But I'm thinking within the next two to three years we'll have to have a discussion on that to at least determine what really financially is the best way to fund these types of improvements for the longterm. Motor vehicle division. There's an increase in rental charges and right around roughly $50,000. The fund is approximately $2 million. So this 49,000, or 50,000 roughly, excuse me is about 2.5% increase is what we anticipated in our rates that we're charging internally for our equipment. Again, this is a separate fund that we internalize our vehicle equipment. That way it's separate from the general fund budget. So we're charging ourselves a vehicle rental fee, which that fee then goes into this fund for ultimately replacing equipment. That way we're not again competing with the capital improvements. Now there was if you recall for those of you that have been on the council longer, we had a couple of years where we had a million dollars of capital improvements specifically for the motor vehicle fund. And that was really replacing the fund for several years ago when that fund had a surplus of roughly around I'd say $7 million. And there was about $4 million of that was taken and used for other debt repayment services that were needed at the time. With that money being taken out of the fund, then the fund wasn't as solvent and things were starting to get, excuse me, the equipment was needing to be replaced. That fund was no longer able to keep up. Therefore we needed to hit the capital borrowing. Ultimately we do not want to go into capital. So now instead of about a million dollars that we are heading to capital improvements fund for vehicle replacement, we've reduced that to 250,000. And ultimately we want to get it to zero where we're just using our internal funding mechanism to replace equipment and not have to go and compete with those other capital funds. The recycling fund, it's a new fund. We just implemented it last year. We're not increasing rates. There's still $4 a month. And it just has a slight increase of 10,886 that represents the cost of the CPI index for the contract for waste disposal and recycling processing per ton. Lastly is the wastewater treatment plant division. We have increased here 74,000 in interest investments and again, this is this more of an accounting exercise as well as an increase in 125,000 in billing services. The water utility processes our sanitary. So when you get your water bill from the water utility it also has our sanitary sewer charge on there. When we have the water utility process our sanitary sewer bills, they have the ability through the public service commission to charge us for that service. Now it's an expensive service. It's about $650,000 a year. But what goes into it is just not processing the bills. It also processes their capitalization of the water meters themselves. So when the water utility had to buy meters and replace them through all the properties as well as the technology for the radios to do the meter reading itself. All of that type of cost is also built into this billing. So I just wanted to explain that. And lastly, there's an increase in chemicals. Chemicals aren't cheap, but they're very necessary. So that's around 37,400. So that's really quickly the highlights of the public works budget. Again, I'm very proud of the staff, their commitment. I have tonight with us all the superintendents and city engineer with us to discuss any details. But again, we're cognizant of the need to balance and keep the city at a high level in terms of the services that we provide and the improvements that we make on a daily basis. Yet doing a cost effective matter that recognizes the taxpayers and the ability for the community to afford this as well. With that, I entertain, just real quickly and I know Steve's on the line, he can maybe provide more detail. But the wastewater plant, the rate there is roughly about a 5% increase. That is actually much less the last couple of years we were trending right around 9%, roughly at the wastewater. And that's because of many of the large capital projects. Now we do have our self-shore interceptor project that's gonna be coming. That's roughly a $10 million project right now. However, we're entering into some preliminary design on that as well as we're just applied for a FEMA grant and there's other grants we're chasing to significantly reduce the burden of having the utility, the wastewater utility fund that entire project. So there's opportunities there. And I think at this point we're in good position with that project. It's already less than about $14 million we originally planned. So I think only good news is going to come forward with those grants as well. So with that Mr. Chairman, I guess I turn it back to you and be happy to answer questions. Well, thanks Dave. I really appreciate it. I really see the work that's put into this. And I guess I'll entertain any other questions from any committee members. Mr. Chair, I have a question. Go ahead, Marcus. Thank you. Dave, if you could help me a better understand here in your kind of like in brief document that says what changes are notable or not. I've kind of added up here roughly somewhere in the neighborhood about $350,000 increase compared to last year. Would that be reasonable to view with me? That's less than a million. I, okay, what I would look at however is did you include like the motor vehicle, the recycling funding and store, well not store mark as we didn't have it. And the wastewater in that figure? I just went through the document. You just kind of went over where it starts with this is a request for public board committee consideration report date October 6th that kind of talks about wastewater is the last item. Right. That has like $200,000 in it alone. So as long as we're kind of working off of that document and then this other document that is noted as the resolution 103-20-21. I'm showing here a couple pages in the budget summary says that for 2021 executive public safety is going up by someone in the neighborhood of, I'm sorry, public works is going up in the neighborhood about $4 million, $3 million or so. And you've only explained about 300,000 or 400,000 of it. Could you help me understand the difference there? Again, the majority of that is in the wastewater and capital areas. Not, what I was giving you highlights tonight was mainly in what I would consider what is our operating budget. Those items that affect the tax levy directly. And even within there, there's some like such as wastewater that doesn't affect the tax levy. That's actually the wastewater utility billing of which I mentioned so roughly around about a 5% increase for next year. Thank you for the clarity there. Any other questions online here? Nope, none for me, I'm good. Thanks guys for all their hard work putting in on this. At this point, can I call for a motion to approve this and pass it on to general counsel? And I'll give that a second. Okay, motion made and seconded to approve the resolution. And all those in favor? Hi. Anybody else? I only heard two. Rolls, do we lose some people? Okay, I'm gonna do a roll call of it. All the person actually, do we have anybody else? Are they calling in, maybe, or I wanna? I just see me and Marcus. Yeah, we have a quorum. I guess we have three, we have three. I guess we'll just, I guess Betty was on. I know she was on and so was Rose. We'll put her on, so we have a quorum to vote, so we have to, we can just vote it on it. Okay. So and all the person's Vaglio. It's I, thank you for your hard work guys. All the person's Sorenson. Okay, and I guess Phillips, is Rose still on yet or not? Okay, well, we have three. Chair votes aye, motion passes. Alrighty, next regular meeting date, October 27th, 2020. And I guess we'll entertain a motion to adjourn. Move to adjourn. Second. Motion made and seconded. Any other discussion? All those in favor? Okay, and I, Chair votes aye. We're adjourned.

I always think they know more than they actually do Know anything early does he hasn't spoken about it yet And let's see Roger I've been wanting to speak to you I have to I stayed out of the office today I had to see my lawyer before we talked and you know how long those things take Yes, I suppose I do Here he is Roger this is Solomon Come on. Oh Well, hello to you old fellow. Hello. Say hello. Say a verse. Say the jib is laughing. Say anything David It's all just ignoring maybe I'll come out of his shell. He came out decades ago You know David coming up here to visit you in Claudia's a tonic I think Christmas was meant for people like you. We don't really need Christmas I suppose that's why it's so nice to have it. Well, whether you need Christmas or not I've come up here to give you my gift. I bet it's beautifully wrapped as a matter of fact not wrapped at all I'm glad it would have made me very self-conscious.  No No, Roger's trying to tell us You can't even hold in your hands. I can't imagine. I'm going to offer David No, let me begin a little further back Few days ago. I told David that I was thinking of giving up firm. I Hardly thought it was worth carrying on. It's worth it Roger if you want it exactly I've had the firm quite a number of years. I don't see how you could give it up Roger Well, I've decided that I can't let go either Not yet But I haven't been thinking only of myself It's not a very nice thing that this season of the year To tell a man he's got to go and look for another job. Well, it can't always be helped Roger I know but when it can it should be You wouldn't Claudia just getting settled you need whatever security you can have And I believe in you David. I believe you're going to be a great architect and Some day I'm going to be proud of having had you as a partner Roger did Did you say partner if you'll accept? I've come here tonight to offer you a partnership in my firm. I mean our firm That's a That's a very fine offer. It's the best that I can give you And I wouldn't want her to have any less David couldn't ask for more. I don't know Claudia I've been feeling very tired and a bit old But now I think I can pull through the mess we're in but not alone I Need help and I'm asking David for it. You're not asking for anything. He doesn't want to give Roger David You won't find this partnership a very rich one We'll have to share my drawing account until things get so that there's enough for two It probably won't even be anything as regular as the salary. You're getting now. Well, who cares about that? I do for you as a matter of fact On my way up here. I Fancy that I was bringing you a gift At least I tried to believe that But in hearing myself make the offer I Feel rather like the captain who's asked you to remain on his sinking ship The gift is to myself then Then you don't know what you're giving me You're giving me my chance at Independence at working for myself doing just those things that I like best Building something that's going to be ours. I Don't think you could have given a more generous gift Roger But you you don't have to accept you know Just think it over So I don't have to accept do I know if you don't that's what the man said I guess I'll I'll just have to think it over Yeah, but guess you better. Well, I've thought it over so that what do you think me same as you mr. Kilian you have just acquired yourself a new partner. Well Well, it's good news Honestly, Roger now tell me did you think I'd say no? Did you think that I'd pass up an offer to be your partner to work with you? for us Well, frankly, I hope very much would say yes David seriously one thing If you ever get an offer that's decent really good Some place where you'll have the backing to develop this freight terminal idea of yours You grab it. No, we're we're going to develop that freight terminal idea together Roger you and I It may take us a little more time than we well Anyway, we'll we'll do it no matter how long it takes Roger I Can't tell you what you've given us. I've given you absolutely nothing but thank you and Very Christmas partner.

It means not having to keep up with the Jones There's no formal dinner parties and mr. Carrington and his board means no big salary every week isn't it wonderful? I think so. I think it's very wonderful. I never wanted any of that. Did you?  Oh David Now we don't have to go to Chicago at all. Do we we've been to Chicago darling.
