A Day In The Life ( slow day as a realtor )

Hi you guys, welcome to or welcome back to my YouTube channel. Today is Thursday, we are spending the day together. I have not been feeling the best and I feel like it's because of my surroundings. I've been extremely stressed out and just need a fresh reset. Today Arabella is in school, so we are staying home. I was gonna go to my office today and do some work, but I figured I feel like my house needs work, so— and I can do everything from home. So that's what we're doing today. We're spending the day together, we're cleaning up the house, resetting everything. And yeah, if you've never seen me, hi, my name is Natalie Barnes. I'm a licensed realtor in Palm Coast, Florida, and I specialize in new construction. I'm a mom to a 3-year-old, I have 2 dogs, and a husband who is a cop. So our lives are very, very busy. But I just wanted to show you guys what a slow day in my life looks like. Currently it's around— I think it's like 1 o'clock now, but I already— I started my day out driving Arabella to school. I went to a quick therapy session, and now I'm back home kind of starting my day. I have a lot to do. We have laundry, we have to clean the rooms, and just reset the whole entire house. So come along with me today when I'm not as packed as I normally am. Fast, I want to show you guys this. Sam built this with his stepdad. Let me turn you guys around. And I am so obsessed with this. Sam literally built this with his stepdad. He didn't hire anyone. They built it by themselves. So that's crazy to me. And it's on right now because I'm always cold. And my phone is ringing. But I'm always cold, so I always have that on. I just finished crying because I get really overwhelmed very easily, and sometimes I, uh, don't know how to handle it. So I'm working on it. I want to make my bed and clear my head, so Let's make the bed now. A whole thing of laundry I have to do, and I really don't want to do it.

It looks like Sam already It is— I'm gonna put all this away. I don't know if that looked cool.

I'm hoping it did. I'm hoping that looks really cool. But I still have to organize my area over there. I have a lot of work, so stuff and just like trash, and I just want a clean space. I feel like that would make me feel so much better, so let's go clean that. I don't know if I'm the only one that sleeps with a heating pad every single night, but it is literally the only way I could fall asleep. And then I kick it off in the middle of the night because I get too too hot, but I get cold super, super— wow, my hair is really— I get cold really, really easy. So I sleep with a heating pad, and me and Sam have separate comforters that we sleep with. Like, I sleep with this brown one and then he sleeps with the duvet every night. Um, it works out for us pretty well, but I'm just trying to separate my work stuff with my personal stuff because I feel like my work stuff is just everywhere and it's contributing to my anxiety. Why do I have this, this here? I feel like this does not belong in here at all. So that goes with my work stuff.

There's—

I got all new hair extensions too, which is amazing. So that means I have to throw out all of these, which I'm gonna go do that now and. And then I have to go put this in my office. Sam these boxers for Christmas, and turns out they were little boy boxers. So I don't know the difference between a little boy boxer and full-on man boxers, so we're gonna donate these. Okay, everything in our bedroom is put away. I'm gonna tackle the kitchen now because it's a mess. I made dinner last night and everything is just everywhere, and then I started the dishwasher this morning so I have to undo it. Dogs are right there. I just did another set of laundry, and then I have to do Arabella's laundry upstairs, and then also put all the stuff that I said I was going to put in my office back into my office. I can't make this stuff up. I'm doing the dishes and I go to turn on the garbage disposal and the whole entire sink is leaking. I'm not even kidding you. And I think it's been leaking for for like a little bit because there's water damage on the sides. Oh my God, ew, of this cabinet. This is not how I want to be spending my Thursday. The good news is they fixed it already. So he— thank God we live in a new construction neighborhood where they're still working on houses., and I'm friends with the superintendent of construction, so I just gave him a quick call and was like, "Oh, it's kind of an emergency, my whole sink is leaking." So apparently I must have, or Sam must have, one of us must have bumped the pipe. I guess it came loose, maybe it wasn't completely screwed on. I don't know, but he fixed it, thank God, and we have to let it air out for right now. Um, I've been doing emails on my iPad and just kind of finishing up what I need to follow up on today. I'm actually happy they were here so I could stop for a second and do a little more work. But never a dull moment, never a dull moment. So I think what I'm gonna do now is finish up a couple more emails and then get back to cleaning. I still have my Dunkin' Donuts drink. I barely have drinking it— drinking it— I barely have Sipped it. Okay, we're in my office now. As you guys can see, this is really outdated. I need to take it down. What my plan is, is to actually make this a vision board. Even though I bought all this stuff for Arabella, we don't do work in here because I get really frustrated. But I figured I'd make this like my new, my new mood board for the year. Stick this cute little sold sign and try and get really motivated in here. I still need to decorate. I've pushing it off a lot. I have everything in my cart, I just haven't bought anything. So let's do this, we'll take everything down and then go from there. Okay, new thought. I spent all this money on all these different types of borders and I kind of still want to use them. Um, I think that's what I'm gonna do. I just don't know. I think I'm gonna do these cute little suns because they're really, really cute. I hope I have enough. That's what we're gonna do. I will be printing out photos, probably from Pinterest, and my own photos to cover this whole entire board, but I think that's where I'm gonna stop today because I don't have anything else. And I actually do like the borders, and I like how they're going inward instead of outward. I felt like that was giving me a little anxiety that they just weren't matching. So much better improvement. I'm finishing my work day up now. Um, I'm waiting on one more email to send my client, and then I need to schedule an inspection for next Monday. So I'm ending the video off here. Thank you guys so so much for watching my YouTube video. Even though today was kind of scattery and not my typical come with me, let's go look at houses type of video, I felt like this is— this one was well needed. But yeah, thank you guys so much for watching, and I will see you guys in my next video.

Bye, guys!
