AI GeneratedThe speaker decides to delay crossing a mountain pass due to heavy snow and icy road conditions, choosing instead to spend a relaxing day in the town of Aube. The day is spent working on a personal website, completing small van storage upgrades, managing anxiety, and preparing warm vegan meals while waiting for better weather to travel toward the Okanagan Valley.
Good morning everyone. So yesterday I was supposed to take a mountain pass to go to a town that I
really want to go because it's supposed to be super sunny and nice next week but they had the snowfall
warning and as someone who's born and raised in Quebec City, winter and driving in the snow it's
not a big deal for me. I'm used to it but here in the mountain range it's just way different. So I
decided because you know I'm not in a rush. I'm not like I don't have to be there a certain time.
I decided to stay in that small town called Aube which is just below the mountain range.
So I stayed there yesterday. It was supposed to snow yesterday or rain here in town and snow in
the mountain but in fact I probably would have time to drive that mountain pass because it started
raining I think at like four o'clock so whatever. So it rained all night long so I have a feeling
that the road probably right now are not the greatest there. It usually take them at least a
couple you know a couple hours to clean everything. So yeah so what I'm gonna do
I'm just finished to walk the cat and I'm just gonna go back in town not very far right now and
I will check the wi-fi, check the camera on the highway, see if we stay inside if we stay here
in town I should say or if we decide to do that mountain pass. I really want to take my time to
you know like stop and look around and all that so I want the I want the road to be nice you know
I don't want to stress I don't want to like be all slippery and all that of course. So yeah we're
gonna go check that and see what the day is gonna bring us.
All right first I need to make myself a cup of tea to wake up a little bit and have something
to eat and we're gonna check the weather but yeah I don't think that's gonna happen.
So this is one of the camera they have a lot of snow guys so this is right now here
oh this one we don't have it this one here look a little bit better but still
look icy and Princeton is just good so it's just like in this area like maybe
20 minutes from here it seems to be really bad I think we're gonna wait.
All right so I look more the weather and it's supposed to snow again even more today so yeah
I think we're gonna stay here in this town for the night and just chill you know no big rush
I'm inside my van inside my home so yeah no like I don't want to drive in that snow I prefer to
have a nice beautiful drive tomorrow morning and you know enjoy the ride and all that that
feeling stress and worry when I'm driving so I'm not gonna lie I've been spending a couple
couple minutes now on my laptop working a couple things and using wi-fi oh that was a big jump
so I've been working on my website guys yes you heard that right I already had hosting so it was
just like back to putting all everything together right now I'm quite proud of it it's not not bad
at all it was yeah just putting everything together and I just finished the bio someone
look at it and review it so yeah so I'm gonna show you a little sneak peek
so this is the website super happy about it super cute I mean it's not bad for my
you know done everything by myself and all that so I put the link on everything that I have inside
my van so if you are interested you can always check this and you know it's a nice way to support
me if you want a free way to support me you click on any amazon link and you go purchase whatever
you want your tv or anything it doesn't have to be like what I put on the link and I get a small
commission of it and yeah so it's a great way to support me I always do that to some like
people that follow on youtube that I kind of want to support I just click on the links and
you know give them a little bit of money and go shopping so yeah so now it is I'm gonna put that
live and all that so you guys gonna be able to check it out and I eventually gonna put more
stuff I think I just want that platform to be like my everything you know like everything that
I'm gonna have in the future it's all gonna be there so nice little project done I like it
so I'm gonna have breakfast because I'm hungry right now so this is my usual breakfast
oatmeal chia seed coconut flakes I put some goji berry and I had some raisin and some
plant-based milk and I'm gonna let that soak for a good five minutes and that'll be ready to go
what do you want to do the cat kitty you don't want to talk to me anymore you want to go outside
so I think I'm gonna finish my breakfast and I'm gonna go for a little walk with her again
was quite the small one this morning and I don't know over here it's really sunny and over there
it's really cloudy and look like we're gonna have a storm coming so I'm just gonna walk her and move
away from the wi-fi because I know myself if I have wi-fi I'm just gonna scroll on youtube for
the whole day and not doing anything and I have a couple little repairs that I want to do inside
the van and yeah just chill for the rest of the day all right I just parked beside this beautiful
park I think my cat doesn't want to go outside it's cold outside it's windy it's just like
um so I have a couple things that I want to do today um nothing major I purchased one second
those little baskets that the door store did today and I want to put them inside my
uh some of my door I'm gonna show you so I want to put them some of like right here you can see
yeah just right here along the door so I have a little bit more storage
so that's just my small little project that I want to do inside the van right now and I think
it's gonna be um yeah one of those days I've been like I'm gonna be honest with you been dealing
with a little bit of anxiety in the past two or three days now so I didn't have the best sleep
and it's not because I'm stressed inside the van or I'm stressed of traveling more full-time and
be out of like the town that I was like usually at um let me uh yeah it's not that it's just like
I don't know I've been dealing with anxiety for you know several years now so it's coming
come and go um so I think it's gonna be like a super relaxed day and do that mini project uh
hopefully I have the hardware to install that I think so um and yeah just chill inside the
van I think it sounds like a really good day for that all right things get messier before getting
better apparently all right this is what happened when you do some little project inside the van
so I'm gonna use those little clip that's what I did last time hold on those little thing
um so yeah last time that's what I did I just used those little clip
and put the basket there so this is what I'm gonna do so I find that I have like a little
clip like this I think it was for the electrical when we did the electrical
so I have that so I'm gonna use that's gonna be way better little screw there you go that's gonna
be perfect I really love it I'm not 100% sure what I'm gonna put yet but I know I'm gonna find
something else you know it's super like it's really nice to have like some storage in your door
I really like it um I have this one here with some storage on the door and I really enjoy it
all right I'm gonna put one more on the other side here and yeah the little project will be done
so this is where I put the third basket and this is where I have all my clothes here um so yeah
again I'm not 100% sure what I'm gonna put there but I'm sure in the next couple of days I'm gonna
fill it up uh because I like I said I really like those baskets yeah we need to go all right guys I
think I'm gonna do a little bit of video editing yes I do video editing in my bed I don't really
have a good like but I have my stand-up desk um my kitchen if you want but I really enjoy like
just be on my laptop in my bed I always did that even inside my house um so
yeah I'm gonna edit a video and probably after that we're gonna have lunch
all right so I just finished to edit the video it's almost done and I'm getting hungry I think
it's two o'clock right now um I only had breakfast so far so I'm gonna have another meal it's getting
cold I don't know if you saw it like I've been like wearing my big winter jacket all day uh
yeah I think it's gonna be a cold night tonight it's kind of like snowing raining again so I think
I'm gonna make like uh I colored my vegetables too it's just buckwheat uh potatoes and I have
some broccolis powder and then just mix that up I think I've done that recipe in one of my videos
but yeah I just just love that recipe in the winter warm me up so this is what I'm gonna make
all right this is what's look like so I put the broccolis powder and I put some water and
vegetable stock this is what I use inside a vase easier to keep the the actual like
liquid vegetable stock and I put some curry powder and some chili flake just a couple
and I'm gonna cover that and let that simmer for I don't know a good 10 minutes until
the potatoes are all nice and tender the best part about making that dish not only is gonna
warm me up when I'm gonna eat it but we warm up the van right now I have the two windows open a
little bit so the steam on the window is gonna come off like everything is good and I'm gonna
put some spinach at the end when um that's gonna be ready it's almost ready right now
so this is what it looks like I just sprinkle some nutrition yeast just at the end it's the
first time I've done that I'm sure it's going to be good which by the way like this is something
that I wanted to talk like nutrition yeast uh this is kind of like the vegan cheesy version
it tastes like cheese if you want but you don't have to put that in the fridge you don't have to
just like room temperature and yeah so I give a little cheesy flavor and things so if you live
in the van and you maybe you don't want to keep like cheese all the time in your fridge or in
your cooler I think like having a little thing of like nutrition yeast it's just like nice to
put a little bit of cheesy flavor where whatever you want so there you go so I'm gonna let that
cool down and try it all right let's try this out sure it's really hot though it's good if you
didn't never try like buckwheat by the way it's just like um I don't always get a little chewy
flavor kind of a little chewy bite into it very mild flavor and um yeah I think it's perfect
the only thing I usually put which I didn't put this time because I didn't have it but
if you have some bok choy you just chop them and like the warm it at the end you just put that and
it tastes like really good and by the way if you do have too much liquid you just remove the lid
let that evaporate and if you have not enough liquid you just add more and that's it yep
simple little winter meal in the van to warm me up all right felt good to eat um yes I ate
everything I usually don't have like I mean I usually lunch and dinner kind of in the same time
so yes so it started snowing a little bit kind of snoring raining uh my cat's sleeping and you
know what I think I'm just gonna move where I was this morning get some wi-fi and just you know
scroll on youtube and just you know watch a couple of things there finish to edit my video
that kind of stuff so tomorrow which will be the next video um we're gonna move we're gonna do that
mountain pass hopefully everything's gonna be all right tomorrow um and I'm gonna be able to
yeah to move um I'm going into the Okanagan valley which hopefully it's gonna stay like this
but hopefully next week should be around like mid-20s I was like what I need to go there you
just see the sun and a warm I don't I want to remove that big winter jacket and I want to feel
warm so this is what we're doing right now this is what I'm trying to do I should say uh so all
right so I'm gonna let you with this I hope you enjoy and don't forget subscribe guys and I will
see you soon bye
