Real Choosy (Day 4425 - 1/5/22)

Previous Vlog (Day 4424) | Next Vlog (Day 4426)

For breakfast, Stephen is having oatmeal as it's good to eat while dealing with a stomach ulcer. Stephen mentions that he normally has a hot beverage in the morning such as coffee and having tea later in the day, but because coffee and black tea are acidic, he's unable to have them. Instead of either of those, Stephen is having green tea as it's more basic. He's really happy to have a hot drink especially since the temperature dropped from 70°F last week to 40°F this week. Stephen says that he and Mallory were shivering when they woke up and Kepler was also feeling cold.

Stephen goes on to say that he ended up calling the doctor to follow up on the prescription issue from yesterday and left a message with them. The doctor's office gave a time estimate of up to 2 business days meaning that Stephen may end up getting his medication on Friday. While he's waiting, Stephen says that he can just have some antacids as there are quite a bit in the house. Mal mentions that they probably have so many of them in the house as guests buy them when they're in town and leave them at the house.

Later, Stephen says that he and Mal recorded October 2021's episode of mail. Stephen says they're behind on mail, but planned to be behind as there was a lot of mail coming in because of Extra Life, and also Mal had her surgery shortly after. Stephen says that November's and December's mail videos will be out soon. Stephen makes an "Official Statement" saying that if someone wants to send food, candy, or anything edible in 2022, to send only 1 thing as they can't store things and are unable to find things in their pantry. While he and Mal appreciate people sending in food, they don't have the space, and they don't have guests in the house too often to help eat the food. Stephen says that he ends up giving some of the snacks to friends and family because they get so much of it.

To end the vlog Stephen says that it's nice getting back into filming the mail videos and hopes to get them all out soon. He also says that he hopes this is the year he ends up finishing the vlogs from 2018.
