Rum Raisin (Day 3364 - 2/9/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3363) | Next Vlog (Day 3365)

The vlog starts out in Stephen's car where Stephen explains how he hasn't been driving ever since the doctor did the Epley maneuver on him. Stephen says that when he first began getting dizzy he was still able to drive since he was just sitting motionless while driving. However, after the Epley maneuver he felt sick even while sitting motionless so he couldn't drive anymore. He then talks about how Mallory usually doesn't drive and asks whether she had forgotten how to drive or whether it's like remembering how to ride a bicycle. Mal explains that she thinks it's like riding a bike where you never really forget how to do it. She says that she doesn't really like driving, but she doesn't mind it. Stephen then talks about how Mal has had to take care of him and feed the cats since he can't bend down.

Stephen mentions that he had talked to Hayley who works at a ENT audiology office and she told him not to bend over at the waist. She told him that if he bends down it will undo what the Epley maneuver has done. Stephen says that when picking things he dropped on the floor he has to squat down to get it and he can't see what he is trying picking up. Stephen then said that he and Mal are planning to going out to eat at Mission BBQ and grabbing some groceries.

Stephen and Mal then go to Mission BBQ chicken. Mal had shredded pork and chicken with coleslaw. Stephen had a turkey sandwich with baked beans. He mentions how he and Mal both really like the food at Mission BBQ and that he has started liking the turkey better than the pork.

The video then transitions to Stephen and Mal's house with a slow-mo clip of Sagan playing with feather toy. Stephen talks about how it was Saturday Game Night, but he didn't feel like playing a game so they all just chatted. He said that he had planned to record a GTA video with everyone, but that it would have to be moved to next week. Stephen talks about how he has started to feel a little bit better. However, he said it was getting tired of feeling sick. Then, he said "But you know what he is not tired of...berries" since Mal fed him a raspberry as he was finishing his sentence. He actually wanted to say "Kit Kats." Stephen then asks Mal whether they should finish eating the raspberries first or eat the Kit Kat first. Mal suggests to eat the Kit Kat first because she knew he wasn't going to like it since it was an alcohol-flavored Kit Kat. Stephen says that he has hated the taste of the last 2 alcohol-flavored Kit Kats so he almost wants to skip trying this one.

Kit Kat Flavor Tried: Rum and Raisin Kit Kat

Stephen says that it only has a slight scent of alcohol. Mal said that it tastes less alcoholic than the Nihonshu Masuizumi Sake Kit Kat. She compares the taste of the Rum and Raisin Kit Kat to an alcoholic eggnog. Stephen ate it and said the alcohol flavor was not as strong as the Nihonshu Masuizumi Sake Kit Kat, but that there was enough alcohol flavor for him to hate it. He said the Kit Kat tasted like cream cheese but with alcohol added to it.

Stephen then says that starting tomorrow he has to start these Semont Exercises in order to help with his vertigo. He was told to take it easy for 24 hours after the Epley maneuver, but 24 hours had passed so he has to start doing these execises.
