It's Just How Things Are (Day 3565 - 8/29/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3564) | Next Vlog (Day 3566)

They have both been doing preparations for their trip to China which has made them go crazy. But, they are finally done with all the preparations. Stephen and Dan worked hard to make sure there was enough content for StephenPlays for the entire trip along with an extra weeks-worth of content for the week after they come back. So, they will be able to relax after they come back from the trip.

Stephen then talks about how he was overambitious about wanting to release a vlog every day while they were gone. It was a lot of work to add onto the work that he already had to do for StephenPlays. So, Stephen was only able to finish editing half of the amount of vlogs he had wanted. Therefore, he will be releasing a vlog every other day while they are gone instead of releasing a vlog every day.

Mallory stayed up for 2 hours yesterday and was able to finish her painting. Stephen says that Mal only had the balloon left to paint. Today, she worked on editing the video and she still needs to schedule it. Stephen has been working on finishing the digital file which is the image you see of Mal's painting when you order any of her merchandise on RedBubble. Then, he talks about how he has been doing a good job of going to bed on time, but he is going to bed late today. He knew that he would end up going to bed late on the last day before the trip despite his efforts of going to bed early for the past couple days. So, he won't be able to wake up as early tomorrow. Stephen doesn't know what time they will arrive in Indiana tomorrow, but it's a 12 hour drive. They are staying at Chaz and Jeff's house for a day.

Stephen says that they just started packing 30 minutes ago. He is looking forward to the trip. Stephen says that the process leading up to a trip is always hard to appreciate because of all the preparations that are needed. Long-time viewers understand that how he feels leading up to the trip doesn't represent how he feels about the trip. YouTube is their job and they try to work hard at it. Stephen thanks Dan for his help since he wouldn't have been able to finish all these preparations by himself. He says that he still needs to dump this memory card, backup his computer, and some other stuff before going to bed.
