We're At 200,000 Now (Day 3540 - 8/4/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3539) | Next Vlog (Day 3541)

They are driving up to Charlotte today to celebrate their anniversary 2 days early. Stephen says that he plans on visiting game stores and looking for a new office chair. It is a 3-3.5 hour drive and Stephen says that he hasn't been feeling well.

They drive part way and Stephen realizes that he forgot to show that the car reached 200,000 and it was already 50 miles over. Later, they reached Charlotte and went to 2 different Video Game World locations. Stephen says that they had gone there back in March and he got 2 GameCube games and a few Wii games. He says that his not going to focus on collecting Wii/Wii U until after Extra Life 2019 happens. They are currently are having dinner at Culver's and Stephen is still feeling sick so he just ate a salad. If he was feeling well he would've gotten a burger instead.

Next, they walked around Ikea. They both agreed to only buy things that would fit in the car because they don't trust Ikea to deliver anything to them after they took multiple weeks to deliver their furniture. In Ikea, they found a headboard that they liked but they were unable to buy it because it wouldn't have fit in the car. Mallory ended up getting some dish drying pads and picked up something that Lindsey requested them to buy. They were planning to buy cinnamon rolls, but they ran out so they decided to get frozen custard at Culver's which is in the same strip mall. Mal suggests that maybe it's the students who are moving into UNC since school is starting soon. She says that everything in Ikea was low in stock, so maybe the students bought furniture and got cinnamon rolls on the way out.

Afterwards, they go to their hotel and Stephen goes to the bathroom and clogs the toilet. Mal is troubled as she also needed to use the toilet, but Stephen clogged it. They called the front desk and found out that only one lady was working in the entire hotel. She promised to bring a plunger to them, but that was 30 minutes ago. They knew that the lady was busy and didn't want to be rude by rushing her so they decided to wait for 15 more minutes. While waiting the smoke detector starts beeping due to the battery being low. There were also other issues with the room such as the bathroom sink drain not working and the fridge being noisy. The lady finally comes and brings a plunger and a smoke alarm battery. Stephen just ends of replacing the battery himself since he's really tall. He mentions that while the lady was helping them she had received another phone call on the front desk phone she had on her.

Stephen says that he felt sick all day and he took some Tylenol to help. They will probably watch some house hunting shows on HGTV before going to bed. The only plans for tomorrow are to go to an office supply store to look at office chairs.
