Previous Vlog (Day 3475) | Next Vlog (Day 3477)

Stephen says that he has been up for many hours and has spent all that time on the toilet because his stomach isn't feeling well. He said that it felt like he had food poisoning, but he and Mallory ate the same foods and she was alright. Stephen decides to only have a couple pieces of toast for lunch since his stomach isn't feeling well. He struggles with getting the bread because the bread is double wrapped.

Stephen then says that they are planning to go to Home Depot to look for spider killer spray since they have seen a large amount of black widow spiders outside the house. He was worried because he has not seen this many black widows during the long time he has lived in Myrtle Beach and is concerned that the black widows may cause harm to the cats. He says that in the last house they had problems with earwigs. They then went to Home Depot and got a spider killer spray.

Back at home, Mal goes around the perimeter of the house spraying the spider killer. Stephen mentions that they left the yard toast as they were. Stephen mentions that it has been really hot lately and shows the skeletal remains of a lizard and a dead baby snake next to it who died from the heat.

Later, Stephen does a shout out to all the Patreon producers. He then talks about how a year ago on this day was when he decided to split the timeline. Stephen says that it was in 2017 when vlogs started to get really behind since they were going on a lot of trips, and he was doing a lot of work on StephenPlays and StephenVlog. He says that he was behind by about 4-5 months and the aspect of not having them done weighed down heavily on him. Stephen mentioned how there were also messages and comments he saw from people who might of meant well, but caused immense harm to him. These people were commenting that they had no interest in watching any of the vlogs because they weren't current. Stephen says that at the time he put a lot of thought into deciding whether to split the timeline or not. He says that the work for StephenPlays now has gotten slightly better now that Dan has been helping him with editing.

He then talks about how he has an order to how he does his work. StephenPlays content comes first because it's the only thing that has ever had a schedule, then it is the vlogs from the new timeline, next is the old timeline vlogs, and  finally additionally things like Fallout 4. Stephen mentions that sometimes he can't release certain vlogs until he finishes parts of ''Fallout 4. ''He says that he will defintely never be introducing a 3rd timeline and apolgizes about how behind the old timeline vlogs are. But, he doesn't regret his decision to split the timeline bceause he is happier and healtheir working on current vlogs instead of working on vlogs from months ago.
