Boxes, Boxes, BOXES! (Day 3366 - 2/11/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3365) | Next Vlog (Day 3367)

The vlog starts with Mallory driving and singing part of a Bambi song called "Little April Shower". Mal says that Carlos was asking for a good song that represents rain and that was the first one that came to her mind. So, she sent a link to the song to him. Mal said that the song was stuck in her head and it was currently raining so it reminded her of the song. Stephen said that they were going to pick up another prescription for his ear that has an ear infection because it still hurt and he finished his first prescription of antibiotics. Stephen called the ENT since he still had ear pain so the ENT prescribed him prednisone instead of more antibiotics.

He said that they are also going to post office to pick up some packages. They picked up the packages and drive to get Stephen's prescription. Stephen said that he opened the mailbox and found a slip and 2 keys which meant that he had to go the post office and pick up the packages. Stephen took the keys and opened the P.O. boxes to get packages himself, while Mal took the slip inside the post office to get the other mail. Mal had to wait in a line of 8 people and the room was very small. After Stephen got the packages from the P.O. boxes, he waited for Mal. He sat at a table with a bunch of priority mail boxes on it at the end of long hallway where all the P.O boxes were. Stephen then tells Mal about how an older woman around 60-65 years old came in the post office and walks towards the table he was sitting at. He says that he thought that the older woman came to get a priority mail box, but she patted the boxes and said "Boxes, Boxes, Boxes!" and then proceeded to leave the post office.

Mal then also tells Stephen about something that happened in the post office while she was waiting in line. She said that there were 8 people in line and 1 person working at the desk since the room was so small. Mal then said that post master comes out of the office and said that he can't do any checkout transactions, but he said that he can help people who are picking up mail. She said that she and an older man behind her in line then move to the counter where the post master was. Mal says that she hands the post master a yellow slip and the man behind her hands him a out-of-state driver's license in order to prove his identity to get the mail. The post master then asks the man what address he is picking up mail for and the man replies that he doesn't know. The post master then asks if he knows the sub-division, street, or house number and the man said that he knows the sub-division but no other information. The post master then tells the man that he is not going to search through all the mail just to find his name.

Stephen then talks about how even some young people forget their address just like the older man in the post office that forgot his address. He talks about how some viewers, who have sent in mail, do not know the layout to write out addresses. Stephen and Mal pick up Stephen's prescription and then head home.

They return home and Stephen talks about how you're supposed to take prednisone in a certain way where you take a lot of pills starting the first day, and for the next consecutive days you take a lesser and lesser amount of pills. He says that they even include a schedule outlining how you should take them. Stephen then talks about how they are having pizza for dinner. Mal made a cauliflower crust pizza in an iron skillet because she is doing a low-carb diet and Stephen made a more traditional pizza that was cooking in the oven. Stephen says that pizza is like a comfort food for him right now especially with how he's been feeling lately. He then talks about how he recorded some episodes of Red Dead Redemption 2 for StephenPlays. Stephen says that recording Red Dead Redemption 2 was a bit more difficult to handle for his vertigo because it is in 3-D, while it is easier to handle Super Smash Brothers because it's in 2-D. He says that he is about halfway through the game so Red Dead Redemption 2 will still be on the channel for a while.

Kit Kat Flavor Tried: Chocolatory Special: Strawberry Maple Kit Kat

Mal was very excited to try this Kit Kat because it was such an unusual flavor combination. Stephen said that it has a slight alcohol smell. They both try the Kit Kat and said that they only taste the strawberry flavor and not any maple. Stephen says that it tastes like strawberry and something else, and that something else tastes like the Nihonshu Masuizumi Sake Kit Kat. Mal disagrees and says that it doesn't taste like alcohol at all. Stephen then says that all the flavors of Kit Kat they had tried so far have been spot on except for this one.
