Stephen and Mallory give Kepler some much needed attention as he threw up a hairball right after breakfast. Because Kepler threw up, Stephen did not want to give him more food which would upset his stomach further. Kepler not being happy with this, began to misbehave by messing with the curtains as well as threatening to destroy some wires. After some time had passed, Stephen gave Kepler a tiny bit of food which he has thankfully not thrown up.

Stephen goes on to say that a few weeks if not months ago, Stephen talked about him becoming somewhat constipated and was questioning if this was his "new normal". Since then, he's become regular, but has occasional bouts of constipation, going from once a year to roughly once a month. Stephen hoped to go to the bathroom before going to lunch where he and Mal plan to meet up with Thomas and Brittany for lunch.

Following up on yesterday, Stephen informs us that he feels good after getting both his COVID-19 booster shot as well as his flu shot. Mallory got a few chills last night but feels fine today other than a sore arm. Stephen mentions that after his first dose, he didn't have any side-effects other than a swollen lymph node that was swollen for a month, and that after his second dose, while he felt no major side-effects, he felt exhausted for five weeks.

Later, Stephen and Mal head to a bookstore where Stephen tries to surpise Thomas, which didn't work out too well because Thomas noticed them walk in. Brittany shortly joins them and then they all head out to Nacho Hippo, a Tex-Mex restaurant. For lunch Thomas gets some nachos, Brittany and Stephen get tacos, and Mal gets a quesadilla.

After lunch Lindsey briefly joins the group with Leia and Lolly. Stephen tries to say goodbye to Thomas, but Thomas says he needs to say goodbye in a more interesting way. Thomas says "Skippidoowop Pow!" and Stephen remixes that phrase along with some great visuals.

Back at home, Stephen and Mal have some yakisoba for dinner. Stephen mentions that he spent time working on Karley and Kyle's engagement photos and once Mal looks over them, he can get back to his normal work. Stephen says that he and Mal have felt a little sick, but it could just be that they didn't sleep to well. The feeling however didn't last too long. Stephen says that he'll be getting a haircut tomorrow.
