Previous Vlog (Day 4389) | Next Vlog (Day 4391)

This evening, Stephen made Mallory some hot chocolate with quite a bit of whipped cream. Stephen mentions that he and Mal have been having some sweets the past few nights. He notes that Debra made two pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving, and she had given one to him. Stephen mentions he doesn't like whipped cream due to the texture.

Stephen mentions that today is also the official unveiling of The Runaway Guys Colosseum 2022 and that it is tentatively in-person. Stephen is excited because he gets to see his friends again and raise money for charity.

Stephen then thanks the patrons and says he can't believe that 2021 is almost over. He says it feels like he's lost 2 years of his life, and that he's excited that he doesn't have to wait too much longer to see his friends. He's also looking forward to getting out of the house in 2022, as well as trying to do more in-person social activities.

Another thing Stephen is excited about is that at the start of 2022 marks 8 weeks since Mal's Surgery, which means that Mal can return to "normal life". He notes they can start determining what the rest of Mal's life will be like in April. As of today, Mal is off of pain medication. She forgot to take her medication this morning, but because she wasn't in too much pain, she decided not to take her next dose.
