We Have To Move (Day 3430 - 4/16/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3429) | Next Vlog (Day 3431)

The vlog starts out with Stephen saying that Alex and Hayley are going back to Birmingham. Hayley mentions that they were going to pick up Laika once they get back to Birmingham. Stephen said that he was happy that they were back to doing the regular Breakfast Stream. He mentions that they have to mail out Mal's Stardew Valley - "Cabin by the Lake" painting at the FedEx Office since they didn't have enough time to mail it before the trip.

Stephen says that he wasn't going to talk about this topic until things were all settled, but they have to move into a different house. He said that their landlord sent them a message the day before they left for Japan, and told them that she wanted to move back into that house. Stephen says that the landlord gave them at least 1 month prior notice, but since they were in Japan for 2 weeks they don't have much time remaining to find a new house to rent. He said that they don't want to be stuck in an apartment again, so they have to find a new house to rent quickly.

They went to look at one potential house today. Stephen gives a tour of the place they are looking at. He said that he liked that there was more counter space in the kitchen compared to their current house. However, he dislikes how big the living room/dining room area is. They both mention how the ceiling is oddly very high. Mal said that she wished that the screened in porch was instead a sun room. Stephen says that there is not much space, so they would only be able to display 1 shelf of video games. He then mentions that they need to get a new bed when they move because their current bed is broken. They were hoping to finally get a king-sized bed. Stephen and Mal then talk about how unnecessary the 4 doors leading to the porch were because they were right next to each other.

They return home and Stephen took a long nap. They then visit Stephen's parents to give them souvenirs from Japan. One souvenir was a small torii gate which Stephen and Mal thought represented their trip best since they went to Fushimi Inari Shrine on vlog Day 3423 where they went through thousands of torii gates. Some other souvenirs were a Fukusaya Cube which contains a Fukusaya Castella Cake, Tokyo Berne Millefeuilles chocolates (Hazelnut, Milk Chocolate, and Sweet Chocolate flavors), and strawberry cheesecake. Mal said that she brought back a lot of matcha from Japan.

Back at home, Stephen finished hooking back up the computer. They will be looking at another potential house tomorrow. Stephen mentions that this is the worst time of year to try and rent a place in Myrtle Beach.
