The Thoughts and Times of Scott A. Vancil

Monday, May 30 2022
I wake up at 5 AM and do the laundry.
I put all the clothes in the washers (they're still free), but I have to take someone else's clothes out, because they left them in the washer, wet, overnight.
I listen to Avi Kaplan's, 'I'll Get By,' album.
I switch the clothes to the dryer, and then I listen to Avi Kaplan's, 'Floating On A Dream.'
I take a nice poop, and then I brew Bones Coffee Co. Carrot Cake Coffee in my Mustache Mug.
I listen to the This Is Joy Williams playlist on Spotify.
I get the clothes from the dryer and put mine away.
I switch to Joy Williams', 'Venus.' Then, before I finish, I switch to HAIM, 'Days Are Gone.'
It's a big pain day, so I take an extra strength Tylenol.
I go to bed.
I wake up at 12:30 PM and just lie in bed for awhile feeling like shit.
I make oatmeal with protein powder, cinnamon, agave, blueberries, and peanut butter. I feast, and then I do the dishes. I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. Then I lather myself with Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Soap and rinse. I then smother myself with body wash: Duke Canon THICK Bourbon Bodywash. After rinsing I rinse my hair. Then I use my Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Plant-Based Beard Wash. I rinse. I dry and comb my red beard with its elegant white streaks.
I put on Axe Apollo Fresh Stick, because they were out of Phoenix.
I heat filtered, water to 190 Degrees Fahrenheit in my black, Fellow EKG Gooseneck Kettle and steep two teaspoons of Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea for ten minutes in my Mike Wazowski mug. I purchased the tea at Mana Bar and Tea Room in Lawrence, Kansas. I highly recommend them.
Then I journal, while Shelby watches a Drag Race show.
Shelby gets depressed over her situation. We decide to go on a walk in the park. We take a lap and then walk down the street passed the library. We talk about everything under the sun. We head back passed the library again and take another lap, but I'm a little tired from the walk.
On our way back we stop by the pool, and Shelby puts her feet in the water. We go to BevMo, and I get Dragon's Milk. We swing by Tocaya Organica, and I get a quesalita and a fajita burrito. Then we go home and watch an episode of Sex Education and then Ella Enchanted.
I drink a Dragon's Milk Stout, but I'm really tired. So partway through the movie I take a two-hour nap.
I come back and we finish Ella Enchanted. I liked it much better than the first time I saw it. In high school I just quit watching in the first 20 minutes, because I couldn't stand it. This time I find it charming, and, as always, Ann Hathaway is great.
We start Enchanted on Disney+ as a double feature. I get tired halfway through.
I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. Then I lather myself with Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Soap and rinse. I then smother myself with body wash: Duke Canon THICK Bourbon Bodywash. After rinsing I rinse my hair. Then I use my Duke Cannon Buffalo Trace Bourbon Plant-Based Beard Wash. I rinse. I dry and comb my red beard with its elegant white streaks.
I put on Axe Apollo Fresh Stick, because they were out of Phoenix.
We go to bed.
And that's it.
That's my day.
That's Monday, May 30th 2022
