Journal Entry: Sat. June 11th 2022

Saturday, June 11th 2022

I wake and brew Crowded Barrel Coffee Co. Send Nubes, Willet Bourbon Barrel-Rested Coffee in my mustache mug, and then I journal and post on Vocal while I listen to RUSH's, 'Fly By Night.'

I make a sandwich: toasted English Muffins; lathered vegan butter; peppered baby spinach; plopped, juicy tomato slice; plooped Impossible Sausage Patty; smacked Vegan Follow-Your-Heart Gouda Cheese; drizzled, sizzling, smoky Tempeh Bacon; dropped, toasted Just Egg Fold; sprinkled salt, black pepper, and red cayenne pepper; and blasted hot sauce- a fuckton.

I feast.

Fucking mind-blowing.

But I don't stop there: I have a mandarin orange and raw almonds.

While I feast I watch a new episode of The Whiskey Vault on YouTube.

I do the dishes while listening to RUSH's, 'Caress Of Steel.' I almost collapse from the pain. I'm so tired. My back and legs hurt so badly. I almost stop in the middle, but I stick it out. After I take three ibuprofen tablets and burst into tears. Shelby helps me put an ice pad under me, and I lie in bed listening to Julien Baker's, 'Sprained Ankle.'

After I finally feel a little better I make tea.

I heat filtered, water to 203 Degrees Fahrenheit in my black, Fellow EKG Gooseneck Kettle and steep two teaspoons of Hojicha Roasted Green Tea for five minutes in my Mike Wazowski mug. I purchased the tea at The Tea Table online. I highly recommend them.

While I make tea I listen to Phoebe Bridgers', 'Stranger in the Alps (Deluxe Edition).'

I check the mail and then sit on the couch with Shelby and journal while she watches a comedy special. I decide not to take a shower. I'm too worn out. I start listening to RUSH's, '2112.'

I drink a blueberry/spinach smoothie with protein powder, cinnamon, agave, and almond milk. I also eat carrots and raw almonds.

I brush my teeth; then brew Crowded Barrel Coffee Co., Send Nubes, Willet Bourbon Barrel-Rested Coffee in my Z's Divine Espresso mug.

I listen to RUSH's, 'A Farewell to Kings.'

I text my parents to see how they're doing on their trip, and they call me. My mom says I should go to the Emergency Room for my pain. But I don't want that bill. I can wait two days I think for my scheduled appointment. Mom doesn't think I have cancer. She things stress is causing my weakness and back pain. But then what about my problems urinating?

I pour some Burnside Bourbon from Portland, Oregon in my glencairn.

I journal on my computer and create a timeline for my health.

I listen to RUSH's, 'Hemishpheres,' and, 'Permanent Waves.'

I order from Mas Veggies Vegan Taqueria – Burbank. I order a loaded burrito and an asada taco.

I feast.

While I feast we watch Ted Lasso season 1.

I have another bourbon.

Shelby and I take a shower together.

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 watch more Ted Lasso, and then I go to bed.

In bed I listen to RUSH's, 'Moving Pictures.' So far I'm loving every single RUSH album.

Then we go to sleep.

And that's it.

That's my day.

That's Saturday, June 11th 2022
