May the 4th Be With You!

I still feel extremely drowsy from the meds, so I don't do laundry and sleep in.

Then I brew a freshly ground Blue Bottle Bright Blend Coffee into my Mustache Mug, before I journal and post on Vocal.

After, I change my billing of a couple of things I forgot to my new bank.

I slide an Everything Bagel into my Brave Little Vegan toaster and toast it Veganly. I veganly slather on some vegan butter, veganly slap on some heated Vegan Oven Roasted Tofurkey, and slide on some Follow Your Heart Smoked Gouda Vegan Cheese. I toast up a Just Egg Fold and top it off. I sprinkle on salt, black pepper, and red Cayenne pepper. Then I pour a fuckton of Vegan hot sauce all over that Vegan motherfucker. Good god it's beautiful. And Voila! A Vegan Sandwich, so Veganly.

And then I feast.

But I don't stop there. I eat a vegan banana, vegan mandarin orange, and vegan raw almonds. Vegan.

I do the dishes while listening to Pink Floyd's, 'More.'

I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. I use a bar of soap called Man Bar that smells like Taco Bell's meat seasoning. 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, Vegan water to 170 Degrees Fahrenheit in my black, Vegan Fellow EKG Gooseneck Kettle and steep two teaspoons of Vegan Sencha Fancy Tea for two vegan minutes in my Mike "Vegan" Wazowski mug. I purchased the Vegan tea at The Tea Table online. I highly recommend them. Vegan.

I journal.

Shelby comes home and watches You're The Worst on Hulu.

I put Big Bourbon Beard Balm in my beard and Bourbon Cologne Balm on my neck.

I make a smoothie and eat carrots and raw almonds.

I brush my teeth then brew Blue Bottle Bright Blend Coffee in my Powell's Bookstore Mug.

I sip and watch the show with Shelby.

I film an episode of Poetry Dram featuring a Drip-Droplian Sonnet paired with Whiskey of the Week: Compass Box: The Spaniard.

I film a promotional TikTok and post everywhere.

Shelby cleans out the closet, and I recycle unwanted boxes.

We watch Barry on HBO Max, and I get myself another scotch.

We order Something Vegan. I get Jade Fried Rice with Soy Chicken and Gyoza with Ponzu sauce. Shelby gets Pad Thai.

We watch the season finale of Moon Knight. It's so good. Some of Marvel's best work. I rank it 4th overall in the MCU.

Then we watch half of Cool Runnings on Disney+.

I shower with Bourbon, 2-n-1, Head and Shoulders, Shampoo/Conditioner. I use a bar of soap called Man Bar that smells like Taco Bell's meat seasoning. 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.

Then we go to bed.

And that's it.

That's my day.

That's Wednesday, May 4th 2022
