Sunday, May 8th: Mothers' Day 2022

Happy Mothers' Day!

I dream about working at Walmart. I don't usually have Walmart dreams, but I have had them this year. One of my least favorite jobs.

I wake up and brew a freshly ground Bones Coffee Co. Mustachio in my Z's Divine Espresso mug. I journal and post on Vocal.

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 toast an English Muffin in our new, four-slotted toaster, and spread on some vegan butter. I plop some spinach down on that thing; then I place a juicy tomato slice and then a warmed, Oven-Roasted Tofurkey slice. I slide on some vegan Follow-Your-Heart Smoked Gouda Cheese. Then I sizzle up some smoked Tempeh Bacon and put them on top. I toast a Just Egg fold and mount it on top of the bacon. Topped with salt, black pepper, and Red Cayenne Pepper. Then I load it up with a fuckton of hot sauce. And Voila. A Vegan sandwich so veganly.

I feast.

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

I do the dishes. Shelby wakes up.

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

We go see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness at the Universal AMC at Citywalk. It's so good. I couldn't decide if it was my favorite MCU film or where to rank it. I'm still thinking about it. I love the character America Chavez. I would love to see her have her own show where she travels the Multiverse like Sliders but for Marvel themed things. Really the perfect film to see for mothers' day.

We come home and I drink a smoothie and eat carrots and raw almonds.

Shelby calls her mom, and I FaceTime mine for Mothers' Day.

I brew a Bones Coffee Co. Mustachio Coffee in my Powell's Bookstore mug.

Shelby watches her shows, while I pour myself a glass of Laphroaig Quarter Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

We watch Phil Wang's special, 'Philly Philly Wang Wang,' on Netflix. Then we rent the movie Blockers, because I've been wanting to see it again for awhile.

We order Mas Veggies Vegan Taqueria. I get the Loaded Burrito, Carne Asada Taco, and Tejano Style Taco. Shelby gets a Tajano Style Bowl.

We feast.

Shelby watches some of her shows.

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 Sunday, May 8th 2022
