 Good morning. It's Saturday. I just woke up. It's 7 12 a.m. Drew has already vacuumed and I have sick Good morning. So the reason I'm vlogging is because we're having our coffee and I was like wait I'm gonna grab my camera because I really want to try I haven't tried the brown sugar oat milk Espresso drink from Starbucks, and I don't even know if they have it anymore I think now they just have a shake in espresso, which is a latte that they shake So I'm sure there will be many of you that are telling me that I'm doing it wrong. I don't care This is the recipe that I saw so you basically take brown sugar the tiniest dash of vanilla The tiniest dash of cinnamon and then you mix it with ice and espresso and you shake it And then it makes it like foamy. I guess I'm not super into foamy drinks, but we'll try it So first I guess I need my brown sugar. Oh, thank you some of the recipes had you make a simple syrup and then some had You just put it in with the Espresso so I don't know we'll frequency got the cinnamon and Oh And got the vanilla. All right, so start with brown sugar. I'm gonna do like a Table spoon that's how much sugar I would prefer in my drink I'm sure there are people that would like more but one tablespoon. I don't sweeten my coffee I just use oat milk, so we'll see okay cinnamon. Do I put cinnamon in with the espresso? I don't know I'm just gonna do a dash this feels very fall I'm very confused as to why this was like a spring drink and then some vanilla Just some little baby splash. So there's the mixture. I guess I should put in ice you shake it with ice But that's I'm gonna melt the sugar first I also was told one time when I made an espresso like remember how we used to put the ice in our glass and then let the What I think it's my face wash from last night We used to put ice in the glass and like let the espresso go over and then someone told me that that actually shocks the espresso So I don't bring them out make it better or something Listen people have very strong opinions about coffee. Okay espresso time. Here we go Why is that the most satisfying sound ever I'm gonna shake it first just without Any ice in it cuz I just want it to melt The sugar that's shaking up pretty good. It's a little foamy I'm fine with that. I'm just scared to like shake hot liquid and glass for too long I do one more shake. Okay, so then I guess you put the ice and then your oatmeal. Should I shake it with the ice, too? Yeah, it just smells like a fall drink Feel like all that did was just melt the ice. So great. It is shaking though And then I'll put some oat milk Test this baby out We've been trying all different kinds of oat milk. This one isn't my favorite, but We like the barista blend. I mean, it's pretty There we have it I'm gonna just mix it up a tiny bit more official taste test. Cheers whoa It's good actually it just it literally tastes like fall. I think you'll really like it Do you mind if I show you first thing in the morning? I mean it's cinnamon So just it tastes like a like a folder. I know I drink it Who likes it? I'm just not a big flavored drink person Like I am not trying to hate on people who go to Starbucks But when y'all go to Starbucks and it looks like a grocery list like for your order It's like two pumps of this one pump of this one pump of this extra this extra foam extra caramel And then people are like screen shot this if you want to order it I used to be obsessed with like frappuccinos and all that but it's just like It's weird the older you get for me anyways like the more adverse I am to like super sweet things Like I like or I guess coffee drinks I should say like I used to the thought of not putting so much cream and sugar in my coffee made me feel ill But now like this is a little sweet for me Yeah It kind of does actually I don't taste any coffee. I do a little bit, but it's okay I would give it like an eight out of ten because it's really good But it's I just don't know if it's like for me, but it is very tasty I would recommend trying it if you like kind of like fall-esque drinks That's like right up Drew's alley. He loves like nutmeg cinnamon. He loves chai. So I feel like you'd like it It's good. I'm gonna drink it, but it's like I should have just made a latte. Okay. Good morning Shining off for me and my zit cream Also for today's chia pet update here is where we've come We are sprouting it just looks repulsive. I don't know why it's really freaking me out Especially this one on the back of her head Like hello. Yeah, look like a little bug. That's pretty pretty rank, but there we have it There is the the next chia pet update. Make sure to subscribe for more. It's a little while later I am wearing the same thing, but I have since eaten breakfast brush my teeth and washed off by zit cream. So Progress, but I'm actually waiting in the car right now outside of the vet We are doing a check up with Mu and I decided to drive so that Drew can hold Mu in the carrier Because Mu gets really anxious in the car and he just does better if there's like more than one person And it's just safer for the person driving to like be able to focus on driving and not have to check on him And stuff. So I decided to accompany them today. They're inside I love that there are still vets here that are like not letting you gather and congregate indoors Like they call you in you're only allowed to bring one person and yeah, there's nothing particularly wrong with Mu It's just kind of like over the last probably year He's had a little bit of stomach issues and I'm not gonna get into the details because Whoa, but he's been on like a variation of different medications for his stomach issues like Prednisone all sorts of different stuff and he had tried out a new medication over the last like month And it was a basically a chemo like a version of a chemo Because of the stuff that's going on with him and so that's not really working So we're trying to like find some other Methods to hopefully help him feel good. The good thing is he's maintaining his weight. He's eating very a lot And he's behaving completely normally. So it's really just when he goes to the bathroom I'll just leave it at that but yeah, we're trying to figure out some solutions So that he is the happiest healthiest cat ever Drew should honestly have like a frequent flyer card at this place like one of those punch cards because he comes here like every couple weeks It's just part of it party being a pet parent, you know, it's interesting that drew was like 19 I think when he got Mu and I was 22 or 23 when I got Layla So it's just funny how like you think oh, I just want this cute little pet And it's gonna be so fun and adorable and it is it is very much that but also you don't realize that you're gonna be in Your 30s and you're still gonna be shelling out like hundreds if not thousands of dollars at a time to make sure that your pet is Well-cared for and it's like I think a lot of people don't think about that when they look into getting pets And I'm not trying to discourage anyone from getting a pet like getting Layla and like inheriting Mu or whatever you want To call it is the best thing that's ever happened to me But it's just something that like I never really thought about until Years and years and years later. It's just continued to happen like having pets is very expensive And I'm sure having kids is more expensive But anyways feeling so fortunate that we're like in a position where we're able to you know Provide good care for our pets. I know there's pet insurance and things like that But our pets are too old and have too many pre-existing conditions for that. So anyways, it is Saturday I think I mentioned that when I started filming I don't know what we're gonna get up to today. This is kind of like right in the middle of the day It's like 11 something right now. That's the middle of the day for me now apparently because I wake up at like Quarter to six these days just like naturally. I don't understand. I don't know so to me It feels like the middle of the day, but it's literally the morning It's just getting so warm here that it's like I would have loved to have maybe gone to the farmers market Walked to a coffee shop or something But we would have had to have done that like quite a bit earlier in the day So maybe we'll do that like another weekend. Yeah, I don't really know what we're gonna get up to but we'll see Okay, we got the fam back in the car and Who's doing okay? He's just gonna like continue his medication, right? Basically. Basically. Well, he's gonna they did more tests, but Funnily enough the exit that we get on to the freeway like near the vet was closed And so we have to take a detour and we're basically going through a must-be-bolt trash day We're going through our neighborhood of the very first house. We lived in together when we moved in together Four years ago almost three and a half years ago. Let's see how our Ernie's oranges are doing Ernie our old next-door neighbor He hated us and he loved our roommate. Oh my gosh Wait, we have not been here since we moved out. It's so weird to the same It's exactly the same. I'm not stopping There's more like the yard is like better maintained There's our old bedroom I'm not gonna show it because I just don't it's it's a Friend of ours house and his mom lives there now, so we don't want to like disturb them Also, um, this was where that guy got murdered Like right it was like this house right here I think with the blue garage Yeah, because the one because the one it was the one either across the street or it was one of these two Was the drop house remember no way wait, I think this was where he lived the neighborhoods not looking fantastic always like this Nobody nobody Send me venue Okay, buddy. It's funny how like we have four-way stops and I don't know how they work But then like when it's like American, I mean, I don't I can't speak for all Americans like a roundabout Yeah, we don't know what to do. No, every every man for himself in the roundabout You just go easy you just flow with the traffic when people especially here There's like a couple spots in like North Phoenix where you have to go through roundabouts or in like I want to say Maybe like Gilbert or something where you have to go through roundabouts and people here lose their minds going there Yeah, driving up North And people do not know what to do with themselves. It's so funny. It's like you literally just go the reason why my mom Will not drive up to Sedona is because of the roundabouts. She makes me drive Yeah, when we went up there last time I had it That's one reason why I drove when we went up there with her because she doesn't like doing the round I'm like It's really easy. It's so funny. You literally just go you just flow Your way you just go you stay in the lane that Hilarious well, that was unexpected, but I was like well, we're literally right next to it We might as well just drive through it and we did if you've never driven past an old house before You should try it. That was wild. We've come so far We were different people when we lived there Yeah, a lot of life has happened I Was coming home from work one time. I don't think you were living you were living there I don't remember. Anyways, I was coming home from work and there was there were always like vacant houses or Just very rundown houses in the neighborhood. There's no one lived there and there was a vacant house But there were people Who I don't know if they were squatting. They probably were that happened a lot in our neighborhood But they one day they were just sitting out in their truck next day Come driving back the same way and they had filled the back of their truck with water Yeah, they were doing like a pickup truck like a yeah And they were just There's just a lot more of a drug issue in this area as well like, you know Unfortunately that guy got murdered on our street for trying to basically intercept like a Intercept like a home invasion. Yeah, and there were on our street They were like at least two or three abandoned houses and they had to cover them up with plexiglass like on all the windows Because all the windows got shattered And there were just there was always Helicopters gunshots you hear about stabbings right by our house and like you never cared I was always like freaking out whenever I would hear that stuff And you'd be like our roommate would be like you hear about the murder last night and you'd be like no I slept through We're like But yeah, it's really cool to have visited there because also like it has a lot of Meaning to both of us because like our friend lived there and if you followed us back then and watched our vlogs Like I'm not gonna like tell your story But basically Drew lived there with one of his best friends his best friend unfortunately passed away And then we chose to continue to live there. I moved in His family couldn't afford the mortgage and so basically we lived there for another you live there for like another almost two years after he died and Because it's not a thing that's not like a YouTube clicks thing. It's like just a real-life thing I mean I think they thought it was like there was drama with our room. Yes people like I would say like oh we can't really move stuff around in the house because and people thought that it was because like We had drama with our roommates. No not at all. Our roommates were amazing. They were wonderful. Probably the best roommates I've ever had because yeah, we all kept you and when you guys went through a really traumatic event together And so like that obviously like bonded you in a unique way So no it was like we didn't move the stuff in the house because none of the stuff with ours It was Drew's best friends and so we out of respect to his family They asked for us not really move a lot of stuff and just kind of keep things the way they were and so yeah His mom ended up moving into that house after we moved out and it worked out really well And like everything is you know as good as it can be in a tragic situation like that But yeah, that's real life that's there's people don't talk about online that go on in their real life, but yeah Not the greatest Neighborhood I would say but it's really cool to go back and like that was our first place We ever lived in together, you know, that was like sort of where that's where like Layla and move became Tolerant of each other Yeah, we have like so many memories there so Oh Anyways, that's what's going on This neck of the woods We're in line to get our lunch and look at this guy look at him He usually like he'll poke his head out and look and then he will like pop it back down after a second, but yeah, he's Like kills me. Okay, we're picking up lunch now
