Friday, January 23: Implant Consult, Yoga & Choir Concert

Good day, ladies and gents. Slept well last night even though I did go to the bed late. I was trying to work on updating my blogs over the last 2 1/2 days. Anyway, I had an 8 AM emergency dentist

appointment with Dr. Turner. I thought for sure I was gonna need a crown and get drilled and all that happy horse shit. Shockingly that wasn’t true. He just whittle down the lower partial and it fit and he just said do salt rinses and the two will heal itself. That’s exactly what the dentist in Cozumel said. I asked him about the implant and his portion after the implants almost $1900. It would be two implants along with a false tooth would be an implant bridge. I have a consult with Dr. Miller on the secondfloor on Monday, February 9 at 10:30 AM. Well, I got to Mike’s and everything was good there. He isn’t really feeling that well so he went to lie. It was lying down when I got there and he rested for a while so I caught up on my blogs from yesterday and the day before when I arrive back in Philly for Cozumel Mexico. That was a good break to get that done unfortunately I didn’t order any stuff so it may be a while before it gets stuck because of the impending snowstorm, but who knows. I should’ve ordered Early anyway I went out and got Mike like a whole bunch of scripts at the independent pharmacy with grandpa that was funny as usual and then I went to the post office and mailed off Mike’s interest letter and I paid an extra 2️⃣ bucks so you know if they try to say they didn’t get the letter then we have proof that it was mailed. Mike was just kind of going to 
let it go and I’m like “dude it’s due on the 30th.“ 

Anyway, it’s now 2:05 PM and it really feels like somethings in the air that really does feel like we’re going to get a big snowstorm. Just 

sort of has that feeling in the air cause I think parts of the storm are creeping up here like socialism. I’m gonna do yoga later on and then split right after class. I have choir concert starts at eight, but I have to be there at six. Fortunately, the dress is casual and I would’ve showered right after yoga. Now I gotta grab some lunch and go to the CVS. Well, we could have up to 18 inches of snow but it still fits in line with the range of 8 to 18 inches that they’ve been talking about for the last two days. Mary’s telling me there’s already panic buying at the Mom’s organic market and Whole Foods so even intelligent people know better or panic buying. You know they have plenty of food in the fridge. It’s not like they’re pouring. They’re like only have a bag of potato chips and a bag of potatoes left dear God anyway………… 

Thursday, January 22: First Day of Work Picture Frames & Yoga

This morning I woke up from a decent night of sleep. The drugs kicked in nicely and my toothache didn’t keep me up. I talked to Mary a bit and showed up at Mike’s a little after 9 AM. On the way to work I called Colman & Turner dentistry and they agreed to see me first thing in the morning at 8 AM to work on this tooth. I am going to bring up implants just to find out what we’re talking about here so I got a quote of 4000 for   2️⃣ teeth so it 

would be 6️⃣ grand to do three teeth. So it’s gonna be a very interesting six months cause probably in the next six months I’ll be applying for Medicare and
that’s my latest thought. Anyhow, Mike and I made a couple calls. Nichole showed up and we’re going to be submitting our photographs on 29 January for the Sketch Club passionate art for both of us got accepted. I wrote a review on tank girls for loopy and now I gotta write a review for byron and Hot Yoga , Philadelphia. I just have to get 
my brain around it. Anyhow, feel OK right now and I’m really relieved the tooth is not killing me. Anyhow, I just got notified of this article written in the Wall Street Journal how we’re just as a country self-destructing ourselves. The article states it, China and Russia don’t have to do anything to hurt our standing as a countryin the world Trump‘s doing afine job at that. anyhow, I met Mary around noon to settle out the photographs for the exhibit we had them custom framed and I paid about $100 and changed for a custom frame for my photo. They’ll be done by next Wednesday, which is good because that the deadlines on 

the following Thursday we then after that we then went to lunch at the café and I had myself a wrap. I thought I was going to leave quicker but ended up talking about dental implants. I remember when Auditor General Bud Dwyer shot himself on live TV 39 years ago on January 22, 1987. I read the comments on the 

Facebook post and then it snowed 8.8 inches that day. It was a snow day for a lot of people. I know the state didn’t close because they never close except during that 34 inch blizzard we had in 1996 a year earlier. In general winners were brutal for a long period of time
now we have in Philly 2️⃣ rough weeks at the end of every January that are just friggin galactically awful with snow and frigid temperatures but rest of the time it’s usually mid 30s, which is pretty easy. Well, the talk this week is about the impending snowstorm coming on Sunday. It’ll start first thing in the morning on Sunday weather forecast range from now 8 to 18 inches it’s all over the map. I love how the Internet just making fun of the procrastinators and also the news for trying to hype it up. I’ll never forget John Bolaris reporting on the storm in the century back and then mid 90s and gotten Hooten 



and he was laughed out of the city and had to go to New York for a few years, cause he was mocked and it was a beautiful thing. 

Wednesday, January 21: Leaving Cozumel. Arriving to Philly

Mary and I got up around 5:30 AM for a 45 minute 6 AM yoga class down outside. Today was the mild this morning of all the mornings we were here. We went down for yoga and that was very pleasant. Then we went up to our room to get our final packing done and I took a shower because I was a bit sweaty. I then almost cracked my ankle and fell down as I was leaving the room. That was a little bit scary. Anyhow, met up with Linda and Dave and we paid for the taxi ride with the last of my pesos that I had left. That ride was pretty smooth then we got to the boat for the 8:00 AM boat ride. 

Well we arrived at the boat and the boat was really rocky. Mayor got seasick and eventually Dave and Linda came in the inside part. I couldn’t believehow much this boat rocked. It’s a big boat, but it really is rocky and shit. I felt flat on my face trying to move around. Well, the 9 o’clock ADO 


bus turned to a 928 bus to eight 9:50 AM radio Bus to the airport glad we left early. well, the lady Bus did arrive at the airport. Lynne and Dave

ran off because they’re afraid they were going to miss their plane. Looks like they made it in plenty of time. We saw them boarding. Mary 

and I especially meet a junk food  & I started editing my blogs. It gave me something to do while waiting around. The flight left on time. 
I was a pretty smooth flight. We actually arrived in Philadelphia a half hour early, which is a good thing because we had to wait about eight minutes for the Uber and 
the traffic heading back into town was kind of bad. And Mary said she’s hungry I should order the Indian while we’re sitting in the Uber so we did 
brought herself back stuff back home and I put on my winter coat that I had left. I have choir rehearsal next-door in 45 minutes is now 6:16 PM found out that Mike justgot home today a little before 5 PM today. Mike has not made any contacting me. He did contact Mary however. He still has no phone and one of his Mom’s Meals orders had to be thrown out cause it went sour, but he has plenty of food in that refrigerator. Anyhow, might to throw it back and set it and sent me his sister’s phone number. I got the Indian food ate half of it and quickly ran to choir rehearsal. I’m gonna be about five minuteslate. It’s pretty cold, but I’m pretty bundled up layers and stuff. I’m not dressed up for a dress rehearsal, but you know what the hell I just wanna make it that’s all. what’s the reversal went pretty well I must say. My teeth behave themselves. I came back to our place and purposely stayed up late so I could pass out 

and not have the teeth. Keep me up all night. I finished off my dinner and that was that I’m hoping to get an emergency phone call to the dentist to get an emergency appointment. Just wanted to let you all now that customs in Philadelphia was smooth. There was no line but the best part is that all they do is scan your face and your checked. It was 
Great actually compared to what I had to put up with getting back from Costa Rica to Charlotte
