my lunch that I had bought yesterday at the Indian store. Today at work we feature carfare reports. I think it's going to be mostly carfare for the welfare whacker women.

Monday, September 29: A Day

Sunrise

Well I woke up with my back stiff as usual. Also found out that yes,  you can do a change of address

Fairmount

online. Here's the kicker they charge you $20 and a form is still required to be completed and brought back to the post office. Also it still takes

My Route to West Philly

in 7 to 10 business days to process the order. So I definitely have a complaint with them. I get it just waited in line filled out a form headed

30th Street

to the dude and got the same thing for lesson for zero dollars.

Well it's gonna be a busy day it's carfare and reports and I'm

Heading to Catch the EL

on the board. Yeah hey!! Turns out the day wasn't quite as frantic as it could've been. I was so thankful for that. I did make a beeline to

Chestnut Street. Going to Dr's

my doctors appointment which thankfully was at 4 PM not 3:45 PM. When I went to the office I was five

Spruce Street

minutes late and she called the doctor to see if the doctor would still see me because they have

My Desk

no grace period for being late to their appointments. I think that's a pretty rich! Well she did see me and that was fine and turns out

that I am on muscle relaxing and an anti-inflammatory. Hopefully, in a week, I will be done with this mess of a seizure of back muscles.After going to the doctor I went back to work till about 530. I then went to CVS and picked up my scripts.

Near 30th Street

I decided to go to Kabobeesh and the Indian general store and got some food. Next, I went to the post office. While there, I dropped off my change of address

Crossing the Bridge

form. I did piss off 1 or 2 folks because there was a massive line!! I just went upfront to the side and handed the paper. I've still can't get over the fact that the US post office says apply

Sit in the Chair

online" and yet it's basically just like it was except you print out your own form and still bring it to 30th St.post office headquarters. I then went to Monday night beginners enjoyed that. I next bolted myself home with my Pakistani food in tow. Sharon what's not feeling so great because she went to the dentist and had some deep gum tissue cleaning.ate my dinner watch John Stewart and went to bed.

Eagles Blowing it on 4th and Goal

It's pretty warm outside and I'm taking a break it's 5:10 PM I'm supposed to meet Larry downtown at 7:30. He invited me to watch Eagles game and currently the Eagles are leading 7–3 over the San Francisco 49ers. My friend Joe Invited me off to a Korean barbecue but obviously got to get this moving stuff done. I got as much of it is possibly could. I then went to the meeting and that was pretty good. I ran into Larry and Veronica at Saxbys and watch the Eagles lose 2621. Eagles have the ball on the 4 yard line on three times and couldn't get it in BOOO..!

I then chilled out and then cooked up some pasta to end a very productive weekend despite my neck and back stiffness

Saturday, September 27: I Choose 2 Move

I also took some time to take care of some banking issues that needed prompts attention.Good morning America. Today

Squirrel

is Saturday and its sunny outside. I got up at 7:22am and decided I needed to skip the men's meeting

Cool Church o 24th

. I did some studying at the Starbucks and then went to class about five minutes late. Class was pretty cool we did a lot of discussing

That is the Place

about the three short stories that we were critiquing for last week. I must say that folks in this class a very

strong opinions. I even asked the teacher what you thought of blogs. She stated she didn't have anything

My Directions if Route was NOT Deotured

against them per se, but the writing and I'm a sloppy. I guess I'm not going to promote my blog to her

Short Story Class

that's for sure. I'm sure it doesn't meet up to a professional writers standards. Just before I went to class

Bacillica of St Peter and Paul

I decided I would rent a car and start moving my stuff completely out of the apartment. The car rental

Logan Circle

starts at 1:30 and ends at 5:15. That should give me plenty of time to move and to go back-and-forth

Church on N 20th

at least once or twice. It's the 19th and Poplar Street. I decided I'd walk up 19th St. since it's such a beautiful day

Neighborhood Nearby

The walk up 19th St. going north is very very nice. On the same block I saw a classic 66 Mustang and

settling down for the night at my humble abode on 24th and Fairmount. I seem to of aggravated my back

that I had heard three or four days ago probably due to the chill in the air that was present early last week.

I'm really glad I got that done and now I can sort of just ease into things. One of them is doing a change of address.
