Thursday, February 29: 1st Day in Florida

After a really deep night of sleep, I got up around 9 AM and had 

breakfast and mellowed out with Larry for a while. Had coffee banana yogurt along 

with my cereal. It’s pretty nice out it’s partly cloudy and mild. 

Larry and I decided we would take a walk. We’re just gonna have a quiet day 

today. Being my first day up here. It’s nice to have a day where I’m just

 doing a lot of nothing. I enjoy that sometimes. well, Larry and I took a walk 2 Lake Park. It faces Singer Island, and 
a bunch of condos but it’s still very very pretty 

walk. It’s pretty nice out it’s not boiling hot but you definitely feel the stronger sun. I saw pelicans flying and relaxing and
 I saw nice large iguana and got a picture of it actually also got a video

 of the whole thing I’ve been in touch with Mary and she’s doing very well and

 getting stuff done. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘ anyhow, after, our walk we hung out 

in the back balcony and then I had some corn beef hash that I had saved from the

 last time I was there for lunch and we’re gonna head out to the beach. I 

talked to Alice for about 35 minutes and we’re going to nowhead to the 

beach which should be fun slabbered on the suntan lotion and actually 

bought a bathing suit. I managed to remember to do that, so that was 

always good. Well, we went to the beach and it was cool to chill out 

and relax. It wasn’t too boiling hot. I didn’t go in the
 water I wasn’t that hot. I did see someone paragliding and then some dude with a fan and a parachute flying around that was interesting and the seagulls around here. Just walk around like you don’t exist.it was pretty chill and we relaxed and then we headed home and Veronica made us a very good dinner, turkey burger with plant-based cheese, which was an interesting thing and I had some gray Poupon because I’m not rich. Anyhow, we watched in law law and order including law and ordered organized crime, which is all about Elliott and it’s so ponderous. I can’t even follow it anymore.

Wednesday, February 28: Work. Flight to Florida ✈️

Today I got up and got ready to go to work. I had breakfast 

and headed out to Mike’s. The train ran really slow this morning for some freaking reason at one point it just stopped for about 10 minutes with no explanation.

 We eventually got there and I walked the whole way up from Broad market to Broad and Lombard, because no buses decided to show up. I got the Mike’s 

did a little bit of cleanup and Then Mike had an appointment with his therapist so I went out and walked up Broad Street and got a 

coffee and was explained that the new soy milk and almond milk were doubled the price of the previous product because it’s barista approved because it steams

 better then the previous brand. Anyhow, I had lunch hung out with Mike did 

last minute stuff and then decided I take Uber instead of taking the 

train just because the flight was an hour earlier than I remembered so I didn’t want to 

take any chances. It’s now 4:30 PM we’re starting to get ready to takeoff. I’m 

surrounded by kids behind me in front of me and next me, It’s now set 14 p.m. we just landed and it’s taking about 10 minutes
 for us to finally get people off the plane. I just noticed it takes forever for people to disembark a plane. Larry’s Wedding waiting for me at the cell phone lot. I tuned out all the loud kids noise by listening to a collection of Greatest Hits from The Roches, REM, smithereens, and Steely Dan, of course.

Tuesday, February 27: Mild Buzy Day

This morning I woke up and I was pretty tired but I got going and 

almost forgot to bring my choir folder. What I ended up doing however, is bringing my dirty
yoga 

clothes with me.  So when I got the Mike’s, I decided hell yeah I’m just gonna wash

 my clothes at Mike’s, so at least the clothing will be lighter, anyhow like I talked a little bit and then I had to 

go to the dentist at 10 AM to work on my stupid lower partial which

 been really hurting. I made it to the dentist and he did a nice job and told me to rinse out with salt, warm salt water and not wear my partial for a while so the irritation will go away. I then

 walked back to good karma cafΓ©, and I got my usual, half-and-half, and  The guy said four $74.70 or $4.25 well that previous order was $2.70. They said they had a new all nondairy went up $.85. I’m

like well that’s more than $.85 so I just got regular whole milk with my coffee I wasn’t gonna pay 40% more for the same damn thing , but the 

official line is they raise the price of all nondairy $.85. There’s some still goddamn price gouging going on. Anyhow, I got back to Mike’s picked up an order for him at the door and 

took a nap. I then went to my appointment and we discussed my religious retreat experience a.k.a. my snapping experience. That was like trying to uproot a fall in tree stump. It was something

 that was for sure I really back both memories pretty pretty good. I decided I wanted to go to Yoga is all charged up and decided I go to Chris’s class in the last minute

. That class was hot and that class was full. There is a good class very intense very hot but I feel good afterwards one thing I can say is that I’m glad I did it. Anyway, I had 
to get dressed, but it took a little longer cause I had to try to sweat myself quickly and you can’t rush sweating. I got to the choir practice on time and it was a base sectional and it was pretty 

intense. We went through the Domini. Pam composition rehearsal ended at 9 PM and I got a ride home which is really a good break for me that’s for damn sure got home. Had some leftovers and packed my trip to Florida. That’s coming up tomorrow.
