Wednesday, December 31: Housing Appl. for Mike. Midnight Yoga.

This morning, I allowed Mary’s alarm to get me up around eight but her alarm never went off so I ended up waking up on my own around 8:30 AM. I think the extra sleep was needed so that’s what I did. I 



then left with Mary and went to the convenient store. She picked up a sandwich and I got a couple bananas tea for breakfast once I got the Mike’s a new issue came up where he broke the monitor to his 

computer. It doesn’t come up anymore. So we tried to work around that he had to camp camp so he’s 11 o’clock appointment. I threw a load of laundry in the wash and the dryer and then went off to mail

off applications for three housing developments and pick up an application for John Fox tower housing which is right on 22nd Chestnut. Caught two 

buses, which gave me an extra 15 minutes of time so once I did that, I went down to Staples and hung out there for a while printed out copies for of Mike’s Social Security card and his drivers license for these damn places. 

One of the places had rejected his application because he didn’t have one so I didn’t want to deal with inconveniencing Mary and have her print them out. So I just went ahead to Staples and glue

some money on those they’re all colored copies unnecessary but that’s what I did. I then went to the post office to mail off the three items. 

It’s now 12:47 AM. Still haven’t finished yesterday‘s blog posting and I’m hungry. I’m gonna work till 4:25 PM, which is about the time I came

in earlier around 9:25 AM. It’s pretty damn cold out here. My brother John called me to tell me he’s visiting an early March. He’s only going to 


visit her for your car he gets off from work so I guess they don’t like giving people off from work even though we’re a grown ass people. Anyway,

my shoulder is uncomfortable, but it’s not the degree of pain it was earlier. I just got notification that my Amazon fresh order is arriving between 1 PM and 2:15 PM. That’s because I have three stops 

left but he’s way out in West philly so I have time to eat lunch warm up and see if Mike’s made any progress on its bullshit. I came home & and the CPAP delivery man called and then he showed up and 



he’s instructing my cat to use his new CPAP machine. At the same time my Amazon delivery came and I saw Rob and he asked me if I was going to yoga tonight. My shoulder is feeling a little bit better

pain wise, which is a good thing. Anyhow, I end up going to CVS and getting my cough syrup, orange juice and some ice cream. He’s been coughing a lot. Hopefully this new CPAP machine machine will help. 

I Then got Mike’s laundry out of the dryer and some of it was damp because there was so much laundry in one of the washers doesn’t spin dry very well. Then left Mike’s around 4:30 PM because I came 

in close to 9:30 PM. Then lie down and mellow out with Mary for a little bit I didn’t sleep, but we’re gonna have a little dinner before 10:30 PM Yoga I think we’re gonna try to get there in three hours at 9:30 PM. Mary and I then had some lentil soup and I had a bowl and that was really good. We also planned our itinerary for our trip to Manhattan bright and early 6 AM train. We’re gonna go to 



the upper west side and then we’re gonna go to the Dakota and then we’re gonna go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That is our itinerary. We are going to tap breaks because it’s gonna be 20° to start 

today and the high temperature is going to be 31°. I got to buy some thermals Friday. Anyhow, we got the class and we were one of the first people in there so we got to relax which was really good. It 

was good to get the thermal heat and stuff. Once class started, I noticed there was all these young women like it more than half to people were new. It was pretty wild. I modified the hell out of some 

of my poses and that helped I think. Afterwards, we hung out for a little while and then it was time to leave since it was getting late. It was 



pretty festive I must say. We then got back and then got ready to go to bed. I’m gonna sleep in late tomorrow For Mike I’m gonna get out of get the Mike’s by around 9:30 a.m..

Tuesday, December 30: Mike’s & Left Shoulder

After hitting the hay very late last night, I got up, decided I would get dressed brush my teeth and runoff to the convenience store and buy a 

sandwich and egg and cheese sandwich on it English muffin. I’ll put on my warmest sweater and headed on out. Boy oh boy, it was frigid outside. I got my sandwich went to Mike’s ate it and then did 


E little around the house and then ran off to my 10:15 AM massage appointment. It was moved back to 10:30 AM and I then went to the appointment. Indeed the appointment did give me some much much-needed 

relief from the extreme muscle stiffness that I’m experiencing in my left shoulder. During the day today, I sent messages to Stillman, Dr. Nala and the guy who did the EMG test. I also sent the Massage

observations from Nick to each one of them. I paid an overdue.  During the day today, I sent messages to Stillman, Dr. Nala and the guy who did the EMG test. I also sent the Massage observations from Nick

to each one of them. I paid an overdue medical bill and tried to pay my membership fee to Sketch Club, but couldn’t because of faulty website. On the way back to my massage I decided to go to the New Balance 

store and replace my sneakers. Turns out I haven’t bought a pair of sneakers since October 2024 over a year ago. I got a really good rate of 100 bucks for the shoes because the sales woman announced 

the employee price of the shoes and I set up the “the cats out of the bag.“ And she agreed to give me the that price that was very nice of her. Usually, those shoes

are 160 bucks. Anyway, I then went to Fabio‘s and got a replacement bowl since Mike broke the bowl. I always use to eat lunch. Tony came over and Mike did a few exercises and Mike told Tony about

the CPAP cord that he spilled water on in started, belching out black smoky ruined the cord and the charging box it comes with the cord. It was very funky. I then finished off three applications and I’m going to 

print out his Social Security card and drivers license for each of the sub size housing appointment and I’m gonna pick up an application 

tomorrow from the John Fox Towers, which is in Center City somewhere. I skipped decided to skip yoga cause I knew I wasn’t in any 

shape to do that. I’m gonna take another Epson salt bath it’s now 4:23 PM frigid Tuesday. I took the bath, and it felt quite good and relaxing. Anyhow, I then took a little nap and that felt quite good. 



That’s for sure. Mary came back from class and said the class is very crowded and the room was pretty warm. We then went to the meeting at 22nd and Locust or 22nd spruce and then walked back to Royal Indian and ordered Indian food came back. Had a 

good conversation about families and stuff. We then went and watched a couple episodes of Law and order and they enjoyed our Indian food. My shoulder really started acting up, but I did manage to go to bed pretty late, but I did manage to go to bed.
