Sunday August 24: SEPTA Reckoning, Visiting Mom, Working for Mike

This morning, I woke up at the Dorchester. With the looming septic cuts starting today, August 24 I figured I need to get up a little earlier and make sure I get to meet Alice and Hannah on time at 10:30 visiting mom. Well, I ended up catching the 42 forgetting that it doesn’t go to 69th St. so I caught it to 34th St. walked from Walnut to market and caught the L and then caught the 111 bus which was 15 minutes late. By the time I got to the Riddle village, Alice and Hannah were already there talking to mom. Mom was in really good spirits with them being there. They visited the last two days beforehand and they plan to visit tomorrow sometime. It just shows it mom really likes her visits which I guess makes a lot of sense. Anyhow we hung out. We

had a nice time And then they had to go to meet Mike at Harv Degrasse Maryland. Mike and Mary agreed to drive up that far to meet Alice. Alice ain’t going to go to Long Beach Island and run into Dave and Debbie. Would’ve been a great day to go, but really couldn’t do it. There would be no way I’d get back. Anyway, I went back to my place. I was fortunate. I caught a trolley instead of a bus out of downtown media where Alice dropped me off. I got a coffee from the Ocean City coffee company And the trolley got me to Upper Darby. I said hello to Pat,  then I puttered around the house and took a nap. I then got up around three and took the train down to Mike’s place. Mike was a little depressed and kind of battling a lot. And it was a good thing I came over I think needed to be straightened out, etc. so it’s now 5 o’clock. Phillies managed to win their game 3–2 they almost blew the save for Ranger Suarez who pissed a really good game. Mike did his walk back-and-forth from the apartment and we had to get a reading on his heart button pillow device. It wasn’t that bad. We did mark off the sheet hopefully that will help. It’s somewhat hard for him than an Uber on it. I then did a load of laundry and worked a little bit past 7 PM but I was all right. I got home and was really hungry so I stopped at CVS beforehand and got drinking chips and had some pasta. I don’t have that much in the house. I just finished off the Gatorade and there’s no super coffees listed there so when I get paid sometime next week I’m gonna do some ordering at Mike’s and have some supplies at home.
