Friday, May 1: Day Off. Choosing New Glasses, Millbourne, & Mexican

Good day everybody today is Friday but it felt like Saturday all day. This is because I decided to last week that I was gonna be taken off today because Mike had some kind of 3:30 PM doctors appointment that was scheduled by Penn when he was last in the hospital. I decided I just wasn’t up for missing Yoga because of hanging around with Mike at the hospital to 5:30 PM. I think I chose a good day. It was cool but very sunny all day long. Mary and I slept until about 10:30 AM. We then went to the heart of catering café in Nash on delicious breakfast. We then caught an Uber straight from the café straight to vision Works, which is done at S. Columbus Blvd. sort of close to where I did Rehab. It was deep deep in the heart of South Philly near the docks. Went in there and it wasn’t very busy. The associate help us was lady had really really long fingernails and sort of a northeast Philly kind of person. There were different types of glasses. There was a section for a square glasses, rectangle, glasses, and round glasses. There is also obviously men’s and women’s pairs of the same shapes. I ended up getting a pair of rectangle glasses even though I thought I would go to the square ones. This one pair fit around my head and had long arms to reach around my ears. My ears are getting bigger every day as I get older. I had two ideas one was to get a two for one that was $940 or just get one pair for 560. I decided to just buy one parrot for the $560. I think everything is sort of gone up at least 40% since I bought glasses I think around the time of the pandemic’s last time I went and got glass. I was still working for the state 2021. Who knows it might’ve been late 2020 I don’t remember. Anyway, we chose the glasses then I looked at Coop of maps and we were able to catch the seven bus in the middle of nowhere bus stop and that took 40 minutes, but it was a nice tour through South Philly. It was really sunny by the time we got back to Mary’s. It was way too late to go to 4:00 PM class we decided also that we blow off 5 PM class go to Photo Lounge and then head out to Millbourne Pennsylvania. I’m in arts and recovery and I wanted to pick out some photos that are just sitting around in Millbourne alone without being looked at. Mary was very helpful. We went through a bunch of photos refrained a couple and made some decisions of what photos to bring. I also cleaned out the refrigerator because it got all icy. We then decided we were really really hungry and we headed to the Mexican restaurant around 8:50 PM. We called them they were open and they served up the most delicious burrito. I’ve had in a long, long, long time. We both really enjoyed the food and the down home down to earth atmosphere. Then we were looking at Wilder where we’re going for lunch which is completely different type of restaurant. It sound 9:46 PM we’re just relaxing and digesting our food. We probably will end up going to Mary’s and sit around and then probably crash out maybe watch one law and order I don’t know but at least we don’t have to do anything tomorrow morning because we took care of Photo Lounge in the Eyeglasses issue because the sale on the Eyeglasses was over today believe or not that $560 was the sale price mind you. Anyway, it was a nice day off to doing something completely different. Mary really enjoyed it as well.
