Saturday, August 20: a Hot Day 2 Start Pet Sitting and Something New

Good day everyone out there. It's a really warm day out but it's not quite as disgusting as it had been last week. When I got up this morning, I thought it with

OCF

the week day. So I think it's 9 o'clock

33 Bus

and I'm freaking out about the tile up Uber. I only stopped with Hoover because I wanted

them to pick me up at the coffee shop. Shortly there after I realized it was Saturday morning. I had turned

52nd Street

down the volume on my alarm and mother nature called and that Hillary and I got up. I went to the

Along S. 52nd Street

clubhouse this morning since nobody was going to meet in Old City. Before going to the clubhouse

pretty fun. The meeting wasn't bad it wasn't crowded. I'm used to it being packed at 9:55 AM.

After that meeting I then went to catch the 33 bus towards downtown so I can head out to West Philly.

The 3:15 PM 21 bus showed up about 8 to 10 minutes late. I got off the bus and I still had to walk about 6 minutes to 30th St. I made the bus with about
