Tuesday, October 20: Fall Venmo. Yoga &Choir

Good day I got up early for the 7 AM meeting. It was just warm enough where I could just wear my flannel shirt without any jacket or sweater which was nice. I did wear

my sweater and it got too warm so I learned that lesson. I then got the Mike’s and signed in with the new version of the Work software. You know it allows me to sign in, but the

sign out is not official. It’s kind of weird. Anyhow, they got some deliveries from Amazon and the infusion. I then met Marie at the coffee shop at 15th and Pine. We hung out for a while and then took care of business. Started

Mike’s laundry. Turned out I forgot to bring the dried laundry up because I had an issue with Venmo, which I’ll tell you about  I made a Venmo payment with my cancelled checking account and then Venmo was going to suspend

my account for a week while they settled out the 3️⃣ dollars. I then actually called the customer service. The first guy couldn’t help me, but then I asked for the manager. The manager remove the old account from my Venmo account

and reinstated my account so I was able to pay you the $25. Let me know if you got it. I’m getting ready to go to class I just finished talking to these people. Anyhow, I finished that and Alice called and I talked to her about this and

we had a good conversation but I had to hang up cause I was going to byron’s 4 PM 90 minute class. That class was pretty good. My knee was OK and I went back to Mary’s after

we hung out she’s gonna try a new coffee blend with pineapple and maple flavor iced coffee at La Musette, which we have not been to for a long while. Yes I was pretty hyped

up to Dave was all chatty during yoga and I was chatty doing Choir which I’m generally not. I guess I was running on adrenaline or caffeine. I’m not sure which one but October

is rolling along next week is the last week of October can you believe it? Well I can’t sit there.

Tuesday October 13: Knee Issue Dr. Appt, Yoga & Choir

Well, good day America today! I got up early for my Tuesday meeting. I got there on time and then Amazon called and I thought they were calling about the Dorchester, but really they were calling about

delivery at Mike’s. The meeting was about one day at a time and that was very appropriate, considering all the stuff going on right now. I got the Mike’s and all my deliveries were there

when I Got to his house fortunately there was a bunch of stuff. I got a super coffee, the icy lemonade, and a few yogurt. Unfortunately Mike didn’t get his order. It was arrived really early

and somebody stole everything. That included a couple bananas and yogurts or other things. Anyhow, when I got there around 9:15 or so the guy was already there. The repairman

is fixing the bathroom particularly the tile next to the bathtub. It wasn’t just a patch up job. He was there drilling and putting sheets over it. Basically he covered up the old tile with this modern tile.

Anyhow, it was time to eat lunch. I ate the leftovers from a previous dinner and that was good. It had chicken in it so it had some protein which I’m gonna need when getting this knee in recovery. After

that I went to walk towards my appointment with Dr. Stillman at noon. I get this call from his secretary that it’s going to be a telehealth appointment. I was basically two blocks away when the call came

in so I had to take a telehealth appointment. That was kind of bogus! There were problems in the building the computers didn’t work, the elevators

weren’t working, etc. Well, the Computer worked long enough for Dr Stillman to take the call. I was at rival Brothers coffee shop. I difficult in putting the

camera in the right spot so he would show his knee and tell me point to an area so the thing that hurt is when I planted my foot and turned and the knee can’t

take that so he instantly said OK. It’s a meniscus tear. It’s based on my old injury from high school coming back to bite me in the ass 50 years later.

Anyhow, I got back to Mike’s did some last-minute cleanup and headed to Tina‘s 4 o’clock 90 minute class. I told Tina what was going on and she said you

know be careful with the tree toe and I did try to be careful when the heat did help out, and I didn’t have any pain, but I did take it easy. Went back to Mary’s

and now heading to Choir or not my left my left knee is acting up. I’m looking forward to just sitting for a while while in

Choir to rest the knee. Well choir rehearsal was pretty good. I got to relax my knees, etc. We went over the Philadelphia fanfare song for a while and went over other songs as well. Once I got back Maryann and I had some mimosa and some Indian food leftovers, which are very tasty. We watched one Law and order and decided we both needed sleep. 

Tuesday, October 6: Mike @Senior Center. Cool. Yoga and Choir.

Good day everybody today I woke up extra early for 70 M. AA meeting. I did share. I ran into Rick I know for the Program from whale and back in the Sunrise

semester days. He was very complementary nice to me. I told him about Mike and he said he would try to call Mike. It was very pleasant. I went back to

Mary’s talk to her a little bit and she went back to sleep and I ate cereal and some iced tea. That was pretty tasty that I walked over to Mike’s got there

around 9:10 AM and I did some cleanup of the liquid materials as usual then I rested a little bit. Need some yogurt. I then assisted Mike down to the senior center. the Philadelphia senior

centers to be exact. We signed in and I got my blood pressure taken and Mike signed up for lunch. He made a small donation in quarters. We decided to wait till the 12:00 PM shift for lunch

came up and we hung around and talked a little bit. It was very busy there. It’s a flurry of activity there. Anyway, Mike did get his lunch and it was macaroni cheese and a chicken patty. The coffee was instant

coffee, which was very strange but Mike drank a little bit of it. We then got back to senior center and I had lunch. Mary called American Airlines about our flight changes and the fact that our seat

for separated from each other for some reason. She put in her global entry in A. I have to call back and put my global entry number which I have not done yet. I would’ve asked her put

mine in, but the cards locked up. Mike called the Scottish Rite House. The guy said to call back in 45 minutes. In the meantime, he called some other people

and try to get his medication of Riland taken care of. It’s a busy day. I’m starting to feel a little gas. It’s 3:10 PM and I’m ready to start going to Yoga soon. Well, after experimenting with

taking two photos and grouping them together via the photo app, I got ready to go packed up and got ready to go to yoga. Boy, Iam  tired now. Anyhow,

I got to Yoga and it was taught by Lupe and it was a really good class. She really is a good instructor. She managed to get a lot of instruction and fit it all

in a 90 minute class. I really enjoyed that. So I’m getting ready for Choir now sing onto God sing yeah!! it was very interesting Choir practice some of the

songs were really very difficult, but others were not so bad. There’s this French tune that was very difficult and somebody made some delicious ratatouille

salad of some sort that was made of pasta noodles.well that got me through the rest of Choir and we did rehearsal till about 9:35 PM. That one song with the French lyrics is really a slug. There’s always one piece that I have difficulty or I don’t like in every rehearsal. Anyhow, Mary and I had the samosas watch a little bit of John Oliver, and law and order.
