Saturday January 31: 🥶 Breakfast @ Café

Hi there, everybody in the winter wonderland and frozen tundra that is Philadelphia right now. We decided to sleep in late and that was very glorious so glorious that it’s hard to describing in human terms. Anyhow, sleeping in was good as I just said. We decided we go out to eat at the heart of catering café. I had my usual breakfast burrito and that was very delicious and we hung out and tried to charge my new charging box but the thing never charged up so after breakfast, we decided to go to the place where I bought it, which was a block and a half away, and the guy was really cool. He took my return without even replaced it withanother model he thinks would work better. So I’m going to charge this thing while Mary and I are Yoga and if this thing doesn’t charge up then you

know we got problems. I’ll just I’ll just go to Amazon. Anyway, it’s  3:22 PM already and the days half over and we’re getting ready for a 4 o’clock class. Well, I went to the 4 o’clock class and was taughtby a different instructor. Evelyn Archie. She came to the Costa Rica trip two years ago and was next to me all in all of Chris flux classes. Well, this class was very interesting. Every 30 people in the class and 24 more new students I hadn’t seen any of them except for a few. It was also a very strange class. She showed up late and played music. A little too loud. I did like the bell ringing that was quietly going on while people were getting ready. Also, people didn’t lineup normally cause they didn’t know the routine. Overall, it was a good class, but it was definitely had a different vibe from Miah. That’s for damn sure. Anyhow Mary reminded me that we were going to see filament that’s a broke group that Evan is in and we decided in the last minute to catch an Uber from Ocean prime and they came quicker than we thought but we were able to grab a little snack to hold us over. It was very good. We didn’t see Linda or Dave there and we didn’t see someone else there but we saw a couple of other people from Class.

Friday January 30: 🥶🥶🥶 Sick of Cold! SIM Card Arrives


Today I woke up to extreme temperatures of 6°!!! we were up late last night. We decided that I needed to get to Mike’s via Uber. I texted Uber and they were going to charge 18 for weight and save
in $21 for a regular service and LIFT was gonna charge $12 regular service and $10 for wait saved so of course I went with the wait and save. Well, got the Mike’s before 9 AM and then 😁Nichole came by and helped out with a contacting one of Mike’s. Many doctors. We formally canceled Mike’s appointment today. That would’ve been a complete nightmare trying to get him around today. Anyhow, the cord for Mike’s

machine that he puts on his bed to measure his water weight came in at around 1:30 PM and then his SIM card came in the mail right after that Mike and I were unable to pull out the SIM card holder cause Mike didn’t have a paper clip and one of the neighbor said he’d get one and then he just closed the door and ignored me. Oh well, it’s cold as fuck out here. It’s now 211. This back-and-forth will probably finish off my day. well, I went to the phone place and lady fix it. She threatened or said you’d probablycharge but she ended up not cause I was gonna slap her a five and she put the SIM card in. It seems to be taking. I then decided to buy one of those battery bricks because I’m always running out of power constantly. So it’s going to be another slab in my pocket to keep my phone charged kind of ridiculous but you do what you gotta do. It’s now 3:01 PM I just left Mary’s after charging my phone to 35%. I then had a heart attack cause I thought I lost Mike’s phone but ended up being next to the toilet, so basically I almost dropped Mike’s phone in the toilet that would’ve been a complete fucking disaster anyhow, I’m gonna try to hit the CVSand

get Mike’s some shit as they say if I have time so I gotta get back by 3:30 so I’m hustling down the road. Can we report your earache is kicking up that she got treated. I’m guessing the cold weather did it. I’m hoping it’s just that. So I called Mary and decided that we needed a day off from Yoga. So I went back to Mike’s chilled out a little bit and his phone

 officially works. I notified all interested parties that his phone is working. It’s 4:17 PM. Just noticed they have a little earth movers removing the snow mounts from the corners of sidewalks. They got their work cut for him. That’s for sure so we’re gonna chill out. Have Indian and have a day. Decided to get Indian tonight and have the turkey chili tomorrow. It’s now 5:37 PM getting food early when I have an early evening.

Wednesday, January 28: Frigid🥶 Mike Out of Hospital. Yoga& Yin



Good day everybody. As usual the hospital did not release Mike at 9:30 AM like he tried to get them to do. So I slept in a little bit and had breakfast with Mary and we talked. The Dorchester washaving an a fire alarm test fortunately both of us got out before the really loud alarm was tested. I called Mike and his latest date for the ambulance

to pick them up with 12 o’clock noon by the way right now it’s 1224. I’ve not heard from him so they’re just gonna take their sweet time. Anyway, after breakfast, Mary went to see the sports massage Gentlemenand I walked to Mike’s to chill out and have some super coffee and finish off yesterday’s blog posting. It is really frigid out. It’s only a morecold starting Friday and Saturday there it’s going to be in a single digits overnight. Today is traditionally when Maryann and I have done yoga
and Yin. We blew off yen last time so I don’t know what we’re gonna do but I think I want to do both but we’ll see. Should be eventful Mike getting back from the hospital. Well, it would be eventful Michael coming out of the hospital but take this. It’s 1:51 PM and they still have not let them out of the hospital yet. The ambulance
doesn’t want to show up. It’s such a joke. I just reminded on threads that it was January 28, 1986 when the Challenger explosion that’s 40 years ago I was working for New Jersey PIRG making a presentation in front of some college students when somebody when the professorin the class did you all see what happened with the Challenger explosion. Never forget that moment. anyhow, Mike did eventually get home around 2:58 PM. He was helped up by the ambulance guys tracking him through the snow. They even had this device crawled up the steps so the guys didn’t have to lift Mike up. They’re only  2️⃣ of them there and they did a nice job. Mike was settled in and he postponed the two appointments that were coming up, which was good because he just got home and the weather is too shitty anyway to have Mike tracing around. Anyway, Mike settled in and we made some phone calls canceled a couple appointments but one we couldn’t cancel for some reason but he’s not going to 
be able to go. I then left Mike’s and headed to Mary’s for us to go to the 75 minute class with Dan. that room was very warm. I couldn’t believe how warm is room got in. The temperature is being in the teens. Period I have got a compliment of one of my poses by some other student and Dan complimented everybody 
who come to Mexico.🇲🇽 there were five of us in class and that was cool. I think the concentration we had to do without the mirror helped us all. Anyhow, after Dan’s class was Hanalei‘s Yin class. My God I haven’t been to a Yin class in a long time and it showed. I was so stiff and I felt so mercifully old wasn’t even funny. Obviously, I couldn’t drink my left arm over my head very well that that’s a given, but it was a humbling, but it wasn’t a bad class actually. We then walked in the 8° weather in had some nice bowls, which are very good. We watched some law and order and got warm, which felt great.
