Friday, May 27: Fighting a Cold. Fighting Myself

Well, I got some sleep last night. I’m still trying to beat back this cold. I’m gonna take my second stab at taking the Covid test. I woke up a 
little after 10 to try to meet my friend at 11 AM we found out that we thought we talked at 1 PM but I ended up meeting her 
around 11:35 AM. We’re gonna try to beat the rain to load up her car so she can move out to Lewisburg Pennsylvania where she’s from. He’s going to crash at my place till Tuesday and then 

she’s off to Lewisburg. I made it clear that Tuesday was one and

 done deadline due to my trauma three years ago. Today was definitely one of 



these days that was bound to happen. I first asked Pat if I could let my friend

 stay till Tuesday and he went off and said no. Just when I was leaving with 

my friend to get her a hotel I ran into. That was awkward I agreed

 to meet   for a half hour. And after a half hour  going to call me at 7:30. And I got a motel on route 202 and I'm 

waiting for the bus to get me back home or at least to the Norristown line back to 69th St. It's rainy and shitty here. Well the rain stopped and I got back home  I took a nap. It was a restless 

nap but it was a useful nap. I then got the Zipcar and picked it up from West Philadelphia just in the nick of time and then I 
drove out to Ardmore. I had a discussion for an hour and I thought it was helpful better than doing nothing. I felt OK but I had nagging self-doubt 
hanging over me as usual. I thought I was weak in someway areas and apparently I can’t be week ever because
 then I pay for it on and on. Anyway I came home and ate had dinner and that was that. It’s been an exhausting day and an exhausting

 time since I got back from Florida. Battling a cold battling my mind and trying to handle a very volatile situation. Some errors
in judgment 

or worse than other errors in judgment. Some last for a long long long long long long time. Unless depressing move I’m visiting my friend in Buffalo. Maybe I’ll just 

shuffle off the Buffalo like the Grateful Dead did or somebody did it seem to be an affordable city yeah the cold sucks but I can always fly up to California

Saturday, January 6: On a Mission Up and Down the Broad Street Subway

Well I woke up at a half decent hour this morning trying to plan out my day to get as much 
 one as possible while the sun was still up since temperatures 
 oing to drop to single digits tonight into tomorrow I took the Broad Street line 
 p to on the near fifth and chew Street and I did see a lawyer from the programs office right 
 here. I couldn’t believe what I saw. Anyway I took care of that errand which was very 
 nteresting and then I caught the 47 all the way down to 8th & Market. I then 
 an across the street and caught the Petco from there about a block from my place. That little ride was worth it because I don’t 

 have to be outside for that long period time. I then came home and discovered I had a package. Alice gave me a nice lens for my iPhone. I would have to read it and learn how  to use it. That’s very thoughtful gift. I have to thank 
 ou for it. I’m still waiting for the check from springboard media where I turned in my computer right after Christmas. That’s $550 that 
 ’m waiting for. Anyhow I call Best Buy and even without the credit card in my possession they said I could still use the line of credit. I’m gonna look for an inexpensive Windows computer so 
  can make the movie after I get home. When I went to the Best Buy via 
 EPTA. And I got off the bus late so I had to walk about a mile or so then I finally caught a seven b
us and got to the Best Buy. Once there I looked around and found one that was moderately
 priced. Not the cheapest but obviously not the most expensive
 either. I asked the man at the Best Buy if they had movie maker on it and he said
 he didn’t think so. Well I was in for a shock that’s for sure. I was thinking I could just find it and download it. More about that later. Well I

 timed this at the bus perfectly and caught it right outside after waiting only a minute. Worked
 out really nice is that I caught the Broad Street at broad and Oregon and that
 drop me off Walnut locus so I didn’t have much of a walk. I then went ahead
 and opened up my new computer and went ahead and set it up and was
 looking for the Hyundais movie maker and wen
t through a whole bunch of stuff to get that but that will be told more little bit later.
