Wednesday, October 28: Slogging Along. Scottish Rite B.S.

Well, I got up originally around 7:09 AM and then fell back to sleep because I was tired and I forgot to set the snooze button. Turned out Mike’s doctors

appointment was scheduled for tomorrow not today so I went back to the Dorchester and had breakfast in a nice amount of cereal. We did a little bit of packing stuff and sweeping stuff, but I was

really under motivated. We didn’t hear from the Scottish Rite House that we called them around 12:08 PM. They said that Toni was at a meeting. We called

back at three and 3:30 and they gave some bullshit. They still have not given us a move-in date. It’s starting to look really unprofessional. They

say oh well you’ll be ready to move in as early as Tuesday well now it’s Wednesday at 4:30 PM and we got the total blow off. It was very unprofessional.

In between that bullshit, I did have an appointment and made some phone calls to the Commonwealth to try to resolve some tax issues due to my new

tax status. Of course it’s you know wait for paperwork, etc. etc. And the people at SERS don’t answer the phone. I think they just do that just like some

state employees. Anyway, I’m gonna take a nap and then do some 75 minute yoga and some class. Well, that was short but sweet. We then went to 75 minute

class with Dan. It was a good spirit class. We didn’t hold poses as long as we did yesterday. Anyhow, after class, we had Inn with Miah and that was

very relaxing, but my body was so stiff. It was good just to sit and lie down in various poses. All the songs were good about Halloween themed, but they played “the song “where of all the Cowboys gone?“ By Paula Cole is written in the mid 90s and it’s a terrible song, but my read Wikipedia it got a lot of critical phrase. I thought the song was just stupid.

Saturday October 24: Sleeping In, Yoga

Hello everybody it’s today Saturday. Today we had a glorious sleep in. We slept until 11:15 AM and it was felt really good. We both really needed a badly.

It was really good to get that kind of sleep. I accumulated a seat deficit like nobody’s business, especially Tuesdays and Thursdays. But we decided

to go to the café, which is going to be closing November 1. They want to turn over the whole business of the catering thing like the previous business they’re called “day by day.“ I used to call that

place the stupidest place in the world and it reminded me of Hooters song called” day by day. The Hooters became a kind of dumb ass band. That’s my

humble opinions coming out. Anyway, we ate at the café enjoyed our usual mellow breakfast. We went to the CVS to get some toiletries such as toothbrush

and one other thing I forgot. Anyway, we got back here. Talked about getting a flight to Nashville, but we decided we wait to call the airline to get our new

numbers in for TSA. We’re in global entry now instead of the other program. We’re gonna take the Maine method because they don’t charge extra proceeding

and when you get charged for seating, it adds up you must pay $100 more for the Maine ticket. Anyway, I went to Miah‘s 4 PM class, which is very good.

She helped me out on two Poses today. I like when she helps out like that. It was a good class. Then we left and went back to the Dorchester. I went

ahead and got three boxes of pasta and Mary went down to start the two days of yoga laundry. We’re gonna watch some old movies. It’s now 8:20 PM.

Anyhow, we started to watch this movie called Lonely are the Brave.“ It was a black-and-white film with Kirk Douglas. It was very strange and we stopped watching it because there was sadistic prison guard played by George Kennedy.

Monday, October 19: Cool! Preparation and Yoga

Good morning everybody today is Monday. I woke up to a 43° temperature. So I brought in my big bundling Sweater which was really good because it kept

me warm. I then ate breakfast, which was oatmeal. Got to Mike’s after 9 o’clock. Mike’s food that was delivered last night was there I picked that up went to

his place at a little bit of basic cleaning and then eventually Mike and I went for a walk. It took a while for him to get ready. We did go out and we declined

to go to the senior center since we were running late. I ate lunch and I talked to Mary for a little while the whole PA court thing was a spoofing exercise and it was much to do about nothing, which

was good. I then went to both CVS pharmacy in the alternative pharmacy. The alternative pharmacy is not gonna service Mike’s Perscriptions from

now on. They’re gonna concentrate on specialty drugs and blended drugs or whatever I got some stuff for my hemorrhoid which is acting up more

than has in a long long time. Anyhow, I’m getting ready for yoga. I updated yesterday‘s blog posting. It’s a beautiful day out. Start off really cold not a cloud

in the sky! It’s supposed to be some nice weather for the week. Anyhow, Mike’s Pepsi did arrive and I’m not drinking one now. It’s a little late in the

afternoon. It’s 3:23 PM. Be going to byron’s class and continue my day in the cool brisk weather of autumn. Believe it or not next week is the last week

of October, which is kind of mind blowing really Mike is not sure he’s gonna get his colonoscopy next week due to being hospitalized, but he has

to wait for his heart doctor. Call back or write him back so we’ll see if he’s not busy playing golf to respond to his patient. Actually, I was incorrect.

Mike told me the colonoscopy is been has been postponed due to inclement Health. So that will not be happening on Monday, but at least you found out before

he started taking the colonoscopy prep, which is pretty nasty! Well, signed up for class and found out that Tina subbing for byron this evening. I guess

she’s getting her substitutions in before she goes off to Thailand for about two weeks. She’s been there before. It’s still remains sunny outside not a cloud in the sky. .
