Tuesday, June 24: 100° Heat 🥵 PT!! Mike’s


Good day everybody right now we’re in the peak portion of a massive heat wave on the east coast of the United States. Today the temperature


reached 100° right now it’s 4:30 PM and it’s 99° outside. Today was an interesting day got up around 9:15 AM after a good night sleep.
 I then went to Mike to extensively

 remove the tarpon clean. Talk to Limbo and he suggested that we do another fogging Mary went over and picked up the de-fogger for the bugs and roaches, and I started

 cleaning the dishes that weren’t covered. Mary then came over and did cleaning up the bathroom while Limbo finished off installing the
 window back in. He tried to make 

it to the window stay open at various points. I think he succeeded. Mary and I worked on our end of it and finished after about an hour and 10 minutes. 

Mary and I then brought Linda Limbo up and he was gonna turn off the gas in the oven before turning 
on the fogger. There’s three cans of fogger that is. Anyhow, Mary 

and I finished and went to Pat Pizza and each had a slice and a drink. that was cool. We just smell it out. I made a car reservation for Monday, July 7 to take care

 of some New Jersey car issue. I then went to PT and she had on a couple 

exercises. I don’t have another appointment with her for two weeks. I’m 

gonna have to really be more consistent with those exercises and now I’m gonna go 

to Mary’s at 4:34. Well teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman died at 81 years old. It’s 

hard to believe somebody like that can age cause I have one image of them and they showed it to us in the article. Anyhow, I hung 
out and relaxed, which was a good move 

actually. Part of me really wanted to go to Yoga to challenge the heat and sometimes it’s hard to check the ego at the door other times. Well I feel I have little ego… Anyway, 

Marion, our started planning our trip to California in late September for her niece‘s wedding. It’s somewhat complex because flying in the San Francisco is about $400 cheaper cheaper than flying into



 Santa Rosa airport where the Wedding‘s gonna be close to. We shortened the days because of the complexity and also to a little bit of a degree of expense. Anyhow, 


I then left to go to the final choir event of the season. They had a ton of food and they had award for people and talked to one 1️⃣ or 2️⃣ people. I don’t know why I’m just not Social. They’re nice 

people. Somewhere I don’t feel like I belong in someway, which is really silly because they’re all very nice 

and I’ve been in a couple years, etc.. I just get really quiet and shy. It’s all situational I think. Anyway, it was a nice event. I talked to a woman named V, who is gonna teach me how to use discord which confuses the hell out of me it’s too much going on for an old codger like myself. Anyway, it’s 938. I am tired and I have mixed feelings right now. Lotta good stuff happening feel like the world on my shoulders and my shoulders are not in a good place and I have to keep disciplined on exercises and I hope I’m up to the task.

Tuesday, June 3: Sleep! Mary Visits, Mild


This morning I got up after sleeping a full night sleep without interruption. I’ll be it was from the La-Z-Boy since I can’t sleep horizontally. It’s


all good to be being able to sleep. The doctor wrote back asking if the steroids were working and I said not so much so he told me to stop taking them after today. He’s under the appointment will wait for the MRI to come in.

 I have both the doctors appointment and the MRI on the same day but the opposite ends of the clock. Anyhow, I got the Mike’s around 9 AM and it was a quiet day I do have choir but overall It’s a quiet day compared to the rest of the week till Friday. For  we’re PVOP, we are 
rehearsing for the Carnegie Hall concert. This happens in June 20 21st and 22nd but I have Mike’s birthday 

party in Maryland on that Saturday. Mary came over to visit and we hung out and talked. Mike 

and Mary are very literary and talked about literary stuff such as James Joyce and Finnegan Wake etc. Mike took a shower today and
then I went ahead and left. I’m really 

tired. I feel I actually could sleep, but history will be the judge of that. There will be no Indian food today because the Royal Indian is shut down on Tuesdays. Well, I got to Mary’s and I was
so tired. I decided to take a chance and sleep on the bed sideways. I felt a little more confident that 

I could do it. Well, for an hour and 14 minutes I laid on my side and I was sleeping. 

I was so tired. The alarm did wake me. I didn’t wanna push it too hard, but it felt really good just to be able to crash. I hope this is a 


trend I really do Anyhow Mary just finished yoga. She’ll be home very soon. It’s a nice mild day today. I have 
choir at 7 o’clock. It’s now 6:05 PM. 
 Mary went to yoga today & Found out there’s a yoga retreat to Cozumel Island.  Lupe and Byron are planning it  for January.
The trip of course include Yoga, but also scuba 

diving which makes me a little bit nervous quite frankly, but loopy is a scooper structure so we’ll see. Anyhow, choir practice It’s going pretty well it’s not 838. We’re on our break.

Saturday, May 24: A FULL Night of Sleep 😴


I woke up with a full night of sleep for the first time in two weeks!!! it felt like a goddamn miracle.! Oh my God, I couldn’t believe it. Finally I got enough sleep. I woke up at 7 o’clock, and it felt

 good. I tried to lie down and I couldn’t quite last about an hour being horizontal, which is progress. it was glorious. And I credited the steroids. It’s the only thing that would’ve
worked. Anyhow, Mary made some pancakes and bacon while I went out and got my haircut which felt good. The sun was out and we then went to the frame shop and picked

 up framed things and we left the frame shop and it was actually a little bit of drizzle 15 minutes later the sky was blue as we walked through Rittenhouse Square to open up a Capitol One saving 

account that earns 3% interest as compared to Td bank sign account which earned .02% interest I should’ve done this age as a guy had a Capitol One cow forever. So it’s been a pretty good day no 

Yoga for for Mary so we hung out at the café. Talked to the guy. He was very cool and we had some free coffee. After we left Capitol One, we then talked to Mike and we went up to find me 

to see what they might have to wear. So we bought a couple of things underwear and T-shirts. We did see a pair of pants size 52 but we don’t buy them till we talk to Mike so we went to Mike’s salt they had nothing really 

up framed worth wearing when it came to pants and went back 

to Fabio’s and bought a pair of big size 52 pants and a pair of three pairs of socks

 so now it’s 8:05 PM and we’re just leaving Pennsylvania

 Pennsylvania Hospital after his visit I think that visit exhausted both of us. So we 

decided to do takeout rather than cooked tonight. We’ll just do that 

another day like Monday. Anyhow, it’s now 934. We picked up my food



 and Mary has leftovers. Plus she’s gonna get two samosas. We watched

 some Law and order and a little bit of Stephen Colbert. He’s pretty damn funny

 these days. Today was one hell of an adventure visiting Mike 

watching a famous soccer player. Draw a huge crowd in Center city. 

Let’s hope I can have another night of sleep before I visit 

my mom tomorrow. it was a nice day to take pictures because the weather kept changing
 from sunny to drizzle to then sunny 

so the sky had a nice contrast to it like it was late summer or early fall. That’s 

the kind of weather we’re having this doesn’t remind me of 

of May, but then again I’ve been to graduation particularly one graduation at Cabrini College where it was really damp and cold and it was mid May so May can get cold. Can’t I 

meant believe it May is almost over in the last week of May heading into June, which
will be busy as well at least the first 2️⃣ 
weeks when again I hope to be starting yoga again at the second week in June if all goes as planned or as I want. We will soon see.
