Sunday, November 1: Meeting w/ Friends. Last day & Café

This morning we got up around 9 o’clock Eastern standard time. Yes indeed the clocks were turned back today to start the process of getting

darker and darker throughout the winter and stuff like that. We also got up at to meet Betty at the Capitol One café. Mary has not seen her in a while. I’d

last solar at Mary’s mom‘s funeral so it’s been a while. We met at the Capitol One and we really had a nice time hanging out and talking and cheering.

We had a little snack and coffee. We then walked to Rittenhouse Square on a lovely fall day that we had. We set our goodbyes and headed out to Mary‘s house.

We dropped off the coterie board charcuterie board That Betty had bought Mary for her birthday. It’s very nice made by hand, etc. It’s very nice wood

you can’t wash it with soap that’s how nice it is. Anyhow, we then headed to the café and we had called earlier for a reservation and the table was reserved for

all of us. Larry showed up like about two minutes late and had found a parking spot across the street from the café, which is a modern miracle considering

how difficult it is to find parking there. We all hung out and had a really fun time. We shared about all kinds of stuff from childhood to our trip to

Alaska to Larry’s trip to Alaska. He had visited Alaska with his wife back in 2019. Wife’s name is Allen by the way back then Larry was very heavy my

God he he’s really in shape today compared to what he looked like in 2019. He had a trip to China that really made him think seriously about taking care of himself. I won’t tell that story. Anyhow,

it’s now 3:21 PM. Mary got some shoes from Amazon as well as a couple other items for household help. Mike called and said that his sister and nephew did

show up and moved his stuff. In fact, the Nephew encouraged him to throw other stuff out that I didn’t get them to throw out which was good. The only bad

news is, they found roaches in the bed, which is a little troubling, so the drama continues. Anyhow, Mike has no electricity today because the effective date of the turnaround of power is not

till tomorrow. So we’re heading out to Yoga. well, we went to Kaitlyn‘s yoga class and it was pretty good. I must say. It was interesting where she covered up the windows with the curtains

to signify that were in standard time and the weather is changing and time is changing. after Class went back to Dorchester and relaxed it was good to relax and then we decided we’d have some pasta that we’re gonna eat. Took a while to cook, but that’s how it works. Mike has no electricity in his new apartment because pico doesn’t turn it on till Monday, which is tomorrow it’s gonna be interesting. Going in there with Mike’s crap in a new apartment the chair. I usually sit in with thrown out along with the white thing that was near his bed, so I’m not sure what he’s gonna do with all this garbage.

Saturday, October 10: Massage, Brunch & Yoga

Good day, boys and girls of America. It was nice because I got to sleep in and it was pretty glorious being able to sleep in after a very busy week. We

got up in time at around 10:30 AM to go to our 1145 massages that we’re both having. Mary was seeing the new woman and I was seeing Brandon. Anyhow,

we walked up there and Massage was so sorely needed my whole left side from neck to shoulder blade was in need of some work. I couldn’t believe how

stiff I was. Actually, I could cause I felt it last night. I was really really uncomfortable not just stiff but stiff uncomfortable, which made me feel miserable.

Anyway, he had some spots my shoulder shoulder blade and even got to my hamstrings which were really tight, especially near my

knee. He said tight hamstring puts pressure on the knee so I took note of that. I do have a little twinge feeling which he says is my meniscus so I almost

had the same thing that Mary has. Anyway, after that went down to the café, and I had a delicious omelette with goat cheese that was very tasty. Just enough

food do not be too full for Class and we went back to Mary’s a little after 3 PM got ready for class and then went to Miah‘s 4 o’clock class. Miah is a very good

instructor takes time out to demonstrate correct ways of doing the postures and. She also says do what your body will let you do and don’t push too hard

and injure yourself. Which is really really great advice. It was a struggle there at some point in class cause I just had a massage, but it was a good class. We then

went back and had some refreshments and relaxed for a while and then decided what we were gonna have for dinner. We decided to do Curry Leaf instead

of pasta. As as you know out there and Internet land, Royal Indian is closed for three weeks why they changed their name and renovating tire

interior. Today’s the last and a nice days tomorrow is 100% chance of rain and I’m supposed to participate in a tabling for our fest. I mean I’m doing

for the Choir. We’ve had a spade of really nice days and that’s ending where it’s gonna be chance of rain for the next five days we’re going to Curry

Leaf for dinner. I’m gonna be picking it up. It’s now nine 8:24 PM. We watched a Auto Preminger film called anatomy of a murder with Jimmy Stuart and

Lee Remick. Orson Bean George C Scott were also in the movie. It was long, but it was very good. We paid four dollars to rent it instead of going through Amazon prime because prime has commercials we stayed up fairly late and then we decided I would go to the alt to set up and we go to 1 o’clock class with Lupe and then go to the 4 o’clock class supposed to rain for the next few days. 

Monday September 21: Brunch, Sun, & Yoga.

Hi! Today I woke up in the normal work time at 7:45 AM. I felt OK I slept very well obviously I would’ve like to sleep more but we went to bed at a 
decent hour so it wasn’t terrible. I got the Mike’s a little after nine did a couple things around around this place, including the emptying of tubs. Anyhow, I agreed to meet Mary at the café for some scrambled eggs or some kind of eggs to get to my protein in for my recovery from the implant surgery. It’s been a bit rough. I’m just used to not having discomfort for this long. I’ve been spoiled over my last few dental treatments. Anyhow, I ended up going up to the café around noon. Met up with Mary. We talked a lot. we even looked at our account such as Uber Lyft and the Apple wallet to make sure the proper things were in their proper place. I did some cleanup of that we talked, and we also talked to the woman who sits in her usual spot in near ours at the café. She’s very nice. We ran into Amy of HPY and talk to her for a bit after we left the café. That was nice. Anyhow, went back to Mike’s and went to the bank on his behalf to deposit a $200 check his sister sent. I thought she was gonna send 300 but you know how those sisters are. Anyhow, then realized I needed to catch up on blogging and literally just wrote up today’s blog today at around 3:43 PM. It’s now 3:44 PM and I’m at 15th and Locust to go to my first yoga class since last Thursday afternoon before the implant procedure. Well surprisingly there was a good half a day of sunshine. In fact, most of the late morning and afternoon had sun. It’s now 3:50 PM and now the clouds are gathering for the rainfall that will happen later on today. Tonight we have virtual and hopefully I won’t suffer like I have in his previous classes too much. Well, his class wasn’t so bad today. It was a little tough in the beginning because of my teeth and I wasn’t acclimated to the heat as much as I usually am.
