Monday, February 3: Leaving Florida

This morning we got up at around 7:45 AM. Double checked for more clothes and found some. I had to fill my bag to the rim. Front is very strict
 about 

personal items. Carry on luggage and an extra 70 bucks. Anyhow, I ate two yogurt, cereal, and a banana. And then drink one of my super coffees. I think I’m 


going to have to sacrifice the other super coffee that’s left. Larry dropped us off at the airport and since we had plenty of time I just wanted to sit and finish my super coffee that I have here. I’m

 pretty tired that’s for sure. Larry checked in with us to see if we were OK so far the flight was to leave on time. Also, Mary’s going 
check with Veronica to see if she got her money

 back. We got through TSA OK and our flights scheduled to leave at 10:41 AM. It’s 10:00 AM now. It’s now 1:42 PM. We just getting off the airplane. We’re gonna take Uber back and save some time. I’m still thinking

 I could make a yoga class today, especially if we get to take Uber and empty out the stuff that I have in my 

backpack.🎒 we took a quick right back with the Uber. He was very 

efficient about getting us back to the Dorchester. We then did a little bit 

of unpacking and took a short nap. It’s cooler here obviously, but not that bad considering

 what we had been experiencing before we went to Florida. Now

 it’s 3:38 PM, heading to yoga with Byron. Well, Byron‘s class is 

definitely an icebreaker after missing four classes in a row. I haven’t 

done that in a while. That’s probably since my last weeklongd vacation in California. 

The class was very good there was anThe class was very good. There

 was a number teachers in the front row and it was a bit tough after 

missing that many classes, but it was a good class we took our samosas went back

 to Mary’s place. I had a little bit of soup. Anyhow, 
it’s 6:46 PM I’m going to my meeting. The meeting was a speaker meeting was pretty good. I must say I left the meeting and went back and had my samosas and some delicious soup that Mary brought. We watched two episodes of madman which was really good within went to bed by 11 which was good.

Thursday, January 30: Off to Florida!

This morning I woke up very very tired because I had trouble sleeping earlier. The last thing I remember was being that homer Simpson 


fell in love with a woman named Terri. I got up carrying my backpack and forgot to bring one of my 32 ounce super coffees. I’m going to try to get them to send me a free 
case of it since 

they effed up the order and you can’t return this item. Anyway, I got the Mike’s didn’t do all that much. I did however pick

 up some scripts for him at the alternative South Street pharmacy. I took a nap and I ended up talking to Wayne for a little while. Good to hear from Wayne. 

He’s doing well. He’s 72 years old and still spry. I called Rochelle from PCA to have him call Mike back so far she has not called him back so I sent her a text

 message. It’s 12:01 PM. I’m gonna be getting ready to leave very soon. Well I left Mike’s in cold weather and walk through Center City and took a bunch of pictures on the way to 

Mary’s. Mary is still packing stuff. We’re almost ready to go when we want to 

catch The 125 airport line train to the airport will be in terminal E. What’s 

up our flight isn’t disrupted by the incompetence of the two week old Trump administration. Well, I called Uber 
and we got to the train just Nick a time. That Uber driver was really slow, 

but we got to the train on time. I just was reading that proposed legislation in Philadelphia City Council would allow renters
 to pay their security deposit in  4️⃣ month increments and limit the application fees to $20. Of course, landlords don’t like the idea.  Security deposits +1st and last
month rent that’s three months rent upfront are a huge burden. Philly being the poorest big city in America, how can people afford that? Anyhow, the train

 got us to the airport without a hitch and we arrived at the airport around 2:05 PM. Well, we’re at the airport. I just finished a sandwich and wanted to look at the news and something 
that’s I just read this not about the orange menace is that Marianne Faithfull died today. She’s well known for dating Mick Jagger in the swinging 60s in London. she was 78 years old.   

It’s 5:52 PM. This plane has more kids running around and I’ve ever seen on any flight domestic or otherwise. I think there’s a convention of orthodox Jewish folk here 

as well in the back area of this plane. This plane is no charging in it at all. Beautiful sunset out the window. I took a nap for about an hour sitting
straight up. That’s how tired I was.

Tuesday, May 7: leaving Amsterdam, Back in Philly

I got up at 4 AM and had everything ready and when I went to the 

Google Maps the train that I saw last night didn’t exist so I tried to catch this local train. Got lost trying to find it so I said fuck it. I’ll just take the 515 train then

 when I got to Amsterdam Central after going underneath 
the tunnel to go to the other side,told me about five section 5 had to train that I was supposed to go to so I caught this train with about a minute to spare. Thanks for this 

nice couple. Well, it’s 7:20 PM and we’re finally just about to go in the runway to takeoff. This flight is mostly empty actually but they still managed 

to jam all of us tuck together. It’s kind of funny. I arrived to Copenhagen and soon realized I was at the furthest gate, which was gate. The Casey of all kinds of luxury, good and restaurants this part of the airport

 vending machine or you can buy from 7-Eleven go so I killed time by eating a sandwich falling asleep on the table for a minute

 and updating my blog from yesterday. it’s now 1148 boarding has started for this flight. It really has started for this flight. I’m not able to charge my phone so it’s going to 
be somewhat dicey. Keep the battery going. Well, the flight went smoothly. I couldn’t touch my phone
because I know after it goes below 20% the battery runs out really quickly

. They gave us a decent dinner and about an hour and a half before landing they gave us a little sandwich so it was pretty good treatment I must say. I’m now at passport control. It’s 3:02 PM 4:28 PM,  I had 

to go to the third-floor of the airport after passport control. Passport control was really

 simple because they had biometrics and they didn’t ask me any 

questions. Bob picked me up on the third level of the airport. We tried
to drive to the Amtrak station at Newark liberty airport but you can’t get there so so we had to drive into downtown Newark and I missed
one train 



but made another train with a minute to spare so I’ll get to Philly at 5:30. 

well, I got the five if Philly at 5:30 PM sharp the train was right on time.

 I just decided to forgo the cab because there was the only cab with some kind of gypsy dude. I was like screw that so I luckily caught the EL as it was showing

 up This alarm was buzzing so LOUD I was glad to catch the train so quickly.  I walked up to Walnut Street and 15th and caught the first bus. & went to Mary’s. It is 

very warm out. I am wearing a winter coat fortunate taken off my warm shirt otherwise I’d be sweating like a madman. I relaxed at Mary’s where I was treated to 

a leftover breakfast burrito and some yogurt. I also forgot to take a nice cleansing
shower. That was really appreciated because otherwise I’ll be going into 

choir but draggled and tired so I had to do was just show up a little bit tired and

 pushed through.choir practice was somewhat long and drawn out. He forgot

 he started rehearsal at seven and instead of 730 so I was about 10 to 12 minutes late. It didn’t matter today which was nice. We didn’t rehearsal till 950. To park

 my mind at 10:10 PM tonight part of me is at 4:10 AM exactly 24 hours ago when I woke up. So tomorrow I start back at work and I will not be going to yoga because I’m going to book signing.
