Tuesday, March 31: NE Philly 4 🎒 Skin cancer appt.

Good morning ladies and gents of the Internet land. I woke up at 7:30 AM so I can get the Mike’s by 8:30. I did this so I had time to do a little bit around the house with Mike and then go back to Northeast Philly and pick up my backpack. I thought about taking Uber straight up there then I figured I could just take the L up to the transportation center and then catch Uber then catch the Uber. Well when I got up there, I figured I’d try to see if I can catch the 14 bus. I got very fortunate that the 14 bus arrived a minute after I got to Frankfurt transportation center. I did a test to see how much LIFT would cost and that was $22. So basically taking the market Frankfurt line saved me about $15-$20. We’re taking this bus and save me a lot more than that. So that’s what I’m doing. It’s 9:46 AM right now. I still might have to take the Uber back to Frankford transportation center to get myself back in  Center City long enough, give myself time to see Dr so-and-so about my cancer that he removed from my head. Well, I took the market Frankford line all the way up to the Frankford transportation center. I got really lucky. I managed to find the 14 bus and waited two minutes and it arrived so I decided to take it rather than take the Uber. Filled out that I saved about $22-$25 doing that which was really good. So I arrived at the place they’re very nice game and Backpack and I discovered I could catch the 14 bus back. Well low and behold, I had to cross about eight lanes of traffic to catch the bus on the far right portion of the Roosevelt Boulevard. The bus wasn’t labeled unfortunately there was a long red light so I caught it just nick of time which was really good. So then I caught the market Frankfurt line and I’m about to get off it Broad and Lombard. It’s now 11:11 AM. Well, I got the Mike’s & got a tiny bit of lunch. This was a yogurt, another super coffee and two bananas. I then had to go to Dr. Ehrlich‘s office by 12:15 PM. He finally saw me at 12:30. He assured me that it was basil carcinoma, which is the least severe of the cancers that I could’ve gotten on the skin and he said it was healing fine. I decided I’d go to Mary’s because my phone died and also I didn’t have time to walk back to Mike’s and catch the bus so I hung out with Mary & charge my phone to about 11% and then just in the nick of time Icon the 12 bus. Took 12 bus and then next caught the 25 Down Columbus Blvd. where I went to therapy. Therapy was good woman ran me some paces and had a medical student there. She put this Rehab tape on my back at the end of the class and that was interesting and then got back to Mike’s charge my phone up to 40% and then left Mike’s and went off to 4 o’clock yoga with Evan. That class was pretty good wasn’t horribly hot but my shoulder was somewhat sore and I’m talking about my left shoulder. It’s now 6:50 PM. I have to leave soon and then go to Choir. We didn’t have choir last week. I got the Choir on time and lo and behold. The rehearsal was an hour shorter because they were doing tryouts for the solos. And I wasn’t really ready to get that done yet. But we went over a couple of songs pretty intently the last number and a few other numbers to get ready for the concert which believe it or not he’s coming up in 3 1/2 weeks believe it or not because April is literally around the corner. And then I picked up the Indian food and and Mary and I watched two episodes of Law and order and got ready to go to bed. 

Wednesday, February 11: Helping Dave w/ Mom Stuff

This morning, I woke up feeling a very tired, but definitely better rested than I was the night before. I got a full seven hours of sleep, whichis cool. Mary made me some delicious bacon and eggs, and I went to the café to fetch your coffee. It was quite a nice way to start the morning. I then walked most of the way to Mike’s, but I caught a 12 bus at 18th and Spruce and got off at 15th and spruce. There was only three blocks but it really saved me some time. Fortunately today’s
Wednesday it’s I can sign out late from Mike’s. I then took some pictures for Mike for a Social Security application and then Dave called and wanted me to come up there and help him out with finding mom‘s phone book so we can call people. Also to do some cleanup of her room. I’m heading out via the market Frankford 
line in the Broad Street line. It’s only 2️⃣ minutes slower than calling Uber. Uber is an option if need be. Anyhow, I got home and quickly dove into the 20 Photo Albums that my mom had to dig in some representation of her. Inadvertently of course I ran it to old pictures of myself with people such as Linda, Amsterdam and Kim Lee people I used to see back in the day. It was a trip just as I was catchingan Uber to Media. Alice called and we talked for a little bit until Dave called her. Things are gonna be moving quite fast. I also had to cancel my 2 o’clock appointment.Hopefully I won’t get charged for canceling two hours ahead of time, but I think I have a good excuse. I arrived at Dave’s, and I walked the dog with him. We just shot the shit and talked about the business at hand. He then left on an important errand and I sorted out this box of stuff she has and found some phone numbers of people that she still had communication with which was a Royal find. Also Found obituaries from ColemanSellers my grandfather on my mom side a.k.a. my grandfather. It’s now 1:20 PM I formally canceled my appointment with Hockenberry, 

and Alice called me while David was away which was cool. She was needing help writing up the obituary. I’m hoping we can finish this part of the conversation before Dave gets back. Anyway, I’m in the basement and he has his lower ceiling. I’ve bumped my head like three times. I have a nice bruise on my head or at least a little tiny one. I don’t 

even know if I’m gonna get back in time to get the Mike’s by 4:30 which is my goal at this point, but I don’t wanna cut out on Dave because well that doesn’t have to be discuss. Well, there is no way I was getting back to Mike’s. I ended up going with Dave to the funeral Director after going over Alice’s obituary for three different copies and then Dave printed out the final copy and sent it to the funeral home. I then got a ride to the Media to Media station after Dave and A funeral Director guy talked to golf for 15 minutes. After that I came back to Mary’s and there’s no way I was in the mood to do any yoga even yen and I ended up just lying down and cozying up with her and then we got up and got some Indian. Mary’s going to see the doctor tomorrow about her injuries due to her fall. That’ll be good. Tomorrow I go to the welfare office for Mike.
