Tuesday, April 21: Riser Set Up. Hot Yoga & Choir Rehearsal

Good Tuesday everyone out there in the Internet world. Today I got up after sleeping pretty well and having a weird dream that Iwanted somebody to shoot me in the head. He didn’t and I started healing myself. Anyhow, I got up went to Mike’s and immediately put stuff away. Anyway, 😁Nichole came with a brand new nursing graduate and went over Mike’s health problems. I then had to catch LIFT to get ready to go to a storage place on 3114 Greys Ferry Avenue. I asked for wait-and-see and the guy showed up very quickly and he liked the fact I was listening to Carter Anderson, so I shared it with him. I got to the storage place early, so I had a little bite to eat, and then everyone showed up there were six of us which really helped out. We loaded everything into the van and then came back to the church of the holy Trinity and then unloaded them from the van and set them up at the church for tonight’s & Tomorrow night’s rehearsal. It went very smoothly because instead of having three people, we had seven people and the woman who is begging people every rehearsal for hell got what you wanted. Last time before the together concert they only had three people. I know I would’ve made it for people, but I don’t think I showed up. I probably had something going on. Anyhow, a bunch of folks went to get ice cream. I left them at 16th and spruce cause I wanted to get like a big old sandwich so I decided I would split a chicken cheesesteak with Mike and get full and happy. So I went to the local pizza place to pick up the chicken cheesesteak.
Well, I ate a chicken cheesesteak and it was very tasty. In the meantime, I got cold and realized the window was open from before. It’s already 3:08 PM Mike’s checking out has any scripts ready but I don’t know if I have enough time to go fetch the Scripps and make it to our 4 o’clock class today. Well it’s 3:48 PM I’m approaching 15th and Sansom. I’m heading to Yoga and it remains cool outside. Gina is teaching the 4 PM, 90 minute class today other than the cold weather and a breeze, it’s a pretty nice day outside. well, he went to Tina‘s class and God the studio was piping hot like it was summertime today. That room was hot! Hot! It was a good Class. I really enjoyed it, but I was thirsty as all get out.
 We hung out the studio a little bit and then we got a smoothie he went back to Mary’s place and I had a poppy along some iced tea to the rehearsal. When I got the rehearsal, the Orchestra was in the midst of practicing when I got here, but I got here in time. That’s all that really mattered.it’s a big night. Well, the rehearsal was very intense. I’m so glad it was held at the church of the holy Trinity since it’s very close to everything. By the last song, I was pretty much fried and struggled through that song and it’s a long one too. Mary ordered our Indian food. I’m gonna be picking it up in a minute. I don’t know if I can make a 9 o’clock class tomorrow but I will try since I have to get up for work anyway. I did treat Mike to a cheesesteak so I would like to go to the class, but we will see.

Tuesday, January 27: McGee Rehab, Choir Risers, & Yoga

Well today I got up around eight had breakfast then I called LIFT and they were charging 28 bucks for the trip so I went down there to pick it up 

and suddenly the driver wasn’t there so I had to wait another eight minutes for a second drive to show up so I was 20 minutes late. I was very fortunate that the lady saw me right away and had no problems since it looked like it was lightly attended. there are a lot of people didn’t show up due to the remnants of the snow. I was gonna catch the seven, but it blew right by just when I was coming out of McGee and I caughtthe 64 abroad and Ellsworth and walked to Mike’s. Well, I warmed up at Mike’s as I should’ve. I’ve then decided to have lunch and have a juicy and some coffee and that’s what I did. It’s now 1249. I’m tracing through the snow heading to help out with moving risers. Mike called this morning. I called him back and he stated that he would not be going home today as he previously thought for a minute. He will be transported by ambulance,
but there are concern they won’t be able to deliver him due to the street conditions, which is ridiculous. So at least he’s not coming home today, which is actually convenient for me today cause I’m supposed to help out with clearing risers at 1 o’clock today. Apple has an update for iOS 26. this update will enable folks in Australia with older iPhones to make a 911 emergency calls. I’m not sure it does anything else but I think that’s pretty funny. A very specific group of people. By the way it’s summer in Australia now. Temperature is in triple

digits, Fahrenheit, and 51°C.  Someone we know in Yoga his son Harrison Fishman directed an HBO reality series called neighbors. https://m.imdb.com/news/ni65678526/ think he wrote it too. Well, I did go ahead and help with clearing the risers that was quite a job. There were 6️⃣ of us there in total. Maybe only 5️⃣ of us there. We first moved the risers to the van and then 2️⃣ of us drove the van and 3️⃣ of us took Uber to the storage place in Grace ferry. Guy was nice enough to pay for the $$11 fare. Anyhow, we got the storage 

place and had to take out bins first to fit in the risers. It was quite a job. Those risers are heavy. I had to be really careful not to hurt myself. I can tell him not the strapping  l 30-year-old I used to be but I did OK after that. I went to Mary’s and went to Tina‘s 4 o’clock class. I was pretty stiff but I did OK. Tina is a really good teacher. She’s very encouraging. After that, I didn’t have to go to choir, but because I found out from the folks, I was with  that the rehearsal was canceled due to the weather. It’s going to get really really, really frigid this coming weekend Friday and Saturday are gonna be the coldest days and in several years. Mary and I then had some Indian and watched a couple episodes of Law and order. Mike is 

supposed to get out of the  hospital tomorrow. He said 9:30 AM but I doubt that’s gonna happen.
