Sunday, October 26: Sleeping In! Voice Lesson & Yoga

Today is Sunday, I got to sleep in till 10:30 AM and it felt great. Normally I go visit mom and get to her place by 11:30 AM, but her roommate got Covid and my mom is under quarantine 

at the Riddle Village. We went to bed pretty early before 11 o’clock last night and it paid off. I got up got some cereal and hung out and updated my blocked post of yesterday and Friday. And then left Mary’s

and decided I’d wait 12 minutes for the 21 bus too show up and just sit and chill on the bus for a little while. I’m hoping I can get my music printed out before the lesson. It’s at 12:31 PM. I’m on the 21 in 

West Philadelphia. Well, I got back with about an hour to spare before the voice lesson. Got the place prepared. Got some bites to eat. I even fix up the place a little bit. Hannah came over on time for the voice 

lesson. Of course the Lyft driver took her to some different street, but I found her and she was very nice and she had this portable piano which was really cool so we decided to use the kitchen as the starting 

ground for the voice lesson. We did warm-ups for a little while and she said I had a decent voice. She corrected me a little on my breathing and using breath instead of using my throat so much. She related 

it to Yoga, which was very helpful. We then worked on the composition “little lamb.“ The first two parts are unison, and then it breaks out into a funky part just have to practice on my own and listen to it a 

bunch because the tryout is a cappella so as long as I get my rest and my nerves don’t kick up, I should be all right. It is now 3:20 PM. I’m planning to go to the 4 o’clock 90 minute class and then Linda’s special classes at 6 PM. 

I am waiting for the train now. A train arrived about six minutes late, which is about 3:30 PM. Anyhow, I’m heading down to the 4 PM class. well, I got to the 4 PM class on time despite the train being 6️⃣ minutes 

late. Mary was there also. It was a good class. I was very stiff even though it was 4 PM class. Anyhow, after that, and I rested and got ready for the Yin/Meditation class. That class is very interesting. I 

must say we did end, but we did lots of silence. There are a couple poses that I trouble with such as heart bench, but it’s nice to just lie there and relax.


Anyhow, after class, we hung out a bit and we walked back to her place and talked for a bit. I then headed

out to Melbourne. The trial took forever to show up it almost took me an hour to get back. Once I got back, I ate did a little bit of laundry and went to bed.

Sunday, October 19: Canceled Voice Lesson, Visiting Mom


Good morning everybody I got up at 7:30 AM thinking I had to be home at 8:30 AM for a voice lesson that was being held today. Look to find that the voice teacher sent me an email at 3:09 AM. 

My time to cancel because she’s feeling sick. She’s over in Europe, so that’s why I had to see the appointment so soon anyway I got back then ate breakfast and took a nap and headed on down to the Riddle Village. I 

arrived there around 10:50 AM to visit mom. Well, I got to Mom’s and they are sitting in a wheelchair instead of a

regular chair. I guess they’re out of chairs. We didn’t meant back to her room. She got cleaned up and then she took her Rollator back out. We sat for a minute 

cause she got tired and then we went to the fireside room where I always go to relax with mom went there for a bit and then it was time for had lunch. I’ve been talked to Dave and she asked me why she’s 

in a wheelchair and I really didn’t ask. I should have. Anyway, I’ve been waited 45 minutes for the bus to get back now 1:25 PM. It’s time 

for a nap really it’s very sunny and milder than I thought it would be. Why did you go home and I didn’t end up eating some food and then I watched

some football highlights. The Eagles did win but not by much over Carson Wentz & the Vikings. I did do the mighty crash and then got up and ate some 

pasta for dinner. I just laid around and didn’t sing any songs cause I was too tired.
