Wednesday, October 7: Cool AM. Papers, Mike, & Yin

Good day, ladies and gents and Mike Pence. Today is Wednesday, October 7. In fact that’s that it’s today

all day long in fact. Anyway, I got up around 8:15 AM. It was good to get that extra 45 minutes of sleep. That really really helped. Got the Mike’s and we

went to the Philadelphia senior center. We just basically across Broad Street from where Mike lives. Mike had some difficulty with his endurance

but we made it to the senior center. We got there for him to get some coffee and sit and wait for our appointment with the social worker. This appointment

was at 10:30 AM. She called up the Pennsylvania PUC and we were playing hold for about 35 minutes. In the meantime, she asked questions

and we had conversations. Mike’s gas cut off won’t happen on October 13. There’s been a delay while they look into it and contact Mike. Meanwhile, she gave

us a referral to go to a place in Germantown for an agency that will be able to make a payment on Mike’s behalf. So that went well after that Mike had lunch

at the senior center, and then after that we went back to Mike’s I had lunch and got some email paperwork today. And then made an appointment. Got a

Rental Car and took the day off tomorrow. Got to take care of business. Meanwhile, almost had a restroom malfunction, but that didn’t happen thank God.

It’s now 3:03 PM. I’m going back to Mike’s. I’ll work there till four and then take a nap and go to Yin and Yoga both.  Well, it’s now 4:27 PM Houston. We have a toner problem. I’m heading towards Staples 15th and Chestnut. Well, Staples has one cartridge left thank God so a rush order at 8 AM tomorrow morning will not be necessary thank goodness

Wednesday, September 23: Sun. Life Stuff & Yoga 3X

Good day everybody. The last couple days I’ve not been in the mood the blog I am very much behind. I’ve written up the days, but I haven’t put up the pictures so hopefully I can have a moment of relaxation where I can just sit and twiddle and do that. Anyway, today was decent because it wasn’t going to be raining the whole day. Got up late and enjoyed the extra hour of sleep. That was really glorious. I took Uber to Mike’s. Did some stuff for Mike then I decided I needed protein so I met Mary at the café and we talked quite a bit. The eggs and avocado were really good and then went to my 2 o’clock appointment, I made 2️⃣ phone calls and set up an appointment for Monday to do some paperwork. God willing this is gonna work out. Anyway, it’s now 3:45 PM and Mary and I are doing a triple yoga class today. We’re going away to Boston and that’s the best way to do it. Well, the fact that I got a decent amount of sleep really did help. Dan’s classes are really good. It wasn’t super stuffy so but it was plenty hot enough. I had a complement one of my poses. Next, we went to Pilates and you know Maddie‘s a good teacher, but they were a couple I suppose absolutely could not do cause they were like funky plank poses, and man some tough stuff. After I sweated there, we went to Yin and Hannah teaches a good class I’ve gotten to like her classes. She keeps it simple and Direct. After class, we talk to another classmate about Alaska and the new restaurants and shops opening that are kind of yuppie, etc. it’s not 9:27 PM. We’re going to watch the last episode of the night clerk which is really good. And have some pasta I went to the store and got some more pasta iced tea.

Wednesday August 5: Rain,Humidity & Medicare application

Good morning I got up and had some cereal and then headed on down to Mike’s. I got there a little before 9 AM. It was pouring rain. I checked Uber cost and they wanted to charge up to $45 minimum $28. I checked LIFT and they were looking for a little bit less, but I decided it was OK to walk today. It wasn’t raining quite as hard as it was on Monday. So I got the Mike’s and I was dry. Really glad to have the umbrella though so first thing I did a little bit of cleaning and then it was time to throw in some laundry that was overdue especially the sheet on this bed. While I was doing laundry, I went ahead and went to CVS got him a couple things and a couple scripts. I then had to go to Staples because he needed to pack something for his cousin and that went OK. It’s kind of a longshot today. I applied for Medicare and all they said was that we’ll get back to you. So it’s a good thing that I applied at the earliest day possible because I have a feeling there’s gonna be some bureaucratic bullshit. I have an appointment on Friday, August 28 at the Social Security Office so if there’s some issues I can go there since I have a legitimate appointment. Anyhow, I had an appointment with my therapist and it was pouring rain going to the Therapist. Holy shit I got pretty wet walking from Mike’s to the Therapist. So we talked about things such as family stuff and Divorce stuff. By the time I left the weather cleared up. I got back to Mike’s finished off his laundry. The Spin cycle didn’t work on one of the machines so I had to re-dry one of the loads, but that got done in time and then I went over to the Dorchester took a nap with Mary and  went to Dan’s 75 minute Hot Yoga class. After that we went into yen and that was pretty relaxing. It’s now 8:30 PM. It’s time to head out soon. Well, we had out and navigated Center city towards the CVS 19th and Chestnut went there because Mary had something to pick up that she ordered earlier in the day. It’s quite a navigation getting through Center City. We eventually got back and we talked about the trip  we are taking this coming weekend starting on Friday. We’re heading out to Santa Rosa Airport and then to the cute little Hamlet of Healdsburg California in the wine country. So we started talking about that and Mary was emailing her brother and sister-in-law about certain logistics. We then eventually ordered Indian at Royal Indian and talked to Alice about her trip to Alaska to visit her daughter. She’s taking a train ride bus ride and kayaking trip for a few days she’s very excited to tell us since we were already experts on Alaska, so to speak.
