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.

Tuesday, August 4: New Meeting. Capital One, Yoga & Choir

Hi! Good day, boys and girls. I went to a AA meeting. They just literally started today. It was pretty good. I only recognize one person that I seen before I remember him from Sunrise. They have a format and it was drawn up as well as the script to read at each meeting. It looked like a couple guys got together and decided to start this meeting. That’s who I noticed leading the meeting. I went to the meeting and got back to the Dorchester saw Mary before she went off to her PT class. She told me that PT class went very well and she learned some things as well. That was pretty good for sure for sure. After that, I got to Mike’s and Nichole the nurse came by telling Mike first Officet a second to last visit and to get ready for nobody to visit but he can get people to visit if he has his doctor call it in. So that was good to know. I then got a call from my sister and started talking to her about topics and then I decided to check on something and I had to take action on it. It’s one of the many things I have to take care of this summer such as my teeth for example I finally made a tooth appointment, but it’s not for anything getting done just to see if I can even get an implant in the area that I got my teeth extracted. And then I went to Center City got some iced coffee at the Capitol One bank actually gave it to me for free. I was chatting up this guy worked there and I was really cool and Mike asked me to get some stuff to CVS. Which I got. It’s been a pretty good day today. The weather was a complete opposite of yesterday clear not humid and not raining. So I really can’t complain about that at all. Well, I got back and finished off my iced coffee with Mike and then I had a juicy because Yoga’s coming up hopefully the low humidity. It won’t be quite as stifling as it has been. So I’m waiting for a transfer and John’s deal dealing with smoke from fires in Washington state. Spokane, Washington on fire at least the areas that are wooded in Spokane Washington and I saw it on Threads of course where I get all my updated news. Anyhow, found out that we have one of the trainees teaching the class substituting for Kaitlyn I believe. Katelynn is on a big vacation to Europe with her boyfriend so and she teaches a lot of classes. Anyway, finishing up my juicy and heading to class. Well, one of the trainees John taught the class today which was very good. It was a small class and we enjoyed it. We found out one more person was going to the Yoga retreat in February. We hung out at the studio for a while, then headed back to the Dorchester After the we got to the Dorchester, we took a little break and relax for a little bit and had some ice tea and then Mary went off to her. ACA and I went down to the Choir. I first sat on the bench @ Rittenhouse Square & looked at the review of the iPhone 18 and headed down to the choir practice. Well, choir practice was interesting. It was about a third of the Choir rehearsing three songs for the American 250 event at the man music Center. Or the Man Center For the arts that’s what it’s called now. It started at 7:30 PM and ended at 9:30. Mary and I just called in time to curry leaf and got the butter chicken and watched an episode of Law and order. Also watch highlights of the Phillies winning five nothing over than nationals. The Phillies did a lot of position switching for Bryce Harper and Wrightfield Bryson started at first base and we have a new second baseman who got two hits by the way.
