Friday, January 17: AM Yoga, Mike Hospital


This morning I woke up in Millbourne and I was tired, but I had slept hard, but not enough. I went outside and just wasn’t into how cold
it was. 
Wasn’t any colder than any other day this month but winners tiring. I caught the train on time and was able to go down to the Staples and fax over a W-4 form. They only 

take out $75 to pay and not 200 as suggested by some Accountent friend of Mike’s. Anyhow, after I went to Staples, I went to 9 AM yoga class, which was taught by Evan since Lauren was 
feeling sick. It was a good
 class, but boy morning yoga is tough for me. But I felt a lot better afterwards. One of the guys in class is  named 
Tom. He hung out with Bob Weir in Mexico



 recently. He’s a grooviest old man That I know that goes to this class. Anyhow, after class, Mary and I 

quickly bought some coffee at Starbucks and went back to her place. I realized

 I could catch the bus straight to eighth and Spruce, which is wonderful cause 

I wasn’t taking that long walk. The bus showed up about five minutes late, but I got it. It’s now 12:12 PM. Southwest 12:58 PM and he got his release papers and we’re gonna go catch our Uber and then I can get paid when we arrive. Well, I was in touch with the agency and I got my tax reform tax form received. Mike got somebody for Sunday and I logged out at 4:15 PM so I got official three hours and that’s that. Finally did take that long away to nap. It felt good but I could’ve done a lot. I got the Mary’s and I hung out and relaxed and had a yogurt and a banana and some tea and then I got myself dressed for the concert. I’m supposed to wear black and that’s what I did. I also have a tie I’ll run it by people see if it’s appropriate It’s now 558. We’re about to start rehearsal right now.

Thursday, January 16:I am NOT Digging Cold🥶


Hello there. I got up at Dorchester. Got myself a nice coffee and went to Mike’s Apartment . The landlord has not shown up yet. anyway 
Mike’s

 Apartment is very cold  I don’t have choir but I have choir the next 2️⃣ days after today I have CODA and Yoga today. The incompetence that I have dealt with in the last 10 days or so has been quite 

frustrating. First of all, I can’t get super Coffee through Amazon without 

a problem. Second thing my payroll department at my new employer

 doesn’t know what they’re doing, and I got some weird advice from an accountant to take out an extra $200 out of mypay of 520 per week. I got Mike’s some 

albuterol which ended up costing $52. Right after that my complained about chest pains and being dizziness so Mike decided he needed to go to the hospital so it’s 1:52 PM and we put putting towards 8th and Spruce

 and all the emergency rooms are packed except in Roxborough, but they’re allowing Mike to go to Pennsylvania hospital thank God. Hopefully they’ll find something and


they’ll take care of it unlike the other four or   5️⃣ times. Well, I’m going around the main entrance at Pennsylvania Hospital and I just heard that David Lynch just died at the age of 78. He was best
known in my mind with creating 

Twin Peaks, which was must CTV on ABC back in. I believe 1990. It was radical TV when We only had UHF and VHF channels! 

Well, it’s now 3:27 PM. They are going to admit Mike. Mike’s in 

good spirits. They’re gonna admit him because his blood pressure goes

 way up when he moves around so I’m walking down ninth Street to 

go to 9th & Lombard so I can catch the bus back. Hopefully, I’ll catch it 

otherwise I’ll just walk straight down Lombard Street. Well, I called the 

agency and they said I have to fill out the form again yada yada Mike 

will be admitted to the hospital so I will not be going to work tomorrow. I think 

after class maybe I’ll just sleep or something. Anyway, it’s now 4:23 PM I’m going go to the 530 class. 

It’s pretty raw and cold out here that is for certain. There is news out that Mark Cuban may be buying out TikTok and 

basing it on blue skies a platform whatever the hell that means. 

So stay tuned boys and girls. Niha I went to the 530 class taught by Hannaleh. She’s a 

relatively new teacher. Wasn’t cruise crowd at all, but it was 

pretty warm. I had heard the 4 o’clock class. The heat wasn’t really that hot. Afterwards, Mary and I walked and then I went to catch a 33 bus but I ended up catching the 49 bus. Dakota and CODA was pretty intense. There’s some new people there and they really did share. And they came back to the lightly coded tundra of Melbourne and got my Steely Dan book finally.

Wednesday, January 15:Dentist, Yoga and Choir


I got up at the The Dorchester and grabbed myself some cereal and sliced tea for breakfast. I first saw the the hype about TikTok being shut down on 

the 19th. There’s big discussion on where people were going. That’s discussed in my other blog for today that just talks about TikTok only. Anyway, I got the Mike’s and it 



was cold outside very cold. I got the Mike’s and it was nice and warm in there. he then had an occupational
therapist come over. She got here 

about 10:15 AM and asked Mike a few questions and had a new exercise bands. They had a discussion his exercise
and had a lot of people are less mobile than Mike that she sees. After she left

 I left because Mike had his appointment with David. He has every Wednesday at 10 o’clock. and then 
he read more to TikTok saying is disgusting

 on my other blog posting for today. Can’t believe Trump‘s gonna be president

 again on Monday. That’s so effed up. Anyway, I came back and 

Mike asked me if he thought it was cold in the apartment. Next thing you know

 we noticed that the heat wasn’t coming on very long and he needed 

to call the repair people ASAP to get this heat back on because it was 50° in Mike’s Apartment both of us were bundled up. Hopefully somebody will come before the day is out. What dance classes 

is pretty good it wasn’t that many people in and that was nice. I did have a struggle

 with my balancing, but I enjoyed the class anyhow. Afterwards Mary and I hung out and talked for a while. She was going to 

stay for the 7 o’clock in and I had to leave to go to a choir /rehearsal. This is a dress rehearsal. We’re

 basically gonna go through the entire concert with some instrumental 

people joining us. I was fortunate I was able to catch the 21 so it gave me time to go to the little store maybe grab a a drink and a snack perhaps I’m going to

have some China masala after the concert Mary’s gonna order some. It’s now 6:50 PM. I arrived here on time and we’re about to get seated for the risers and start the

 dress rehearsal. I grabbed some cracked pepper and sea salt kettle chip cause they didn’t have the regular
 ones that I like. I didn’t realize how hungry I was but then salty food 

is addicting. It’s still very cold outside. It’s 9:12 PM we’re on a 10 

minute break and then we start another 40 minute part of the rehearsal. Feels good to sit down that’s for sure.
