Thursday, April 2: Cold & Damp. Rehab and Nap

Good day everybody today is the flipside of what yesterday was weather-wise. Right now it’s barely above 50°
 & there’s is a bit of a wind. I definitely underdressed for the occasion. I read the highest going up to 60 but that happened early at night. I didn’t look at the hour by our temperatures so there’s that. Anyhow, I got to Mike’s. I started the laundry process. I had to fill up two washers cause he accumulated so many dirty clothes that smelled that I had to do that. Next thing is I switched them to the dryer and well one of the washers Spin cycle decided to stop working. It was different than the before when they had the same problem as the left washer now it’s the right washer didn’t do the spin cycle correctly so I had to turn on the dryer twice. I actually use two dryers and the clothes from the working washer or dry and Mike’s folding them up Mike’s calling the chain center and also called about his credit score for the appointment we have tomorrow with 801 Locust. Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi after criticism over Epstein Files. Well, somebody had to take the fall for the whole Epstein debacle. I guess it was her. I guess he’ll hire somebody to do a better cover-up job than her.

Wednesday, April 1: Warm! Welfare Visit

Today I got up earlier than I have been cause. I went to bed later. I had trouble getting out of bed, but I eventually did. I went to Mike’s immediately it was time for me to go to the welfare office and drop off some documents. I took the 40 bus into Parkside Avenue. I wanted to make sure that the documents got dropped off and were received on time. They were due by Friday, April 3. We had an appeal last Thursday, March 26. I was pretty tired and I kind of flaked out. I missed my doctor appointment Dr. Hockenberry,. I didn’t realize it till 2:45 PM. Today’s a late day, so I’m gonna work to Mike’s a little after four. I’m going to take the day off May 1 cause Mike has an appointment at 4 PM on May 1 so I’m gonna put in a day off and on that day. It was very sunny and mild and warm today. I wore a long sleeve shirt, but I ended up taking it off pretty early in the day. First dad didn’t wear a jacket and months. Mike is very tired today and didn’t do much here. I’m gonna go to Yoga & Yin today. Well at our 4 o’clock class Debbie taught and it was a good class. She made us hold the couple poses longer than normal. It was very warm obviously because it was 70° outside. It was a warmest day we had in ages and I wore a short sleeve shirt for the first time without any layers. After that we had a very relaxing Yin class with Charlize I was pretty relaxed after that for sure. Anyhow, Maryann, I went back out after we hung out at the studio and got some smoothies at Metropolitan diner. They were pretty good and then we had bowls and some leftover Chinese vegetables that and neighborhood given Mary this neighbor was getting married the next day. We had to throw one item that was really goofy and funky looking. We then watched to law and order episodes and relaxed.

Tuesday, March 31: NE Philly 4 🎒 Skin cancer appt.

Good morning ladies and gents of the Internet land. I woke up at 7:30 AM so I can get the Mike’s by 8:30. I did this so I had time to do a little bit around the house with Mike and then go back to Northeast Philly and pick up my backpack. I thought about taking Uber straight up there then I figured I could just take the L up to the transportation center and then catch Uber then catch the Uber. Well when I got up there, I figured I’d try to see if I can catch the 14 bus. I got very fortunate that the 14 bus arrived a minute after I got to Frankfurt transportation center. I did a test to see how much LIFT would cost and that was $22. So basically taking the market Frankfurt line saved me about $15-$20. We’re taking this bus and save me a lot more than that. So that’s what I’m doing. It’s 9:46 AM right now. I still might have to take the Uber back to Frankford transportation center to get myself back in  Center City long enough, give myself time to see Dr so-and-so about my cancer that he removed from my head. Well, I took the market Frankford line all the way up to the Frankford transportation center. I got really lucky. I managed to find the 14 bus and waited two minutes and it arrived so I decided to take it rather than take the Uber. Filled out that I saved about $22-$25 doing that which was really good. So I arrived at the place they’re very nice game and Backpack and I discovered I could catch the 14 bus back. Well low and behold, I had to cross about eight lanes of traffic to catch the bus on the far right portion of the Roosevelt Boulevard. The bus wasn’t labeled unfortunately there was a long red light so I caught it just nick of time which was really good. So then I caught the market Frankfurt line and I’m about to get off it Broad and Lombard. It’s now 11:11 AM. Well, I got the Mike’s & got a tiny bit of lunch. This was a yogurt, another super coffee and two bananas. I then had to go to Dr. Ehrlich‘s office by 12:15 PM. He finally saw me at 12:30. He assured me that it was basil carcinoma, which is the least severe of the cancers that I could’ve gotten on the skin and he said it was healing fine. I decided I’d go to Mary’s because my phone died and also I didn’t have time to walk back to Mike’s and catch the bus so I hung out with Mary & charge my phone to about 11% and then just in the nick of time Icon the 12 bus. Took 12 bus and then next caught the 25 Down Columbus Blvd. where I went to therapy. Therapy was good woman ran me some paces and had a medical student there. She put this Rehab tape on my back at the end of the class and that was interesting and then got back to Mike’s charge my phone up to 40% and then left Mike’s and went off to 4 o’clock yoga with Evan. That class was pretty good wasn’t horribly hot but my shoulder was somewhat sore and I’m talking about my left shoulder. It’s now 6:50 PM. I have to leave soon and then go to Choir. We didn’t have choir last week. I got the Choir on time and lo and behold. The rehearsal was an hour shorter because they were doing tryouts for the solos. And I wasn’t really ready to get that done yet. But we went over a couple of songs pretty intently the last number and a few other numbers to get ready for the concert which believe it or not he’s coming up in 3 1/2 weeks believe it or not because April is literally around the corner. And then I picked up the Indian food and and Mary and I watched two episodes of Law and order and got ready to go to bed.
