Wednesday, February 4: Mike’s Computer Down. Yoga Stuff

Well, today is Wednesday hump day. Anyhow, I got up. Got to Mike’s a little after nine. Well when I came in his computer isn’t working because when the thing tries to boot up, it stops in midstream, he accidentally unplugged something, and then the computer started acting up. He has windows 10 and they haven’t had updates for that program in a couple years and he’s unable to update Windows 10 because it’s an old system. Then he found out he could get keyboards at five below of all places so you can get one for 10 bucks so I’m gonna do that. Also, I got in touch with somebody who gave me some very strange gossip which was interesting and also it’s very sunny yet cold outside and I’m now at the five below looking for the computer keyboard. Also, I was having a chitchat with Pat and Mike about him always using right wing talking points to make some point that not every black is liberal not every Hispanic is liberal blah blah blah just trolling Away America. Anyhow, I got back to Mike’s and still the computer would not boot up. I’ve decided to make some lunch. As I was getting home, Amazon called that they had the delivery of the super coffee and the lemonade. I ordered them because they were coming in 24 hours and I was able to get them at a reasonable time. And I was know I was going to be at Mike’s so I don’t have to worry about them for a while. Anyhow, some good news from the Supreme Court for a change they denied a petition from the Republicans to block California’s redistricting plan that would favor the Democrats. Thank God for small favors they already approved the Texas redistricting so I guess they had to approve California cause they’re the same thing though California let their voters decide unlike Texas.

Tuesday February 3: Mike’s Visitors, Errands, Yoga & Choir

This morning I got up around 8 AM and got myself ready to go to Mike’s. I wanted to get there decently close to being on time because he’s got 3️⃣ different visitorscoming and he wanted to be able to take a shower before they all showed up so I showed up early enough for him to take a shower. I ate an 
oatmeal cookie at the Metro bakery.  I ate an oatmeal cookie at the Metro bakery cause I kind of forgot about the egg sandwich. That did OK and also had a protein drink when I got the Mike’s. Tony was the first one to show up. When he showed up Mike growls that he couldn’t find his Social Security card and there was a bunch of folders that are no longer in the spot he had them. Anyway, Mike did a little bit of exercise with Tony and he talked a lot with Tony. After he left, I looked at Threads and shared some stuff with Mary. In the next thing you know it was time to go to my 11:45 AM Cleaning. So I went to that and Mike has a list of things for me to get that Fabio. He gave me $40 because he just got paid from Social Security. That’s the only time of the month he has money. It’s not terribly cold so it’s a good day to step and fetch that’s for sure. Hey, I went to Fabio‘s end up buying them nine underwear‘s cause I bought 33 packs and that wasn’t absolutely necessary but anyway he has underwear. I got them two little trash, cans, body soap, and shampoo and some other things I don’t remember. Anyhow, the nurse who was supposed to visit never showed up so I don’t know what that’s about. When it came 
back from fabulous, he was talking to a Lawyer friend of his yeah today is the mild to stay. We’ve had in quite some time. It’s actuallyabove freezing. As of 2:42 PM it’s 34° and that counts today is mild considering what we’ve had all last week and early this week. My next trip is to CVS to pick up my script and also Mike script as well. Well,I successfully picked up the scripts and told them not to order any more trazodone. I don’t need that. I have plenty supply for when I actually need it. I did get my regular script and that was good. It’s just  
3️⃣ month supply and I came back charged up my phone and got ready to go to yoga. Tina taught the class and boy she really draws in people it was a nice full class and it was perfect heat. I mean it wasn’t cold. It wasn’t cold and it wasn’t like suffocating Hot so I really appreciated that. Then afterwards, Mary and I came back home and we did find out if that Mia officially left the studio. So that blows that’s all I’m gonna say about that. Anyway, chilled out with Mary for a little bit then ran off the choir. It’s kind of cool that the destination is a little bit closer at the Resurrection church at 17th and Sansom rather
than 13th and Spruce. We’re going to get Indian tonight that’s the plan assuming it’s open. Well, Choir was interesting today we’re doing one composition. A group of songs called the killing man. It’s a collage of songs that are sung in Latin French in English and some of the songs are sacred songs. There’s a director told us that PVOP performers about 10 years ago. We’re only allowed two absences because our concerts in April and we’re already in February. Well, I did pick up the Indian at Royal Indian and it was pretty good. We chowed down and watched a law and order and then watched Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert. They were pretty funny at that’s for sure. It’s good to have a laugh in these times when we have an administration in Washington destroying all the norms and people not doing squat about it. people are no better. 

Monday, February 2: Millbourne to Philly. Yoga

Greetings ladies and gents of the Internet circa 2026. I got up around 7:40 AM but of course it took me a while to get going so I ate my breakfastput my tax forms aside and headed off to Mike’s place on Lombard Street. SEPTA market Frankfurt line was running 10 minutes late because of “employee unavailability.“ I love 
that one where they don’t have enough employees and for me get sick to train they skip a train. Anyway, I guess they don’t do on call there. Anyhow, it was pretty damn cold maybe not as cold but it’s still 18° outside, which is cold enough for me. I went to Mike’s. He was distracted as usual, couldn’t get his Social Security thing up in the next thing you know it summary from the agency showed up to just verify that he’s still homeafter the hospital and then he did this interview thing for some money on the Internet. Anyhow, I went to CVS to get my scripts and also pick up some BS for Mike. It’s good to have you legs. Anyhow, we tried to log into real light D for Social Security and it didn’t work on this phone so I’m gonna try that again tomorrowMike is three people visiting tomorrow. They don’t us the time but they’re coming. A Nurse, Social, and physical therapist, three anonymous people we don’t know, but they will not tell us the time cause that’s not part of their policy. well, Mary and I went to byron‘s 4 o’clock class wasn’t that full at all. And it wasn’t terribly hot. Either my right wrist is acting up. I think it’s from using it to hold up my arms in the air. So I have to stop doing that. There’s a good class. We saw Linda there. Evan was manning the Front Desk. I saw Mary Sue going to the 530 class I forgot to ask her if she got any contact from the choir so I’m gonna have to do that. I’m heading to the 6:45 PM MONDAY Night Beginners I’m bringing my water with me. We have our samosas we’re back to normal so that that’s a good thing. Now how I went to the MONDAY Night Beginners meeting the topic was what was your first “addiction” before alcohol and drugs.? That was interesting. That was for sure. I’m now heading back to the Dorchester. We’re going to have samosas and 

    

that’ll be good. I’m a little bit tired, but I feel OK. I feel a little gassy and I’m just look forward to relaxing for the rest of the day. I took some odd pictures tonight. Also, there’s a chance to display my photograph

or photographs in this recovery arts event that’s supposed to happen in May but the stuff is due by February 28. I’m gonna check that out.
