Monday, November 2: First day at 1525 Fitzwater

Good day everybody today was the first day I worked at Mike’s new place at 1525 Fitzwater St. otherwise notice the Scottish Rite House. I took

the 17 Bus up to 19th and Fitzwater and then walk the rest of the way. Mike stuff was brought all over the floor and I spent the greater part of the morning

and early afternoon getting that stuff in order. after I wash things like his utensils and his pill container, I then ran out and did some errands such as going

to the post office change of address, which has to mail a form back to show his ID dropping off the keys in his old Landlord place and talking to Mary

about what to do next. I think I made progress. Before I went off and did those errands I went back to 1426 Lombard St. and found most of his old

furniture piled up in the front of the apartment. Decided to pick a couple of them and leave the rest at the curb because most of stuff was junk anyway. I

called a large vehicle. Uber. Guy was very nice and picked up the stuff. I was able to get the gate opened with these. Mike told me they were not happy

that I told him last minute. Well when I’ve started bringing up the heavy chair, she thought she was worried about bedbugs. So I just rid of the chair. Anyhow,

there’s an interesting first day. It was weird to see Mike’s old apartment completely emptied out of everything. Well that all Mike’s junk. It didn’t look

bad considering what the broom had been through over the last 9 to 10 years. I grabbed a bite of pizza after I went to the post office so I got some

food in my gullet. I didn’t get the routine back bringing my food and what not. He left Mike’s at around 3:31 PM and calculated it to 15 minute walk a real 15

minute walk I think the walk from Mike’s old address was about 10 minutes so I have to leave at 3:30 to get to my yoga class in time. Arrived at the studio about 3:50 PM. Byron teaching 75 minute today. I didn’t do any video the whole way down since I was catching up blogging activities. Well, I completed byron’s class. It was pretty good. I was stiff in some areas, but I think I did OK other areas as well. We hung out at the studio for a while, which was nice and then came back and I had to go to meeting at the 6:45 PM.

Sunday, November 1: Meeting w/ Friends. Last day & Café

This morning we got up around 9 o’clock Eastern standard time. Yes indeed the clocks were turned back today to start the process of getting

darker and darker throughout the winter and stuff like that. We also got up at to meet Betty at the Capitol One café. Mary has not seen her in a while. I’d

last solar at Mary’s mom‘s funeral so it’s been a while. We met at the Capitol One and we really had a nice time hanging out and talking and cheering.

We had a little snack and coffee. We then walked to Rittenhouse Square on a lovely fall day that we had. We set our goodbyes and headed out to Mary‘s house.

We dropped off the coterie board charcuterie board That Betty had bought Mary for her birthday. It’s very nice made by hand, etc. It’s very nice wood

you can’t wash it with soap that’s how nice it is. Anyhow, we then headed to the café and we had called earlier for a reservation and the table was reserved for

all of us. Larry showed up like about two minutes late and had found a parking spot across the street from the café, which is a modern miracle considering

how difficult it is to find parking there. We all hung out and had a really fun time. We shared about all kinds of stuff from childhood to our trip to

Alaska to Larry’s trip to Alaska. He had visited Alaska with his wife back in 2019. Wife’s name is Allen by the way back then Larry was very heavy my

God he he’s really in shape today compared to what he looked like in 2019. He had a trip to China that really made him think seriously about taking care of himself. I won’t tell that story. Anyhow,

it’s now 3:21 PM. Mary got some shoes from Amazon as well as a couple other items for household help. Mike called and said that his sister and nephew did

show up and moved his stuff. In fact, the Nephew encouraged him to throw other stuff out that I didn’t get them to throw out which was good. The only bad

news is, they found roaches in the bed, which is a little troubling, so the drama continues. Anyhow, Mike has no electricity today because the effective date of the turnaround of power is not

till tomorrow. So we’re heading out to Yoga. well, we went to Kaitlyn‘s yoga class and it was pretty good. I must say. It was interesting where she covered up the windows with the curtains

to signify that were in standard time and the weather is changing and time is changing. after Class went back to Dorchester and relaxed it was good to relax and then we decided we’d have some pasta that we’re gonna eat. Took a while to cook, but that’s how it works. Mike has no electricity in his new apartment because pico doesn’t turn it on till Monday, which is tomorrow it’s gonna be interesting. Going in there with Mike’s crap in a new apartment the chair. I usually sit in with thrown out along with the white thing that was near his bed, so I’m not sure what he’s gonna do with all this garbage.
