Friday, February 6: Cold 🥶 Mike @ 801 Locust. Yoga

Hello ladies and gents of the blocking community. I know the community has gotten smaller with podcast and social media apps but here we are. Anyhow,I got up around 8:15 AM had cereal and headed out to Mike’s. I got there a little after nine might quickly got dressed and we caught an Uber to 801 Locust St.. We’re due there at 10 o’clock for an interview to see if you can get into senior housing or at least get on a list. They asked a lot of questions and he had to fill out an application. The application was filled out was “a pre-application.“ Anyhow, it went pretty smoothly, but the part with the credit and credit card payments didn’t go over that great but lady was very nice. We did get interrupted by a couple tenants asking questions. It was a pretty short ride about seven dollars plus tip to the place. Thankfully, it’s not super windy and cold like tomorrow is going to be. We got back and Nicole visited around 1 PM and went over his health concerns and like. And then finally finished yesterday‘s blog posting. It took forever to finish up. I justcouldn’t quite get it together, but I finally did finish it. Linda and Dave told us about this event at the Barnes foundation tonight which starts around 6 PM or 7 PM I don’t think either Mary and I have the energy to do that. I’ve been doing digestive some results so I’m a little low energy today. Anyhow, it’s 2:04 PM and I’m going to do some errands and buy some stuff for For Mike. Then I’m going to put some pictures on this blog and go to yoga at 4 PM. That is the plan for now. 

Anyhow, it’s 3:42 PM. I left Mike’s before 3:40 PM which was good so I don’t have to completely run to the studio like a banshee. Anyhow, it’s overcast. It’s not horribly cold yet but tomorrow supposed to be very cold and we have a new teacher for Fridays his name is Neil Perry. I don’t remember him honestly anyway. 

Thursday, February 5: Return to Elmwood District Yoga

Good day everyone out there in the Internet land. Did I woke up around 8:10 AM and had a quick bowl of cereal woke up Mary and then headed out to Mike’s. I brought all the materials at Marriott printed out and then Mike had a visit from Tony. Tony ran Mike through the paces and at the same time Penn called about Mike’s condition so while Tony is there Penn talk to Tony and Mike. They agreed that Mike’s doing a little better since the operation. Anyhow, after that, I showed Mike all the papers I brought in the folder and he sent me his rent history and we did find his Social Security award letter and we put in his birth certificate and a copy of the Social Security card we don’t have the original. Hopefully we can turn that in later and still keep a spot. And then I left to go to my old Supervisor‘s retirement party. She’s retiring as of today. Unfortunately, she was very late and I didn’t really get to hang out at the party unfortunately I had to split for my therapist appointmentwhich is at one so I’m gonna be about 15 to 20 minutes late which is not great but I just can’t not show up. Well, as I was leaving the retirement 

celebration, I heard from Mary and she slipped on black ice and fell on her back and head. She said she felt a little out of it and a little dizzy. I suggest that she go to urgent care and she did did go to urgent care they’re gonna see her today. I came back to Mike’s. We determined his appointment with 801 locus‘s at 10:00 AM not 11:00 AM. Some lady called Mike and he was just blabbing and blabbing and blabbing while I ate a very late lunch. Next thing you know it was time for me to leave Mike’s premises and sign out and run off the class. I am running a little bit later than I like. I didn’t put
any of the thermal underwear on, so hopefully I can get undressed fast enough. Mary still waiting to be seen by urgent care. It’s 3:45 PM andit’s cold but it’s not ridiculously cold. Well, I went to Shalice’s 4 o’clock class. I was in the back corner towards the window. It was a good class and I felt positive about how I did. Know what’s concernedabout Mary the whole time but I managed to do OK in the poses and modify when needed. I got a compliment from Tina. She said she had seen one of my poses that was nice. I’m gonna be getting smoothies for both of us since Mary is in the ER department because that’s what the urgent care suggested that you do. And if she didn’t go to the emergency room, they were going to have her sign a piece of paper saying that she refused so it’s now 5:45 PM she’s just seeing the doctor now I’m gonna walk to 10th and Sansom with two smoothies. I’m glad it’s not wickedly cold out. It’s now 27°, which isn’t terrible but a cold snap is coming through tomorrow and Saturday maybe into Sunday so I’ll have to wear the longjohns again. I postponed the cleaning woman from the 15th to March 1 cause I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to park at the meters near my house. We ended up bleeding at the emergency room and she was finally seen, but we didn’t leave till about 10:15 PM. It was a bit exhausting and strange that is loud heating generator on it just made all this noise. There was an angry homeless due to cause a little bit of trouble. Mary checked out OK no bleeding. She’s just told to take aspirin and Tylenol frequently for the next day and a half or so. We then ate some of the stuffed peppers. 🫑 they were quite delicious and both of us were really hungry after a long day especially for Mary. But I think she’s gonna be OK. Tell you this winter weather for the second half of January in February has been quite nasty. We’re supposed to get some really really windy temperature Saturday and into Sunday with a little dusting of snow on top of the stuff 

we already got. I can’t wait till spring.
