Thursday, October 8: A Day of Paperwork and driving

Good day everybody it’s 5:04 PM. I just completed admission of paperwork and driving. Got up at 6:30 AM eight wanna Mary’s leftover bagel sandwiches which was absolutely delicious. Then I went to my 7 AM meeting where I opened up the door, etc. The meeting was pretty good I shared and then after the meeting, somebody wished me well today. That was really nice. I must say. I then went back to the Dorchester gathered up my paperwork and ventured for via Uber to 30th St. station to get a rental car. I needed a rental car too go to New Jersey in Delaware County. I took the day off because it wasn’t worth it trying to get everything done and pretend I was working when I really wasn’t. So I drove and traffic wasn’t too bad. Most of the traffic was going towards the city and not towards South Jersey. I stopped at the Wawa and exit 27 and that seemed to help me out took care of personal business there. I arrived then gave out went to the notary. The notary was out in the woods somewhere pretty property. Also had a cute cat. That was very fluffy. Anyway, all the notarizing happened it was time to disembark and head to Delaware County. I got the Delaware County to Media realized that I didn’t have my hat when it was boiling hot with the coat on then my key somehow, the Rental Car key got stuck inside my jacket. I literally asked these guys cut a little hole in my jacket to get the keys out. I gave the paperwork and I’ve happened to forget one piece of paper and also I got a message I left my hat so I had to go back get the paperwork signed and pick up my hat which was fine. Who is in time to go back towards Philadelphia and drop off the card 30th St. station. I end up taking a scenic route because it was avoiding 476 traffic. I then accidentally missed 95 north and took the most scenic route to S. Orange St. in Media. It’s very scenic. Anyhow, I wiggle through traffic and it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been. I arrived in Philly around 5:00 PM gave the keys to the people at the Hertz station and I am now walking back to the Dorchester. I should arrive there by 5:15 at the latest. I’m pretty tired, but I really do want to hit the happy hour Yoga. I’ll be able to relax for a little bit before having to leave for the I think it’s a 6 o’clock class not sure.

Wednesday, October 7: Cool AM. Papers, Mike, & Yin

Good day, ladies and gents and Mike Pence. Today is Wednesday, October 7. In fact that’s that it’s today all day long in fact. Anyway, I got up around 8:15 AM. It was good to get that extra 45 minutes of sleep. That really really helped. Got the Mike’s and we went to the Philadelphia senior center. We just basically across Broad Street from where Mike lives. Mike had some difficulty with his endurance but we made it to the senior center. We got there for him to get some coffee and sit and wait for our appointment with the social worker. This appointment was at 10:30 AM. She called up the Pennsylvania PUC and we were playing hold for about 35 minutes. In the meantime, she asked questions and we had conversations. Mike’s gas cut off won’t happen on October 13. There’s been a delay while they look into it and contact Mike. Meanwhile, she gave us a referral to go to a place in Germantown for an agency that will be able to make a payment on Mike’s behalf. So that went well after that Mike had lunch at the senior center, and then after that we went back to Mike’s I had lunch and got some email paperwork today. And then made an appointment. Got a Rental Car and took the day off tomorrow. Gotta take care of business. Meanwhile, almost had a restroom malfunction, but that didn’t happen thank God. It’s now 3:03 PM. I’m going back to Mike’s. I’ll work there till four and then take a nap and go to Yin and Yoga both.  Well, it’s now 4:27 PM Houston. We have a toner problem. I’m heading towards Staples 15th and Chestnut. Well, Staples has one cartridge left thank God so a rush order at 8 AM tomorrow morning will not be necessary thank goodness

Tuesday, October 6: Mike @Senior Center. Cool. Yoga and Choir.

Good day everybody today I woke up extra early for 70 M. AA meeting. I did share. I ran into Rick I know for the Program from whale and back in the Sunrise

semester days. He was very complementary nice to me. I told him about Mike and he said he would try to call Mike. It was very pleasant. I went back to

Mary’s talk to her a little bit and she went back to sleep and I ate cereal and some iced tea. That was pretty tasty that I walked over to Mike’s got there

around 9:10 AM and I did some cleanup of the liquid materials as usual then I rested a little bit. Need some yogurt. I then assisted Mike down to the senior center. the Philadelphia senior

centers to be exact. We signed in and I got my blood pressure taken and Mike signed up for lunch. He made a small donation in quarters. We decided to wait till the 12:00 PM shift for lunch

came up and we hung around and talked a little bit. It was very busy there. It’s a flurry of activity there. Anyway, Mike did get his lunch and it was macaroni cheese and a chicken patty. The coffee was instant

coffee, which was very strange but Mike drank a little bit of it. We then got back to senior center and I had lunch. Mary called American Airlines about our flight changes and the fact that our seat

for separated from each other for some reason. She put in her global entry in A. I have to call back and put my global entry number which I have not done yet. I would’ve asked her put

mine in, but the cards locked up. Mike called the Scottish Rite House. The guy said to call back in 45 minutes. In the meantime, he called some other people

and try to get his medication of Riland taken care of. It’s a busy day. I’m starting to feel a little gas. It’s 3:10 PM and I’m ready to start going to Yoga soon. Well, after experimenting with

taking two photos and grouping them together via the photo app, I got ready to go packed up and got ready to go to yoga. Boy, Iam  tired now. Anyhow,

I got to Yoga and it was taught by Lupe and it was a really good class. She really is a good instructor. She managed to get a lot of instruction and fit it all

in a 90 minute class. I really enjoyed that. So I’m getting ready for Choir now sing onto God sing yeah!! it was very interesting Choir practice some of the

songs were really very difficult, but others were not so bad. There’s this French tune that was very difficult and somebody made some delicious ratatouille

salad of some sort that was made of pasta noodles.well that got me through the rest of Choir and we did rehearsal till about 9:35 PM. That one song with the French lyrics is really a slug. There’s always one piece that I have difficulty or I don’t like in every rehearsal. Anyhow, Mary and I had the samosas watch a little bit of John Oliver, and law and order.

Monday, October 5: Sunny @ Mike’s Email’s & Yoga

This morning, I let myself sleep in till about 8:15 AM and then got dressed as Mary was getting ready to go to PT. She usually goes to PT on Tuesdays

since regular physical therapist wasn’t in. She was scheduled Monday instead of Tuesday. She had to leave before I did to get to PT on time. She

brought me some coffee, which was very nice from the Montreal spread Bagel. I think got to Mike’s wait for him to get his nap and take medication and then

we walked over to the senior center. They have some good services there and he can get lunch there for cheap people are very nice and we then came

back to his place where he rested. Mike got a letter of notice that he’s gonna be cut off from PG W. he owes them over $550 for not paying on his $76 CRP plan. He

doesn’t have any alternatives last De already used his medical exemption from paying and Lai heap. He doesn’t remember getting a postcard

to automatically enroll so now you have to wait till November 1 so it’s gonna get cold in his room because it starts cooling off by the third week of the month

towards Halloween. So it’s gonna be funky. He’s managed not to get cut off and all the years that I’ve been coming here but it’s finally reached the


dead end. I sent some emails to Susan and I have not heard from her as of 3:18 PM. Just some errors that were made. Anyhow, I’m gonna get ready to go

to yoga soon. Oh yeah Limbo came over to talk and brought in some packages that we were waiting for Mike. Well Limbo Mike kept talking. I took out the trash

and then left to go to 4 PM class with byron Ron. It’s very sunny but it’s definitely you have to wear long sleeve shirt cause it’s a little cool but I can’t

complain. It’s very nice out.  

Well, byron is 4 o’clock classes pretty good I must say. I felt good and felt like stronger than I generally felt. Which was nice. Byron warned Marie not to do

a particular post position because it’s in the heat. Mary will talk to her his PT about that. We then hung out at the studio and then left to go back to Mary’s

house so we could go to Van and I would go to MONDAY Night Beginners. Maryann and I hung out and had fun and then I went to the MONDAY Night Beginners

meeting a little bit late.

Sunday, October 4: Rain,☔️ Breakfast, and Yoga🧘‍♀️

Good day everybody I’m back with the blog with the sloppy photos. Mary and I slept into about 11:15 AM and then went to the café to have breakfast. It was

an enjoyable breakfast. I had a quesadilla and that was very good and filling and Maryann and I talked about stuff and hung out and then we came

back in the rain. It pretty much stopped. Anyhow, we got back to Mary’s picked up a bunch of packages and also went to the convenience store and

picked up some iced tea for later on this evening. Be then hung out and printed some documents and watch a little bit of the Eagles game. They

ended up gagging and losing to the Rams in the fourth quarter. Anyway, we went to Katelynn‘s class today. She said I had to turn up the heat. Didn’t

think it was gonna be as hot as it was but it got pretty warm in that studio. But it was a good class. We hung out and talked to a couple people down to

class. We went back to the Dorchester and we had some of our smoothie drink. We bought it on Amazon. That was good the green machine or whatever

it’s called. Pretty good deal we got two full glasses out of a bottle that was halfway finished already. We have a new bottle waiting. Fills with the stomach nicely. We then watched the Bikram

special done in 2019. It was about his sexual assault cases and how he ran off to Mexico to avoid paying fines and being prosecuted. He’s now flourishing in Mexico and people still go out to his trainings. We then watched highlights of the Padres Brewers game, and Padres won in the bottom of the ninth when the reliever walk three batters. Remind me the Phillies a little bit. We also ordered Indian, which we’re doing for the next couple days because they’ll be closed on Monday for a few weeks for renovations. The  new owners will be taking over after next Monday night, which is tomorrow by the way
