Wednesday, February 18: Off to Florida

Mary and I got up really early at 4:45 AM to finish up packing and eat our bagel and coffee that we bought yesterday. Actually, Mary bought it. We’re flying out the 
North Palm Beach 
Florida. Actually, West Palm Beach airport. Some assholes in Florida rename the Donald Trump airport. Goddamn that’s fucked up. Anyhow, we took the Uber and got to the airport and plenty of time to TSA was a breeze and then we sat and someone told us about the Navy seal museum in Vero Beach Florida. I don’t want to suggest that the Larry cause I don’t really wanna go to it so we’re about to launch. This plane is packed as usual. Larry will be Picking us up from the airport at 11:30 PM. Well, Us to West Palm Beach in plenty of time. We got really lucky we ran into Larry just as he’s approaching our terminal otherwise we’ve been waiting another half hour cause traffic is really bad at the airport. It’s pretty mild here but it’s not hot so that’s good.

Tuesday, February 17: Mike at Hospital. Yoga & Choir

Good day everybody. Today Mary got up for two doctors appointments and I was able to sleep in till about 9:30 AM. That felt pretty good to sleep in.That’s for damn sure. I probably could’ve slept longer, but I got up and had the rest of a bagel that Mary had bought at Montreal spread bagel and I decided to go to Mike’s. I went to Mike and they opened up some packagesthat were already mailed to him and were sitting in the apartment. I had a super coffee and decided to do some blogging because I wentto Mike and they opened up some packages that were already mailed him and were sitting in the apartment. I had a super coffee and decided to do some blogging because I had to catch up from all theevents surrounding my Mom’s wedding. I didn’t decided I would take care of my Td bank business that I’ve been meaning to do for three or four days now. I went to the Td bank and found out everything was taken care of. I decided to apply for a new credit card, which would only be $1000 credit limit and I’d get 2% cash back on every purchase I did on the card so that might come in handy. Who knows as long as I pay off the card right away. That’s what I plan to do cause running a balance is scary especially at the interest rates they charge. I then walk to the hospital where Mike’s at and hung out with him for about an hour and a half. He was not getting out today at all. His new assessment is tomorrow. I mean I texted Amanda and told her that Mike wasn’t coming and I also turned in a timesheet from last Wednesday when I didn’t sign out Since I was busy at days and didn’t get back into the 

city till after 6 PM. After I finished with Mike, it was time to head back to his place and pick up my stuff for my 4 PM yoga class. It’s the next step is to get ready for Florida and to get up really early for the flight. The flight leaves a little after 8 AM tomorrow. Well, I made it for Tina‘s 4 PM 75 minute class. It was packed. She’s very popular and for good reason. It was very hot. In fact I got a little dizzy at the head and knee. I get that way when it’s really hot. The surprising thing was at the end of class when I got up. I got really dizzy, heading towards the place in the studio where you hang up the rented mats. I had to really walk slowly and take it easy. I think it was because I had sugar-free Gatorade from the studio. I also think still tired from this past week. Anyhow, Maryann and I left back for her placethrough a load of laundry and then I ran off to choir practice choir practice was fine. We sang from the one piece and the church was cold as hell. I’m so glad I brought a sweater. Mary Sue and I looked for windows to close we end up finding warm places in the nooks and creating of the second floor of the church. That was pretty fun. Anyhow, choir rehearsal landed with me being officially put into the together concert. I said to the woman “I just wanna be a in the program officially and shit.” Dan just cracked up when he heard that that made my evening. It’s 10:07 PM I’m just about to pick up Indian food after waiting in the restaurant. I did not mind since I got warmed up.

Monday, February 16: Mom’s burial Mark Krull



Hi. Today is Monday. It’s always Monday today. Anyhow, got up around 8:30 AM to get ready to go to the formal burial up at Holy Sepulcher 
cemetery. Well we got up on time. I went to Montreal spread bagel picked up two coffees and a bagel to split for breakfast. Then came back. Mary tooka shower and I ate my sandwich. We got slightly distracted by seeing The Simpsons in Philadelphia that was pretty funny. We then realized time was getting to us and we didn’t leave  garage till 10 of 10 or in other words 9:50 AM. It was a pretty long slide to get to the cemetery and once you got to the cemetery we got lost for 10 minutesand was late, which was extremely stressful for me. I was really stressed out and slammed the car trying to. It was very frustrating. We did get to the cemetery at our few calls from Dave. Somebody got to have got to the got us to the burial site. Once they’re the foot nerve ceremony was nice and short and sweet. We carry the casket to the To the grave. Everyone 
was there, including Larry Nussbaum he showed up. I was nice of him. We carried Dave, Mike, John, and I carried grave. I mean the casket to the
grave. There was a short prayer and we put flowers down then we said our greetings to each other and everyone went to their separate locations. After that, I dropped Mary off and headed towards the airport to drop off the rental. I first got some gas and then drove down dropped off the car and wobbled over to the airport. I had to wait about 25 minutes for the train cause I just missed one. Finally caught the train and it’s 
now 1:04 PM. I am going to arrive at suburban Station. Well, after I got off the train, I decided I was really hungry. Got myself a Gyro sandwich. Came back to Mary’s and while she was washing her hair, I just chowed down and watched TikTok for the first time in four days. That was relaxing. Next, we took a short nap and then went to 4 PM. Yoga with Brian room was pretty warm that’s for sure. It was packed as well. Close to 30 people in there at least. It is a struggle, but I got through it. Afterwards, went back to the 
Dorchester and I had it off to my meeting at ethical Society. The topic was perfectionism, which was very topic considering what happened yesterday arriving late to funeral. Mary & I relaxed, watched an episode of Law and order crashed nicely. Who is a roller coaster of a day that’s putting it mildly. I’m pretty ready to get off this

 ride and chill out in Florida boy that trip to Florida couldn’t have come in a better time after freezing our asses off for 3 1/2 weeks and then the death of my mom this is one vacation that will really feel nice and Mormon stuff
