Good day to everyone who reads this and to others as well. Today is Friday I got up around 7:50 AM after hitting the snooze button several times when it went off at 7:30 AM. I had some Oatmeal, gather my belongings and headed out. The water was left out so I figured I would buy some cold water somewhere during the day. Anyhow, I have I had a Social Security administration appointment at 15th and JFK Boulevard. I got there with only 5️⃣ minutes to spare. I did the online check-in and they gave me a number on my phone. I was seen right on time at 10:10 AM. I showed the woman all my various IDs and it was determined that they’re gonna change my name from Mark Krull to Marc Daniel Crowe so she literally typed in the change of name, place of birth and said the new Medicare card with my full name would be mailed out in about 5 to 10 days. She didn’t say that, but that’s how long I think it’ll take. I bought two bottles of water on the way back for my thermos. When I got back,Mary reminded me That I should call the state of Pennsylvania to make sure they have the same ID because my medical plans going to change effective November 1 and the state has me as Mark D Krull so I have to call them and I did. When I called them I had to call SERS after calling PEBTF. The SERS woman said I had to have this form filled out so I got the form online and send it to Mary for her to type so I have to fill that out and mail it out to the Commonwealth after all that mess, I checked TSA pre-and I think they have me with just the middle initial but I can’t say I I’m going to get that uptight about it cause we’re interviewing on September 9 for global entry so that’ll probably have to be discussed as well. Anyhow, it’s now 1:04 PM in this ride, supposed to come and get us to take Mike to a doctors appointment at 2 PM about a swollen foot. Hopefully we’ll get back before 3:30. Well, it’s 2:50 PM we’re about to miss our ride back because Mike’s been in there way long time with the doctor. They looks like they’re all interns or something cause taking a long time. Well, I went in there around 2:50 PM and I knocked. The doctor said he’s gonna get blood work done and it would take 10 to 15 minutes so I immediately gave up on the 4 o’clock class. Do you guy waited an extra 10 to 15 minutes and then I just told him to go home. It’s now 3:18 PM and this young doctors taking her sweet time with Mike. I talked to Mary for about 10 minutes or so and will aim for the 5:30 PM class with loopy. It was good to talk to her and pace around cause it’s been frustrating. Just sitting in here while this Dr just eats up time. Well, the doctor did eventually allow Mike to leave. Didn’t even take the blood test found out. The doctor was a resident so he’s a doctor but needs approval from A more season to Dr. Anyway, we waited 15 minutes for the Uber. Got the Uber back. the driver was very helpful. I found out who my new coordinator was because Amanda is out having a baby. Then I logged out around 4:15 PM and I’m walking back towards Mary’s but I just found out that Mike’s phone is fixed so I’m gonna go ahead and pick up his phone since we’re not going to 4 o’clock class and probably not going to the 530 either so may as well take care of this business and get it out of the way. I’m tired probably a good day to skip the class. It’s pretty humid and stuff like that. OK, so I got his phone fixed paid for it and bought him a freaking plug and cord that might work and hopefully you won’t forget about or lose it. So I’m going back to Mary’s and I’m gonna return the phone sometime this evening I reckon.
Well, today was the day to get a ride between Mike’s place at 1426 Lombard all the way up to 20th between Lombard and Pine to get his computer and his phone fixed. We first went outside at 9:30 waiting for the Uber to come over since we wouldn’t have any idea when he was showing up because Mike has no phone. So we waited for a bit and the guy did drive by and call for us so that was very good. We then got a ride to the Computer store. We found out that the Computer store wasn’t open till 10 so we sat outside for 15 minutes and then the guy did open and we first gave him the computer and found out the software wasn’t installed proper so we had to reinstall it twice to get it fixed. He checked it the first time none of the ports were working so we had to redo it. He was very patient and then he told us what we already knew the poor on this stupid cheap phone was inoperable. So he charged me $60 to get the computer reinstalled. I save four dollars paying in cash. Once we got that done, Mary had at us and we walked over to the hardware store to pick up a screen to protect the computer against possible roach infestation, which happened to the last Computer. We got to the hardware store just before the skies opened up. We hung out and talked for a bit waiting for the rain to calm down, and then we called another Uber that I paid for since the ride back from the place went by because we were way late. We got back up and Mike got the computer to work at long last. After that, the infusion supply lady called to complain that she had stopped by earlier we thought she was the nurse but use some housewife from Northeast Philly. We finally picked. that up I got a big order from Amazon and now it’s already 3:01 PM. Yeah, so I caught up on yesterday‘s blog post and wrote up today’s blog post in the last half hour trying to get it together before I go to yoga at 4 o’clock. Meanwhile, the promotion for today’s yoga class has a picture of a group of us, which includes Mary and I during one of the posture clinic classes. That was the one where one particular person hijacked the class. It was pretty funny to us. It was very strange, but it was informative. Anyhow, the rain is finally calmed down. Maybe I won’t get wet on the way to my 4 o’clock class that would be really good. Well, Shalice taught the class and boy that he studio with humid as all get out. Made the class tougher in that way. Afterwards we managed to dodge the super cloud burst that reappeared and came home a little damp but not terribly wet.. We got back to Mary’s after we went to Max‘s and picked up a thing of cheese for her to cook up the stuffed peppers that she prepared. They are ready to be cooked in the oven currently. It is now 7:49 PM and I’m walking to catch the seven bus to Fairmount for my meeting which starts at 8:15. Google maps says the bus will be a minute early and arrive at 22nd Locust at 7:51 PM. So far the rain held off for now. We’ll see what happens later on tonight. that means pretty good not a new people who shared which was nice. I discovered that the Route 49 bus doesn’t stop by anymore at this hour so I can get back about the same time but I have to walk a little further to catch the bus change is difficult to times, but it’s not that bad.
