Tuesday, July 7: Pilates, and Walking.

Well today I woke up after only really sleeping about three hours. I woke up with a very funny dream which I shared on Threads for the hell of it. It was pretty goddamn funny I thought anyway, I got up feeling pretty tired and met Debbie to go to Pilates. I didn’t know what to expect so when I got the class, she talked “classic Pilates.“ The teacher was a middle-age woman who had taught the class before. We start off nice and slow, which was nice. I hadn’t done Pilates in a while and I noted that it was a lot of core work, but I guess that’s what Pilates is about anyway. It was a lot more slow and deliberate than the hot Pilates at the Hot Yoga Philadelphia studio. Debbie let me her one of her mats and she got me in as a guest and I saved 25 bucks so which is cool. Anyway, I came back to the condo and Alice had the AC up to 11 and I was damp and cold and I needed a shower something serious so I took a shower and ate some breakfast. That felt good. I sat with Mary in the back, cause it was too cold in the apartment. After breakfast, I just needed a nap something fierce so I took a nap for about 35 minutes. Mary joined me and it was very pleasant. I really needed that nap to get me moving and grooving. Alice went to the gym and she said she really enjoyed the gym and she felt a lot better. Alice decided she would go to the Maritime museum with Dave which sounded really boring to me. Mary and I went back to the Bay village and I enjoyed it. I guess I’m an old geezer. I enjoyed just walking around looking at stuff. We look for Jim shorts didn’t find any that were under $40 and fit. We did find a nice T-shirt and I had 2️⃣ iced coffees. Mary Sue called us about the Reiki classy teaching on July 30. We were on the phone for for at least 15 minutes as we walked back towards Dave’s world in. Beach Haven. Meanwhile, Alice went kayaking with Dave and enjoyed it herself very much. Then decided we would go out to dinner towards the end the other end of theisland and towards Barnegat and then we figured out Kubel’s is up there the original Kubel’s Too, which used to be to DeFritea’s, was closed down in the building, was reduced the rubble and cleared out for some kind of parking lot for now. Anyhow, we decided to eat there. Mary took a nap and Alice showered. I didn’t wanna nap because I was afraid it would spoil my sleep tonight. I need to sleep better than I did last night for sure. Reiki class of Mary Sue is August 30. We would be level one Reiki teachers, which is kind of bizarre iclass of Mary Sue is August 30. We would be level one Reiki teachers, which is kind of bizarre in my mind  but we’re doing this for a sales but also to help a friend out who’s wanting to get way into Rick and B ranking master. It’s now almost 8 o’clock. We’re gonna go out to leave for dinner around 8:15. They stopped serving dinner at 9:30 PM. Well, it was cloudy today, but it managed not to rain! We went to Kubel’s. We chow down we had chicken wings and we were all so damn hungry. We are two rounds of chicken wings. Mary had the jambalaya and I had a meal can’t pronounce which was pasta and it was really good. We all very much enjoyed our dinner. We were all very hungry. By the time we were finished we were one of the last people left in the bar restaurant. There was one person left at the bar itself. We then got back. They were ready to go to bed. Yes, we were.

Monday, July 6: Rain & Relaxation

Well this morning I woke up to rain and then went back to sleep and basically ate breakfast. I munched in a couple fruits and Saturn did nothing that’s what Mary and I did too. Alice got up a couple hours or like she does and we just lounge around and did not much of anything. Dave went to Target and he’s hopefully going to get us some stock coffee which we ran out of already. It’s now 2:53 PM and and it’s starting to rain harder outside. We’re going to go to the Hands store and get some stuff. Hopefully won’t get too wet. We may be facing this kind of weather for the rest of the week. We’re not sure yet. Of course Donald Trump had to interfere with the World Cup and get a suspension lifted by the top US soccer player. Now Even that’s tainted. Everything he touches is tainted 10 years of him and we are quite de tainted country. That’s for sure. We hung out Dave came over and we talked about this stupid Trump’s bullshit and then he got us some more coffee at the target where he went to. We then decided we’d go out and hit the hand store and get some stuff. We’ve been inside all day in the rain pretty much stopped so we decided all go out shopping so we went there and then Alice dropped us off at the Bay Village and Mary and I are now wandering around the store and still looking for break your old gym shorts which seem to be not a thing. The Hands store wants to sell men’s bathing suits for $88! Yikes! Well, we did find a place that sold $10 T-shirts there was that I almost was able to find a pair of sweatpants but they were always only in smalls and they were 10 bucks. Anyway, we got a little hungry so we decided to get clam chowder and I got myself a coffee to get myself through the Shopping experience, which wasn’t all bad because of the weather it wasn’t all packed and ridiculous like it usually is we called Alice and she was hungry so we decided we’d head up to the custard hut for a snack, but then it was towards 7:00 PM so it was really time to get some dinner so that’s what we did. It was really glad we did that because otherwise we really had no dinner foods back here at the condo they were staying at. After we hung out there for a while we then heard that the USA game was starting and we went down to the beach and hung out at the beach at 64th St. which was very pleasant. There was fog rolling off the Ocean that was starting to come in and then we saw the sunset. That was very nice. We didn’t get back to the condo and the US was losing two to one to the Belgian and they did play that star player Beacon in the game so it’s a real mixed message going on around these parts. Wellwe got back Belgian third goal was just really sloppy play by the defense and they got an easy goal. Then they finished the US off four – one. It led to a test the exchange in our family text. We kind of laughed about it cause we stayed out of it. And then Mary Allison and I just talked for a while. It’s now 11:11 PM. We have to meet Debbie for a Pilates class at 9:20 AM which is earlier than we’ve been getting up for the last three days. We ended up having a pretty full day considering we started the day doing not much of anything. Plus the US lost four – one there can be no bullshit from the Trump be in the magazine the other idiots that it was rigged or some kind of bullshit that they like the pool and they don’t get their way. It’ll be interesting to go Pilates class after. Not really exercising much at all this week. Alice is gonna go swimming and Dave’s gonna join her at least that’s the expectation for tomorrow.
