Monday, September 28: Back in Philly. Media & Yoga

Good happy Monday to all who wish that upon others and ourselves. We arrived in Philadelphia on the train around 2:15 PM. Took a taxi instead of Uber so I wouldn’t have to wait for it. Tried to get my stuff together and crashed around 3:30 PM got up at 8:30 AM went to Mike’s and then I had to keep an appointment at 10 o’clock and immediate PA to get my paperwork in order. And it did need some ordering that’s for sure. Uber driver really took a scenic route there. I didn’t wanna have to take Uber but time was at the essence. Period anyway Miss Murray knew my brother and Mike, which was interesting. So I wait for her to email paperwork and then take it from there at this point. The Media trolley starts right across the office so I waited about 5 to 10 minutes. The trolley came by and I’m riding it back. I’ll be back at Mike’s somewhere around 12:15 PM. Well, I wrote to trolley which was kind of slow but got me to 69th Street. I went to get the 6 9th St. I called Pat negotiating advance rent payments. And then recorded City Hall and then my battery died as I was walking up all night I discovered that Capitol One café had just reopened and it’s now 1225. I’m heading back to Mary‘s to drop off the documents and then I’m going to go back to Mike’s. Once I got back to Mike’s, I did a little bit of cleaning up, but it was too late to start laundry so we’ll have to start that tomorrow since Wednesday we’re going for flu and Covid shots. It’s cloudy it kind of spit rain a little bit, but it is significantly warmer today than what I felt while I was in Boston. I’m pretty tired as usual for the sleep. I got so there’s that I charged up my phone and and there I go and stuff. I then left Mike’s and signed out. I looked at Hot Yoga’s app and byron’s back teaching classes. Hadn’t taught a class in quite some time. It could be very humid there since it pretty humid outside here. It’s not warm, but it is humid.

Sunday, September 27: Nor’easter Starbucks & Amtrak

Hello boys and girls it’s another rainy day on the East Coast. Maryann and I are in Boston. We woke up around 10:30 AM checked out of the hotel. They didn’t charge us anything for leaving after 11 o’clock, which was cool. We then got ourselves ready to get going. Mary unfortunately lost her Hot Yoga Philadelphia ha. We then got an Uber to the Starbucks. The Uber driver was very nice. We got there around 12:30 and it’s now 3:30 PM. We looked at a lot of threads material just laughing and stuff and having a good time drinking multiple iced coffees. A nice Asian couple sat next were very nice. They allowed Mary to see if her charger is charged up and it just needed a joke to get working. The Phillies are actually leading the Rays 4–0 in the third inning. They scored more than one run for the first time in a week. So we’ll see if they hold that lead with that relief pitching. We’re supposed to catch 8 PM Amtrak train. Hopefully it won’t get delayed too much due to the torrential rainfall. So far, I have not gotten any alerts yet. Well, it’s now 5:29 PM. I did get one alert that the train is leaving at 8:01 PM instead of 8:00 PM so that’s OK. The Phillies did manage to beat Blue Jays 7–3 so we are in the playoffs as a wildcard. It’s been relief all around. Naturally folks are somewhat jaded, knowing that we have a history of bowing out the first round with a whimper with no back support. They actually went on the field with their playoff shirts. They should’ve just been said thank you very much about taking me and going in their locker rooms and reevaluate themselves. Anyway, we’ve been in Starbucks for the last 4 1/2 hours killing time.. we stated the Starbucks for another two hours met various people and watched the Phillies win 7 to 3 Diamondbacks lost anyway so that settled lotta commentary on social media about the whole Philly situation. We called Uber but Uber was at least $25 and and LIFT was $12 so we went with the LIFT obviously Guy picked us up and did a nice job and picking us up. We didn’t drove down to the Back Bay Amtrak station at train station was a hot mess. It was on under construction nowhere to sit and we had to work hard ass various people we could find a battery charger since my phone had died have a battery up so went into Amtrak and have a phone to show them. We finally did find the last covered outlet in the station. We then boarded around 810 and left around 812 or so. Mary went to sleep after Providence and I just looked at a bunch of TikTok and Threads, etc. It’s now 1:34 AM but it’s officially Monday and I’m listening to some loser snore really grossly but that’s the way it is.
