Thursday, August 27: Mike’s Phone & Computer 🧑‍🔧

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.

Wednesday, August 26: Mike Breaks Phone. Yoga

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen of Philadelphia and Even beyond. It’s the middle of the week at the end of the month. I got up gathered up some yoga clothes at breakfast and went on my way. I showed up at Mike’s around 9 AM. His place is a bit of a mask. He was sitting in the bed and I tried to sort things out. Mike then told me his phone wouldn’t charge. He tried every cord in the book and couldn’t get it charged. At that point I ate some snac like yogurt, a banana and some fig newtons cause I still was hungry after eating my breakfast. After I did all that Mike took a nap and I went to a phone repair store. It’s the place the same place as my Massage is located. Anyhow, there is a piece of metal lodged in the charging port. He pulled it out. The phone still wouldn’t charge so it’s either $60-$80 for a new charging port or get a new phone. This man breaks his phone more than any man in history anyway I decide to stop at Starbucks for a Break plus, he’s with an appointment online. It’s now 11:24 AM. Well, another famous 80 year-old died today. It’s not the 80 year-old we’d like to go. It was Tim Curry this time.  He’s famous for the Rocky Horror Picture show. Could we possibly be lucky and have the other one go? I have serious doubts. Anyhow, I was helping Mike call his Dr Shaby and realize I had 8% on my phone so I went down to Mary’s to pick up my cord and then when I arrived at the Dorchester, they had a fire alarm going. I thought about going to the Apple Store, walked halfway there and realized they don’t have lightning cables anymore for any phone older than the iPhone 15. I went back and the fire department wasn’t called so I knew I’d be OK. I ran into Mary and I hung out at her place while charging my phone up. She told me some information after she met with Linda for lunch. I then went back to Mike’s and on the way I left a message for Shelby and they called back and he has an appointment Friday at 2 PM. Tomorrow we try to get Mike’s new computer fixed. Friday I visit Social Security at 10:30 AM. Thank God I had no appointment with Hockenberry, today. Heading to Mary’s it’s almost 4:30 PM. Want to Mary’s got a 15 minute nap which was very nice. We then went to Dan’s 5:30 PM class and Ngozi Yin class. They’re both very good. We decided we do Indian tonight. Is that a pasta and it’s now 946 and ready to sit down and.
