Tuesday, July 28: Medicare Prep, Mike’s, Achy, and Yoga

Good day, ladies and gentlemen of the faith, and not of the faith who have faith in whatever they believe. Today is Tuesday and it’s one of these cloudy humid days that will present itself in rain. I got Upper extra Early along with Mary and she had to go to the doctors appointment at 9:45 AM and I of course had to go to Mike’s. Anyhow, I got to Mike’s and did a little bit of cleanup and then the nurse came. about that time, I was calling Medicare and the PEBTF from the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania. I looked up my SSA account and ask the PEBTF how my name was spelled out and it only has the middle initials so I made an appointment with Social Security on Friday, August 28. Yes, it’s a month from now but that’s the best I could do. I’m basically going to go back to Millbourne pick up the Social Security card that has the full middle name on it and turn it in so there’s no freaking problems with getting my check when I decide to receive it. Anyway, August 5 is the magical day. I attempt to apply for Medicare and hopefully that’ll that’ll work out smoothly. After that, I decided to eat lunch and take a walk with Mike so after lunch, I walked with Mike and enjoy that Samosa for lunch for sure. The walk went OK. He walked further than he has in a long time which was good. After that, I just thought I’d return his housing interest form to the John Fox Towers and I did and I got a copy of the form with a stamp on it so that’s good. Well top 2:50 PM I’m getting close to the CVS at 15th to pick up Mike’s liter of Pepsi or Coke whatever they got left and to pick up my script for the Rava statin. It’s very cloudy. It rained a little bit while I was in the café. I didn’t have to get back to Mike’s drink some lemonade because Coffee is a diuretic and get ready for yoga. It’s a 90 minute class with Virgil today. I got back to Mike’s gave him his food did a little dishwashing. Then heard from my friend Linda cause I had shared notes she took for a group we were in from 2008 and she gave me some updates about friends and colleagues back from Millville. She has a boyfriend of two years and he lives in Massachusetts. She’s gonna be visiting Millville and seeing one of our old friends, Jane. Very interesting then Mike and I talked about adventures and stuff and had a good laugh. Now it’s time to go to a 90 minute class in the humidity. I feel very fortunate the rain has didn’t start at 4 PM like they predicted earlier today. 

Monday, July 27: Mike’s & Yoga! Family Tracksuits

Good day everybody it’s Monday the last week of July 2026. I spent part of the day correct finishing up yesterday‘s block posting cause I just didn’t feel like dealing with it plus, it was very very long and had lots of pictures. Today I got an order food into Mike’s and it showed up on time. Mike also ordered something as well to hold them over till his Social Security check comes in August 3. He doesn’t get his August food stamps till the 10th or 11 August. His July food stamps were stolen anyhow Mike and I did go out for a short walk and just we were out there. There are some kind of cloudburst that came in. There was also some blue sky, but it had a sudden pouring rain so he got inside. Mike’s laundry was done by the due to replaces me on the weekends. Today, I got to put down a deposit for the Mexico trip that’s in the middle of February. The Choir performance for America 250 is confirmed just today. It’s not 3:21 PM. I have to start getting photos in this blog and getting ready for yoga. Mary tells me that her legs feeling better after the massage she had today which was good. Well, I signed out the Mike’s and Loan behold has started raining again. The two times I went outside after I showedl up to work. It starts raining. Anyhow, Shalice is subbing for byron today that had to be a last-minute change because as the last night byron was teaching the class. Hopefully I’m not gonna get too wet. Anyhow, I didn’t get too wet. The rain pretty much stopped and I went to class there was about 10 minutes there and it was a good temperature wasn’t bad at all. How we hung out we paid our $800 deposit to go to the trip and then we walk back to the Dorchester and I went to my MONDAY Night Beginners meeting.

Sunday, July 26: Café. Trip to Millbourne

Hi today is Sunday and we slept in and decided to go to the Café for breakfast and coffee. We walked there and enjoyed some heovos ranchos.  We hung out and each had 2 coffees. We then came back to the Dorchester and decided to cancel the Reiki training. We called and hadto leave a. message I then decided to not to attend Yoga today @ 4pm. Angozzoi was to be teaching this class. We decided not to do the Yoga so we went to Melbourne to pick up my computer so I could fill out forms a lot easier than filling them out with my phone. We had it at the Millbourne via the 21 bus. I got us there pretty quickly. Pretty quickly as relative when it comes to the 21 bus. We only had to wait for about one minute. Once we got the milk, we relaxed for a little bit and then we went to the Indian store nearby got some stuff and I updated my computer for the windows update except for one. Then we decided we would take the train to 40th St. we decided with some Indian food at the New Delhi restaurant. well, we chow down pretty good but the bill was pretty high for Indian buffet. The prices of the buffets have gone through the roof. Decided to take Uber cause there was police activity for 40th St. L stop and the 21 bus wasn’t coming for another 15 minutes and it was 8:30 PM. So we took an Uber and he got us back to City by 9 PM. Once we got back to the Dorchester, we put picked up some laundry put it in the dryer and then we talked to Wes for 2 1/2 hours. We were making AI generated pictures that were completely hilarious of us dressed up and track suits like John did on his original post on the crawlers chat page. It was a very fun way to end the evening. We hope to get together with Wes soon. Anyhow, so another weekend in the year 2026. July is almost over and it went by pretty quickly. I must say. We are definitely going on the trip to Mexico. We paid for the flight already and now we have to put down the $800 deposit at the studio to reserve our spot. Next week I have to call Medicare and officially request that and I’m afraid I’m gonna have to pay three month premium upfront to get my card which is pretty bizarre and bogus. Yeah you can have them bill you monthly but you have to fill out a form or go online and that’ll take them 6 to 8 weeks so I’m gonna have to plug down the first three months of coverage of part B so that’s 203×3 you know you can do the math over $600. Anyhow, I’m not a plate plate, licking senior that the Medicare agents look for. I can’t believe how I’m consulting that is. I still haven’t gotten arise out of anybody about it. Anyhow tomorrow is Monday last week in July and then next thing you know it’s gonna be August. They call the dog days of August. I really think we’re over the worst of the superduper heat wave. They usually happens in July nowadays. The World Cup hype is done. The Phillies are blundering along. They did manage to beat the Yankees for the first time and stop a four game losing streak, but if they don’t do anything this year, they’re gonna blow up the lineup. And there’s gonna be so much hype about the 76ers cause they got LeBron. Let’s hope it’s worth it. One person said that two year $8 million deals to steal! I think that person was from the Wall Street Journal but I’m not sure.
