Monday, February 9: Mom Passed Away

Well, this morning after I got to Mike’s, I found out that my mother had passed away this morning. David called me. So he’s making arrangements with the funeral Director, who is a friend of us which is a goodthing so it won’t get ripped off in this time of morning. Period. It’s definitely a shock but considering how she looked yesterday it’snot a complete shock. I’m glad I was able to head out there, even though it was cold as fuck. Tony’s with Mike right now and Mike has the keys to let that next person in. Mayor 
called back and said she was going to meet me at the café so that sounded like a nice idea and I so jumped on it. Yeah it’s cold as fuck out here. I’m tired of it. I’m so glad I’m going to Florida soon. Yeah, our trip to Florida is on the 18th and I had to reschedule my consult to next Monday at 11 AM. Trip to 
Florida might have to be altered, but we’ll see. anyway, I threw in Mike’s laundry and then went off to meet Mary for lunch at the café. The Heart of Catering Café. Anyway, I got there early and I sucked on a large coffee and tried to do some blogging. I had my usual breakfast burrito, which was very tasty. It was. It was nice to get out and hang out with Mary. I felt a lot better afterwards. I think got back to doing errands. For Mike. I got a bunch of stuff at CVS For Mike. I got a whole bunch of stuff. Also got like five cans of poppy delivered by Amazon today so I have a ton of poppy soda. They had a commercial in the Super Bowl was supposed to make y’all fresh and hip for drinking that stuff. Anyway, it’s 3:00 PM. I just threw Mike’s stuff in the dryer 2:21 PM so hopefully it’ll be dry at 3:21 PM that is the ideal. 

Sunday, February 8: Frigid 🥶🥶 Last Visit w/ Mom

Hello and good morning. Welcome to Arctic winner 2026. I got up and when I got up temperature was 7° out. There’s a nice 10 mile an hour
gusts going on. Anyway, I got up prepared my yoga clothes and headed off to see my mom I thought about taking over than decided. I try to catch the 21 that failed and then I caught Uber from 18th and Walnut. I missed the 10 AM bus call to 10:30 AM bus from sixth and ninth Street terminal I was hungry so I had two pieces a pound cake considered the traditional one piece. Took the bus & and boy it was just frigid walk the 10 minutes it took maybe more than 10 minutes to walk from the bus stop to the Riddle Village. It is cold as fuck out here. I then
visited mom. She did not look real great. She was really tired really couldn’t wake her up and she had bad skin tears and just happened 
as of the 31st and February 6. Nurse came by another staff member came by, which is cool yeah she’s looking pretty out of it today. it was not her Best. Now walking to the bus stop oh my God just hit me and I can’t talk anymore. Anyhow, I did manage to catch the bus back to Upper Darby got back by around 1:30 PM then I just relax for 2️⃣ hours and 
then I in a little bit of lunch and then look to find that acceptance running up to 15 minutes late to be there police activity stuff from this morning so 
I’m catching at 3:22 PM Bus, which should be here about now but we’ll see. I’ll have to skip the 3:22 PM bus and the 332 bus showed up about a 
minute later 3:33 PM. I waited almost 20 minutes for this strain not good. Well, I got to Kaitlyn‘s 90 minute hot class and oh my God it  & it was packed. I managed to get there on time but just barely. The official count was 30 people, but it felt like more than that. But I guess it’s true. They had 3️⃣ full rows and I guess each row had 🔟 people along it so I guess that would fill up a room. It was a good class. I’m glad I madeit so a couple people I know such as Linda and HAIM. Further was also there. Byron was there because he’s teaching a teacher certification class. Iwas the last person out of the broom.

Saturday, February 7: Cold 🥶 Breakfast Haircut &

Good day boys and girls today is Saturday and it’s the coldest day of the year thus far. And we’ve had colder overnight temperatures but @ midmorning it was 9° outside!!!! 🥶 🥶 It’s currently 11° outside 
right now. It’s almost 1 PM. Mary and I got up put on our warmest clothes and went to the café for breakfast. Mary had a 12:45 PM appointment for a massage for her neck 
and back because of her slip on the black ice. We ate breakfast talked with the employees and got ourselves going. I now have to get my 
haircut. That’s what I plan to do. Almost forgot to mention someone who works at the café was interested in my video of the coffee steaming.  
see if I get any kudos or anything else mentioned on their website or something. I don’t know. Just finished my haircut and now I’m going to the windtunnel at the Dorchester. Marion, I came back to the Dorchester and relax and watch some very funny videos and hilarious as shit literal memes with pictures of three well saying well well well etc. it was just funny as crap and then we found Emily Cleaves videos and a neck video for Mary. Next thing you know it it was 330. It was trying to get 
ready for byron’s 4 PM 90 minute class. Well, byron’s class is pretty good. It was fairly crowded. Tina was next to me practicing and running the front desk. She gave us a tip about holding her ankles. Actually byron corrected me on not holding my foot in the top of my toes, but grabbing my ankles. That’s the first time I’ve ever been told to do that. He was pretty insistent upon it. Pain was very helpful afterwards when we talkedabout that. After class we hung out and then eventually I got Indian and we sang songs and watched Law and order. The coldest has been absolutely outrageous as last two weeks. It’s just beyond what I’ve dealt with since 1985 when I was in Indiana at approach choice rally where the high was 4° in the middle of the afternoon.
