Saturday, September 26: No Red Sox! Nor’easter instead

Green from Watauga Boston, Massachusetts. After we found out last night that the Red Sox game scheduled for today was postponed and sent to Tampa Bay Florida to be played in a dome stadium. We had to do other plants for today. We first slept in for a while and then had some of our drinks we got up. We then walked to a Starbucks, which ended up being like a tiny little Starbucks with no seating. Then realized it was too gross to go there by walking an additional 18 minutes. Within decided to call left and get lifted to the real Starbucks with actual seating. This was located 1304 Commonwealth Avenue. We went there and the people at the front were really friendly and had fun with us. They gave us our name as go, Red Sox! Which I thought was hilarious. One of the sandwiches had a little bit of blonde hair in it and I whispered to one of the ladies and I got a second sandwich for free, which was obviously the good choice to do. So instead of making a scene and going on social media and decided to do it that way. We then hung out for a while and I caught up with my blog posting and Mary called her brother and caught up with him because he lived in Boston for a while in a while now we’re going to the Isabel Stewart Gardner Museum because we heard from several locals. It was a cool place with lots of trees and stuff inside the building. It’s now 3:26 PM and the northeaster is here. We had some really bad moments but right now it’s just drizzling all day in between the wind, gust and heavy rains. 

Friday, September 25: Amtrak to Boston.

I got up along with Mary and got ready to head out to Boston on our 6:58 AM train to Boston. I didn’t sleep well that great but I had attacked most of it last night which was good. we got the Uber and got to the 30th St. station and plenty of time. We grabbed a bite to eat at the famous Dunkin’ Donuts place at the corner. Grabbed a sandwich breakfast sandwich it is and got going. We got on the train nice and Early found a spot withtwo seats together and got going turned out that our side of the train. The charging port didn’t work and we asked them about three times and finally during the trip we were able to get our phones charged just before we got to Boston. It was a smooth ride. There were no untoward delays or anything like that. We got the Boston and we saw this outdoor festival of food and other things. We saw this tent with Indian food and we decided to purchase some before you go to  the hotel. It was a little expensive for the amount of food, but we figured we better have some food because we hadn’t eaten since. Anyhow, there are some cool buildings in this area Boston. We took a picture of we then took it “T“ the green line. Commonwealth Avenue We got off at Harvard Avenue and walked to the Farrington Inn. This is a location of Boston called well I don’t know if it’s called but it’s like little Korea. There’s Korean restaurants everywhere. This hotel is basically a rooming house back from the 70s. It was really a trip we signed in we paid $40 extra for two nights of a private bath, which was a good move. Then we chow down on our Indian food is very tasty. We were thinking of going back out, but we are really tired and decided we’d lie down we end up crashing for a couple of hours, which felt really good. We got up walking around this one street which I forgot the name of which had all look in Korean stores and we went to a couple of stores grab some fruit iced tea, etc. for the trip back we came back and tried to TV and that didn’t the one of the managers at a place try to fix it and he eventually did fix it. It was pretty hilarious then we just got work well so we had real tired and crashed. Oh yes, we found out that the Red Sox game was being moved to Tampa to be played on Sunday, September 27. We’re not flying to Tampa obviously!! The email also told us that we’ve got our money back in seven days which is really two weeks in real time, but I have to keep an eye on my credit card and see if they put the money back in. Tomorrow is the weather supposed to get a little worse, we’re gonna sleep in and go to Starbucks.

Thursday, September 24: Last Day Before Boston

Good day everybody today is Thursday and it’s the last day of work before I go off to Boston on the 6:58 AM train. We arrive there at 1:04 PM. Got some news about the Red Sox game. They moved up Sunday’s game to tomorrow night but they’ve left our game alone. That starts at 7:15. There’s a northeaster heading up the East Coast so the game may or may not be played, but we’re not sure. Anyhow, I started my day with an early a.m. AA meeting. Let the meeting in Mary came along with me, which was nice. She brought me a coffee. And then got the Mike’s and then headed to fix Mike’s phone and found out that my dentist appointment is actually at 9:30 but they said I could come anytime before 11:30 AM. I dropped off Mike’s Phone around 10:30 went straight to the dentist. They saw me and said that I’m healing nicely. I need to put in for a new appointment on January 4 20/2 seventh. They’re gonna put the post and and that’ll be another time of sensitive food and stuff like that. But I can eat spicy food now. I’ll stay away from the hard food like chips and pretzels. I then got back to Mike’s and was told his phone needed a new cord so we charge it for me and I picked up his phone. And then got back to Mike’s again and took an Uber to Millbourne. Picked up the remaining credit cards that were delivered. I talked to Pat for a little bit. Got my new Medicare card that hasthe exact same name so I’m not gonna fight the Social Security or the pension I’ve tried I reported everything and I’ve done the best I could. I got my global access card as well. I came back to Mike’s. Talk to Maryann and I’m getting ready to go to a 4 PM 90 minute class cause that’s how we roll when we get no sleep. Anyway, that’s it. It’s now 3:27 PM. I left Mike’s before 3:40 PM because I have a feeling Mary might be late and I need to get there on time or it’s close to being on time as possible. The clouds are starting to take over. I think we’ve seen our last son for the rest of the weekend with that nor Easter that I previously mentioned earlier in this writing. well, the 4 o’clock client had Shelly as a teacher. It was a diesel class. I was pretty tired. It was pretty hot, but Ithe studio about four minutes earlier than normal that really did help and I could just cruise in and get the mats, etc. Class was decent drink my share of water. I hope we can leave before 6:30 so I have time for a little bit of a nap before leading the meeting for CODA. Yes, and we are going to head back to the Dorchester, a place of gallantry food and fun. Well, got back and took a bunch of stuff out of my wallet that I really didn’t need to have in my wallet and put some in the lockbox and in that Medicare mama book. Then took a short nap which really was not enough, but it felt good. I got up to catch the seven bus and it’s running about 15 minutes late so it gave me plenty of time to wait for the bus and this is one of the few bus stops that has a nice bench to it.
