Tuesday, July 21: housing Appls. for Mike. Errands and Yoga.

Hello everyone, this is Mark reporting on a Tuesday in mid July. I got the Mike’s OK after waking up and having very intense dreams. I got up had my cereal got to Mike’s around 8:45 AM. When I got to Mike’s, he said he was kind of tired because he didn’t really sleep all that well due to taking his diuretic slate and waking up all the time to answer the call. Anyway, well, the nurse that followed Nichole around came. Nichole was gonna come, but then she decided she wouldn’t come so I guess I will not be seeing her much anymore.I sat around and then I figured I might as well get started on filling out housing applications for Mike. I decided to do it and went ahead and did it. You know those applications were long and drawn out. They want everything but your fingerprints and the name of your youngest aunt. Anyhow, after I filled them all out and had Mike sign them I realized that. That I didn’t have enough of his drivers license. Two out of the three applications required a copy of their social drivers license. I realized I had to go to Staples copy the documents and then run over to the post office and get them mailed out. It’s a lot easier to just go to the post office then try to figure out how many stamps you need. When I got to the post office, I was really lucky there was really no line. The postage was about $2.51.. turns out the café close at three the kitchen staff runs off exactly at three and I couldn’t pick up the food so I walked all the way to 20th and Sansom for absolutely NOTHING! Yeah, it’s not fun in humidity. It’s twice as humid as it was yesterday. So I’ll go back to Mike’s arrive there around three finish off this Blog put away the IDs and try to unwinding drink something.

Monday, July 20: Sunny🌞 Mike’s Appt. Yoga.

Well, good morning everyone in Internet land. It is a beautiful sunny Monday here in the city of brotherly love known to Philadelphia. I got up after a pretty good night sleep and ate a quick breakfast of cereal and then Chuck on down to Mike’s place a little bit late. Mike’s appointment was scheduled at Perlman center. They shoved all his x-ray and blood test at the permit center way out in West philly, which you know is ridiculous considering Mike tried to schedule in Center city in the automatically shoved them out here. So he was seemed fairly quickly by the blood test person and then we went upstairs to radiology in their sleek building and God his wreck his x-ray person was pretty quick as well. We’re now outside at the Pearlman center waiting for the rideshare service to come. You’re supposed to be here around 1:30 and Mike’s trying to double check that with the rideshare phone number which has go through his automated person and it’s really hard to get a hold of a human once you get a hold of the humans they’ve been pretty helpful so we wait here. It’s now 1:18 PM. Plus now 1:47 PM we just got picked up by the Uber driver at Pearlman center entrance is such a zoo. But we got out so we’re all good right now. Next is settling at Mike’s eventually and then get ready for yoga. Well, it’s 3:00 PM. I’m going to CVS to pick up a large diet Pepsi with crackers that he bought with the rest of his money. It’s getting a little warmer, but it was really mild and not humid. Very pleasant Summer day today. It’s like yesterday but tomorrow it’s going to rain. I talked to Mary and we discussed various things including where to find a food bank for Mike cause he’s really low on food. Some asshole stole his food stamp card numbers and welfare will not replace the food stamps. It’s now 3:38 PM. I’m just heading out now to the studio for 75 minute class with byron. Hopefully thesis will be available. I think Dan been on vacation and he’s been delivering them every Monday. Anyhow, I got to byron 4 PM classes the studio and no there were no samosas available today. I was told by Cooper that they’ve been delivering them on Tuesdays in the last few weeks. Yes I was away for a while so I didn’t really realize that information. Went to Class and it was a good class. It wasn’t nearly as hot and nasty as it had been. Bank corrected me once or twice and he said I did a good job on one other pose. After we hung out at the studio for a while as people were filing into Pilates and said hi to a few people. We left the studio and headed on down to Mary’s place and then I had I went to a MONDAY Night Beginners meeting. After that mean, we watched two episodes of Law and order.
