Thursday, February 19: first Day in Florida. At the Beach.

Today Maryann I woke up about 9:45 AM. We’re both very really tired. We just didn’t have the mental strength to cook up fresh eggs so we both had cereal. We kind of woke up and then got ready to go to beach. I always took us to blah blah blah beach. This place was pretty close and had parking. Went to the beach and just mostly hung out and talked. I talked about family matters and we just sit, sat and enjoyed the breeze in the sun. We didn’t go all the way in, but I did get my feet wet that was about all I could do today. Afterwards, Mary and I were really hungry so we decided that I’d leave the beach by around 2:30 and head to a Mexican place called Guadalajara. I’ve eaten there before, but I forgot what the place was like. Actually we drove there and order to each of us ordered a burrito and we got chips and salsa on the side. Both of us are very hungry. Larry and I are planning to go to a meeting at 6:30 so I wanted to make sure we both had the protein needed to get by to wake our brains up.

Wednesday, February 18: Off to Florida



Mary and I got up really early at 4:45 AM to finish up packing and eat our bagel and coffee that we bought yesterday. Actually, Mary bought it. We’re flying out the 
North Palm Beach 
Florida. Actually, West Palm Beach airport. Some assholes in Florida rename the Donald Trump airport. Goddamn that’s fucked up. Anyhow, we took the Uber and got to the airport and plenty of time to TSA was a breeze and then we sat and someone told us about the Navy seal museum in Vero Beach Florida. I don’t want to suggest that the Larry cause I don’t really wanna go to it so we’re about to launch. This plane is packed as usual. Larry will be Picking us up from the airport at 11:30 PM. Well, Us to West Palm Beach in plenty of time. We got really lucky we ran into Larry just as he’s approaching our terminal otherwise we’ve beenwaiting another half hour cause traffic is really bad at the airport. It’s pretty mild here but it’s not hot so that’s good. Mary and I went shopping with Larry at the Walmart
and got a whole bunch of stuff because boy we were hungry and tired. Mary got about two hours of sleep and I got like 3 1/2 hours of sleep. We bought allthis food and then came back and ate a tuna sandwich and I ate a whole bucket of yogurt, couple bananas, and a tuna sandwich. Bay Mary and I crashed for three hours which felt great. We got up and Veronica was in. We decided after. Had some dinner at Wendy’s and picked took it back home and watched some law and order CIN police squad movie, which was hilarious. It was a light line Nielsen that was funny and then watch Law and order CI. it was good to go into a nice warm weather. I mean, we really needed it. Warm weather badly. And I know Ray get a good 

nights sleep. Sleep is really important, especially when you haven’t had enough or you’re running on the adrenaline. Then it’s vital.

Tuesday, February 17: Mike at Hospital. Yoga & Choir

Good day everybody. Today Mary got up for two doctors appointments and I was able to sleep in till about 9:30 AM. That felt pretty good to sleep in.That’s for damn sure. I probably could’ve slept longer, but I got up and had the rest of a bagel that Mary had bought at Montreal spread bagel and I decided to go to Mike’s. I went to Mike and they opened up some packagesthat were already mailed to him and were sitting in the apartment. I had a super coffee and decided to do some blogging because I wentto Mike and they opened up some packages that were already mailed him and were sitting in the apartment. I had a super coffee and decided to do some blogging because I had to catch up from all theevents surrounding my Mom’s wedding. I didn’t decided I would take care of my Td bank business that I’ve been meaning to do for three or four days now. I went to the Td bank and found out everything was taken care of. I decided to apply for a new credit card, which would only be $1000 credit limit and I’d get 2% cash back on every purchase I did on the card so that might come in handy. Who knows as long as I pay off the card right away. That’s what I plan to do cause running a balance is scary especially at the interest rates they charge. I then walk to the hospital where Mike’s at and hung out with him for about an hour and a half. He was not getting out today at all. His new assessment is tomorrow. I mean I texted Amanda and told her that Mike wasn’t coming and I also turned in a timesheet from last Wednesday when I didn’t sign out Since I was busy at days and didn’t get back into the 

city till after 6 PM. After I finished with Mike, it was time to head back to his place and pick up my stuff for my 4 PM yoga class. It’s the next step is to get ready for Florida and to get up really early for the flight. The flight leaves a little after 8 AM tomorrow. Well, I made it for Tina‘s 4 PM 75 minute class. It was packed. She’s very popular and for good reason. It was very hot. In fact I got a little dizzy at the head and knee. I get that way when it’s really hot. The surprising thing was at the end of class when I got up. I got really dizzy, heading towards the place in the studio where you hang up the rented mats. I had to really walk slowly and take it easy. I think it was because I had sugar-free Gatorade from the studio. I also think still tired from this past week. Anyhow, Maryann and I left back for her placethrough a load of laundry and then I ran off to choir practice choir practice was fine. We sang from the one piece and the church was cold as hell. I’m so glad I brought a sweater. Mary Sue and I looked for windows to close we end up finding warm places in the nooks and creating of the second floor of the church. That was pretty fun. Anyhow, choir rehearsal landed with me being officially put into the together concert. I said to the woman “I just wanna be a in the program officially and shit.” Dan just cracked up when he heard that that made my evening. It’s 10:07 PM I’m just about to pick up Indian food after waiting in the restaurant. I did not mind since I got warmed up.
