Sunday, February 8: frigid 🥶🥶

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 two couple 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.

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 talked about that. After class we hung out and then eventually I got Indian and we sang songs and watched Law and order. 

Friday, February 6: Cold 🥶 Mike @ 801 Locust. Yoga zzz

Hello ladies and gents of the blocking community. I know the community has gotten smaller with podcast and social media apps but here we are. Anyhow,I got up around 8:15 AM had cereal and headed out to Mike’s. I got there a little after nine might quickly got dressed and we caught an Uber to 801 Locust St.. We’re due there at 10 o’clock for an interview to see if you can get into senior housing or at least get on a list. They asked a lot of questions and he had to fill out an application. The application was filled out was “a pre-application.“ Anyhow, it went pretty smoothly, but the part with the credit and credit card payments didn’t go over that great but lady was very nice. We did get interrupted by a couple tenants asking questions. It was a pretty short ride about seven dollars plus tip to the place. Thankfully, it’s not super windy and cold like tomorrow is going to be. We got back and Nicole visited around 1 PM and went over his health concerns and like. And then finally finished yesterday‘s blog posting. It took forever to finish up. I justcouldn’t quite get it together, but I finally did finish it. Linda and Dave told us about this event at the Barnes foundation tonight which starts around 6 PM or 7 PM I don’t think either Mary and I have the energy to do that. I’ve been doing digestive some results so I’m a little low energy today. Anyhow, it’s 2:04 PM and I’m going to do some errands and buy some stuff for For Mike. Then I’m going to put some pictures on this blog and go to yoga at 4 PM. That is the plan for now. Anyhow, it’s 3:42 PM. I left Mike’s before 3:40 PM which was good so I don’t have to completely run to the studio like a banshee. Anyhow, it’s overcast.It’s not horribly cold yet but tomorrow supposed to be very cold and we have a new teacher for Fridays his name is Neil Perry. I don’t remember him honestly. Anyway, class is pretty good. There was no not that many people there and it took a little bit to get used to his cadences with the poses. 



Mary says we took a glass together, but I don’t remember him at all really then we got another indication that Miah is not gonna ever teach back at HYP. Not anytime in the near future that is. 

Thursday, February 5: Return to Elmwood District Yoga

Good day everyone out there in the Internet land. Did I woke up around 8:10 AM and had a quick bowl of cereal woke up Mary and then headed out to Mike’s. I brought all the materials at Marriott printed out and then Mike had a visit from Tony. Tony ran Mike through the paces and at the same time Penn called about Mike’s condition so while Tony is there Penn talk to Tony and Mike. They agreed that Mike’s doing a little better since the operation. Anyhow, after that, I showed Mike all the papers I brought in the folder and he sent me his rent history and we did find his Social Security award letter and we put in his birth certificate and a copy of the Social Security card we don’t have the original. Hopefully we can turn that in later and still keep a spot. And then I left to go to my old Supervisor‘s retirement party. She’s retiring as of today. Unfortunately, she was very late and I didn’t really get to hang out at the party unfortunately I had to split for my therapist appointmentwhich is at one so I’m gonna be about 15 to 20 minutes late which is not great but I just can’t not show up. Well, as I was leaving the retirement 

celebration, I heard from Mary and she slipped on black ice and fell on her back and head. She said she felt a little out of it and a little dizzy. I suggest that she go to urgent care and she did did go to urgent care they’re gonna see her today. I came back to Mike’s. We determined his appointment with 801 locus‘s at 10:00 AM not 11:00 AM. Some lady called Mike and he was just blabbing and blabbing and blabbing while I ate a very late lunch. Next thing you know it was time for me to leave Mike’s premises and sign out and run off the class. I am running a little bit later than I like. I didn’t put
any of the thermal underwear on, so hopefully I can get undressed fast enough. Mary still waiting to be seen by urgent care. It’s 3:45 PM andit’s cold but it’s not ridiculously cold. Well, I went to Shalice’s 4 o’clock class. I was in the back corner towards the window. It was a good class and I felt positive about how I did. Know what’s concernedabout Mary the whole time but I managed to do OK in the poses and modify when needed. I got a compliment from Tina. She said she had seen one of my poses that was nice. I’m gonna be getting smoothies for both of us since Mary is in the ER department because that’s what the urgent care suggested that you do. And if she didn’t go to the emergency room, they were going to have her sign a piece of paper saying that she refused so it’s now 5:45 PM she’s just seeing the doctor now I’m gonna walk to 10th and Sansom with two smoothies. I’m glad it’s not wickedly cold out. It’s now 27°, which isn’t terrible but a cold snap is coming through tomorrow and Saturday maybe into Sunday so I’ll have to wear the longjohns again. I postponed the cleaning woman from the 15th to March 1 cause I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to park at the meters near my house. We ended up bleeding at the emergency room and she was finally seen, but we didn’t leave till about 10:15 PM. It was a bit exhausting and strange that is loud heating generator on it just made all this noise. There was an angry homeless due to cause a little bit of trouble. Mary checked out OK no bleeding. She’s just told to take aspirin and Tylenol frequently for the next day and a half or so. We then ate some of the stuffed peppers. 🫑 they were quite delicious and both of us were really hungry after a long day especially for Mary. But I think she’s gonna be OK. Tell you this winter weather for the second half of January in February has been quite nasty. We’re supposed to get some really really windy temperature Saturday and into Sunday with a little dusting of snow on top of the stuff 

we already got. I can’t wait till spring.
