Wednesday, August 26: Mike Breaks Phone. Yoga

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen of Philadelphia and Even beyond. It’s the middle of the week at the end of the month. I got up gathered up some yoga clothes at breakfast and went on my way. I showed up at Mike’s around 9 AM. His place is a bit of a mask. He was sitting in the bed and I tried to sort things out. Mike then told me his phone wouldn’t charge. He tried every cord in the book and couldn’t get it charged. At that point I ate some snacks like yogurt, a banana and some fig newtons cause I still was hungry after eating my breakfast. After I did all that Mike took a nap and I went to a phone repair store. It’s the place the same place as my Massage is located. Anyhow, there is a piece of metal lodged in the charging port. He pulled it out. The phone still wouldn’t charge so it’s either $60-$80 for a new charging port or get a new phone. This man breaks his phone more than any man in history anyway I decide to stop at Starbucks for a Break plus, he’s with an appointment online. It’s now 11:24 AM. Well, another famous 80 year-old died today. It’s not the 80 year-old we’d like to go. It was Tim Curry this time.  He’s famous for the Rocky Horror Picture show. Could we possibly be lucky and have the other one go? I have serious doubts. Anyhow, I was helping Mike call his Dr Shaby and realize I had 8% on my phone so I went down to Mary’s to pick up my cord and then when I arrived at the Dorchester, they had a fire alarm going. I thought about going to the Apple Store, walked halfway there and realized they don’t have lightning cables anymore for any phone older than the iPhone 15. I went back and the fire department wasn’t called so I knew I’d be OK. I ran into Mary and I hung out at her place while charging my phone up. She told me some information after she met with Linda for lunch. I then went back to Mike’s and on the way I left a message for Shelby and they called back and he has an appointment Friday at 2 PM. Tomorrow we try to get Mike’s new computer fixed. Friday I visit Social Security at 10:30 AM. Thank God I had no appointment with Hockenberry, today. Heading to Mary’s it’s almost 4:30 PM. Want to Mary’s got a 15 minute nap which was very nice. We then went to Dan’s 5:30 PM class and Ngozi Yin class. They’re both very good. We decided we do Indian tonight. Is that a pasta and it’s now 946 and ready to sit down and.

Tuesday, August 25: Phone Calls, Yoga, & Meetings

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, out there in the World Wide Web as they used to call it. Today, the last week of August is upon us in the next singing out it will be September where choir rehearsal starts, implants get put in my mouth and I go up to Fenway Park later in the month. Right now it’s phone calls today and Social Security Office Friday. As for today Went to a meeting at 7 AM this morning after the meeting Mary told me she’d bought me some coffee which was very nice of her to do it. She has to go to that place on her own. Anyhow, I had coffee we talked for a bit and then it was time for me to go to Mike’s and her to go to her PT. One of her last PT sessions since the insurance pays for about eight weeks. I got the Mike we talked for a moment. Did a little bit of cleanup around the house. We then took our walk. It was short because he either has the gout his bunny interacting up or it’s something else. His foot was kind of swollen. He had to do that card machine cause he hadn’t done it and in order came in for paper towels and other non-food items. I ended up having lunch calling Medicare about the easy pay program which you can apply for online but today is the 25th of the month and their servers were crashing because everybody’s paying their Medicare premiums. These are people who are holding off on Social Security and paying Medicare directly. I tried calling Delaware County the woman wouldn’t answer the phone. I then went to Fabio’s got Michael wireless mouse and now I’m going to CVS to pick up an order he already made. It was just flashed on the Internet that Dolly Parton died today at the age of 80 years old. Had no idea she was ill. Maybe it was a sudden illness maybe her PR team hid that fact for a while to protect her. Well I left Mike’s And headed down to Tina‘s 90 minute Bikram Hot Yoga Class. I got there a little before Mary got the stuff up and it was a good class today. It was consistently warm wasn’t like real hot and then cooled out same temperature the whole time. Went then came back from that class after we relax for a while and we went back to Mary’s and got ready to go to ACI. I had some applesauce and and brought a poppy. The ACA meeting was good tons of people there and we’d socialize afterwards, which is really cool and then we picked up some Indian.

Monday, August 24: Medicare Stuff. Yoga & Meeting

Good day everybody after sleep sleeping pretty well. I decided that moment I would sign up for a 75 minute massage because my shoulder and neck were really just beyond stiff. I scheduled a 10:30 AM class for Massage. I went to Mike’s did some cleanup and talked to him for a minute. We decided we walk when I got back from the massage. I really needed it. I went there with Brandon and he was very good.  He even had time in the 75 minute session to do my quads which really needed help. After that, I got back at lunch and we went out for a walk. That walk was really nice because it was a perfect day and Mike really enjoyed it and Even was taking pictures with his camera. That’s how much he seemed to enjoy it. Well after lunch, I took care of business with mother nature and then went over to meet Mary at the frame shop. And they didn’t have anything for us, but that was all right. I got a nice walk. I got to see Mario and we walked back and I got some drinks, including a Gatorade, which was helpful. After that I went to Mike’s did a little bit of cleanup and then lo and behold. I decided to call Edna about their Medical Medicare advantage plan that I’m gonna be enrolled in in November. Guy wasn’t great and got me all worked up and then it was time to go to class so I went to class and Kaitlyn taught it and it was fine. Wasn’t too humid. It was just about as good as you wanted in that studio. Well, after class, Mary and I came back to the Dorchester and I ran off to a meeting. Meeting was about gratitude and I was pretty tired throughout. Ended up being a business meeting. I found out they’re coming up with a new big book. They’re gonna remove one word from 464 patients in that word is “Eskimo.“ Plus half the stories as well you have more women a trans person, etc. And then came back and we enjoyed samosas that were given out at the studio.

Sunday August 23: Breakfast, Millbourne & Yoga

Today I got up around 10:30 AM. We decided we would go to the café for breakfast. We thought about getting a pedicure together, but we didn’t have time for all that. We went to the café and enjoyed our breakfast. I had something a little bit different, which was vegan and it was pretty good. We both decided to apply for global entry at the same time. There were two questions that were a little weird for me one about being arrested in One about whether I was in Nexus. If need be, I have the documentation of both of those issues, we’ll see what happens. Anyhow, after that I had to get going so I immediately went to the 22nd St. trolley to catch the market Frankfurt line to Millbourne. I’m picking up papers there. Found out after I got the trolley quickly, that market. Frankfurt line is running every 15 minutes due to track work in Melbourne, where they have to turn into one lane. Anyway, I waited about 11 minutes and then the train came when I got the Millbourne I had a whole truck full of mail. Most of it was important email there was only a little bit of junk mail. All the chunk mail was about the fact I’m become a Medicare recipient officially in November. So I just chucked all this out in the trashcan. I had a hard time finding my Social Security cards I ended up finding them they were in the piles that I developed. By that time it was 2:30 PM and I knew I had to hustle so I gave myself 10 more minutes so the alarm would go off, As I was gathering of my stuff, I spilled a little bit of poppy soda on the envelope, which had all the papers in it wasn’t a ton, but it was still scary. I dealt with that and then I was about to unlock the door and the alarm rang for the 10 minutes, so I almost forgot my phone. I forwarded the train and it did manage to show up on time. It’s now 2:57 PM and I’m at 46th St. I got back in time to pack up and go to Kaitlyn‘s 4 o’clock 90 minute class. Mary and I walked up and we were on the third floor today. It was a good class I like Kaitlyn‘s teaching. The room wasn’t quite as humid and bogus, which was nice. Afterwards, we had Yin Ian and sound healing with me and I was very good as well. I really like that. It goes well with doing a 90 minute class. We left class and had a delicious drink. This district was a naked body 2 quart bottle and we’ve both really enjoyed it. It fills up about five or 6 pint classes of this delicious stuff. And we ordered some Indian and we saw that the Phillies had a miraculous comeback against the Cardinals. They’re losing 4–0 in the bottom of the ninth end with two outs in a man on second and got six runs in 6–4. It was their ninth win in a row. I believe this as long as winning streak this season. Ever since they’ve played that field of dreams game they’ve been winning ever since. I organize some of my Medicare stuff. I have to call the state and make other calls cause I got some intense mail.
