Saturday, January 4: Choir, Yoga and Cold 🥶

This morning, I got up @ Rittenhouse Square and had breakfast. It was then decided I would go to the place that Dave Domino went


to for a haircut which is right on along 20th St. between Locust and Walnut. I thought it would be closer to $20 for a haircut but it was $40. anyhow, I got a 

lot of my hair cut off and I found myself really really really hungry. Mary then made me bacon and eggs with toast and it was very very good. I enjoyed 

it. It was scrumptious and it filled me up just right. I weighed myself before chowing down. I was 169 pounds which is about as late as I’ve been. 

So I did manage to burn off all the Christmas food.It’s now 1:10 PM. We’re just about to start choir practice. Well, it’s 2:53 PM. We’re halfway 
done practice. I’m gonna have to hightail it out early to make it 

to the class by four. It’s a 10 minute walk, but I have to allow myself time to change

 and all that mess. It’s going to be a tight squeeze. I left choir and 

gave myself plenty of time which was good. Class was pretty crowded, but I got there and Mary got my clothes done so it was a good class today wasn’t boiling hot. I did something to my neck and it didn’t get in my way to poses, but it was a hindrance for sure.

Friday, January 3: End of Holiday Season

Hi today is Friday and after sleeping really intensely and hard I got a really groggy, but I didn’t take any sleep at all. I just wanted to sleep.

Anyway, I got up remembered to bring supplies and my choir folder for Saturday’s rehearsal. By the way tomorrow is Saturday. I can’t even believe it. My days


 are all little screwy. You know because the holidays, etc. Mike had a nurse come in and she was there for quite some time. Asking all kinds of questions and ask him why he doesn’t follow

 up on what the people tell him to do and Mike just has a way of talking he can sort of just acknowledged he’s not doing it but not get defensive either. Anyhow, it’s very 



cold outside and I prepare for it by bringing an extra layer with me when I got to work. I got there late. None of the buses ran till I got to Broad and Spruce. Anyhow, I arrived at the worst time at the 

pharmacy when they’re closed for lunch and they all eat at once behind the curtain and see if of 

us wanting drugs. Well, anyway, I did Mike’s laundry and I talked to Larry and I’m starting to piece together


my winter vacation spells because I’m such a man of travel and leisure. Anyhow, the tentative



 plan is to leave January 30 and make it a long weekend in Florida so I only miss 



one day of work. That shouldn’t upset the Apple Card too much 

and then we can planthe more extensive expensive trip to Jacksonville going to 

Newberry Florida for the yoga experience at Newberry yoga. South 337. Mary &  I decided we would just go to the 530 class. Give me more time to sign out since I was late and give her time to feel better 

from her stomach. Anyhow, I stopped at Mary’s for a little bit rested. Looks

 like I’m gonna have to eventually change my thermos because well it’s leaking persistently. I also misplaced my shorts. I think it’s fortunate. I have the extra pair so it has

 snow flurries and I’m heading to the 530 class. Well, that 530 class with Byron was very much packed. It was the

 happy hour so we had music going on. It It was a very good class. I enjoyed
 it. Just had enough room. I saw Inez there. I sent her my hello and that was about it. After class, some guy said that they talked about me being
ripped. It was pretty funny. I must say. And then head over to the Indian restaurant and the store where I got two iced tea and a Pepsi for myself and dinner. It’s almost 8 o’clock right now.

Thursday, January 2: Winter is Here 🥶

Good day everybody is now 11:40 AM. I woke up at the Dorchester had some cereal and sprinted on down to Mike’s where I made it pretty
close

 to being on time about five or six minutes late. I got myself a new contact person from the agency I now currently employed. Anyhow, Mike had   2️⃣ visits today

 the physical therapist and the occupational therapist. They noted Mike was a little bit weaker and that any kind of exercise is fine. I overheard Tony say 

that Mike’s heart rate is low actually hit the 40s. He’s gonna keep an eye on it. 
Meanwhile, I started getting a little bit nauseous. 

Mary called and wanted to meet for coffee so I’m at thesupreme coffee at 15th and Pine creating this blog with 10% battery life because I forgot to charge

 it ahead of time. Well, Mary bought me some lemonade and she had some coffee

and we sat and talked for a little while that was nice. I think get back to Mike’s and did a couple things


well, as I was leaving Mike’s, I forgot all about all about the mom’s meals. It comes on Thursdays and there was a Mom’s Meals 📦 waiting so I had to 

run back in like a little bit to the sea. They also have my shift showing up at 8:45 to 345. I guess I’ll keep quiet about that as long 

as they pay me the 7️⃣ hours. Winner is really here I mean, I always talk about at least it’s not windy, but it is windy so which it makes it feel extra cold. Well, I went

 to class at 4 PM and I felt pretty good. Mary had to leave early from class but she’s OK. 

We hung out and relax and then numb. 
I walked down to JFK Boulevard and caught the 49 bus waited 10 minutes 

longer than I wanted, but it was all right went to the meeting where we did six and then caught the 49 bus on the way home.
