Sunday, December 21: Visiting mom. 90 Minute Yoga.

Good morning. I got up at 8:00 AM cause I had scheduled the cleaning woman to come by my place at 9 AM. I was too tired to get up and go and try to catch the 21 so I just called Uber. I had a banana

before I left packed up my stuff in my bag, including Larry’s gift and went on my way. Uber came very quickly and I went back to 

my place 10 minutes before nine. I then decided to check in if the woman was coming and took a nap. Turns out I got up at 10:14 AM from my nap and the 

woman tried to call stating that she had completely forgotten to put me on the schedule. Oh well, what can I say? At least I got a nap and also I forgot to take out the cash that I would’ve


needed to pay for it so on the optimistic side, there’s one less expense right before the holidays. Anyhow, Dave called and he said he had to 

split right when I was coming so when I got off the bus, Dave picked me up and drove me from the bus stop to the entrance to the Riddle Village. I then saw mom in the wheelchair and went to 

the lunchroom and they’re very nice there and allowed me to sit with mom while she ate lunch so we hung out and had a nice lunch session and then


sent a picture to the Crowe family. Then I looked up and I could catch the bus or she’ll take me to the Wawa station and then I can catch the Wawa train directly to 30th St. so I can mail this letter to Larry.

It’s now 12:34 PM. It’s pretty cold outside the wind starting to kick up a little bit. Well, I ended up. I took my traditional way back towards Millbourne/30th St. station with the 111 bus and then the Market Frankford line. 

It got me there five or 10 minutes later but that’s all right I suppose. I dropped off the letter at the post office around 1:58 PM and heading

back to catch the EL back to Millbourne . I’m thinking about going to the 4 o’clock class but I wanna see how I feel first one reason is to just take the chill out of me. I am layered up and it’s kind 

of a weird cold. It’s not super frigid and it’s not super windy, but it’s cold and windy enough. Anyhow, I went home laid around for a little

less than an hour. Pat came home. We confirmed 6:30 PM to go out to the Copa Beach, which is still open, but not for long. They will be moving out 

of that location and some new building will be built in its place that whole block of Chestnut Street is completely been transformed. I am going to go to the 4 PM class with Kaitlyn it’s a 90 minute class. I’m hoping the train is not delayed too much. Well, I got like a the train showed up on time and I got there with a little extra five minutes to spare, which was nice. Katelynn was in a good mood and reached chitchatted now I went ahead and got dressed. Class was pretty full. she has a pretty dedicated people there at her Sunday class. Class went really well. I met up with Mary there. After class, we hung up for a little bit, Katelynn encouraged us to go to her Pilates class Tuesday night, but I don’t think we’re gonna be able to make it. Mary and I split our ways and I went back to Melbourne and she went home. Pat passed out so we didn’t get to hang out. Eagles did win the division on Saturday by beating the commanders and the Cowboys lost again. Hooray. By the way, I got my first Christmas present. Mike and Mary gave me a coffee mug with Nixon‘s mug on it. It was pretty funny. 😄

Saturday, December 20: Finished Christmas Shopping & Yoga


Good morning ladies and gents! Today is Saturday, December 20 in the year of our Lord 2025 A.D. D. Mary and I slept in and then 

I went went over to the post office to mail off final gifts to Alice sent to Mike’s wife Marie. Fortunately, there was not much of a line and also 

the pens worked. They have those nice little envelopes that are already Christmas oriented so I don’t have to wrap the presents per se. I finished so soon I got to the café before Mary did. I then realized but 

looking at yesterday‘s blog posting that I didn’t get anything for your car so I got some organic pet treats for their dog. I feel satisfied that I’m done now. I just have to wrap Dave and Debbie‘s gifts 

and Mary’s gift it’s at 12:10 PM. I’m finishing off yesterday‘s block posting and drinking coffee. The coffee is really settling in. Well I’m probably going to 

have another cup. I generally don’t have 2 cups cause I’m too busy eating and what not.  Well, we finished off breakfast, which was very delicious and we took our time and it was very relaxing. Anyway, went back to Mary’s

 at the Dorchester in chilled out for about an hour and a half, which was nice. We then got ourselves ready and went to Mia’s 4 o’clock class. It was a 90 minute version of Bikram Yoga and it was challenging 

because every 90 minute classes challenging especially challenging. This is because of my shoulder issues. It’s really a strain but I do 

do OK cause not pain. It’s just a strain. Anyhow, we hung out at the studio afterwards and and then we left. We decided to go to a couple stores and I got Larry and Veronica some gifts and Mary &. I 

bought matching Simpson‘s holiday T-shirts just for the fun of it. We were laughing and laughing. Went to Uno Loco and Old Navy. Old Navy has some fun shirts. I have to remember that next time. John already asked me if I’ve given him some weird gifts and I said “Nope yours will be late.” Most people will be getting their Christmas gifts late cause I just couldn’t get it together soon enough. After we finished our shot when 



we came back to the Dorchester and thawed out , the veggie burgers. While waiting, we looked at threads and saw some pretty hilarious things and news articles such as… A comedian took a domain name for Trump Kennedy Center.  Trump such an asshole named something 

after himself and he’s still alive. What a douche.!!  I love it,  that that Trump might've wanted. 😂 anyhow, I went to the convenience store and bought four iced teas for us
