Saturday, March 21: Massage, Mike’s Appt. & Yoga

After sleeping till about 9:15 AM, it’s time to get up and get a massage of my hamstring and other muscles in near my leg and gluteus maximus and my lower back. So I wobbled over downtown to 1518 Walnut St. It was gloriously sunny this morning it was a little cool, but it was very bright and sunny for the second day of spring. I went to the massage session. Oh my God I don’t know how sports athletes do what they do cause my hamstrings were just like tight as hell. That’s all I can say. It was a good session, but there were some parts that were so tight. Unbelievable. I talked to Mary and she wanted some coffee so I went to the Montreal spread baker bakery, and got some coffee for both of us and came back to her place within went hotel shopping in Anchorage and after about two hours, we found a place to stay that was reasonably priced for Alaska standards. Alaska is a very expensive place to go. Everything’s jacked up in the summer. I guess because they can’t do anything in the winter because it’s half of. It’s in the Arctic Circle. We then went to Mike’s and Mary help me make his bed. Was a lot easier having her around do it cause I was frustrated. And then picked up some garbage and and then we walked over to byron’s 4 o’clock class. That was a good class. It was on the third floor. Some of his yoga student students were there as well. It’s now 6:17 PM. . I left my phone in the Yoga studio unfortunately byron was there to answer the phone. I was able to get my phone. Next, we decided to go to Holland Trader Joe’s and get these bowls and my favorite is the Cuban style bowl. We bought about nine or 10 of them so it’ll be stocked. It looks like there’s a special Indian holiday so the Indian stores might be closed often on this coming week.

Friday, March 20: Music Lesson 🎼 Mike & Yoga

Greetings Kings and giants of industry. Today I woke up after a difficult night of sleep due to my right calf calf right by acting up but the Advil worked very well. That’s for sure. I called Mike and he’s not getting out today. He’ll be getting out probably after the weekend. You’re still draining fluid out of him. That was a relief because I had things to do. I first grab some money and got my haircut and took the Uber up to my music lesson because it was just a lot less stressful to do it that way then to take SEPTA so I went to the music lesson and that 45 minutes disappeared quite fast. It was very intense. It was a good lesson. I went ahead and paid her and then took the EL to Mike’s and couldn’t get the fitted sheets in because it was just too difficult I think washing the fitted sheet made it harder to do so. I called Mary and told her about the frustration and then she agreed she could help me tomorrow with it. Anyhow, I then went from Mike’s to Pennsylvania Hospital via Uber because I had to bring that stupid machine that monitors his fluid levels. When I got to the hospital, he still had too much fluid in him so they’re keeping them as I sit before. I then took an Uber to Mary’s and we’re going to call the travel agent it’s 2:08 PM. I either lost a super coffee. I left it at Mike’s. Maryann and I outlined our trip to Alaska. We’re gonna skip going to Homer and go straight to Fairbanks before going to Fairbanks, we’re going to a little town and then go to Denali and then Fairbanks and then drive straight back. We called the travel agent and we’re gonna go check the budget Rent-A-Car they have the best deal which is not a great deal, but everything is expensive and Alaska. We’re very much finding out.. Anyhow, we went to Kaitlyn‘s 4 PM yoga class and it was lightly attended but very good class. The room wasn’t as hot as usual, but it wasn’t bad either. My balance was off and I found out I was curling in my feet in the floor bowl that I wasn’t aware of. Anyhow, we finished up class. It got really crowded outside and it started spitting rain as the forecast is predicted. Any next thing you know that we were calling Royal Indian and found out after I’ve made a visit that Royal Indian is closed tonight randomly I don’t know how or why but it just is so we decided to go to curry leaf. The food wasn’t bad. We ended up watching two episodes of Law and order and confirm confirming our Rental Car so we got that done. We made an itinerary we have to share with the travel agent.

Thursday, March 19: Mike in Hospital. Errands Yoga & Meetings

Hi kids, I woke up this morning with a message from Mike that he had called the Emergency Department around 3️⃣ in the morning and was admitted later on for breathing problems. I decided that I had enough of dealing with Mike’s Apartment with the mold and mildew in the in the bathroom in the overall air quality in this room, which is not great. I told everybody that called me or I could report him being in the hospital. A year of this is not gonna work for him. Anyhow, I certified mailed the letter to PHA so he can get a senior apartment hopefully. Anyway, after I did that, I needed something to eat so I picked up a Gyro and 
 picked up his scripts. One of them is for intervenous diuretics because he’s not draining and supposedly his heart not draining. Fluids causes him not to be able to breathe. Anyhow, I almost forgot I had Rehab and had to take Uber to the Rehab to make it on time. I forgot my machine as well proportionate they had their own stimulus machine. Anyway, I left Rehab and caught the 29 bus. This driver did a really nice job avoiding a stupid car that parked on the corner. He barely missed it but he did miss it. That was a good driving job. I would’ve never gotten home if you had to scrape that car I’m gonna go to Mike’s and then head to Yoga. Well, I got the Mike’s and he had two packages and Mom’s Meals waiting picked up his scripts. One of them is for intervenous diuretics because he’s not draining and supposedly there. I also had to get the laundry. End up getting these food holders and it looks like he bought me an Apple cord and charger. I don’t know so anyway it’s 3:45 PM and I’m just hitting Spruce in 15th so I’m gonna have to really hustle to get the class on time. I made it to class in time, which was good! Charisse talked to Class and it went pretty well. I was much more stiff today. Then again yesterday was an exceptional day for my body. I went back to Mary’s and we took a nap and then I just headed out to the meeting. It starts at 8:15 PM.
