Thursday, May 21: Cool w/Rain. Yoga. End of Stephen Colbert.

Greetings earthlings of all shape sizes and crates. Today is Thursday, May 21 a much cooler day than the last three days. The temperature dropped about 30° from 93 to 63°. I didn’t know what to wear so I decided not to bring my jacket which wasn’t a really great idea but I made it through because the rain wasn’t a heavy rain thank God so I stayed dry. That was a good thing thank God for that well did a couple errands for Mike, got the key for the Mail person and did a load of Mike’s laundry. I even found two articles of clothing that were. Are missing and that was interesting. One was underwear and one was a red shirt I think it’s his. We made arrangements for Kaitlyn to take pictures of us for during tomorrow’s yoga class to share with Byron so he can do a feature on us. That’s been a long time coming anyhow, I’m not gonna go to Pat like I thought maybe I would so Sunday will be skipping yoga class. Mary saw that there was no  Saturday Or Sunday 4 PM classes which was very interesting. it’s now 3:32 PM it’s time for me to pack up and get ready for 4 PM Class. We have a guest teacher tonight. Chalise is not gonna be in. This is why we had to plan for Katelynn for tomorrow night’s class at four. Anyhow, I don’t think it’s raining thank God Mary offered to bring my coat with her when she goes to class. Anyhow, the raw blood test came back and everything was in the range of normal except for the parts where I need more protein. They were a little bit low. But everything else seemed to be OK. I’ll wait for the doctor to contact me Dr. Stillman that is. The ones that the neurologist tested me for I think I came out fine. well, of course I’m gonna ask questions and inquire about my protein needs. I seem to have plenty of magnesium in my system so but anyway it’s all looks pretty good. Everything’s within the range of normal. Anyhow. I went to 4 PM class and Denise Debbie taught the meeting since Lisa is at a competition and it was really humid in there in that room. I dare say it was tougher than yesterday even though yesterday was 94°. Today was only about 63°. Anyway, I did OK I did struggle a little bit plan is for me to go to the CODA meeting and I did go and it was the third step meeting but before I went to the meeting Mary and  I took a nap and that was 40 minutes of bliss just crashing out for a little bit. It always feels good to nap with her.

Wednesday, May 20: Hot!🥵 Blood Test, Yoga & Yin

Well, this morning I got up after pretty good night sleep and headed on down to Mike’s without eating because I have a blood test today and I was determined to get it done today. So I went to Mike’s didn’t go right to the blood test because waiting for the PT to shop while she was of course late cause they always are. She had a good excuse. She had traffic problems. They’re always traffic problems here in Lombard. Parking is very difficult. She showed up and then I walked all the way down to get to LabCorp to get my blood test done. The weight wasn’t too bad you have to sign in with a computer and buzzing your insurance card and drivers license and then they see you they don’t have anybody sitting at the front desk. When I got there, it’s only one woman working and she said all the other three are in the back. It’s they got a pretty good system. I must say the woman did my blood. it didn’t hurt too bad, but I’m glad they needle went out when it did cause it was starting to sting a tiny bit now I know it might go through with him infusion, where he has to think stuck up his arm for almost a half hour. Anyway, after that I got to Mike’s and the nurse called saying she’d be there at 1512 and 1230. Well, you know how that is she didn’t show up till 1:22 PM because that’s what they do. They can’t be on time because I gotta travel. After that, I went to my therapist and then came back and getting ready to leave now it’s 3:42 PM. I go to a late class hopefully I can get a nap in. This is the last warm day of the week. Well, damn supposed to teach Class, but guess what one of the recent graduates from Hot Yoga training was Virgil and Virgil to Class and everybody applauded earlier another trainie had thought a 4 o’clock class. I believe that was Anne Cozy. Virgil had a very quiet voice and the class was packed. I mean packed! I’m barely got a spot in, but I did and that was good. Afterwards, we stopped by for a smoothie cause we’re both very thirsty we just and why we’re in the studio Cooper had three extra samosas laying around and we took those. We ended up having them for dinner instead of Indian, which was nice. Also, we met a new guy who was gonna newly join the class and he really liked the yin. We went and watched a bunch of Stephen Colbert stuff because this is his last week on the air.  In fact tomorrow, May 21 is his last day on air because CVS under pressure from the Trump he canceled the show last year. But I can get a little better sleep tonight. We’ll find out the results of the blood test probably by Friday.
