Saturday, December 14: Yoga, Posture, Class, and food

This morning we got up at 9:30 AM because we have an 11 o’clock hot yoga class and then right after that posture class with Zane. So we had a quick

 breakfast got dressed and went down to Hot Yoga , Philadelphia for things 75 minute class. I was very stiff Because that’s how I am in the mornings 

with my postures. Class was good though it’s nice being taught by someone different every so often. Things are pretty skilled

 instructor that’s for sure. I found I didn’t eat enough for breakfast but made it. I did OK. Next came out 30 minute break between the ending of class and the beginning of the posture clinic. Mary 

and I went to Marathon diner and got ourselves a green monster smoothie. That was very tasty for sure. I also took a quick shower at the studio and got ready for the posture class. That posture

 class was very informative. She taught us to think about the connections between different postures
and how some of them linked directly 

to each other. Everything is based on the core/abdomen abs. We got classroom style instruction, but we also were able to demonstrate poses and watching in real

 time as she Made modifications and gave us pointers on what I should do and what other should do. I got very stiff because the room wasn’t hot and we were doing a lot of sitting I loosened up, 

however when we did a few posts and she helped me with one particular pose in which reach for your feet and hinge your head down towards the ground. She encouraged me to use my hands to 

hang onto my toes to start, which was good advice in my opinion. Next to after this class, we showered up and 
went to the formally vegan Chinese restaurant, which is right around the corner from the studio. Merry first got a coffee at the Starbucks the 16th and Chestnut. I was so hungry that food hit the spot. I had Topher 

with curry and it was spicy. I enjoyed that and that’s for damn sure.  It’s now 6:11 PM Mary starting to prep the vegetarian chili and I went to the corner 

store around the block and got two bottles of seltzer and a Pepsi for myself. I relaxed in my seat well, Mary prepared the vegetarian chili. She got low black 

beans and I went around the corner at a place called food and friends, and got a couple cans of black beans to fill out the stock pot of vegetarian chili! Well, we ended up watching 

a Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall movie called to have and have not. It was kind of the same plot as Casablanca. There was a bar where everybody hung out exotic music and a love interest and   World War II. It was entertaining. It’s funny so how some of the same actors are in both movies. It’s bogus and Baca.

Saturday, April 22: A Visit and Yoga

Well, after staying up late, doing taxes and stuff I woke up at 8 AM 
since Pat was dropping off his dog while he was shopping for a new Harley. He’s exchanging an older Harley Davidson for a new one at this place way up in Northeast Philly. I’ve been there before it’s pretty far up there. The 

dogs a bit fidgety first but mellowed out and I napped on the futon for a while. really the dog was no trouble. As long as I stood still and didn’t go anywhere is fine I got picked up at Donna to go to the sketch club to see my 

photographs. It was a beautiful sunny day in Center City Philadelphia. Our orc was very well done at for sure.  I took pictures of the various pieces of art until my artwork. That was cool. It was very

 hot in that building. Afterwords we got a quick cuppa coffee and I was dropped off at the studio. Got a half hour to Carolyn I talked on the phone for a while right before class. I decided to go to both classes.  You can nitro is Todd bye a different 

instructor. A lot of people were there. We use the large room on top floor fourth floor that is. It was very nice. I then decided to go to the Chinese restaurant near the studio and ordered some curry 

potato, etc. the same thing I ordered a bottom month ago. I was very hungry. Turns out I ended up leaving my backpack 

at the restaurant. I called the restaurant and they confirmed it. That was quite a relief

 because I had bunch of clothes in there, etc. And I just started used

 backpack this last past week. So tomorrow I got to pick it up around 11 AM to 11:30 AM one at Mike’s.

Tuesday, March 12: Chilly March Day of Educational corruption

I  woke up with the intent to be on time for the sunrise this morning 

 ut my shower took a lot longer than I thought and I was late. It was OK. Went to sunrise and really inspirational gentleman was leading the meeting. There is also some discussion 
about the woman who is really really smells bad. The 

 roup is trying to find help for her. Anyhow I went to work and I saw about 5 people. I fortunately  only had to do one carfare. Another person walked in without an appointment but 

 hat was OK at least I got them out of the way. Indeed I worked pretty hard today I must say. I did not get my overpayment done. I didn’t really expect to get them done since I did get a new alerts today. I got all of them done except for 2 of them so 

 hat’s a good thing. I then postponed my doctors appointment to sure that I make it to Fairmount

 on time. I now have the appointment at 10:30 AM tomorrow. Anyhow I left work and headed

 to Fairmount found out that neither Wes nor Jen were showing up. I’m 🤔 not sure 

 here the misunderstanding came from but I went
 to a meeting and got applause and it was very nice to heaFrom the folks at the clubhouse. I then got an invite to get Chinese with Joe. He would then 
 take-out after the men’s 

 eeting. I was happy. I did see Wes. The men’s meeting was good except I was so damn tired I couldn’t stay awake. I then went to 60th St. picked up Chinese food with Joe to chow

 down. We tried to watch a show but the Internet was going down. It was one of those

 “originals.“ it was about a man from England with this Irish wife who moved to

 Western Canada such as Alberta. Then a big oil companies going to come in and fuck up the town. That’s what I got before 

 he Internet went down. I then chow down and then went to bed. I continued to fight off the fight off my negative thinking and cynicism and all that crap. But I’m overall doing OK.What can I say I’ve been doing this blog for many years now one day I’m just gonna get tired of this just like I get tired of other stuff I suppose but I’m still trucking on
