Wednesday, January 20: Mid-Wee Prelude

24th Street towards Farmount

Good morning all. It is a seasonable winter day here in Philadelphia. I managed to get up when I'm supposed to roll out of bed get some breakfast. I caught

Sunrise

the 7:08 AM 48 bus and went to my

Saxby's

sunrise. Dean was there and the speaker was somebody I know from group. Afterwords, I went with

Welcome to Saxby's

Wendy and Dean to Saxby's. Dean was giving his opinion on training that Wendy wants to go to. I've

been at the split so I'm not ridiculously late like I was yesterday. The day went pretty well and quiet. That is until the afternoon when I got a

sanction return back then the phone started ringing.

57th Street

The coup de grace is when they added us doing every overpayment for every rejection and

Fall On Me

termination. It's getting kind of ridiculous at the old welfare worker. I then left at 4:3opm form for my

Leaving my 1st Appt.

4:45 PM appointment. I did manage to get there and and I wasn't late. I waited for about a half hour

Starbucks @ 19th Street

and then was in and out 15 minutes. I then went to meet Christy and got her keys for the pet sitting

 

job that starts of all days on Saturday. As you know the huge thunderstorm, the 1st of the year

is coming & and the city is getting ready for it.

They're calling for about 12 inches. 10 to 12 inches down from the 12 to 18 we had heard earlier.

Well we had dinner of two waters that were half-price so it was really cheap. We talked about her dating experiences which was interesting.

22nd & Arch Store

After that I went to my therapist appointment that went through very well. I then got myself

It ARRIVES!!!

home and talk to Sharon for a little bit and proceeded to take out the trash as well. Overall the day

Corner of 22nd and Arch

Good Ole 1995

Hoping to do some guided meditation and we shall see what Saturday brings us.

Friday, July 4: Independence Day?

2nd Street EL Station

It's July 4 and I woke up any drowsy fog from being so exhausted. I went to the sunrise semester and salsa my didn't expect. He

Starbucks

shared and showed his true colors.  Orange is the shirt that he wore & and it was interesting. Afterwords, I hung out with a fellow

2nd and Market

and we hung out Rittenhouse Square and then he went on his way and I went back to Larry's

Pat's Cat

to feed the cat.

Around noon I was really exhausted and could not blog or do anything except lie down. I took a very intense snap into place I woke up thinking with Saturday morning at 8 o'clock

Dekota 

. I awoke to a windy crisp cool sunny day. It really felt like a different day outside. I then went to the shopper special which I haven't

Accident Near Pat's House

gone to in months and it was pretty good. I then decided I'd go to pats to take care of financial matters and say hello. I have not seen him in about a week and half.

Now this is the best part of the day thus far. Pat is doing a dog walking job now.

I'm at his house mellowing out. I will get a bite to eat play on the computer and then go hang out with a friend who invited me to watch the fireworks on her deck. 

Check this accident right near Pats house. It happened at 7 o'clock and was quite spectacular and nobody got hurt!!

is the best I've felt in two days right this moment at 8:19 PM. I did not go to my friend's house to see the Fireworks. The SEPTA Sunday Schedule and the effort was just too much for me to deal with. 

Saturday, June 28: A Hectic Saturday in My Life

View as I Got Up

Today is the last Saturday of June. I got up went to the men's meeting. I actually gave a nice coherent share today. I think it's a small meeting and page 417. Afterwords out with a couple guys talked about and culture busting on soccer is being the downfall

Kitchen Window

of American civilization. All I can she's got to consider the source. I was thinking of having breakfast with people from that meeting like I used to have but inside I go to the 10 at 10:

Saxby's Before Meeting

30 and meet up with Larry. Larry is not going to Delaware today. I also need to buy a hat because it is really sunny and I will get a sunburn

on my head if I don't. While I walk the 15th St. and catching the EL at 2nd & Market Streets. I ran into Larry. He went to Starbucks

Market Street Near 15th

and I went straight to the tenant 10:30 PM meeting since I already had a coffee. Is there a decent morning too.I then made it to Larry's we hung at his house for a bit. Larry

Words of Wisdom

then wanted to go to Penn's Landing and check the new pavilion that they have at Penn's Landing in the Christopher Columbus Museum

Near Christ Church in Old City Phila

area. There actually did something that's halfway interesting. I don't dig Penn's Landing in the middle of the summer. It's freaking too hot.

  I  sat

and watched Larry drive. Then I had to pick these "innovators" that they're pushing and then  some dumb ass questions. Made

10 bucks for about an hour's time:)Now I'm going to attempt to take the EL back to West Philly take a shower and then rent a zip car to go to Chestnut Hill for this art opening.

The Front of My Place

I lucked out and arrived at 44th and Chestnut just as the  21 was showing up. I was fortunate it had to stop and pick up a bunch of people. I am getting the closest ZipCar which is  at 30th St. Station. The closest one

The Zip Car at 30th Street

flowery it's really funny. Getting hair scout pain in my ass we go waggling around and Siri did not seem to want to be on time so I come

here and unwind. Well the trip to the art opening was kind of disturbing in a few ways. I'm not going to disclosing

The Woodmere Art Gallery on Germantown Ave

because this is an anonymous blog. Let's put it this way traffic jams, NO cigs,  misunderstandings, and bad attitudes abounded that's all I have to say. See my Facebook page for Dean's take on this moment in time.

Wes & Emily

I met up with Amy after she waits  an hour for me to come back to my place. It was mellow. We decided we take a walk and go to the percussion event on 40th and Walnut. They played Indian

drumming Spanish drumming and other sorts of percussion. It was very good. After that we walked to 42nd just not much of a couple beach and ordered
