Tuesday, February 10: Prepping for Funeral

Good day everybody this is Mark speaking. I woke up after being late ordering prints and what not. I picked up the print. Anyway I got the Mike’s signed in found out. He was going to get cut off from medical assistance then we started prepping to appeal the decision before February 16. I then had to go ahead and pick up the prints and go to bleak printing to take care of that. Mary was very helpful. She guided me over 
the phone and I called her on Facebook messenger. And that worked out pretty well. I then went back to her place dropped off the Material and then eat lunch and walk back to Mike’s but before then I went to CVS to pick up some stuff there. The pharmacy doesn’t take buying groceries. You’re only buy 2️⃣ items at once which is pretty bogus. So it looks like the funeral service is Saturday and then the burial is going to be Monday. I still am going to do yoga hopefullyI’ll get a little more sleep, which would be really really good. OK got back to Mike’s. Went out to get outside for a moment and came back and 
signed out. I also wrote to the agency that I was not coming into work next Monday due to the burial. I ended up going to Tina‘s 4 o’clock class. I’m really pleased. She teaches 4 o’clock class. To me it makes up a little bit for the fact that Miah is no longer with the studio. Mary took the night off because she had a migraine headache. I left the studio and my goodness it feels mild compared the way it was. I gotta be at acquired at seven and I just could not get moving out of the studio after the class.Class was good. It was really toasty. I eventually walked home after doing a little hustling and hung out with Mary and charged up my phone. I didn’t have to leave fairly quickly because their tolerance for being late is lesser this time around. Mary went to her meeting. I got the Choir on time. I was signed
into the Choir Genius program even though the app didn’t work. I got my music replaced for the version from 2024. My version was from 2013. The piece is called “a man at war.“ It’s a very interesting piecemust say. People had a lot of technical questions about the piece and we’re moving out a brisk pace because our show is in April really a short semester. There’s a together concert on March 1 which I plan to attend. Anyhow, I left Choir and picked up my food at Royal Indian around 10:00 PM. Mary and I then watched a really good law and order episode. It was quite enjoyable. We then crashed around midnight. 

Sunday, July 21: Joe Biden drops out of presidential race!

After a decent night sleep I got up and tried to organize my place a 

little bit before the cleaning lady came in and ended up spending time in my bathroom closet

 trying to organize the mess that was in there. I found out I had plenty of blades enough 

toothpaste to last me a year and a half and enough body wash the last me at this rate 4️⃣  years.      I threw a bunch of ax bodies stuff out and a bunch of other things that 
I just wasn’t using. I have enough appointments in any itch cream to 

get me by and plenty of Listerine. Anyway, after that, I caught the 110 bus

 to get to my mom’s by 11:30 PM found out lunch starts at 11:30 PM. I told them to tell my mom that 
I’m coming. Anyhow, I visited and went out for a walk. Went for a walk and that 

was good and then she started getting dizzy and said she didn’t want 

lunch so I told the front desk and I told another lady. That she’s having dizzy

 spells then I waited for the bus for a while and that took me to Wawa. I cruised

 on Wawa station and I was just about to get   off of suburban station, when I 
heard about this. Joe Biden drops out of 2024 race amid growing pressure from top Democrats! I say what the actual fuck! I sent this article to my family and my friends 


and my newsfeeds blowing up like crazy. It’s now 2:26 PM. This happened around 1:46 PM. I talked to Alice for 15 minutes and then my phone died. She is apoplectic
and so am I.

 My brother John said I was acting like a Trumper because the New York Times

 can’t be trusted. He obviously isn’t Understanding what the New York Times is 

doing Alice encourage me not to respond so I put a little sticker on. Anyway, I’m at the hallway of the 

Dorchester charging my phone. I’m gonna go up to Mary soon 

but she’s looking for documents and I figured I wouldn’t show up too early. It’s very hot and very weird . I just got to Mary’s and just got a call that Mary’s mom just died today. It’s now 3:15 pm. We still plan to go to the Pilates class. Mary 
talked to her family and they suggested that she continue with her day. So we needed to take Lyft because we missed the one bus that we get us to the yoga studio on time. The studio is called Hot Power Yoga. It’s @ 1155 S. 20th St. It’s a brand new studio. It’s very brand new. They have no shower however. The class was full since studio is pretty small. It was all female except for me and they’re all like 25 years old. anyhow it was a good class. It was very warm but not stifling warm. Heating is less humid oriented. After we walked back was a nice day outside then we decided to go to the taco place we used to go to. We saw each other and that was fine. She actually had alcohol for the first time since I met her, which is understandable considering that her mom just died. After that, we watched order CI  and watched MSNBC looked really unhappy compared to the giddy look on the other peoples faces. It was a bizarre site. I didn’t called to 21 to go home and end this very strange day. 

Saturday, May 4: Sleeping in Yoga and A Day Off

Well, I got it from around 9:45 AM thinking I had a 10:30 AM class

 but that was the other studio. My real class is at 11:30 so I ended up turning around and going back to Bob’s eating a little breakfast
pear juice and downloading the pictures from Kuchh yesterday.Bob was thinking we might go to Harlem, but we’re going to play it by ear today. Well, the class

 was good.  It was a good class. I did a little bit better on my stiff leg today. When I got home, Bob Russell up this egg with 
beans and vegetables and spices goddamn, it was good. This man

 can really cook!! It’s 230 our time and Bob just found out his mom just died today. So he has to fly out as soon as possible anytime between later tonight sometime tomorrow. Anyhow, I just laid around and caught up with my blogging as I said 

before and I decided to get another massage just to see if I can arrest my 

tendon problem before it gets bad today. It was a little bit better during class. I 

just got to keep an eye on that thing. It’s now 735. I think we’re going to 

go some kind of remembrance thing if Bob still up for it. Well, I decided to get a 

massage and got back about five minutes late. Bob and Lisa already

 left for the remembrance day ceremony so I went ahead and met them there. It was very somber and The weather reflected this somber mood. It was drizzly 

and. cloudy outside. I recorded some speeches and reads being placed.I filmed a little bit of it to get a flavor of it. After that we went to Bob’s Favorite 

bar and I had this cola which was pretty good actually is very cola like not very 



fizzy and it was a diet as well. We hung out there and it was really 

pouring rain outside so we got back. I finished my leftover chicken vindaloo

 us some pie that he bought. It was really good pie and he had whipped

 cream as well. I got in touch with Mary and we talked for a little bit. She was 

getting ready to fly from California back to Philly overnight. the Phillies smother SanFrancisco  & now the Phillies are in first place over the Braves.
