Tuesday, August 22: DAS HABE ICH GEFRAGT.

I woke up this morning not really wanting to wake up because 

I was dog tired. I feel like I’m kind of running on fumes even though I didn’t 

go to bed horribly late but anyhow, I got to Mike’s the usual 8:25 AM style. It was actually 

cold outside. I actually had to put on my California longsleeve shirt because it was, pretty

 cool was below 70°. I did a little sweeping up. Mike and I talked 

for a while. He’s distressed that a friend of his it was sent to the hospital because she is suffering Alzheimer’s, and wasn’t taking care of herself. She’s
known 

this woman for 30 years. So we found out where she was and we took the 40 bus to University of Pennsylvania hospital 34th and Spruce. Spruce Street was closed at 34th because the Penn students are moving in. We did 

eventually meet one of her nieces and the social worker. Denise was very nice. I chatted with her while Mike was talking to his friend. We then got back and 

his physical therapist came over and put him through some paces. 

Meanwhile I talked on the phone with a couple people . I finished up 

yesterday’s blog posting and got a lot of text messages. Pat and 

I are going to go to Massachusetts to pick up a motorcycle 

Saturday. That would be fun. It’s now 2:19 PM and I’m gonna go to 

the 4 o’clock yoga class today. it’s now 3:40 PM. I’m gonna do yoga, but I may just

 just go straight home and rest. That’s how I’m feeling right now because

 I’m a little tired. Anyhow, it’s a beautiful day it’s not hot it’s not humid it’s about a 

perfect day as you can get. I went to class and it was pretty good

 class, but it was difficult at times because how tired I was. I did go to the ACA meeting and I just listened part of me. Just wanted to go home right then and there. After Work, I said goodbye 

and then SEPTA acted up and took me an hour to get home because the train stopped and we had a board another train and it’s just after waiting 20 minutes 
at 30th St. after I got on the trolley and 18th St. I didn’t talk to the phone good night.

Friday, July 19: Sleeping In and Grinding @Work. Hitting Center City and Fairmount

I decided to sleep in because I was very very tired. If you’re good to sleep 

 n it. I had a weird dream but of course I completely forgot about it once I got a week. I was hoping to be able to get hot coffee before the day got really hot but alas I did not.

 I got to work on time and worked out cranking out my alerts. 

 here were so many of them. There’s a lot of chitchatting since it was Friday and it was payday. 

 oman sitting next to me and I left had to leave early to get her an actual tire rod fixed so she could go to AC. I 
myself might go to Millville. I’m not sure only because I’m being pressed for photograph duty that Larry’s. Well I did get all but about 10 alerts 
 one which is the best 

 osition I’ve been in since I got back home from vacation A little over 10 days ago.

  Now I need to start sanction people and writing an 
 verpayment or two or three. Well a lot of drama with discussed across from my desk. Makes me happier than single. Anyhow 
 work ended and I’m gonna meet my friend 

 t Fairmount for a meeting. I’ve ventured out in the 94° temperature that it is right now. Well, I went just found out to go to an Al-Anon meeting with a friend 

 f mine. We met at the OCF and talked for a while we then decided that we  could just skip the meeting and keep talking since it was much cooler in the OCF and 
we were on a roll. It was fun. I’m going to say that anxiety is no joke when you have it really bad. Anyhow I had the last of my Indian surprise. Larry asked me why I like Indian food so much. I just told him for me it’s comfort 

 ood like some people like cakes and pies and candy pasta and Indian man are mine. Some other people like candy 
or chocolate but I’m just different 

 han most. Well Lindsey Graham who once despise Trump and now his favorite lickspittle said Trump is not a racist he’s just a narcissist.   his is there were at now backhanded compliments to defend the indefensible. We 

 an make it till the end of his term but one more years of this dude being older andsicker   no thanks🤮 well,

 talking to my friend really help because I was helping her out and that helps me. As they say if you’re thinking about 

 omeone else if you can’t obsess about yourself the brain can’t do two things at once especially with that. Tomorrow supposed to be 100° that Ohta be interesting

Thursday, July 4: Independence Day and Folks Start Arriving

Hello you wayfarers out there. I slept a lot better on the air mattress 

 ast night. I first got up it was 9 o’clock but no sunlight was getting in. When I opened the door I almost went blind from the bright sunshine.

 As you know I’m sleeping in the garage area on the air mattress. It’s my private Idaho except in laundry needs to be done. Well we got up and 
 John made bacon and eggs with toast. It was pretty

 good. I then had a bowl of cereal cause I’m still hungry. After that we chilled out and did some

 karaoke which is very fun. I have videos of it but they probably

 most of them will not be released except maybe on private YouTube 

 ideos that only people who know the link and see. Even then I don’t know. 

 fter that I went to a meeting out in surf city. The rest of the meeting seem to be miles away. 

 t was good it was from living sober. I think got a list of meetings on the island 

 nd on the mainland. There’s one at 58th St. at the Trinity Church where 

Anton Thumb-hart used to be the pastor when I knew his son from 1980 to lifting

 garbage in ship bottom. Anyhow, I went to CVS and bought some of my juices for $.88 hooray! 

 I got some other things to get me by. Well, the social faux pas thing came back hopefully 

 hat’ll be the only one. There’s people coming up tonight I know my sister 

 nd her kids are coming up but I’m not sure who else. I then went to the beach but  couldn’t find John and Alex so I camped out on my own it’s beautiful today.

 I eventually found John and Alex. We hung out for a bit and then we came home. And chilled out for a little bit. I enjoyed my juices and Alex enjoyed them

 too. About 4:30 PM Alice and her two kids and Dave came over. We set our greetings and then went back to the beach. I didn’t go swimming because I didn’t feel like having to shower all 

 ver again. Alice really enjoyed the water. We then went back and I was looking on Twitter about help Paul much 

 f fail the yes the Trump Fourth of July event was. It was pouring rain there and I was

  cracking up I was loving it. John made up a really good dinner of chicken 

 eggie burgers and hamburgers. I had some chicken. It was a bit dry but it was tasty. At that point,

 your car is two friends from college her kids and their respective

 friends and girlfriends came over. It was truly a full house. They just all flown in from Newark  International airport one friend came from Germany and one came

 from Japan. And the kids came from the West Coast. After we ate we all went and watch the fireworks. I did 
my second faux pas the day which will remain on 

 isclosed. After that Alice and I started looking on Twitter #RevolutionaryWarAirportStories  on It Had to be the funniest thing I ever saw on Twitter in my entire life. There were mock stories  about revolutionary heroes 

 eing stuck at the airport or losing their baggage. Trump said in the speech that
 the army took over the ramparts in the 

 irports. Trump literally said that. I never seen anything so goddamn funny 

 n my life. It’s the only way I can deal with Trump is when he fucks up and then we can laugh. I have so many screenshots of Memes are

 you using them for a week at least.
