Wednesday, September 25: My iPhone is Dying

After a really hard sleep, a.k.a. a good sleep. I got up and took my sweet time getting ready. I just couldn’t


 move very fast. Another two hours of sleep and I would probably feel pretty damn good. Anyway, got the Mike’s his physical 

therapist came over and tried to help him with his prescription problem that I described yesterday on this blog. Then I went to CVS and got Mike some

 food with his food stamp card and then I came back and had to go to my Genius Bar appointment while I was going to the Genius Bar appointment. I 

got an email from da Vinci saying they could not budge on the 10 x 10 requirement to Show my photo at this exhibit that’s coming up called perennial visions. I then went to my Genius Bar 
appointment I scheduled last Friday and to just to replace a battery ran

 a whole bunch of test and they said my face ID is failing and my cellular is failing. So I’m on theiPhone death 
watch. In other words, the battery will completely die, or I won’t be able
 to use Face ID, or worse comes to 



worse the sailor won’t work and I won’t have any connection with my phone so I’m gonna see if this iPhone can last one more year for
the iPhone 17 I really

 didn’t wanna buy the new phone but here I am getting pressure so I’m just gonna hope that the phone doesn’t die unexpectedly while away in another country or another state like 

last tim. Anyway, I met Mary at the framing studio. We got that issue resolved and then Mary and I just sat at the café and I bought some

 more coffee we wrapped and slapped and had a nice time. She let me her umbrella and I was walking home when my therapist sent me a text about our 2 o’clock 

appointment. I completely forgot about it so it’s now 215 and I’m walking 

through the drizzle in the sizzle to get to his appointment. 

Jesus Christmas just so much going on today. anyhow, I made the appointment and made the best out of it. I talked about stuff from my past such as why I didn’t wanna have children, etc. After

 that I went to Mike’s had a Pepsi mellowed out and then I had headed to Mary’s and got there around 4:25 PM. We both relaxed and took a quick nap which was really nice. Let me want to the 530 class with Dan and that was

 good. I was it was very humid in there and but I felt really flexible and strong today compared to other days. Well after class I had to hustle on out due to the fact I had


 a choir rehearsal at 7:00 PM. I literally left the studio with my shirt off so I wouldn’t make my shirt wet from sweat from sweating so I 

did that got there around 15 minutes late, but there wasn’t a big deal. Rehearsal was intense but positive. We have to memorize this thing with 22 rehearsals

 that’s it and the second one is the dress rehearsal. I didn’t have Spotify, but I was shown how to find the movements on YouTube so it’s on my YouTube history 

so I’ll just have to play them over and over again because yikes the second movement we do is a lot to memorize the first one isn’t too bad. I left around 9:35 PM and looks like the academy 
of music was letting people out of a show. It was an interesting day I must say. The big task is memorizing that music in the next 2 1/2 three weeks.

Saturday, January 6: Choir Practice and My Brother Mike

I did sleep pretty well last night I must say I got up around eight about 9 AM this 

morning still nursing the cold that I’ve been fighting the whole week since I got back from Long Beach Island on that stupid electric vehicle, the Chevy volt. 

Anyhow, I got a new delivery of super coffee and another bogus style package

 which feels cheap but that’s what they’re going with. Anyhow,

 today we got the first bit of snow this winter. There’s absolutely no accumulation 

and it’s all gonna turn to rain anyway it’s just gray and yucky

 outside. It’s 1253. I’m at 13th and Walnut going at 2/13 and Spruce

 for the PVOP choir rehearsal. it’s new 2:26 PM. We have a five minute break during practice at 



around 2 o’clock. We got the latest from Mary about Mike situation. It’s really 

complicated and he’s not coming home for the weekend



 so I don’t know what the Hecks going on. I’m feeling OK. Pizza break 

at 3 o’clock that’s all I can say. The pizza arrived late, but it tasted 


So good. Anyhow, I chowed down three slices and finished off my super coffee. When I let exited the choir office, it was nasty and rainy and crappy. So when I stopped at the 

Dorchester, I kind of sat for about 15 minutesto dry off. Now about 7:00 PM I got the Mary’s and she is very nice and offered to dry off my 

pants, socks and hat which were pretty wet from this shitty rain that we’re having. I’m feeling closer to normal and Mary’s feeling herself and I’m gonna have some tea soon. I also 

tried on these hiking shoes that I’m gonna use when I go to Costa Rican  Starting January 14. I’m looking forward to it. Alice talk to me the prognosis for Mike isn’t really great because the cancer has spread. I’m
 enjoying my company with Mary and probably stay there till about nine or 8:30 PM because I still wanna go to bed get home at an  
early hour and stuff choir practice wasn’t bad at all. I left Mary’s around 9:45 PM and took an Uber because the weather was so gross and I didn’t want to get wet again
