Tuesday, July 28: Medicare Prep, Mike’s, Achy, and Yoga

Good day, ladies and gentlemen of the faith, and not of the faith who have faith in whatever they believe. Today is Tuesday and it’s one of these cloudy humid days that will present itself in rain. I got Upper extra Early along with Mary and she had to go to the doctors appointment at 9:45 AM and I of course had to go to Mike’s. Anyhow, I got to Mike’s and did a little bit of cleanup and then the nurse came. about that time, I was calling Medicare and the PEBTF from the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania. I looked up my SSA account and ask the PEBTF how my name was spelled out and it only has the middle initials so I made an appointment with Social Security on Friday, August 28. Yes, it’s a month from now but that’s the best I could do. I’m basically going to go back to Millbourne pick up the Social Security card that has the full middle name on it and turn it in so there’s no freaking problems with getting my check when I decide to receive it. Anyway, August 5 is the magical day. I attempt to apply for Medicare and hopefully that’ll that’ll work out smoothly. After that, I decided to eat lunch and take a walk with Mike so after lunch, I walked with Mike and enjoy that Samosa for lunch for sure. The walk went OK. He walked further than he has in a long time which was good. After that, I just thought I’d return his housing interest form to the John Fox Towers and I did and I got a copy of the form with a stamp on it so that’s good. Well top 2:50 PM I’m getting close to the CVS at 15th to pick up Mike’s liter of Pepsi or Coke whatever they got left and to pick up my script for the Rava statin. It’s very cloudy. It rained a little bit while I was in the cafĂ©. I didn’t have to get back to Mike’s drink some lemonade because Coffee is a diuretic and get ready for yoga. It’s a 90 minute class with Virgil today. I got back to Mike’s gave him his food did a little dishwashing. Then heard from my friend Linda cause I had shared notes she took for a group we were in from 2008 and she gave me some updates about friends and colleagues back from Millville. She has a boyfriend of two years and he lives in Massachusetts. She’s going to be visiting Millville and seeing one of our old friends, Jane. Very interesting then Mike and I talked about adventures and stuff and had a good laugh. Now it’s time to go to a 90 minute class in the humidity. I feel very fortunate the rain has didn’t start at 4 PM like they predicted earlier today.

Wednesday March 5: Canceled Appt. 3X Yoga


Today I had to get up at 5:30 AM because Mike was having a procedure for his heart. I slept pretty well but obviously not enough sleep so 
I wobbled 

over to Mike’s after eating some cereal. We called the Uber and the Uber driver parked a little Sideways so he completely blocked traffic and one guy yelled at me and


the other guy was honking his ass off. We did manage to get to Pennsylvania hospital. He got all checked in and it at 8:50 AM. They called me told me that they canceled his
appointment 

because he was having an issue and right before the operation. So we probably have to do something else I don’t know but at least I 
know he’s getting out and I could 

go to Mary’s and crash like a crazy man hopefully. Anyhow, it’s now 10:35 PM Eastern standard time. Daylight 
saving time coming up Sunday hooray! Anyway, got back to 

Mike’s eat breakfast and I decided fuck it. I’m gonna go to the 11 o’clock 60 minute class with Tina. Since my next classes until 530 and
I get out of work early, it seemed 

like an opportune time. The weather is definitely changing cause we’re getting very high winds and then it’s going to rain. Generally, we get high winds. it’s not a good sign with the 
weather. Well, I went to the 11 o’clock 60 minute class. It was different. It was good. It was exhausting but I was thankful that it was a 60 minute class not a 90 minute class or even a 75 minute class

 Tina gave me advice to make sure I got enough electrolytesand I got myself a smoothie again to get the green leafy vegetables in me and I’m gonna have lunch and a Pepsi and do my thing and leave. About 2 PM it hasn’t started

 raining yet, but it definitely will happen right now. I’m at 17th and Lombard. I went to CVS got some stuff for Mike and then I came back to Mike’s and dried off my yoga clothes that I had used in my 11 o’clock class.

 Adeline left Mike’s as his coffee was brewing and went to Mary’s place and oh my God I was so tired. I couldn’t wait to lie down so I lied down for a little over
 2️⃣ hours and got a good nap in. I really 

needed that nap. Something fierce. I’ve had a 530 class and then a 7 PM Yin class so I could do the triple that I really need to do because my time is limited due to the fact I have a colonoscopy


 and vacation. 530 class with Dan was good. He had recognized seeing me in the 11 o’clock class and we both laughed and then I went to Yin and Yin was good

 except I was really thirsty. I mean thirsty on Thursday. I had just enough 
water to take some sips and get me through

 the class. Linda will be going away. She won’t be in class for the next for the rest 

of the month. I’m guessing due to stuff. Afterwards, Mary and I 

got some dinner. I drink more drinks and it was all good for the hood, we watch 

the law and order and trying to end went 
to bed decent @ decent hour. Overall wasn’t a bad day. But I found the most exhausting part. Was having
to get up 2️⃣ hours earlier than normal plus do a 

lot of running around. Gets a little hard on the 63 year-old body anyhow March March is on as they say.
