Friday, January 12: PVOP Choir Concert 🎶 Tired

After really sleep, which found me freezing my ass off even 

though the heat was up to 70 I had to pile on two more layers to be able 

to be comfortable. It wasn’t sweating. I was just shivering cold it’s very 

unpleasant. I think the vaccine kind of kicked my ass. Anyhow I managed to come up with a plan to pack my stuff and eventually

 bring it to Mary’s. I thought of everything but then I realized as I was hopping on the Market. Frankford line that I forgot my 🦷 I forgot both  sets, so I gotta go back home anyway. I didn’t eat breakfast at Plane to drink and a little bit of Pepto.  I intend 

to go to Mary’s and go through my stuff to make sure I have everything and whatever I forgot

 I have to go back home and get it. I’m also thinking Orro Mary’s been 

crashing there. There is a live stream happening tomorrow, Saturday January 13 for

 the 8 o’clock concert. I’m going to share it with people who can’t make

 it or live far away.  Well, I napped at Mike’s for about 45 minutes to an hour 

and then got up and got myself awake a little bit but I was pretty groggy. I then headed to Mary’s with my backpack in my gym bag which I’m taking for the trip. Once I got to Mary’s, I offloaded 
my stuff andtook a nap for about 45 minutes and she gave me a shoulder 

rub because my right shoulders sore because holding up the

 choir folder for an hour and a half straight and I left shoulder hurts because of vaccine. It’s now 2:24 PM. I got some Singapore noodles and eat those and 

do stuff for Mike. The agency called and wants either one of us to call about getting a replacement for me next week. So Mike got

 a replacement for me for next week. Which is good.P I did some stuff around 

Mike’s place took out to grab the trash and then I finished off the Singapore

 noodles. Couldn’t quite finish the whole thing but I ate most of it. It’s

 now 4:23 PM. I’m about to enter my door to go home nap, and then 

brush my teeth and put them in. well, I meant to catch the 4:57 PM train but 

it ended up turning into a 5:20 PM train because SEPTA was being funky and stuff. I documented 

it and put it on social media. It just made me I didn’t get this City Hall till 5:36 PM. OK it’s 6:04 PM right now I had to pick up an Uber after getting my shirt then I just barely remembered my choir folder

. I really wanted to be able to dump off the one I borrowed folder but I don’t have time for that mess now, so I should be there around  6:10 PM which is not terrible but it’s not great

 eitherconcert starts at 8 PM. Anyhow, I got back to Mary’s put on my shirt and got there only about 10 minutes late, but it didn’t really matter that much. I had to organize my choir music and put behind. Put it in these bands to hold the music together boy that really does help because when I was at the

 concert, it just made it easier not to spill your music while performing the performance is really good and very intense. Mary was there. They’re   charging $33 a ticket and the place was full.  It was very full and the audience was very enthusiastic, which I really liked. The church is a beautiful 


building and there’s a lot of prep before the concert. The cons went really well. Mary took some nice pictures and some videos


 as well. I then went back to Mary’s and had some for homemade stuffed peppers their restaurant worthy she could sell them for 20 bucks and  people would buy them at pandemic prices baby! Tomorrow 
night they’re going to do it podcast as I probably mentioned earlier. Well, it was time to get a decent night sleep and possibly hit the 11 o’clock yoga class. De stiffen myself because my feet were dying after the concert for standing for two hours.

Thursday, July 14: 2 Appts. Caregiving and Harrisburg

I got up in time and had breakfast as per usual. I got ready to go to my 1040 dermatologist appointment. I took the 65 bus from 69th St. terminal. It’s pretty
hot from the start this day was. I caught the bus and got me there right on time and I love talking on the phone but still making the 
dermatologist appointment he removed 23 things one of them is getting a biopsy. There was some kind of thing on my forehead I had scratched so he took a biopsy of that. Everything else

 looked fine.  After the appointment I realized Lancaster Avenue 

was closed so I couldn’t catch the 105 so I ended up walking to 63rd and

 Malvern and taking the 46 bus to 60th St. and then take a Neil from 60th 

and market to get home. I’ve been relax drink something and took a nap. I had to 

make a decision on caregiving today  I am hoping to get 

it out-of-the-way by August so I can move on with other things. So now I have 2 caregiving 

jobs one temporary and I don’t know what the other one is. 

Anyway I then I’m going to my RSV appointment but I’m running late 



because SEPTA got all funky. One train trip two minutes early 

and the other one was eight minutes late so it’s a pain in the ass . I have a  3:45 PM 

 Amtrak to Harrisburg.  It’s now 2:22 PM I’m in the waiting room of DM 

Medical. I was seen in about 15 minutes and they answer me the same questions as it did on the online questionnaire. The woman did have a concern about my 



bandage on my head from the dermatologist taking a biopsy from growth 

that I had on my forehead. The doctor was not terribly concerned. I do 

get paid for this visit and my next in person visit on July 28 at 2 PM. I failed to mention a delightful and funky  development. I reset my passport

 application back on July 6 while‘s in Buffalo. I get a mail preview of what’s coming in the mail and they’re sending my application

 back to me even though it’s not addressed to me. It’s really strange I was hoping to get the mail before I left for 

Harrisburg but I’ll have to look at it on Saturday. This past for things getting a little scary. I was hoping to be 
able to  take a trip to visit Bob and Lis in Amsterdam in September or October but I can’t do it without a passport. A nerving. My friend 

Donna  went to the same type of experience with passport. Is now 3:38 PM and my 3:45 PM train is now estimated to be here at 4:15 PM. This means I won’t get to Harrisburg till about 6 PM. Well have a funny thing happen I’m on the way to Harrisburg. Suddenly the same flashes last call
and everyone is scrambling to catch the train because just they announce last 

call, The gate number or sister Birdsall and time. You can see in the above photo. 

Whenever Amtrak train runs late they just announce
 last call!!  Everybody runs instead of waiting in line. Usually with a Harrisburg Train you’ll have people waiting in line when you know the gate number on 

this date and the last time I went to Harrisburg they didn’t do that. No it’s 542 we just left Middletown home with the Harrisburg international airport. I thought 


affinity snap but I decided not to. I did however charge my phone. I’m kind of tired now it’s weird the super coffee sometimes does the opposite makes

 me more tired so you take a  I arrived in Harrisburg around 6 PM and 

my friend was already going to pick me up we drove through downtown Harrisburg 

on the way to Lemoyne where she lives. When we got there 

to her house I just mellowed out for a little while. We then went out to Harrisburg

 and went to a bunch of little places and looked at him and then we went to 

a place called The Millworks. It’s a combination art gallery restaurant in place

 to grab a drink. It’s been around for about five years and it’s pretty 

hip I must say they have Artist studios built right into the place. And some of the art 

was pretty good. We had dinner and it was quite fancy and 

Artisanal for sure. I had chicken Popeye that looked nothing like any chicken Popeye

 ever had in my life. Chicken look real and end it was you from

 local farms etc. I know one person did not approve of me having the chicken but

 he wasn’t with me. Diana got some very delicious pesto pizza 

with pesto . I had a nice side order of spring salad and that was quite delicious. I had

 this fancy drink minus the alcohol which was really fruity 

and tasty. It was nice to have some kind of fancy drink for once. It’s hard 

when you don’t drink it’s the fanciest drink you can get a San Pellegrino 

or something like that. We went to the laundromat after dinner to pick up the clothes from the washer and we put it in the dryer. While the stuff was dry for 30 minutes

 we took a walk around the block. I asked about if she had cereal and she said no so I there’s a little store nearby and I went there and

 and I got raisin bran, juices and three bananas. The place was very clean and nice and it being open late is a big bonus. I went to that place last time I was here. I like to have my cereal and stuff available in the morning.
