Wednesday, April 30: Sketch Club, and Photos

Well, after sleeping very well overnight, I got up pretty groggy and headed on down to Mike’s for work. I was a little bit late but 


Wednesday is one day that it’s OK to be late cause I go to the 5:30 PM class instead of the 4 o’clock class. I ran into someone from the


studio who went to Leo 6:30 AM class. I got the Mike’s and thought maybe I was picking up a check for him, but that never happened. I then went back to Millbourne because I forgot to 

leave a check for Pat For my May rent so that I had to take care of on the way back from Millbourne, I went to the Sketch Club to see if I had two photographs there and lo and behold

 they were there believe it or not. I was. I felt very fortunate that I caught him while they’re open. Also found out they have

 another open call for that’s due in two weeks for a show that the topic is food. I think got back to Mike’s and the person never called him back to pick up a check. Mike 

got a call from a nurse that was going to visitso I stayed for that. I am dropping off a photo to the frame shop that that the woman said she would display and put up 

for sale. It’s a very mild day. It’s about 2:07 PM. I dropped off the photograph 

and it’s gonna be for sale for $200 and the original print our frame is gonna 

be $70 with a nice little chitchat and then I laughed and I’m 

heading to CVS pick up Mike script and Diet Pepsi. After that, I’m just gonna finish 

off the rest of Mike’s visit. I’m gonna pick up the two large Gatorade 

on the way to Mary’s. I gotta remember to do that. It’s 50% off the second one 

when you buy two of them and I have to buy two of them for the 

Prep. Well, well, well… It didn’t take long for Trump to fuck up the economy. The US  had a negative growth rate this past quarter which 

is the worst since 2022 in the recovery from Covid and high inflation. 

It’s amazing what one guy can do to the economy. I can’t believe that the law 

allows the president not Congress do all this bullshit with the

 terrace. Congress is almost next to useless!! I finished off at Mike’s and he was trying to take a nap. And then signed

 out late because I showed up late. I then went to the CVS and got 228 ounce Gatorade

 plus a 12 ounce and stuffed them in my backpack along with the MiraLAX or at least

 a generic equivalent of MiraLAX. I’m headed out this backpack pack of the girls it’s now

 4:05 PM heading down Locust towards right Rittenhouse Square. Maryann and 

I got back to her place at the same time we mellow it out. I had some 

iced tea and she just finished a massage. She decided that would be best to rest and I had it down to the studio where Dan
 is teaching  class. After Dan’s class is the Wednesday night yin 

class that used to be taught by Linda for a year and a half or so. It’s still pretty mild outside. I went to Dan’s 

class and it was pretty full in there. He didn’t even turn on the humidity

 because it was pretty humid. Afterwards, I took a quick shower, joined Mary at the end. Class taught by Hanalei. The class 
was pretty good. The music was well done for sure. I found that my shoulders are really stiff, especially my right shoulder.

 

Friday November 1: A Sprinkle of 🌧️ 4️⃣ Days!

Today I woke up in good old Millbourne and got myself ready to go and got to Mike’s an OK time. Mike didn’t sleep that well last night so 
we were 

real slow so we took Uber to his doctors appointment. No I think it was LIFT because they had Wait and save a couple bucks and that’s what I did. We got to the place and Mike didn’t wait  very long and they came out and 

saw him in fact he was seen before his 10:30 AM appointment. He ended up going in there and I guess they just did a lot of talking and after all the talking, he increased  1️⃣ medication
 and I think that was about it.There are no danger signs at the doctor reported. Anyhow, one of the first things of political news was that Trump was busy calling for Liz Cheney to be executed in the face by firing squad on 

Tucker Carlson‘s whatever the hell he’s running these days. And of course, MAGA 
will make excuses for him. It’s the same old patternhe has to lose 


he’s completely losing his mind and his support are gonna take us with him if he gets in Jesus Christ. Anyhow, after Mike’s appointment,📆 the I went 

ahead to CVS did an errand for him got myself a Pepsi. Next, I had lunch and then went
 over to the frame shop at 21st and Walnut. 

I just walked the whole way there and picked up my photos and walk-through Rittenhouse Square and then the bus showed up. 

I took the 12 bus. It took me a half a block away from the sketch club I went there dropped off my photographs 
and initialed my name so that is done 

is now 2:32 PM. I’m gonna unwind a little bit. Drink some liquids and get ready for 4 o’clock classtodayatYoga Philly. 

Well, I went to Marie‘s 4 o’clock class and I forgot my thermos again and left it at  home. I think I was too busy trying to pack a lot of stuff in for Mike’s fridge. Anyhow, the

room wasn’t nearly as hot as I thought it might be she had the fans moving

 right along, which was really nice. So I could live on just having the one Gatorade I 

actually didn’t finish the whole Gatorade, which is a first for me for sure 

I never drank so little for a class before. I must’ve been thirsty now I ended up 

chitchattingwith Mary Sue and Kaitlyn for a tiny bit. I did get a class with 

her on the 17th. That’ll be about a week before I fly off to California. When

 I got back to Mary’s, I just we just lie 
down and relaxed for a while and talked. It’s 7:45 PM. We’re gonna start a little bit of lunch for our yoga class tomorrow and then 


I’m going to go pick up the food. We just ordered. anyhow, we ended up watching the post about Catherine Graham, and the Pentagon 


papers in the Washington Post. It was very enlightening. I enjoyed it very much. We talked a little politics, hung out and then retired for the evening.
