Thursday, August 27: Mike’s Phone & Computer

Well, today was the day to get a ride between Mike’s place at 1426 Lombard all the way up to 20th between Lombard and Pine to get his computer and his phone fixed. We first went outside at 9:30 waiting for the Uber to come over since we wouldn’t have any idea when he was showing up because Mike has no phone. So we waited for a bit and the guy did drive by and call for us so that was very good. We then got a ride to the Computer store. We found out that the Computer store wasn’t open till 10 so we sat outside for 15 minutes and then the guy did open and we first gave him the computer and found out the software wasn’t installed proper so we had to reinstall it twice to get it fixed. He checked it the first time none of the ports were working so we had to redo it. He was very patient and then he told us what we already knew the poor on this stupid cheap phone was inoperable. So he charged me $60 to get the computer reinstalled. I save four dollars paying in cash. Once we got that done, Mary had at us and we walked over to the hardware store to pick up a screen to protect the computer against possible roach infestation, which happened to the last Computer. We got to the hardware store just before the skies opened up. We hung out and talked for a bit waiting for the rain to calm down, and then we called another Uber that I paid for since the ride back from the place went by because we were way late. We got back up and Mike got the computer to work at long last. After that, the infusion supply lady  called to complain that she had stopped by earlier we thought she was the nurse but use some housewife from Northeast Philly. We finally picked. that up I got a big order from Amazon and now it’s already 3:01 PM. Yeah, so I caught up on yesterday‘s blog post and wrote up today’s blog post in the last half hour trying to get it together before I go to yoga at 4 o’clock. Meanwhile, the promotion for today’s yoga class has a picture of a group of us, which includes Mary and I during one of the posture clinic classes. That was the one where one particular person hijacked the class. It was pretty funny to us. It was very strange, but it was informative. Anyhow, the rain is finally calmed down. Maybe I won’t get wet on the way to my 4 o’clock class that would be really good. Well, Shalice taught the class and boy that he studio with humid as all get out. Made the class tougher in that way. Afterwards we managed to dodge the super cloud burst that reappeared and came home a little damp but not terribly wet.. We got back to Mary’s after we went to Max‘s and picked up a thing of cheese for her to cook up the stuffed peppers that she prepared. They are ready to be cooked in the oven currently. It is now 7:49 PM and I’m walking to catch the seven bus to Fairmount for my meeting which starts at 8:15. Google maps says the bus will be a minute early and arrive at 22nd Locust at 7:51 PM. So far the rain held off for now. We’ll see what happens later on tonight. that means pretty good not a new people who shared which was nice. I discovered that the Route 49 bus doesn’t stop by anymore at this hour so I can get back about the same time but I have to walk a little further to catch the bus change is difficult to times, but it’s not that bad.

Thursday, August 20: Slow Day. Yoga & Choir

Hello everyone out there in TV Land today is Thursday and after being up late, I realize going to a 7 AM meeting with just leave me completely exhausted for the rest of the day so I blew it off because I needed that extra hour of sleep. Yes, I’m tired, but I would’ve been completely exhausted if I gotten up at 6:30 and tried to function. Anyhow, I got the Mike’s did a little bit of cleaning and worked on getting his heart patch on. I did a load of laundry for him today instead of waiting till tomorrow. Tonight, I have Yoga plus Choir to Choir rehearsals today and tomorrow and then the show is supposed to be Saturday where we were at 12:30. I know I reported this before, but goes without saying also there was something revealed yesterday within the family. It was interesting. Anyhow, it’s been hard for me to motivate to do much of anything except the bare minimum so it’s also getting very humid. It had rained today when Mike and I took a walk but it’s sort of spitting rain it stops and then it will start randomly. It’s now 3 o’clock, trying to get ready for class. 12 years ago today I went to Williamsport Pennsylvania to watch the Little League World Series. Mo’ne Davis was the big star of our local Little League team in Philadelphia. Very strange time I will just say.. well, it’s 3:45 PM. I’m almost at the studio. I left a little early from Mike so I could pick up a Gatorade to CVS and I completely forgot about it so hopefully they have Gatorade at the studio that’s not diet. Anyway, the class today was Shalice was really. small We talked to Linda and Linda likes a smaller classes. Sometimes I like the smaller classes too. So like a big class every so often it’s just completely different energy going on. The class today everyone was really in sync with each other. I felt that. Well, after class there was a monsoon and the Sky  opened up. So we waited it out and we were very fortunate. The rain stopped and we didn’t get soaked getting back to the Dorchester. And I felt very fortunate there. We then took a quick 10 minute nap and I went off to choir practice. It was a very small group of people today. It was very challenging for me because a lot of stuff we were singing a cappella and I really had to read my music more than usual. Anyhow, it went pretty fast actually, but my throat is definitely tired. I felt that Mary ordered some food and I’m gonna go pick it up now. It’s now 9:45 AM.
