Monday, November 11: Alice Visits HYP


This morning, I got up and attempted to try to get an earlier start, but I was too sleepy. I did however get my yoga clothes and pack some stuff 


with me which is fine. I then got ready to walk to the septum, Millbourne station and last minute I remembered I had a rental car parked right here 

in Millbourne .So I quickly turned around and drove the car down towards Mike’s. I stopped over. I got really lucky and 

found a parking spot right next to Mike’s house because some big pick up truck 
happened to move out just when I was sitting there and about the park in 

an illegal spot.  So I quickly turned around and drove the car down towards Mike’s. I stopped over. I got really lucky and found a parking spot right next to Mike’s
house because some big pick up truck happened to move out just when 

I was sitting there and about the parking in a legal spot. So this gave me time 

to unload all the stuff from my backpack and leave my backpack at 

Mike’s. well, I drove to the rental place and they had an issue with these people

 doing construction so I went around circles at least four times and then

 just parked and they eventually after about 20 minutes enabled us to drive in. Fortunately there was some

 guy from Hertz Rent-A-Car to just tell us to leave the keys in the car and 

to just park and he showed me a parking spot. I then took the trolley to Center city

 and walked all the way up Broad Street. I was a little tired from 

all that activity. I rested a bit and then Mike and I went to his first physical 

therapy appointment for his left leg. I spent that hour or so blogging 

getting family photos set up from yesterday‘s birthday party for my mom

 who turned 95 official on Wednesday that’s November 13 to the 

outside world. We have five birthdays in our family in November that includes

 my long deceased father who was born November 10 and died in 1977 on July 1.

 Anyhow, Mike’s appointment ended, and we decided to treat ourselves at a pizza 

place, so that’s what we did. It was a good tasting pizza and as of 250 I can 
still feel it in my stomach, but it’s not bad. It’s just I don’t like to feel full before my yoga class. Alice
called and we didn’t realize it. It was too late to catch 

the train so she’s meeting me at the studio at around 3:40 PM. Hopefully she’ll see me there. well, my sister did see me there and we parked at the parking lot with
great anticipation

 and joy. The guy at the park was really cool and then we went upstairs and Mary hooked up Alice while I was getting waiting for her and she got a spot in front and I would say we 

went to class and it was one of the strangest Hot Yoga class I ever went to let’s put it this way. The instructor who will remain unnamed at this time. Was trying


 to make Alice do things and Alice didn’t want to do them and then he wanted her to leave if he wasn’t gonna do it then Mayor got engaged with him and meanwhile, while this was all going on,

 there was a half blind autistic guy who was laying there with his staff just being a little talking and weird and it was all in the same 
corner of the room it was just Willie strange it was a weird kind of vibe going on. After that, we walked down to Riau Square and had a delicious dinner of stuffed peppers with Alice. We laughed and had fun and then we played this game called bananas bananas. I was not into it because it just made me feel kind of stupid but we had a good time anyway anyhow but Alice was really good.

Friday, November 11: Rain ☔️ Quietly Falling

I woke up today with more sleeping last night, but still pretty tired. I did have a dream it wasn’t

 weird but I already forgot about it. I got the Mike’s on time and told him that I may start working for the Commonwealth at the end of November. I did tell him that I might want to
have someone come in and clean his place before I go. But I had questions for the state. I have a whole list of questions for the Commonwealth to figure out this job‘s 
going towork

 for me and stuff. I didn’t do that much work today. Did some sweeping Kerry stuff around but mostly farting around a bit. Today is the second the last day of warm weather. Tomorrow, Saturday, it’s gonna be 

sunny and warm, and will be the last warm day, and this Indian summer.  it’s been a pretty good fall but it’s mint November and it shouldn’t be hitting 68° this time

 of year. Fortunately for me the rain when it has phone was pretty late. It’s now 3:40 PM and it was raining and it just periodically stopped for the time being.  Yeah it’s going to be pretty hot
in this room. I predict because it is warm and it is very humid. This is obvious from the fact that it’s been raining off and on 
all day. It’s at 3:50 PM and I’m going in for my 4 o’clock class at Hot Yoga Philadelphia. Well class was good. It wasn’t too crowded at all because it’s a 4 o’clock class and fortunately the window was left open so there was plenty of air to be had. I like air. It makes it a lot easier to do the poses. I was still pretty thirsty when I got out. It got dark while I was in class. I then went to Ardmore to take a walk and ate a free meal that she had gotten

 from somewhere. It was a turkey and stuffing and cranberries and it was very good. I was pretty damn hungry. After that we took a walk. It was perfect weather. The rain stopped and 

it was mild. It was 69° and it was after 7 PM. This is in November mind you. I didn’t get a ride home from Ardmore and him and talk for a bit. I then decide 

to have some chunky New England clam chowder to finish off my eating for the evening, Joe, I’m was ready to go to bed and tomorrow I’m gonna sleep in 


and take it easy. Tomorrow’s gonna be the last warm day that we’re gonna

 have for quite some time because it is after all mid November it’s gonna go down up to 70° tomorrow and then go back to the Hyatt in the mid 40s starting Sunday.
