Tuesday, December 16:🥶 Mike’s Sister, DM Medical, Yoga & Choir

This morning, I hit the off button to my alarm instead of the snooze button at 7:30 AM. Next thing you know I popped up awake at 9 AM. I quickly 

got dressed contacted Uber and went to Mike’s. I was pretty damn late, but I got there just before Nichole showed up. 

Nicole went over Mike’s pills and then she left. Next thing you know it Mike’s Sister Marley called and states that she was coming over real soon. Mike had to get dressed and she showed up around 11:00 AM. Mike 

got down the steps and one fell swoop, but he was purely exhausted getting into the car. She’s taking him out to lunch. I’m glad she showed up early. I then went to the Health south pharmacy on South Street to pick

up Mike’s Ridellan I went back there dropped it off and I’m heading to the bank to deposit a check. The other sister wrote back. The sisters are helping this year. It’s almost like a Christmas miracle. Today is 

frigid cold! Well, I deposited Mike’s check and then decided I would walk up to DM Medical figuring I had time. Right before I got the DM Medical 

Mike called that he was finished eating with the sister so I told him I had to resolve this issue. I got the DM Medical and they made me wait 15 minutes.

 A woman finally came down and resolve the issue. I was very fortunate southbound train came just as I was coming down. It’s now 12:38 PM going 

to meet Mike and then eat lunch. Well, I met up with Mike and his sister and helped Mike up the steps. They ended up going through a drive

through at McDonald’s and driving around the city as an exploring trip. Mike enjoyed it cause he got the seat. Parts of the city hasn’t seen in 

a while. He also didn’t have to get up and force himself to walk and stuff. I ended up eating lunch and that was pretty well as well. I just stayed 

inside for the rest of the day cause I was walking around outside was a bit exhausting. I just wanted to stay warm. The temperature is supposed to moderate over the next couple of days we’re gonna

have rain on Thursday. It’s 3:23 PM. I just updated this blog and now it’s time for me to get ready for my 4 PM yoga class with Tina. Tina‘s class 

was very good as usual. She gave me a slight correction in my head and knee pose today which I needed. It really made a difference. That that pose is really intense. After class, Mary and I hung up and hung

out and on the fourth floor after we hung our mats up and then we got dressed and headed out back to the door Chester I offloaded my clothes and put in my choir stuff and headed out 

to choir practice. This choir practice will be the last practice at the William Way center since it is closing officially this Thursday. It’s pretty cold.


Fortunately the wind is slight is slight so that’s good. Well, practice was very thorough and intense because this is the last rehearsal we have for 

the next 2️⃣ weeks for the holidays. Then we only have a few more practices such as Saturday, January 10. I believe that’s a date. They are practice files. I should probably review those. We had a shortened break because since the place is closing, they needed help moving stuff 


out and throwing them out because the William Way center is closed, but they’ll be getting funding so it may reopen in a year or two I don’t know exactly. I got to the Indian restaurant, Royal Indian

and the 20% discount only when you order online I guess we didn’t read it all the way through so oh well it’s now 10:05 PM my battery’s down to 6%. Tuesday nights 

are awfully busy that’s for sure but I get two next 2️⃣ weeks off from choir practice. And I get to eat Indian food and watch Law and order with the best woman in the world. Anyhow, that’s it for this day. This is the way it goes in 2025.

Saturday, May 10: Choir Rehearsal, and Yoga

Hi! It’s a lovely Saturday today. Got up really early and Mary gave me a good back rub which really helped my stupid shoulder pain 


so I was able to get some real sleep last night which was wonderful. We then went back to sleep and woke up around 11 AM. I went to fetch Coffee at the Heart 

of Catering Café while Mary made bacon eggs and toast. That was delicious then I got myself ready to go to choir rehearsal. It starts at 1 o’clock. A 

lot of people aren’t gonna be able to attend so I don’t feel so bad about leaving a little early actually the rehearsal goes to 5 PM. I’m gonna leave around 3:45 PM.



 I went to choir practice and somebody brought the cutest little puppy. It was really fun. We’re going over page 2:56 in the Matthew Shepherd 

piece. The room is cold as usual because the AC was cranky, and the 
windows are wide open. I’m really hoping my shoulder stopped acting up. 

It was better last night. It took a lot of work from Mary to get it calm down. I’ve never had anything quite like this. I mean I’ve had issues with that shoulder but

 nothing like this. Meanwhile it’s almost mid May already can you believe this? There’s lots of stuff going on weddings concerts etc. next weekend 

Mary and I are going to Long Beach Island on Sunday. Well, they gave us a half hour break by getting us pizza which was very good. I had three slices of pizza. I 

enjoyed them very much. Anyhow, it’s now 3:32 PM and I’m walking back from the William Way center and 

from the rehearsal. Really nice day out sunny clear skies 

a little cool in the shade but no complaints here. Hope I didn’t eat too much 🍕 before 

yoga. I wanted to give myself plenty of time because I never know how long it’s actually gonna take me to get there. Hopefully my shoulder will
be not acting 

up later on today. What an absolutely gorgeous day here in the big city. I just heard from my brother as I was walking. Wanted to know when I was heading 

over to my mom’s and I told him around 11:30 AM tomorrow the usual time for me. Mia’s class was really good.  ✅ The humidity Was not nearly as bad as it had been previously since 

we had such a beautiful weather. The three pizza slices I had made it a little bit dangerous in the beginning of class, but I was OK probably cause I had enough 

sleep and my back my shoulder wasn’t completely stiff. We went to CVS and got cereal and some Sparkling Ice. Mary Lynn made a really yummy and heavy duty smoothie to fortify a hard-working man who does yoga. Mary made a smoothie for herself because of course she does yoga just as much as I do. Anyhow, we watched in Deavor and then went to bed.
