Monday September 21: Brunch, Sun, & Yoga.

Hi! Today I woke up in the normal work time at 7:45 AM. I felt OK I slept very well obviously I would’ve like to sleep more but we went to bed at a 
decent hour so it wasn’t terrible. I got the Mike’s a little after nine did a couple things around around this place, including the emptying of tubs. Anyhow, I agreed to meet Mary at the café for some scrambled eggs or some kind of eggs to get to my protein in for my recovery from the implant surgery. It’s been a bit rough. I’m just used to not having discomfort for this long. I’ve been spoiled over my last few dental treatments. Anyhow, I ended up going up to the café around noon. Met up with Mary. We talked a lot. we even looked at our account such as Uber Lyft and the Apple wallet to make sure the proper things were in their proper place. I did some cleanup of that we talked, and we also talked to the woman who sits in her usual spot in near ours at the café. She’s very nice. We ran into Amy of HPY and talk to her for a bit after we left the café. That was nice. Anyhow, went back to Mike’s and went to the bank on his behalf to deposit a $200 check his sister sent. I thought she was gonna send 300 but you know how those sisters are. Anyhow, then realized I needed to catch up on blogging and literally just wrote up today’s blog today at around 3:43 PM. It’s now 3:44 PM and I’m at 15th and Locust to go to my first yoga class since last Thursday afternoon before the implant procedure. Well surprisingly there was a good half a day of sunshine. In fact, most of the late morning and afternoon had sun. It’s now 3:50 PM and now the clouds are gathering for the rainfall that will happen later on today. Tonight we have virtual and hopefully I won’t suffer like I have in his previous classes too much. Well, his class wasn’t so bad today. It was a little tough in the beginning because of my teeth and I wasn’t acclimated to the heat as much as I usually am.

Saturday, May 17: Shoulder Pain, Brunch, Warm


Again today, I woke up at 4:00 AM with flaming pain on my left shoulder got up eventually went to the easy chair kind of veg out, but didn’t 
really sleep, but I guess

 I slept enough to be conscious so Mary and I relax and then went to the art café And brunch. I had my usual breakfast burrito which I really like. It’s very tasty. Mary plans 


to go to the 4 o’clock class I am planning to go to Mike’s to pick up my belt that I left there and to go to Millbourne and pack while Mary is doing her 4 o’clock classI while I’m there I’m going shower 

and shave and look for clothes and stuff. Well, Mary and, I 

next went to the frame shop to drop off photos of me doing a yoga pose. It’s a good picture then we walked around 

Center city and it was a really nice warm 80° day complete 

opposite of what it was throughout last week. I even wore my new shorts I bought. It was really nice to go 

get the warm sunshine and stuff. All kinds of people around on the 

street today we went to a flea market and I got this one thing for five dollars that was made in Japan I think. I’m going to 

bring it back to Millbourne. Mary left for yoga and I took a nap 

cause I could actually sleep and I crashed pretty hard. It was nice but it’s not nearly enough, but I’ll certainly take it.I then went to Mike’s and Limbo was there and that was 

nice to talk to those guys I picked up some order 4 Mike  and got my belt. After that, I I had it on down in Broad Street, hoping to catch one of the buses, but none of them showed up so I went by the Kimmel where

 I’ll be performing in June about the same time I have PT. I got the L in about five minutes and got the Millbourne and Noticed that got really stiff between my neck



 and my shoulder but it’s not hurting hurting like it does at night time. So I got my trazodone

 pills,💊 got a change of clothing, got my mail, and then took a shower. I 



decided that my backpack was way too heavy to put on my back

 which I wasn’t gonna do or to carry with one hand. It’s weird having a lifestyle 



change that you didn’t ask for. So I called LIFT because it was a lot 

cheaper than Uber and I would also get there before 8 o’clock at the dorchester at the Dorchester.

Saturday, February 22: Brunch N’ Yoga


Well, today is Saturday all day long in fact. We got up around 10 AM. We’re going to meet folks at 11:30 AM for brunch at the Dock Street. It’s a nice
 clear day but it’s supposed to cloud up later. We’re just getting prepped now. I looked up Google maps and SEPTA having a “Operator unavailability” problem so we can’t take the bus down so we will walk 20 minutes to the 

place. The walk to the dock street at 22nd and Washington. It was very pleasant. There’s a sunny day in South Philly looks really nice nowadays. Mary and I ordered a 🍕 pizza and

 we split it and we hung out With Mary’s niece Maggie and her 

husband John. She’s pregnant and due next month and they have a two-year-old who came along in the stroller. 

We hung out and took our time and it was a good thing we made it earlier in the afternoon. The place wasn’t crowded when we first walked in. We just talked and Mary caught up with some 

family news and I was counting down on the pizza, which was very, very good.  Afterwards, Mary and I stroll up 22nd St. and ran into a couple landmarks. 
One of them was Doobies. It looked shattered, which is a shame because
 I have long ago. Memories of going there

 in the late 80s. Last time I ventured there was in 2015 when I was hanging 

out with Bob and Lisa during the people visit which was the end of 

September 2015. They’re very exciting times to be in Philadelphia in 

my opinion. Anyhow, it’s now 2:30 PM and I’m just gonna mellow out. It’s



 still pretty cold out. It’s supposed to go up past 40° today but it still feels pretty 

chilly. It should start warming up tomorrow and into next week. The temperature is going to be 

going up into the 50° territory. I came back to Mary’s & bad some cold iced tea. 

That was refreshing 4 sure. It’s nice just to sit and chill for a bit! well, I went

 to the 4 PM class with Mary and I was very stiff today. My balance wasn’t all that

 fantastic either but I was in a cool spot in the room so it wasn’t too bad 

but you could you could see feel the breeze coming through. It was there

 was 3️⃣ rows of people, but it was fine. It was pretty stiff today. There 

are many factors involved. Anyhow, we hung out afterwards and talked with me and a couple other people at the studio and then we headed on back 


to Mary’s where we unwound and then we threw stuff in the laundry to get done. I had to set of yoga clothes that needed to be clean so we’re cleaning them and some of 

her yoga clothes. We then talked about each other‘s families for a little bit and then it was ime to order some Indian and that’s what we’re doing. It’s almost

 8 PM in the city here. Oh, I got ripped off $10 by the vending machine 

when I was trying to buy a Gatorade it billed me four times for the Gatorade

 and I never got even one of the drinks. So I’m gonna try to get the money

 back. Last night we watched Shawshank redemption, which is really good. Hopefully

 we watch Law and Order, but we’ll decide on that at another time. Mike 

sent a picture of himself with mom. I gather he’s just going to come up for the day 
and either turn around and go back to Maryland or stay overnight for one night at Dave. That’s the way things work around here but it’s good that he visited 

that’s for sure.
