Tuesday, July 4: Independence Day in Ardmore & b

It’s July 4  it’s officially the second half of the year and the United States 245th birthday. It’s the first July 4 that I worked ever. Anyhow, I’ll have to look back at last July 4 to see if I did caregiving but I don’t think I did because I didn’t finish the

 application process that they had. Anyhow, I woke up to overcast, humid morning. It wasn’t terribly hot, but it was pretty humid. Anyway, the skies did clear up and it got pretty hot. 

I visited Mike for a moment then went to my 10:00 AM yoga class it was packed and that room was really stifling. Even the teacher/instructor. Said it was her. He did say, however, that he would open up the windows

 after the warm-ups. it was pretty unbelievably hot. Well I made it through class. My foot was having a bad moment, but I made it 

through pretty well and then I headed back towards Mike’s around 11:45 AM and waited for this order they never came.
 I ended up taking multiple naps and having lunch. I kept my ringer

 on and the phone was ringing pretty frequently. The family group text was pretty active today. Everything from the American flag 🇺🇸 to the pride flag was discussed. eventually 3 o’clock rolled 

around and I signed out. Actually, it was 315 that I signed out and then I walked down to suburban station were. Fortunately there was an actual train schedule. It’s running on a Sunday 

schedule so I didn’t have to take multiple buses are Uber to get to Ardmore 

for 1 hour walk. And then I’m going to a cookout. The train arrived on 

time. It was very empty because it is July 4 is not a regular comedian

 day. SEPTA is on the Sunday schedule. It’s not so hot in the shade but when 

you get in the sun, it is boiling. And I’m glad I could cag out today. No I 

was on the clock. That was good. I also got a grab the bottle of supercoffee cause I’m just feeling kind of in holiday

 mode. It’s really hard not to feel holiday mode. Specially, 

everything else is kind of quiet and your job is quiet, which is a blessing. I feel for the  people who have to work in fast food or convenience, stores. The have to serve
people that are running in & buying ice and last minute stuff for their picnics. They should be getting $15 minimum wage! Anyway, here’s today’s right wing outreach story. They found cocaine in the White House. President Biden was 

away at camp David for the Fourth of July think Joe’s the lastperson to be snorting Coke. Donald Trump snorts Adderall Adderall and that’s been saidfor a while but people don’t like put it on Twitter like 90% of the Democrats and liberals don’t put that stuff it’s just talked about. Anyhow, I had a really tasty vegetarian sandwich on a 

croissant that was quite

enjoyable. Then we took 45 minute walk around Ardmore. Then came back and I was 

given some food to take to the picnic and I’m going to now. anyhow, I went to the picnic and time fortunately were people from the group there. There were others that this woman knew from 

being young, etc. I was easily the oldest dude there. First, I felt uneasy but after

 a little bit achy can’t do a conversation about 8D sound and some kind

 of ambient sound that supposed to reduce anxiety. I have to check that out and get the correct name. my phone 
died when
 it got dark and I was able to get a ride to 30th St. would save me an Uber ride plus my phone was dead so I left in good time and got home around 9:30 PM. 

I talked on the phone and then I am watching videos and went to 

sleep. I haven’t really slept smoothly last few nights, so I’ve been taking a lot of naps. Who did interesting day with many weather changes.

Tomorrow’s gonna be a normal day of working in thinking too much I suppose.

Wednesday, December 14: World Cup, Sunny w Yoga &Talk

I woke up this morning pretty stiff, but OK from to yoga classes and weird train ride 

last night. I caught the train and got here only a minute late. The train for 

running on time. Which is good since it’s so damn cold outside. Anyhow, I found myself pretty tired, so I took

 a nap in the morning and repeat the stimulation around me. I got a couple of text messages and respond to them I think. 

Anyhow, it’s cold and it’s last sunny day. We’re going to have rain for 2 days because the big storm that came in. It’s just gonna dump a bunch of rain. No 

snow here. Mike and I were going through some bags and I asked

 him it was in this one bag and he said “it’s a dead raccoon.” And I just laughed and laughed and laughed. It just tickled me. I decided to go to CVS around 11:00 AM 

because today’s gonna be the last nice day before it rains tomorrow all day and probably most of Friday. I got a couple of things to bring back. So far it’s been pretty quiet 

Mike’s trying to get his benefits fixed up online. We’re gonna go for a walk when I get up to 40 which should be sometime after lunch. I plan to

go to yoga and then head off to the main line. 



well, about 1:45 PM. Mike and I went out for a 

walk down Broad Street and he picked up a piece of pizza and 

we needed to go out while the weather was still half decent. In news outside of my world, the 
Fed increased interest rates by .5% to combat inflation. They may continue to increase rates. Some experts are thinking

 they can do a soft landing and prevent a severe recession. That remains to be 

seen. Anyhow, it’s 330 and I’m ready to go to my 4 o’clock yoga

 class. Then I’m catching commuter train to Ardmore, Pennsylvania with the trees and nice 

mainline people there. Right now I went inside. One of the reasons in France is playing morocco and they’re at the 69th minute. France is leading 1-0. 🇫🇷is definitely the favorite in this one. I came extra early and the door to the studio 

still locked. France just scored a goal towards the end of the game to make it to nothing which is pretty much an insurmountable lead for soccer. 

It looks like it’s going to be France versus Argentina for the World Cup final. I completed my 75 minute class which was fairly crowded and when I 
left, I asked if I was doing a double and I said no. Anyhow, I got Trask’s and then all that stuff and then I walk to 16th and JFK 

after going to the Rite Aid in getting a drink and a snack. Around the training family so pretty tired so I just dozed off by the train rolled along. I got here at 6:54 PM.
