Monday, July 13: back to Work. Yoga

Today I got up unusually early cause I just wanted to sit for a while put my phone before I got to work. I got caught up and ended up being late anyway, but I got the Mike’s and it was a nice quiet day to start the week. I was thankful for that. Took out the trash shot. The shit with Mike did some catching up. That was good. I then ordered some stuff from Amazon and it came very quickly. It got it Mike at 12:30 PM. I got a whole bunch of packet and and Pepsi‘s and poppy drinks. Also got bananas and blueberries. It’s a nice day and it’s supposed to get warmer as the week gets along. Lindsay Graham died yesterday and the Internet‘s been arguing back-and-forth about his legacy. He really sold his soul of Trump. That’s for sure after he said Trump was a racist bigot. That’s his legacy to me. Anyhow enough for him. Mitch McConnell’s alive and so is Donald Trump so we have that. Anyway, it’s 3:44 PM. I’m heading towards Hot Yoga today. Well, Byron taught the 4 PM class. It’s a bit of a struggle today. I felt a little off-balance, but the class itself was fine. Maryann and I got a nice area towards the left front of the studio. Byron helped Mary  with her knee. That was very nice of them. It’s now 6:16 PM and I just got dressed and listening to Cooper’s choice of music which is Fleetwood Mac today. Well, I have my MONDAY Night Beginners meeting, which I haven’t attended in five weeks. it’s pretty sunny today and it’s gonna get a lot hotter as the week goes long not 100° but it’s gonna hit the 90s soon enough. I went to my MONDAY Night Beginners meeting and it was. They talked about differences and similarities and how we should look at similarities and not differences. Pretty well attended for sure. There are no Monday nights and mimosas for the first time in a while. I guess Dan’s away on a vacation or took the day off. The meeting is over now and I tried to call Mary, but I think she took a cat nap. We’re just gonna do takeout instead, but first time to wake up. Mary and I watched two episodes of Law and order. The second one was about a family fight about some text that was found in Poland by one of the main characters father in Poland. The non-religious cousin paid somebody to steal it from the church and rip it up to upset his brother so they could sell the synagogue for about 15 million. Turned out the book was just a book bought at the bookstore Mary and I even talked about whether Judaism is a race and controversial subjects like that. Very interesting conversation.

Wednesday, June 10: Target Shopping, YMCA, & Mexican Dinner

Hello boys and girls Mary and I are hanging out in Poway. We got up slowly very slowly then she got out of the house around 10:15 AM Pacific daylight time. We are both kind of jetlagged and Alice was understanding of that and is just letting us do our own thing and wake up slowly. I got to see Becky and her old car that she actually had shipped from Hawaii. It’s a 2013 Corolla. Anyhow, Mary and I were thinking of walking to the target getting some coffee doing a little bit shopping. Then we realized Mary forgot her phone and realized maybe we should just drive over there drive and we did that we drove to the target. Man oh man, we went to the Starbucks there and they had one table so we immediately seized on it as soon as we could because that’s the only table in the whole place. Later on someone told me that they removed all the tables due to Covid and use the remaining seating spaces where to put orders and they’re still keeping it up and we’re already in 2026 in the midpoint of 2026. Anyhow, we indulge in some delicious breakfast Muffins breakfast sandwich sandwiches with English muffins and then started shopping and that was an experience. That store is being ripped apart towards the back end of the store. All the drinks are all over the place and you have construction going on. We need to keep asking employees where stuff was I thought even indulging in shopping at Amazon. Anyhow, we got things that we actually needed. Mary found her a portable bag she could use for packing and she’s looking at knee braces and comparing suitcases. Anyhow, we finally finished shopping around 2 PM and we ordered another set of iced coffees and headed back to Alice’s place in Poway. I’m now sitting in the back just collecting some sun because it’s a beautiful day and Alaska will not look like this believe me. It’s mostly cloudy and cooler. That’s what we saw on the weather forecast that we looked at yesterday Alice made final plans to rent the car for Long Beach Island and Maryann. I owe $227 which is a lot better than the $450 that Hertz tried to charge. They wanted to rip off Alice like they tried to rip us off with their $3700 price tag for two weeks. We had to go to Enterprise just like she did. I ended up doing my own thing. Well, after you get back from target, Mary &  I mellowed out to the max. I sat outside in the sun. Mary took a nap and I had some snacks. Then we went to the YMCA and did a little bit of swimming in the sauna, which was really relaxing. Then straight from there we went to a place called Ruby’s, which was a really good little Mexican restaurant. That was fun. Becky and Mimi joined us for the dinner which was fun.
