Tuesday, September 15: Sunny☀️ Tired. Yoga & Choir

Well, this morning I got up at 6:30 AM to get ready to go to my 7 AM meeting. It was pretty cool. I had to put on a sweatshirt. It was 55° when I woke up. I went to a meeting. there was all dudes, except one woman. The dudes are between ages of 28–38 years old. Anyway, I left the meeting and had coffee and relaxation with Mary when I got back. She had an appointment with Nick today. She also had physical therapy this morning as well. Anyway, I continued on to Mike’s house and did a little bit of cleanup and I cleaned the oven top and the right side of it chipped away due to rust. Mike’s application for Scottish Rite House is being held up by the landlord who doesn’t really answer the phone when they call them. Mike’s a little behind on rent so I don’t know what’s gonna happen here. Landlord was called and told who to ask for. Mike and I went out for a walk a little bit later after I ate lunch. He felt weak in the legs today so we didn’t walk as far. It’s a very sunny day out still. It’s gonna be nice till the end of the week and then it’s just gonna be cloudy with chances of rain for the four days when it starts which I think is Friday or Thursday I’m not sure. I think a couple of my credit cards have come in the mail so I may go out to Melbourne tomorrow and pick that stuff up. I’m really tired today. I wish I’ve been able to take a nap, but whatever. Well, I took a 10 minute mini nap just before I left Mike’s for Yoga around 3:40 PM. Still nice outside and we’re going to Class and then going straight from Class to choir.. well, went to class with Lupe and she thought a really good class but man the room got really hot at the second half of Class. She said oh it’s not that hot in here and she was right then it got hotter right after she said that I was sucking wind at the end there. Got the rest in the shower and that made me feel a lot better and then byron was really nice and apologized about the thievery that happened at the studio late last week. He definitely put his money where his mouth was. I appreciated that. Now I’m heading to Choir where two songs were banned one Stephen Foster song, one Renyard Kipling song Foster because he did menstrual shit and Kipling because he wrote the song, he wrote a statement about the white man’s burden and colonialism, which didn’t go over very well with some members of the Choir so those songs were banned. The Philadelphia song by Kipling was terrible anyway God, that was the worst piece I had ever seen in my three years in the Choir so the reason for the band I guess was OK but there could’ve been a instructive lesson when we introduced a song acquire, but it is what it is. It’s 655. I’ve got 55% power so I shouldn’t run out of battery like I did last week the beautiful evening outside.

Friday, August 28: SSA Appt. Mike’s Appt.

Good day to everyone who reads this and to others as well. Today is Friday I got up around 7:50 AM after hitting the snooze button several times when it went off at 7:30 AM. I had some Oatmeal, gather my belongings and headed out. The water was left out so I figured I would buy some cold water somewhere during the day. Anyhow, I have I had a Social Security administration appointment at 15th and JFK Boulevard. I got there with only 5️⃣ minutes to spare. I did the online check-in and they gave me a number on my phone. I was seen right on time at 10:10 AM. I showed the woman all my various IDs and it was determined that they’re gonna change my name from Mark Krull to Marc Daniel Crowe so she literally  typed in the change of name, place of birth and said the new Medicare card with my full name would be mailed out in about 5 to 10 days. She didn’t say that, but that’s how long I think it’ll take. I bought two bottles of water on the way back for my thermos. When I got back,Mary reminded me That I should call the state of Pennsylvania to make sure they have the same ID because my medical plans going to change effective November 1 and the state has me as Mark D Krull so I have to call them and I did. When I called them I had to call SERS after calling PEBTF. The SERS woman said I had to have this form filled out so I got the form online and send it to Mary for her to type so I have to fill that out and mail it out to the Commonwealth after all that mess, I checked TSA pre-and I think they have me with just the middle initial but I can’t say I I’m going to get that uptight about it cause we’re interviewing on September 9 for global entry so that’ll probably have to be discussed as well. Anyhow, it’s now 1:04 PM in this ride, supposed to come and get us to take Mike to a doctors appointment at 2 PM about a swollen foot. Hopefully we’ll get back before 3:30. Well, it’s 2:50 PM we’re about to miss our ride back because Mike’s been in there way long time with the doctor. They looks like they’re all interns or something cause taking a long time. Well, I went in there around 2:50 PM and I knocked. The doctor said he’s gonna get blood work done and it would take 10 to 15 minutes so I immediately gave up on the 4 o’clock class. Do you guy waited an extra 10 to 15 minutes and then I just told him to go home. It’s now 3:18 PM and this young doctors taking her sweet time with Mike. I talked to Mary for about 10 minutes or so and will aim for the 5:30 PM class with loopy. It was good to talk to her and pace around cause it’s been frustrating. Just sitting in here while this Dr just eats up time. Well, the doctor did eventually allow Mike to leave. Didn’t even take the blood test found out. The doctor was a resident so he’s a doctor but needs approval from A more season to Dr. Anyway, we waited 15 minutes for the Uber. Got the Uber back. the driver was very helpful. I found out who my new coordinator was because Amanda is out having a baby. Then I logged out around 4:15 PM and I’m walking back towards Mary’s but I just found out that Mike’s phone is fixed so I’m gonna go ahead and pick up his phone since we’re not going to 4 o’clock class and probably not going to the 530 either so may as well take care of this business and get it out of the way. I’m tired probably a good day to skip the class. It’s pretty humid and stuff like that. OK, so I got his phone fixed paid for it and bought him a freaking plug and cord that might work and hopefully you won’t forget about or lose it. So I’m going back to Mary’s and I’m gonna return the phone sometime this evening I reckon.
