Wednesday, December 31: Housing Appl. for Mike. Midnight Yoga.

This morning, I allowed Mary’s alarm to get me up around eight but her alarm never went off so I ended up waking up on my own around 8:30 AM. I think the extra sleep was needed so that’s what I did. I 



then left with Mary and went to the convenient store. She picked up a sandwich and I got a couple bananas tea for breakfast once I got the Mike’s a new issue came up where he broke the monitor to his 

computer. It doesn’t come up anymore. So we tried to work around that he had to camp camp so he’s 11 o’clock appointment. I threw a load of laundry in the wash and the dryer and then went off to mail

off applications for three housing developments and pick up an application for John Fox tower housing which is right on 22nd Chestnut. Caught two 

buses, which gave me an extra 15 minutes of time so once I did that, I went down to Staples and hung out there for a while printed out copies for of Mike’s Social Security card and his drivers license for these damn places. 

One of the places had rejected his application because he didn’t have one so I didn’t want to deal with inconveniencing Mary and have her print them out. So I just went ahead to Staples and glue

some money on those they’re all colored copies unnecessary but that’s what I did. I then went to the post office to mail off the three items. 

It’s now 12:47 AM. Still haven’t finished yesterday‘s blog posting and I’m hungry. I’m gonna work till 4:25 PM, which is about the time I came

in earlier around 9:25 AM. It’s pretty damn cold out here. My brother John called me to tell me he’s visiting an early March. He’s only going to 


visit her for your car he gets off from work so I guess they don’t like giving people off from work even though we’re a grown ass people. Anyway,

my shoulder is uncomfortable, but it’s not the degree of pain it was earlier. I just got notification that my Amazon fresh order is arriving between 1 PM and 2:15 PM. That’s because I have three stops 

left but he’s way out in West philly so I have time to eat lunch warm up and see if Mike’s made any progress on its bullshit. I came home & and the CPAP delivery man called and then he showed up and 



he’s instructing my cat to use his new CPAP machine. At the same time my Amazon delivery came and I saw Rob and he asked me if I was going to yoga tonight. My shoulder is feeling a little bit better

pain wise, which is a good thing. Anyhow, I end up going to CVS and getting my cough syrup, orange juice and some ice cream. He’s been coughing a lot. Hopefully this new CPAP machine machine will help. 

I Then got Mike’s laundry out of the dryer and some of it was damp because there was so much laundry in one of the washers doesn’t spin dry very well. Then left Mike’s around 4:30 PM because I came 

in close to 9:30 PM. Then lie down and mellow out with Mary for a little bit I didn’t sleep, but we’re gonna have a little dinner before 10:30 PM Yoga I think we’re gonna try to get there in three hours at 9:30 PM. Mary and I then had some lentil soup and I had a bowl and that was really good. We also planned our itinerary for our trip to Manhattan bright and early 6 AM train. We’re gonna go to 



the upper west side and then we’re gonna go to the Dakota and then we’re gonna go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That is our itinerary. We are going to tap breaks because it’s gonna be 20° to start 

today and the high temperature is going to be 31°. I got to buy some thermals Friday. Anyhow, we got the class and we were one of the first people in there so we got to relax which was really good. It 

was good to get the thermal heat and stuff. Once class started, I noticed there was all these young women like it more than half to people were new. It was pretty wild. I modified the hell out of some 

of my poses and that helped I think. Afterwards, we hung out for a little while and then it was time to leave since it was getting late. It was 



pretty festive I must say. We then got back and then got ready to go to bed. I’m gonna sleep in late tomorrow For Mike I’m gonna get out of get the Mike’s by around 9:30 a.m..

Saturday, December 31: Cleaning, Rest, Dinner Out & Midnight Yoga

I got up around 9:20 AM since the cleaning lady was going to be coming at 9:30 AM. Turns out she was running late so I ran into Pat.he got his motorcycle 
with a sidecar delivered back to his place. He gave me more information about his getting in Nissan pathfinder. His car exhaust would cost $2500. plus 

he has an alternator that’s starting to go. He figured he would get a 

car for $2000 rather make those repairs. He’s thinking of just keeping it in the 

garage so he can tinker around with it. If I really need a car 

bad, I can get a good deal on the car but I doubt I’ll do that because it has over 

190,000 miles on it. The interior is really grainy. The exterior is in decent shape because he 

got new wheels repainted it, etc. Petro me to the ATM to get money out of the TD Bank ATM that’s located

 at 63rd St. near arch. After I did that I cleaned around the house and 

decided I would take a nap. That’s what I did. After the nap and decided to ego 

down center city for a little bit. There was a train leaving from Jefferson

 station. That would take me directly to Ardmore in less than 45 minutes. I’m not 

sure if my senior fare card I got from Larry is gonna last past tomorrow. 

Will have to see. Anyway, I caught the train on time and the fog is really intense outside. This train has a lot of kids on 
it so I guess they went to Christmas village or something. People are still populating the nation. Anyhow, the train showed up on time and was very efficient
and got me to Ardmore around 4:12 PM. I managed to remember the innards of the vacuum cleaner so Lynne could clean it up. She wanted to clean this thing up, so I brought it 

with me. I managed not to leave it somewhere stupid. Anyhow, we have dinner at 5 o’clock. It’s a place in Bryn Mawr called WHITE HOUSE TAJIN. Looks really delicious. Looking forward to it. 
I got it! Anyhow, I’m going to have a super coffee before we go out because I want to get that pack of energy. Hopefully 

the rain will get any harder. Right now it’s not too bad we won’t get wet in it as I have proven. This restaurants definitely

 funky. It looks pretty cool I want to technically see a movie at the Bryn Mawr movie theater and then go to this place which is totally Greek and Mediterranean. Prices don’t seem to be so bad either. This is a Moroccan

 place in the food has been delicious. They bring the smell out that bubbling boiling hot. It 
is now 6:16 PM. We should be done by seven so we have about four hours for the food to digest before 11 o’clock yoga class.. well we got the train on time, and we showed up about an hour ahead of time due to the public

 transit, werewolf reading to be let in, I realize the train I thought was running that leaves at 1 AM isn’t leaving at 1 AM so we may have to take the market Frankford line or some bullshit.
 They’re dressing up the upstairs fourth floor room with lights. There were two or three people already in a building setting up ahead 

 of time. I thought there might be people there because the sign was already out. We had a discussion about Facebook, 
and then proceeded to  change door outfit and safe spot in the room. Well, this is the end of my Block posting. I will be in the yoga studio for the rest of 

remains of 2022. There’s an hour and a half left happy new year everybody. Well, your glass was really fun and joyous. We did miss the 1:00 AM train and then we were kind of 

stuck because everything stopped running but Pat save the day picked us up. Thank God for that. Friend in 

need is a friend indeed.
