Monday, February 16: Mom’s burial Mark Krull

Hi. Today is Monday. It’s always Monday today. Anyhow, got up around 8:30 AM to get ready to go to the formal burial up at Holy Sepulcher 
cemetery. Well we got up on time. I went to Montreal spread bagel picked up two coffees and a bagel to split for breakfast. Then came back. Mary tooka shower and I ate my sandwich. We got slightly distracted by seeing The Simpsons in Philadelphia that was pretty funny. We then realized time was getting to us and we didn’t leave  garage till 10 of 10 or in other words 9:50 AM. It was a pretty long slide to get to the cemetery and once you got to the cemetery we got lost for 10 minutesand was late, which was extremely stressful for me. I was really stressed out and slammed the car trying to. It was very frustrating. We did get to the cemetery at our few calls from Dave. Somebody got to have got to the got us to the burial site. Once they’re the foot nerve ceremony was nice and short and sweet. We carry the casket to the To the grave. Everyone 
was there, including Larry Nussbaum he showed up. I was nice of him. We carried Dave, Mike, John, and I carried grave. I mean the casket to the
grave. There was a short prayer and we put flowers down then we said our greetings to each other and everyone went to their separate locations. After that, I dropped Mary off and headed towards the airport to drop off the rental. I first got some gas and then drove down dropped off the car and wobbled over to the airport. I had to wait about 25 minutes for the train cause I just missed one. Finally caught the train and it’s 
now 1:04 PM. I am going to arrive at suburban Station. Well, after I got off the train, I decided I was really hungry. Got myself a Gyro sandwich. Came back to Mary’s and while she was washing her hair, I just chowed down and watched TikTok for the first time in four days. That was relaxing. Next, we took a short nap and then went to 4 PM. Yoga with Brian room was pretty warm that’s for sure. It was packed as well. Close to 30 people in there at least. It is a struggle, but I got through it. Afterwards, went back to the 
Dorchester and I had it off to my meeting at ethical Society. The topic was perfectionism, which was very topic considering what happened yesterday arriving late to funeral. Mary & I relaxed, watched an episode of Law and order crashed nicely. Who is a roller coaster of a day that’s putting it mildly. I’m pretty ready to get off this

 ride and chill out in Florida boy that trip to Florida couldn’t have come in a better time after freezing our asses off for 3 1/2 weeks and then the death of my mom this is one vacation that will really feel nice and Mormon stuff 

Wednesday, February 11: Helping Dave w/ Mom Stuff

This morning, I woke up feeling a very tired, but definitely better rested than I was the night before. I got a full seven hours of sleep, whichis cool. Mary made me some delicious bacon and eggs, and I went to the café to fetch your coffee. It was quite a nice way to start the morning. I then walked most of the way to Mike’s, but I caught a 12 bus at 18th and Spruce and got off at 15th and spruce. There was only three blocks but it really saved me some time. Fortunately today’s
Wednesday it’s I can sign out late from Mike’s. I then took some pictures for Mike for a Social Security application and then Dave called and wanted me to come up there and help him out with finding mom‘s phone book so we can call people. Also to do some cleanup of her room. I’m heading out via the market Frankford 
line in the Broad Street line. It’s only 2️⃣ minutes slower than calling Uber. Uber is an option if need be. Anyhow, I got home and quickly dove into the 20 Photo Albums that my mom had to dig in some representation of her. Inadvertently of course I ran it to old pictures of myself with people such as Linda, Amsterdam and Kim Lee people I used to see back in the day. It was a trip just as I was catchingan Uber to Media. Alice called and we talked for a little bit until Dave called her. Things are gonna be moving quite fast. I also had to cancel my 2 o’clock appointment.Hopefully I won’t get charged for canceling two hours ahead of time, but I think I have a good excuse. I arrived at Dave’s, and I walked the dog with him. We just shot the shit and talked about the business at hand. He then left on an important errand and I sorted out this box of stuff she has and found some phone numbers of people that she still had communication with which was a Royal find. Also Found obituaries from ColemanSellers my grandfather on my mom side a.k.a. my grandfather. It’s now 1:20 PM I formally canceled my appointment with Hockenberry, 

and Alice called me while David was away which was cool. She was needing help writing up the obituary. I’m hoping we can finish this part of the conversation before Dave gets back. Anyway, I’m in the basement and he has his lower ceiling. I’ve bumped my head like three times. I have a nice bruise on my head or at least a little tiny one. I don’t 

even know if I’m gonna get back in time to get the Mike’s by 4:30 which is my goal at this point, but I don’t wanna cut out on Dave because well that doesn’t have to be discuss. Well, there is no way I was getting back to Mike’s. I ended up going with Dave to the funeral Director after going over Alice’s obituary for three different copies and then Dave printed out the final copy and sent it to the funeral home. I then got a ride to the Media to Media station after Dave and A funeral Director guy talked to golf for 15 minutes. After that I came back to Mary’s and there’s no way I was in the mood to do any yoga even yen and I ended up just lying down and cozying up with her and then we got up and got some Indian. Mary’s going to see the doctor tomorrow about her injuries due to her fall. That’ll be good. Tomorrow I go to the welfare office for Mike.
