Thursday July 17: Songs of the Menstrual Choir

Hi, this is Mark and today I got up at 7:30 AM. I knew it was one thing in this website if I leave something hanging without seeing

it will disappear. I got up at cereal shake about Mary and headed out to Mike’s. I did laundry and had lunch just recently. It’s pretty damn hot outside. The neighbor Jorden offered to allow people to use 

his lockbox while I’m gone so they can get in the house while I’m gone. That’s very nice of me. A good dude and his girlfriend is nice too. I had a super coffee. Mike’s expecting a physical therapist

 at one and I ordered some Amazon stuff that’s supposed to be coming between the hours of one and 3 PM. well, the physical therapist showed up around 1:20 PM and then my Amazon stuff showed

 up around 2:15 PM. Put all that stuff away. Mike did a lot better on his exercises today than he did on Tuesday. That was a good thing. Then after I put all the food away and eat some of the fruit that I brought charged up, my 
phone came up with more questions for the specialist that I’m 

seeing next Tuesday. Anyhow, I went to get Mike his Scripps after a little bit of 

quiet and then just when I was gonna leave at 3:35 PM Mike’s Mom’s

 Meals came so I had to empty out the box of the ice, the Styrofoam and the

 box and then bring up the food and I did as fast as I can. I also

 made his bed earlier in record time. You know the fitted sheet, which can 

be a challenge, but I guess the more I do it the better I get at it I 

suppose so I’m not gonna be walking in late to class. My hustle and I wasn’t

 late for class thankfully. I got there on time. Mary put out a towel for me and I went to 

class. I was a bit exhausted and a victim of the humidity before class and it was 

pretty warm in there. Loopy taught to class and it was a challenge, but I made it through. That was a good thing. Mary and I hung out at the studio for a while and then we called it some Indian and walked back to Mary’s place. It was quite delightful. We got back relaxed, and then I went and got the food and Mary decided to go to an online meeting and I’ve been ran and tried to catch a bus to get there by 8 o’clock, BBC which was impossible because I kept just missing certain buses so I finally got the 33 bus at 20th andRay Street and so I won’t get there till at least 8:08 PM but what can I do? I didn’t feel like paying for Uber this evening 

Wednesday, April 30: Sketch Club, and Photos

Well, after sleeping very well overnight, I got up pretty groggy and headed on down to Mike’s for work. I was a little bit late but 


Wednesday is one day that it’s OK to be late cause I go to the 5:30 PM class instead of the 4 o’clock class. I ran into someone from the


studio who went to Leo 6:30 AM class. I got the Mike’s and thought maybe I was picking up a check for him, but that never happened. I then went back to Millbourne because I forgot to 

leave a check for Pat For my May rent so that I had to take care of on the way back from Millbourne, I went to the Sketch Club to see if I had two photographs there and lo and behold

 they were there believe it or not. I was. I felt very fortunate that I caught him while they’re open. Also found out they have

 another open call for that’s due in two weeks for a show that the topic is food. I think got back to Mike’s and the person never called him back to pick up a check. Mike 

got a call from a nurse that was going to visitso I stayed for that. I am dropping off a photo to the frame shop that that the woman said she would display and put up 

for sale. It’s a very mild day. It’s about 2:07 PM. I dropped off the photograph 

and it’s gonna be for sale for $200 and the original print our frame is gonna 

be $70 with a nice little chitchat and then I laughed and I’m 

heading to CVS pick up Mike script and Diet Pepsi. After that, I’m just gonna finish 

off the rest of Mike’s visit. I’m gonna pick up the two large Gatorade 

on the way to Mary’s. I gotta remember to do that. It’s 50% off the second one 

when you buy two of them and I have to buy two of them for the 

Prep. Well, well, well… It didn’t take long for Trump to fuck up the economy. The US  had a negative growth rate this past quarter which 

is the worst since 2022 in the recovery from Covid and high inflation. 

It’s amazing what one guy can do to the economy. I can’t believe that the law 

allows the president not Congress do all this bullshit with the

 terrace. Congress is almost next to useless!! I finished off at Mike’s and he was trying to take a nap. And then signed

 out late because I showed up late. I then went to the CVS and got 228 ounce Gatorade

 plus a 12 ounce and stuffed them in my backpack along with the MiraLAX or at least

 a generic equivalent of MiraLAX. I’m headed out this backpack pack of the girls it’s now

 4:05 PM heading down Locust towards right Rittenhouse Square. Maryann and 

I got back to her place at the same time we mellow it out. I had some 

iced tea and she just finished a massage. She decided that would be best to rest and I had it down to the studio where Dan
 is teaching  class. After Dan’s class is the Wednesday night yin 

class that used to be taught by Linda for a year and a half or so. It’s still pretty mild outside. I went to Dan’s 

class and it was pretty full in there. He didn’t even turn on the humidity

 because it was pretty humid. Afterwards, I took a quick shower, joined Mary at the end. Class taught by Hanalei. The class 
was pretty good. The music was well done for sure. I found that my shoulders are really stiff, especially my right shoulder.
