by alcohol. I'd one commenter's said say "but smokers are ostracized."

19th Street Trolley

Well if the heat is turned up quite a bit as of 9:00 AM.
I post on Facebook yesterday about Michael Kors purses today I am going to ask about what the word Nee-Nee means. I think it's slang but I'm not sure

. I think I should get an answer to that question. I think Facebook's a good form to ask oddball questions like this one. I'm glad I wore my shorts and T-shirt coming into work. It's pretty

warm. Some reason the coffee just not hitting my stomach right but at least I have some yogurt to eat. Work was okay today. The one too many cash applications today and that enabled me to actually clean

my desk up somewhat. I shadowed a new caseworker to our unit doing to me interviews. I realized I did not even finish a list that I had started three weeks ago. But I finished

Market Street

work @  5:30 PM. My next stop is to meet my AA speaker at the milk and honey coffee at 4th and Lombard. Dean's not too pleased about who I chose but beggars cannot be choosers. I don't  feel real

refreshed but I'll survive. I've been hot all day really second switches and some short. I also got my black sneakers  from under my desk. You know  they've been there since there were salt on the sidewalk.

I'm now back in my shorts meeting my speaker at the coffee shop. I hope the coffee gives me a left. my ass is dragging a bit right now. How are you doing?? How do how is it going with Jill. Hope you're well take care. I

hope the coffee and whatever food they provide that give me a little temporary lift. I ended up walking on fourth ever got off the album. I proceeded to walk the entire time from Chestnut to a little bit past Lombard. I'm thankful I have sneakers and they made it a little bit better and there's a bit of a breeze. But I have

meditation. That was no mean feat I think I did okay. Well it went okay Dean was there and that was cool. Then we went down to eighth and Walnut and hung out at the Starbucks. It's probably

Dean @ 8th and Walnut Starbucks

the worst Starbucks in terms of atmosphere but I've been to in Center City. I just had an orange soda and some fruit and we chatted for a while dinner. After that we took the 21 maybe catch a late meeting at the 19th and Chestnut but nothing is happening. It's going to karaoke and I'm going home. I'm tired. I just want some quiet had some orange juice and Seltzer

Sunrise Outside My Window

It is Thursday, June 26. It's the day before payday and there is still a foot of flash floods because it's going to get hot again today. The Philly Summer has truly arrived in June is ready to leave us. In local Philly news, the city just exempted SEPTA from having to

pay 22 million in back taxes. This is part of an agreement for SEPTA to clean up the concourse in City Hall near 15th St. The State House has passed it's version of the state budget. It appears to use short-term fixes to balance the budget. Predictably Republicans loved it and Democrats hated

it. The State Senate and the Governor still need to approve a budget BEFORE the June 30th deadline. Today its US vs. Germany in the World Cup. The game starts at Noon today. The US needs a win or draw to advance to the next round in Brazil. This could

be very exciting.

think I might get used of it!! Went to the wanted 13th and Pine maps of that I caught the 21 2/19 and Walnut was another big book and that was pretty intense too. They're

both very enjoyable and give me a lot to think about. I then came home had the place to myself since I was just too tired even thinking of doing karaoke specialist starts at 10. This thunderstorm is sweeping through I just talked on the phone and now it's time to retire

Simply put it simply I'm just repeating patterns of relationships back when I was a kid going after unavailable people. She based on my early relationships when I was a kid. Heck after all she does  Freudian psychology. She mixes the cognitive as well which I think works. Time will tell of course.
