Wednesday, November 5: I am 64 Years Old

Happy 64th birthday to me hooray! Smiley face. Anyway, after not getting enough sleep I got up around 8:15 AM and went to Mike’s. Did a little bit and then brought in some stuff that he had ordered. I needed to do laundry so I went to the check cashing place that I always go to and they did not have any quarters. It was hard to believe but they did not have any quarters at all, which is quite unbelievable. So I had to walk down to my bank and get a roll of quarters. They were very agreeable and didn’t even verify that I was a customer there. So by the time I did that it was 11 o’clock so I killed time at the coffee shop for a while and looked at election results which were very good 4 the Democrats. They won the governors of New Jersey and Virginia by nice double digit margins and they won prop 15 California. They also did really well in the assembly seats in Virginia and all three judges were retained that were Democrats. That was really good news. Of course the Maga are going completely apeshit. Well I eventually started Mike’s laundry. There’s a shit ton of laundry🧺 To be done and I put them in there and then the next step was to get Mike’s phone working again. I first had to go to my 2 PM appointment. I got that done and we talked about my father at a little bit and then after that I went to Mike’s and he called the wireless company. They activated his phone and I was able to remove the SIM card and put it right in and his phone works!! It’s a miracle I got it to work. Now his computer is acting up and not working but hopefully he’ll resolve that it’s now 4:42 PM. And I’m just walking down from the CVS where they don’t have my script prescribed for some reason so the doc has to call the pharmacy. I’m gonna go to Mary’s and take a nap and then we’re gonna go to Janine at seven.

Tuesday, November 4: Rehab Election Day Voting, Yoga & Choir

Good day everybody. I slept pretty well and woke up around 7:40 AM. Had some breakfast with cereal. Woke up Mary and headed out down to Mike’s. I just read on the news that 

former Vice President Dick Cheney died at the age of 84. He was a very controversial, Vice President. In this same age, you will not be 

celebrated by the Republican Party of Donald Trump. The Republican party has gone completely crazy. Anyhow, I got the Mike’s and he’s 

thinking if firing David the guy on the weekends cause he seems to be mentally unstable. I can I can relate to that. Anyhow, Mike did order his phone. He said it’s coming tomorrow but we will see. 

Did a little bit of cleaning up and ate a yogurt and then it was time for me to take Uber to the rehab. I went to McGee rehab and the session 

went pretty well. I was with the pregnant therapist. I go to every Tuesday now went pretty well. The session went pretty fast and I decided I would because the 29 bus cause it came about 8️⃣ minutes earlier

than the 64 bus. Only problem with this bus it just goes straight out Tasker where I catch the bus in Columbus Boulevard. So it was a 

straight shot to Broad task or so I just have to catch the Broad Street like walking is really not worth it at that length. Play well I got back from my rehab and it was time to get Mike ready to go 

to the Kimmel center and vote. We walked a at 300 S. fraud. Mike was not a very happy camper. When he got there, he got peed with the pole workers because they put the polling place away in the back of the 

Kimmel Center not upfront and he let him know his feelings about it, but it’s hard for him to vote when they put it back there. After he voted, we were very lucky that a 4️⃣ bus just happened to be in the next corner 

in the we were also fortunate. There was a person in a wheelchair getting off the bus you were able to catch the bus right on time. That saved a lot of time saved about at least 15 minutes more like

 20 minutes now it’s my turn to go for it once you get Mike upstairs. Well, I got Mike upstairs and I walked

to 15th St. towards the EL. I’m going catch it at 69th St. and take the 107 bus going there but 

coming back might be a different story depending how long. it takes for me to vote and what the schedule is like when I get there. I may Uber 

to 69th St. that might be the best plan. Well, I took the market Frankford line and then I caught the 107. I had about 10 minutes to spare so I grabbed a couple quick snacks. 107 took me right to the voting place. 

I had 10 minutes to vote before the returning bus was due. Mind you this bus runs every half hour to an hour so I had to catch it. The ballot was pretty long. It was two sided piece of paper. We had 

to fill in dots and then slip it through a machine. Well, I did that and managed to catch the bus with two minutes to spare thank God for that because that’ll get me to Mike’s by 3 o’clock, assuming I caught 

the EL in 12 minutes it’s now 2:19 PM. I have 4% left on my battery so the phone’s gonna die out on the way to Mike’s. I decided to drop off at Millbourne 

and charge my phone and hit the head. I charged it up to about 15% to get myself back to Mike’s sign out and then sign up for the yoga class. I’m on the 

EL right now. It’s 2:50 PM I’m in West Philly 52nd St. well, three or 3 PM waiting for the Broad Street line to show up. The last two days have been a lot of running around. Today basically went to Rehab came back

from Rehab on the bus. Walked to Mike to vote & and then went out to Drexel Hill to vote myself and now in the midst of returning back to Mike’s to charge up my phone for a little bit and pack my stuff 

for the 4 o’clock yoga class. Well, I got the Mike’s around 3:15 PM charged up my phone to about 34% through a couple things out and got a late start leaving for the yoga class. Evan is substituting today. 

It’s been a very lovely day outside. Perfect day to do this kind of running around. Very thankful that it did not rain or have windy cold weather or would’ve been really difficult. It’s at 3:46 PM. I am at 15th 

and Spruce Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Well, Evan‘s class is pretty good. I had trouble finding mirror and I allowed myself to get a little frustrated in the beginning of class, but I got over 

pretty quick. It was pretty warm, not quite as warm as yesterday, but it was warm enough. I did my poses OK. Afterwards, Byron interviewed me for some social media post you might put up interviewed someone else as well. Just hung out for a little bit 

and then I just got the urge to leave cause I didn’t wanna be super rushing around before rehearsal. Mary treated me to a nice bowl of delicious food. It’s just frozen food that tastes really fresh. I really didn’t have much of a lunch today so it was good to fill my belly with something. Anyhow, I’m so thankful to mild night because walking to choir when it’s cold as a drag, let’s put it frankly. Well, so far election day looked pretty good with prop 50 passing the Democrats maintaining the judges and the Democrats one governorships in Virginia and New Jersey.

Monday, November 3: Ridiculous! Mike’s eye appointment in West Philly, Dentest, and Yoga

This morning I woke up after a decent night of sleep or I went to bed between 10:15 PM to 10:30 PM. I dreamt my ass off about weird stuff 

that I can’t really remember. I think got up around 7:30 AM and got myself ready and got a bunch of food stuff ready to drag to Mike’s. I tried to order at Mike’s and I wasn’t there in time this week. Looks 

like the kind of week that getting an order and being at Mike’s at the right time might be difficult so I dragged a whole bunch of stuff on the train and got to Mike’s around 8:50 AM. Mike had some

complaints about the guy who comes on the weekends. He ran Ted about me and complained about that and acted strange. He might’ve even stolen one of Mike’s OxyContin, but he’s not exactly sure. 

Anyhow, we got Mike to get ready and we took the Uber out to the Shea Eye Institute. Each you expected to get there at 9:45 AM for a 10 AM appointment. They finally saw Mike in the back at 10:53 AM. 

That place at one point was packed people waiting in line. All the people were 60 and a who went to this appointment. Lotta cataracts I guess. Anyhow, I then Walk to 40th St. and caught the market Frankford 

line at 40th and market. That was about a 2 1/2 block walk. Blocks are a bit long up that way. I saw one guy jumped to turnstiles like a big loser. Told the guy in the ticket booth and he just acknowledged me 

and that was about it. Anyway, I decided to get some rip off pizza at 16th St. near Chestnut. You know Joe’s Pizza I never go here cause it’s a rip 

off, but it was the quickest meal I could get that was easy to eat before the dentist appointment. I might be getting fluoride so I just wanted 

to eat while I could. Well, everything checked out at the dentist office. I did ask them about the $109.40 that I got billed online for their new 

computer system. They say they’re going to look at it. I then left the dentist office and decided I had to walk to Mike’s because I had 8% left on my battery when I got to Mike’s I threw out the bags from the 

Amazon deliveries he got and charged up my phone to about 26% it’s it’s now 1 PM. I’m gonna catch the train at Broad and lumbar and take it 

north to City Hall and then take the train to 40th St. and see where Mike’s progress is. I must’ve just missed one cause I think I waited here. 

The Market Frankford station for freaking 10 minutes. They did make some minor sign changes in the train station is now 1:19 PM. Mary at this time‘s 

getting a massage done so that’s good for her. The train eventually didn’t come and I got up at 40 Street around 1:26 PM. Still cloudy but it’s not raining which is a damn good thing considering

all the walking around I’m doing. To the hospital, Michael was waiting. He had been there for about an hour.. They’re gonna have two operations 

of one on each side. And they’re gonna call him when we’re ready to see him. P.m. we just got picked up by the Uber. 

Well, we got home and Mike made it in and we were settling in. I gotta get some drugs for him at the ready-made pharmacy the independent pharmacy that is. Just heard the news that the Trump administration 

is going to release SNAP for November but only half the amount for all the recipients. They’re saying it’s gonna take more than a week to get the benefits out according to this news article that I read from NPR. hi, I just 

picked up the Pharmacy stuff at the Health on South pharmacy which is an alternative pharmacy on South Street. It’s a funky little street with all kinds of stores, restaurants, and massage places. It is a 

knickknack of stuff here now I can notice the sun definitely lower by an hour how about that. Anyway, next stop is a CVS. Well, I went to the CVS and Mike and I each had one script. I had the Reva statin. I got 

some kind of drug and then I got back to Mike’s and lo and behold us 3:34 PM is trying to pack my stuff. My Gatorade isn’t as cold as usual because Mike 

had unplugged his refrigerator but it’s cold enough for a hot class. I signed up for class. It’s 3:50 PM. I’m just about to climb up the steps to the studio. Well, I went to the 4 o’clock class and then that room 

was hot today! So well attended class and a good class as well. Mary and I hung out at the studio for a while to rest up and socialize

a little bit. Period we then went back to her place. Talked about going to New York the weekend before Thanksgiving. So that’s I think we’re gonna do that for each other and we’re gonna 

give ourselves cards birthday cards. I’ve been went to the MONDAY Night Beginners and oh my God I first got really tired like I could’ve just lied down that couch and passed out. And then I got very hungry. It was hard to pay attention, but I did turn in the tokens and I’m gonna have to order more because they’re out of 3️⃣ month coins and they’re running low on others. Oh, I can’t wait to eat those samosas Yum Yum.
