Here is a run down of my day’s activities.
I start off the day by checking my iPad, first for my sleep apena results. Note today’s reading 0.9 great. Next I have some oj and cherios with raspberries and blackberries as blueberries are weigh too high. They have a new gimmick as they pack the blue berries in a larger container but it’s really the same 1 pint. At $5.99, come on, man.
Next I have a teleconference with my sleep apena Dr., the modern wonder as you don’t have to go to the office and wait. She goes over my results with me and says the machine and me are working very well. I ask her to go over the setting on the machine as I had to adjust the humidity, since it seemed I was getting water boarded. You're doing great she says see you in 6 months. Pay co pay later.
Norma's son John will take us to 14th and 4th ave, union square for her therapy session at 1230. Afterwards I will take Norma to the Polish bakery for coffee and a roll, ok I cheat and have a danish, best prices in Williamsburg.
So far so good, as I await Bri softball game which will be played in Staten Island at 430 pm. I am going to watch it on my iPad as traffic is horrendous at that time.
Suddenly, I get a call from Bris father, Richie. Game canceled, he is not happy. He informs me that Brianna will be going to Cheerleading from 6-8pm and could I pick her up as he is taking Matthias to a college fair. Ok.
I now go early to the school hoping that they finish early. As I have about 3/4 of an hour,I start reading my book on Auschwitz. Note, almost finished the authors 5 years in captivity is over, but not his post traumatic ordeal. It’s now 8 pm and no signs of the kids, I call mom and ask her if she picked up Bri? She says Bri knows you are picking her up. Terror. Finally at 825 pm Bri says she coming out. These cheerleaders practice more than the soft ball team. In January, they will be going to Disney for a tournament. Bri get in and as usual asks if we can get something to eat, as she no longer likes Mcds, we go to her favorite deli by her house for grilled chicken sandwich.
Matthias come out and asks me about Columbia, I wanted to tell him you don’t go there to play baseball but say that’s where my friends nephew went before transferring to Vanderbilt, note he went on to play 10 years in majors. One good thing about it being 9 pm is there is no traffic.
I now go home and Norma says where have you been? I change the channel to see the Phillies lose in the 11th, 2-1. As I am now eating a cup of yogurt, I check my emails,Trump is upset that I don’t respond to him, I never should have bought that hat in 2016. Next I see that the kids mom, Antoinette, has sent me two emails re first marking period and except for an 89 in Bris algebra all 100 and 99s. Are the teachers at McClancy judge fans with the 99s?
Question how many women other than Antoinette Funicello do you know with that name? After all these years, I am a 5 year old boy upstairs at 4911 69st and mom is making me sunnyside up eggs, I loved the way the end was crispy. Never was able to do that.
Well, almost finished, but before that I check to see how the Giants are doing against The eagles. What they beat the Super Bowl champs, now that’s another story.
I almost forgot that some where between all this , I took Norma to bank and tried to have her son put on her account, even though I know her passcode. Prior to this at another branch the female rep said technically I was not supposed to do her banking.Funny the ITM machine, never said you are not Norma. Can you imagine Baba going to an itm machine. Different world.
It’s not over as Norma ask I could stop at the pharmacy to get her non diabetic cough syrup.
Ok, with all this when did I take my 9 pm meds? I carry backup meds in my wallet
Now that I have either amused or bored you , have a good day, as Richie for now is picking up the kids today. If you think this is too much, Remember, the Lord only gives you what you can handle.
Forgot, as I was driving to school, the song Forever Young came on the radio as Brianna must have switched the channels.
Ps . 15 days to Daemen first gave, October 25, the day I joined the NYPD. Going to be hard to watch without # 3 in lineup.
Bri softball coach gave her #20 shirt, she was always #1 but will have to wait until his daughter graduates. At least unlike Matthias she is playing.*
