Back at work after a night of uneasy sleep which was preceded by several nights of very good sleep.

Saturday morning I woke up, did my usual routine and went to the big supermarket a little bit earlier than usual, got the items I needed and waited for Mike to arrive on the bus and then he sent a text asking if I could provide a Lyft which I did with some reluctance.

Mike arrived and it went well. I hadn’t seen him in over a week and it seemed a lot longer than that. We talked for a bit and then we walked over to the mall to see Superman which we both enjoyed a lot.

Mike had some money and wanted to buy me a present and insisted that I do not object but I was able to side step the gift since I preferred it if he had money he should spend it on himself and not me. The intention was wonderful but it was not to be he bought a few shirts he bought some pants and then we walked back to Hoboken in the Twilight.

Superman was very good. We both were impressed with Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane as well as Krypto the Superdog. The 3D was very good as well.

We hung out and we got home to watch YouTube Superman reviews on TV and awaited Bill’s arrival which was not happening.

Sunday was nice. The weather continued to be perfect somewhat. I did my bicycle ride of about 12.5 miles. Mike sat in the apartment waiting for my arrival which was happening. Bill spent the night at the garage and was not in the best physical shape and did not get much rest.

I saw my neighbors Joe and Ann across the street and Joe was letting me know that a neighbor had died in his bed and was not found for a day or two and Joe seemed very concerned for my well-being which was nice to hear.

I came home after the bike ride showered and soon Mike and I were taking a walk around Hoboken which average stuff to be 4.5 mi. After that I made dinner and Mike took a nap for about 3 hours on the couch. I sat at my computer doing whatever it is I do on my computer.

After that Mike did wake up and that was just as I was winding down I left him on the couch to do whatever he does on the couch.
Mike still has that tooth problem and I guess he’s not going to do anything about it until the pain flares up again worse than it was the previous time. Of course he cannot be told this so it’s a weighted wait and see to see how that goes on. He did have a plan to go to the ER this morning to have it removed but he did not.

The PATH train was suspended this morning due to initial smoke conditions at the Newark Penn station and then turned out to be Newport where there was actually a fire. I had to take the bus and pay for a ticket, which was not needed since New Jersey Transit was honoring the PATH train, and I was an idiot for buying a ticket. I know if I did not buy a ticket, I’d be asked for a ticket, so I bought a ticket and was not asked. The bus was crazy crowded, as was the R train. I got to work 2 minutes after 8:00 a.m.

Hardly anybody in the office, and it is very quiet, but I should not take comfort in that.

Yet another odd day today is August 1st Friday. I just spent the last hour shovelling salad into my mouth and running around the building looking for a fan that I bought the other day. it was delivered to my building just as the freight elevator was closed nobody knew anything nobody knew where or what and I was on a wild goose chase. those wild geese are crazy

Took a while but I finally got it but in the midst of running Marcus informed me that Livia oh Livia was looking and made a phone call that no one picked up and I texted him back and I said where or who did she call I haven’t received any word from him so I don’t know what’s going on with that
More paranoia fuel to add to the paranoia fire. Like I said yesterday there’s some things I shouldn’t talk about and since I found the mistake before anybody else did I’ve been on it like a hawk today but still I don’t know if that achieves anything I just look and look and look I wait and wait and wait and I don’t know anything.

Mike is going through some terrible tooth problems and with no insurance and no money He’s left to deal with it on his own he might be going to the emergency room for an extraction. This happened months ago and he didn’t do anything about it and now it’s back and it’s worse.

I’ve been through that myself but it was over 30 years ago things were different I went to a place in Union City to doctor said I could pull it it’ll be $100 or I could do a root canal which it cost $700 and I said pull it and he did any warned me that it would do damage to my teeth later on he was right about that. And now here I am with prosthetic teeth but it wasn’t so much the removal of the teeth was more of a gum thing.

Now I sit in my spot. The rains came last night and cleared everything like the heat out so it’s comfortable and balmy at best. When I get back to my desk I’m going to find out whether or not I should contact Livia oh Livia, I’ll ask Marcus about that.

I don’t think they realize that I do take a lunch but I usually eat my lunch at my desk going over various things as I am eating. That might be frowned upon I guess I’ll find out. And here I thought today was going to be an easy day and now I am not so sure.

As soon as I’m done adding 51 words to this I will give Mike a call to see how he is doing and probably throw away the cigar which is a good cigar but not the best cigar. Other than that it makes me want to holler throw up both my hands.

I did hear from Jimmy Chile who advised me that Livia oh Livia’s call is nothing to be worried about and yet I’m worried. And of course Jimmy was correct there was nothing to worry about since the call was all about Marcus and had nothing to do with me.
