It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Cable Down.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

After the Cyst ruptured yesterday afternoon, not only did I have to repeatedly replace the Dressing, but my Shirts as well. Now the Laundry Hamper smells like I have for the past week. The good thing was the pressure under my Arm was down to zero. It allowed me to start my night in my Recliner and finish it Bed without all the Discomfort.

Kathy was awake shortly after I started getting thing ready to cook breakfast. We enjoyed Over Easy Eggs on Toast before heading to the Computers, with our Coffees.

We were barely settled in when Danielle the Pharmacist from Health First Pharmacy called. When Chris (the other Pharmacist) had spoken to the Clinic yesterday, he had not spoken to the same Doctor I had seen. So the one he spoke to just figured it was okay to take the old Antibiotic with the new. Luckily he left a note to the Doctor I had seen and he immediately called to say "Don't do that". Good thing I had only taken one this morning.

Another thing she told me was to not use the Hydrogen Peroxide to draw out the Infection, because she said, it slows down the healing process. Even though the Size has deminished considerably, there is still Golfball Sized Lump in it's place. With more appointments this week, I'll have them check it out.

Working hard to clean out the Freezer, we had Perogies for lunch, before getting back to the Computers. We were going to check one of the Canadian New Medias around 2:00, because of things flashing across our Computers, when suddenly we ended up with an empty screen. It did not matter what channel we tried to tune into, they were all the same. Amazingly, the bottom of the screen showed what channel it was and what should be on, but there was no transmission going through.

I tried calling Cogeco but when the Automated Answering System says "Due to high caller volume the next operator will be available in approximately Three Hours" I just hung up. Of course, our Internet is also connected through Cable, so we were dead in the water. We had to wait for Technical Services to do their magic.

We used to have Bell Satellite, before we went Fulltiming and had more problems than with Cable. If a small cloud passed to the south of the building, we got dropped. It was a nightmare.

With Plans to do some restocking today, we headed out just after 4:00 to give the School Busses time to get off the road. As we passed through the front Lobby, Cogeco Technicians were going through the Untility Room checking all the feed lines. Going out the rear entrance, there was the big Truck with all the Techs checking their Meters. Luckily, the breeze was Lite enough, our Jackets were more than enough to wear.

I'm not sure if this is happening in the United States, but this week in Canada, Tim Horton's is selling what are called Smile Cookies and all proceeds from their sales is distributed to Local Charities, Food Banks along with the Summer Camps. I wanted to support them last year, but still recovering from my Hip Surgery, it didn't happen. Today, we had Chicken Wraps with Decaffeinated Coffees for supper and walked out with a Dozen Smile Cookies in a box.

Our next stop was to Dollarama, where we restocked of Brisk Iced Tea and Breakfast Juice. We'll do the Groceries tomorrow.

Back home the Cogeco Service Truck with its flashing lights was on the road in front of our building. Inside, we still have no Television or Internet. There is an upside to this problem, I have written the Blog earlier than most nights, now only if the Technicians get things working.

Surprise our Cable System just came on with Fifteen Minutes to go before Midnight.
