Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Even though I was tired from not sleeping the best the other
night and we were sleeping with the window ajar last night it turned out to be
one of the worst night’s sleep that I’ve had in a long time. After laying awake
for over an hour I went to do some reading on the computer. When I’m not in bed
Kathy senses that and her quality of sleep is also affected. By the time I started
feeling tired enough to sleep I still layed in bed awake for another hour. Of
course when you don’t sleep when you are supposed to your body makes you sleep
in to compensate for the lost sleep. It was like an alarm went off that woke
the both of us at 9:45 this morning. We
have never slept in this late before!
After a light breakfast and very little time at the
computers I was scrambling to close up the workshop that I had set up in the
living room. I had to pack up the containers that would be stored in the
basement of the trailer. Kathy once again made a light lunch for us consisting
of grilled cheese sandwiches that really hit the spot.
Kathy then helped me by opening doors while I carried the
trailer cart down the stairways and when we got to the truck reached through to
safely guide it on the backseat for transporting it. On the way back to the
apartment we used one of the shopping carts downstairs in the building to load
the containers and other things that needed to be brought to the truck and
returned to the trailer.
It was nearly 1:30 before we left but we had a stop to make
before going to the trailer. We stopped at our friends Kathie and Ross’s where
a few weeks ago I had measured their cabinets where the doors were pulling the
screws out of the soft wood trim. Even though Ross is still recovering from his
heart attack he was there giving me nails and screws while I installed oak trim
to the cabinet. I needed to do a few adjustments due to the close proximity of
drawer glides but luckily I had my oscillating tool in the truck which made
shorter work of the adjustment than if I’d had to use a file. They were
extremely happy with the repairs and that their kitchen is now looking more
normal.
It was nearly 4:30 when we left and Kathy and I were
starting to feel hungry and there was still more work to do so we stopped at
Taco Bell for a couple of tacos each to eat. Kathy had noticed that she had
been starting to have a head ache but that it went away after we ate.
Our next stop was the storage yard and the trailer. After I turned
the power on Kathy spread the slides out. While she did that I was unloading
the containers from the truck. Once she was ready she helped me unload the cart
and bring it into the trailer. She busied herself putting away the linens and
towels that we had also brought from the apartment while I repacked the
basement. I then had to drill holes in the breadbox that I recently made for
the trailer so I could mount the new weather gauges on it. It was past 6:30 by
the time we got back to the apartment.
As we tried to watch the local news the Satellite signal
kept kicking out due to an upcoming overnight storm. With that we went to the
computers and I truly appreciated the comments about the water/bookshelf cart. It
feels good to start getting ready for our departure earlier than we did last
year.
There’s still more cleaning to do around the apartment but
it is nice having our living room back. Tomorrow is another day and we’ll see
what we can do. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
