Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Another restful
night’s sleep and I was once again laying in bed for nearly an hour before
getting up before 6:30 this morning. I had finished my morning reading and
started getting breakfast ready by the time Kathy woke up. We ate breakfast
looking out the balcony door at the rain that was being driven by yet again
another windy day. On the Weather Network they were showing videos of damage
that was caused by yesterday’s wind throughout the southern portion of Ontario.
More wind was forecasted for today but with less intensity.
We were out the door
by 9:30 heading across town using Tecumseh Road. We seemed to be lucking out
hitting green traffic lights all the way to the Credit
Union where we needed to do some banking. I was the first in line
for an entire minute when another teller opened up speeding up our transaction.
Back on the road we were again cruising along with more green traffic lights
until we arrived to the Walker Road Medical
Plaza where I had an appointment. The lineup of traffic trying to
get in was fairly long but it cleared just in time for me to make the turn.
When I saw the
doctor he had already reviewed my file and was going to book me for testing in
the New Year so I kind of fibbed and told him we are normally gone after Christmas Day until the end of April. (I didn’t tell
him we were staying home this winter.) His receptionist was able to schedule my
testing for next Tuesday because someone else had just cancelled.
It was still raining
even though we had been inside for all of twenty-five minutes. That meant we
had plenty of time to go back to the Passport
Office in downtown Windsor. Again it just seemed that the traffic
lights were helping us out and before we knew it we were arriving at our
destination. The wind was really blowing so I dropped Kathy off at the door and
told her to get our number in case other people would come in while I went to
park the car. It was ten minutes before I got upstairs and the place was packed
with people but Kathy was sitting down. There had only been two people ahead of
her when she arrived and everyone else had piled in right after she’d gotten
our placement ticket. I wasn’t even seated for a minute when we were called up.
Fifteen minutes later and we were on our way to our next stop but with the
intense wind I brought the car around to pick Kathy up.
We had to stop at
the Medical Testing Building where I needed
an information package for next weeks test. Part of the package included a
prescription so on the way back to the apartment we stopped at Shoppers Drug Mart to drop off the script.
The rain had stopped
but the wind had increased by the time we got back to the apartment. We had an
enjoyable lunch before heading out for another round of errands. With our going
Fulltime in the spring we won’t be able to transport our plants across the International
Border so Kathy has been giving them away to good homes. Our next stop was at
our friends Kathie and Ross’s
apartment where we delivered our last plant and spent an hour visiting and
catching up with them.
When we left there
were more things we needed to do and the first was a stop at Walmart where Kathy needed to replace her hair
dryer that suddenly stopped working last night. We got some store walking in
since the weather outside was not very pleasant. We also picked up a few other
food stocks before heading out.
We traveled to Princess Auto where I returned the Hitch Pins I’d
gotten for the Solar Panel Lift Brackets the other day as the size would have
weakened the brackets too much. When I went to look for alternative pins there
were newer pins that had not been there the other night. They were perfect for
what we needed and at a fraction of the price of the ones that I’d returned.
Our last stop was
back at Shoppers Drug Mart to get my
Prescription before heading home. It just seemed that everything we needed to
accomplish today just clicked in place for us and didn’t take nearly the amount
of time we thought it would.
For supper we
finished the Lasagna Kathy made yesterday. The 6 o’clock News spoke of multiple
terror attacks in Paris. Why can’t people just live in Peace? The wind is still
rattling our windows. Thanks for following along
and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Imagine, world peace. We'll likely not see it in our life time. I believe if they took away the manmade drugs being used to alter minds of the young, we'd see less of the horrible attacks. Your busy day wore me out! Great blog, do enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThat a lots or running around in one day.
ReplyDeleteIt just makes me sick hearing the report about Paris. We watched it live yesterday. So many people are just down-right nuts!
ReplyDeleteI would need a nap after all that running around.
Whew.. what a day!
