I must have been thinking that today was Thursday as I slept through the night because I was wide awake before 6:00 this morning. It took some tossing to get myself back to sleep until just before 7:00. The only thing I could do was get things ready for Breakfast, open the Window Shades and start my morning reading on the Computer.

It seems every morning I barely get to checking the Forecast on The Weather Network when Kathy wakes up. She says she senses my absence in bed and wakes up but even more so since the pressure was raised on her CPAP Machine at the Sleep Disorder Clinic.

We really enjoyed our Toast with Rhubarb sauce this morning. It amazes us how many people don’t like it but knowing how to make it yourself has the benefit that you can adjust just how bitter you make it. We both grew up as children eating Rhubarb and continue to enjoy it today.

I had just finished with my inside chores when the phone rang. Since Kathy hadn’t put her Hearing Aids in yet she had to tell the person to wait while I got the phone. It was our Family Doctor’s Office calling to see if we could come in an hour early today. No problem.

Even though it was too early for the appointment we were out the door shortly after 11:00 with a list of places that we had to go in Windsor. Just to ease Kathy’s worries I showed her where I’ll be going tomorrow for what we’ve been looking for. She was surprise how close it actually is to our location.

Since the Construction on Huron Church Road is now finished we were able go to the west end Wendy’s for lunch without any problems. We ordered off the Value Menu each having our Chicken Wraps, Small Chocolate Frosties and Senior’s Soft Drinks for the total cost of $7.19.

After eating we drove around the block to our Family Doctor’s Office. We walked in with Ten Minutes to spare but were brought right in. Because Kathy’s former Doctor was not doing what she should have to keep Kathy healthy she changed to my Doctor. When her former Doctor refused to send over her files my Doctor simply started sending Kathy for Tests and to see Specialists. He reviewed the reports that the Specialists had already sent him and when Kathy mentioned the continued problem with Sinus Infections after a brief examination he will now refer her to an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist. At first Kathy didn’t want to see all these Doctors but since her health is important and she won’t be seeing them all the time she can accept it.

With additional appointments made we had to stop by Fantastic Sam’s on Howard and change our Haircut Appointments with Jenna. Since she was in the middle of a Wash and Rinse I had to wait a few minutes but as soon as that was done she happily changed the date and time of our appointment.

We needed to stop at Tim Hortons to have a Coffee and a Pit Stop. Kathy had her purse with her Sun Glasses on top sitting on the floor with her. While she was taking care of business a hand reached under the partition and took her Sun Glasses before she could react. With nobody else in the washroom she couldn’t do much about it.

We stopped at Guardian Storage to check our Mail before going to the Motor City Community Credit Union. Every once in a while Kathy’s On-Line Banking locks her out and we have to get it reset. Ashley wasn’t in today but Cara helped us out.

Though we hadn’t planned on it we ended up at Walmart to find Kathy new Sunglasses. It was difficult to find Sunglasses with Polarized Lenses. Most advertise “Blocks 100% UV Rays”. As a professional Welder you learn that a simple Glass or Plastic Lens coloured or clear will block UV Rays that can harm your eyes. What those lenses will not do is to block Glare. Only Polarized Lenses will do that as well as taking the strain out of your eyes caused by the Sun.

We then stopped at Princess Auto where I had to pick up a special Lens that it seems no other store carries. When we came outside this Jeep was parked near us and Kathy remembered our Jeep Tours we took around Sedona, Arizona. It sure wasn’t set up to just drive around town.

We made a quick stop at Home so that Kathy could Face Book our granddaughter Kylla to wish her a Happy Birthday.

We then headed to Soup R Salad in Amherstburg where we enjoyed their Homemade Chicken and Rice Soup along with their Greek Chicken Wrap. Along with a couple of Diet Sodas it cost more then lunch but a fraction of what McDonald’s would have cost.

Kathy needed a Clear Cover to protect Doctors Forms against the weather and to keep them together so a quick stop at Dollarama found exactly what we were looking for.

We arrived at our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s house shortly before 6:00 for our weekly visit. We sat outside on their screened-in Deck where the gentle breeze kept us comfortable. We had plenty to talk and laugh about and didn’t realize the time until we had to go.

Kathy was taking Sunset Pictures while I was driving Home. We’ll let you know how tomorrow goes. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
