After getting up at a decent time today, as soon as we saw the wet pavement outside, I knew we would not be going too far. Since we live on the Eighth Floor of our building we have a bird’s eye view of traffic using Riverside Drive East as one of the ways of transversing the city. Even at that early hour on New Years Eve, the traffic was almost bumper to bumper.

Not only did we spread out our meals today, because we Planned on staying up to celebrate the occasion at Midnight, we made was to our daughter Karen and son-in-law Greg, to wish them a Happy Anniversary. Besides managing to get totally caught up on our Blog reading, I found that Joe and Nancy (An Indian and a Gypsy), were celebrating their 67th Anniversary today. Though they are not travelling as much as they did a few years back, Joe continues to keep us informed about their activities.

We’ve managed to stay awake and are celebrating with Carbonated Juice (Fake Wine) that we got for Christmas. Like we will be saying to one another, we would again like to say to all our Readers. Be Safe and Happy New Year.

Even though it was not an undisturbed sleep last night we still managed to be up much earlier this morning.

Between my Problems and Kathy just wanting to have a quiet day we spent most of our day at the Computers catching up on everyone else’s adventures.

After lunch I set up the Epson Foot Bath so that I could deal with Kathy’s Foot Problems. It is a little trickier for me to do this with my own Hip/Leg Problem. Even so when I was finished Kathy was able to walk around Pain-Free in her feet.

I have continued trying to resolve the Google/Blogger issue. There have been moments that show I’m logged in, but as soon as I attempt to leave a Comment a message appears telling me otherwise.

Watching the 6 o’clock Local News on the weekends is getting more frustrating. They are either pre-empted by Sports, a Reality Show or give us news far outside our area.

Since tomorrow is New Years Eve, Kathy and I would like to wish everyone a Safe and Happy New Year. Please if you Drink, Don’t Drive. We want to know you remain healthy.

Words of Inspiration

I can’t control what’s fair and unfair. I can’t control the nature of the business or the nature of society or the nature of the world, but what I can control is how I choose to see the world and what I choose to put back into it.

New Shoes On The Way.

Just when I thought that my retirement routine was finally starting to develop, I blew it. It was past 9:00 this morning before I opened my eyes, but part of the reason for that was my waking too many times to count and staring at the ceiling. When that happens, my unintentional movements, disturb Kathy’s sleep, so she slept an additional Half Hour to make up for it.

At least it wasn’t Raining this morning, so after checking numerous things on the Computers we headed out the door. It was already past lunch so the first thing we did was to use a Coupon at A&W to buy our meal. It also gave us a chance to people watch.

The more my Hip/Leg Problem lingers, it seems the harder it has been to put my shoes on and to remove them. Kathy resolved that by buying me a pair of Sketchers Hands Free Slip-Ins. The first time I wore them was Christmas Day. They are comfortable and work as advertised.

Kathy herself has been struggling with her shoes as well, so after lunch we headed to the Tecumseh Mall where The Shoe Company is located. We found the Sketchers Shoes we were looking for, only they were out of Kathy’s size. A quick check of their computers and Kathy will have her new shoes in the New Year.

We walked around the Mall, seeing a few new stores, but also noting many that have left. By the time we (I) hobbled back to the Car a Drizzle was again coming down.

Once home, we went back on the Computers. I mentioned how Google had mysteriously allowed me to Sign-In the other day. It did it again today and like before still does not allow me to leave Comments or upload Pictures. I’ll keep trying.

On the 6 o’clock Local News the Weather Guesser noted the unusually mild temperatures we have been getting lately, will slowly be leaving the area.

This Re-Retirement is starting to feel better every day. Even though there is still the discomfort of the Hip/Leg Pain 7/24 by not spending so much time walking on the Concrete Floors in the Plant, seems to be helping.

After Eight Hours sleep the discomfort started building again. As mentioned in other posts before constantly changing positions that wakes Kathy is a must, otherwise it gets unbearable. So I was busy on my Computer when Kathy came out to join me. She noticed my absence.

With very few Leftovers in our Fridge this morning we each had Peanut Butter on Toast. There was plenty of Blog reading to do, but I still can’t leave Comments on most of the posts. The fix I found the other day only lasted minutes before disappearing.

Lunch was the very last of the Christmas Leftovers along with a nice bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup.

Not knowing how my mobility would be, the last time I went to Wyandotte Chiropractic Center in November, I made an appointment for today. Factories may be closed during the Holidays, but not Health Services. Kathy came along for the ride but stayed in the Car reading. I waddled my way in but after extra work from Richard, practically walked out.

We stopped at Guardian Storage. When I dropped off my tools last Friday, I left a package of New Pens in my Toolbox. Luckily the temperatures have remained above Freezing, so the Pens will be more useful than just inking the inside of the Toolbox.

We used Coupons at Arby’s to have supper, before going to Dollarama and Zehr’s grocery store for additional food stocks. We don’t want to be out this weekend since Monday will be New Years Day.

After checking the Comments on last night’s Blog about Sorough, I sent him a Text to see how his day went. He called me back. Mile wanted him to watch Pat (the so-called expert) repaired a Machining-Oops. Pat did not want Sorough watching him weld, like I did. He wouldn’t let Sorough do any welding and when Mile wanted him to add More weld, he refused and left. Before leaving Pat wanted to know how we fixed the Bearing Issue. Sorough gave the answer I told him to, “We just welded it.” (Pat would have tried to take credit for it, even though he was nowhere around when it was done.) Sorough picked up a pile of Filler Rods ends that Pat had thrown on the floor so he would use them up the way I had shown him. With nothing else to do Mile let him leave at 11:00.

He asked me about the Feedscrew that he’ll weld after New Years. So I calmly talked him through it, then reminded him “You got this”, but don’t tell Pat how you did it.

After celebrating Christmas with Family for Two Days, we were really feeling worn out. We were so wore out that we overslept this morning, and when we woke up practically hit the floor running. Hobbling in my case.

Having brought home plenty of Leftovers we started the day having a bowl of Homemade Fruit Salad and a Pastry for breakfast along with Coffee at the Computers. Though the outside temperatures were above normal for this time of year, the on and off showers kept us in.

We noticed a City Truck slowly making its way up the street behind our building. Both the driver and passenger got out and walked in our direction, while using Electronic Equipment similar to Metal Detectors. People in this area take great pride in caring for their lawns. Those City workers stopped in one lawn that attracted the attention of the Homeowner. The next thing you see is a Backhoe, Dump-Truck and a Truck-Vac coming up the street. For the next Four Hours they destroyed that beautiful lawn to repair a Water Main Leak.

We had Soup and shared a Grilled Cheese Sandwich for a late lunch.

The young man that I had been training to take my place, Sorough called wanting my opinion. He was told he would be off until the New Year, but Mile called wanting him in for some welding today. He was in Dearborn, Michigan at the time, so told him he would be there tomorrow. Since he doesn’t have his Ninety Days in yet, he was worried Mile could fire him. I calmed him down and assured him he could handle the job. Glad it’s not me.

Supper was more Leftovers while we watched the 6 o’clock Local News.

I think we had better get moving tomorrow or we’ll be cemented to our chairs.
