Finding What We Need.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After Kathy not sleeping well on Monday night, I made certain that she did last night. When we were getting ready for bed, I handed her a dose of ZzzQuil to help her sleep. The result was a sound night’s sleep. It helps you to relax when you first go to bed, instead of staying awake half the night, then sleeping later in the morning.

This morning I had everything ready for Kathy’s breakfast before opening the Bedroom Blinds. It was only Juice and Cereal with Berries on top, with her Tea at her Computer. I had to Fast.

We didn’t have long to read anything, because we were out the door before 11:00. With all the Road Construction taking place around Windsor, it was like working a puzzle to get to Clear Imagining on time. Luckily the Parking Machine was “Out of Order” so there was no time wasted trying to make it work.

Having had this appointment made about a Month ago, getting checked in was easy. We barely sat in the waiting room when I was called in. I had a restricted diet yesterday and hadn’t had anything to eat or drink this morning. Because there were Two Different Ultra Sounds being done meant less downtime for me. It was nearly 12:30 when I finally joined Kathy to leave.

Since we only had one set of Coupons left to use, we headed to Burger King. It wasn’t until we got inside that we realized, it was Whopper Wednesday. The Drive-Thru was backed up to the road and the inside was packed, but with a well trained staff everyone was being served as fast as they made their orders.

It was past 1:00 when we headed over to Guardian Storage to collect our Mail. They were busy inside.

The price of Oil Price continues to rise, so when we stopped at the Pioneer gas station Regular was $1.616/Litre ($6.116/US Gallon). That does not make you want to travel very far.

We decided last night, that we’d have to split our Snake Plant. In the Four Years we’ve had it, it has been transplanted Twice and is nearly Six Feet Tall. They are great for taking the Toxins out of the air and are simple to care for, but are known to procreate new offspring on a regular basis.

We stopped at The Home Depot, looking for Large Outdoor Flower Pots. Everything that was reasonably priced was smaller than we already have. Instead we found Flower Pot Stands that will better support the plants we just transplanted on Monday.

We stopped at the Credit Union to make another Deposit before heading to Walmart, then Rona, before going to Canadian Tire, and finding the Perfect Flower Pots for our Snake Plant.

It was only feeling like 104 F (40 C) so we stopped at McDonald’s to have their Pineapple Smoothies to cool us down, before we headed to Dollarama. We needed a few supplies before heading home.

Luckily, we had our Two Wheeled Shopping Cart, to haul everything up to our Apartment. We found one of the Flower Pots used in transplanting on Monday will not fit in the new Stands, so guess what we will be doing tomorrow.

The 6 o’clock Local News was over before we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Spinach Pizza with extra Mushrooms.

Two more Days this week, and Two more Appointments. The Joys! Not!

Following Restrictions.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

It’s a good thing I was up early, so I could answer an Automated Confirmation Call, for tomorrow’s Ultrasound. It then gave me time to check what I would be eating today. Restrictions call for “No Greasy Fatty Foods, Dairy or Eggs the day before and no eating or drinking for Six Hours prior to the tests”.

Kathy was sleeping late, so instead of waiting, I let the Sunshine in, by opening the Bedroom Blind. As we had our Toasts (mine only had Peanut Butter), Kathy related that it was past 3:00 before she fell to sleep.

There was a lot to read in the little morning that was left. When I made the Veggie Wraps, Kathy’s had Cheese, while mine only had Plum Sauce. We had the last of the Strawberries for dessert. It did the trick.

Got an

We sat to enjoy our Tea when Kathy an Automated Confirmation Call for Thursday. I wonder when I’ll get the one for Friday.

Because of tomorrow’s test, I chose to do the Laundry today. Kathy wanted to go walking so she wouldn’t fall asleep just sitting around. She headed out to Walmart, when I headed down to the Laundry Room.

There’s a Heat-Pump in the Laundry Room, but it is set so low, that it was freezing in there, if you were not keeping busy. I always wear my Watch when doing this, so knew what time to be back. I finished getting the Dryers loaded and was heading for the Elevators, when out walked Kathy. Her shirt showed she had worked up a sweat.

Back in the Apartment, she expressed concerns about accessing the Plants that we’d just transplanted. The Stand we have is too small to hold One let alone all of them, so we started looking for alternatives On-Line. We found a few that we weighed the pros and cons before making our choices. I had to go back downstairs to fold our Clothes. It was another Hour before I sat back down to place the orders. Now we have another chore to do.

I wasn’t thinking to clear when I made Macaroni and (powdered) Cheese for supper along with Bing Cherries for dessert. I’m doubtful that it will affect the test.

On the 6 o’clock Local News, we learned of a Cyclists, that was killed not far from where we live, and it’s going to start getting Hot again soon.

We’ll let you know how tomorrow turns out.
