The Joys Of Time Change.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Though this was the first day back to Eastern Sandard Time, our bodies didn't want to recognize that. The Sun came up close to the time it has been slowly adjusting to, but the Clocks simply lied about the time. It will probably take until next Spring for us to get used to this Time Change, only to have to reverse the process again. I remember as a child that the only way we experienced Daylight Savings Time, was when we visited longtime family friends in the next County. It was highly Agriculturalixed, so the changes were beneficial to help working the fields. Today the practice is spread across the entire Country. There should be more places like the state of Arizona where the only time changes they see, are witnessed strapped to their wrists, the changing colour of their Hair or the aches in their Bones. Living in the dry climate of the desert, the last change is less noticeable.

With no more Muffins available for breakfast, we settled for Cereal. Looking outside at the beautiful Sunshine was very deceiving. Putting your hand close to the window, you could sense the Cold Temperature heading our way. Checking The Weather Network showed we were Below the Freezing Level outside.

Surprisingly, there were very few RV Bloggers that had written this morning. Probably most were recovering from what I wrote about in my first paragraph. That meant that I had the chance to check my Facebook Account, for the first time in a couple of months. It also gave me the chance to purchase another Book from Amazon, written by former Fulltime RVer Nick Russell. Kathy doesn't know yet so please don't tell her or it will ruin the surprise.

I was about to start preparing lunch, but Kathy didn't like it when I said it would take another Hour to get ready. We ended up sharing a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Bacon and Mushroom Pizza.

There was more investigating to be done On-Line, about changes being made for people hauling and driving RVs in Canada, along with changes being made for those crossing the International Border into the US. Even though we have our Canadian Passports, there is a chance that we will have to be Finger Printed and pay a Tourist Fee, just so we can go help support the US economy. We might have to rethink that.

After we finally enjoyed Perogies for supper and cleaned up the Dishes, we watched a few episodes of "Forensic Files".

Tomorrow, I have to call that Physiotherapy Center to verify if I am Liable for Out-of-Pocked Costs, rather than by my Extended Health Care Coverage. If that's the case, I know where I can go at no costs and they can go take a long walk off a short pier.

Since it is Fall, we'll probably be having more Rain soon.

After having such a busy day, yesterday, it was surprising to me that I struggled again to sleep last night. I actually did sleep but kept waking multiple times through the night. I even got up around 4:12 to take an Extra Strength Tylenol, to ease the Shoulder Pain I was feeling but that barely lasted until 7:30.

I probably dozed few times at the Computer before Kathy joined me, but that was probably due to the research that I was doing.

When I visited the Pain Clinic this past week, the Doctor said that he wanted to send me for Physiotherapy and would refer me to one that he said his patients were happy with. (Or were they?) Thursday, I received a call, setting up an appointment, though it was difficult understanding the heavy accent, so they sent me the information package by E-Mail. As I was filling in the Questionnaire this morning, it wasn't until I got to the last page, that it said I was personally liable for the $160.00 Payment for each visit. With extended Medical Coverage that sounded like a Scam. I immediately wiped out all the information and hit the Unsubscribe button.

Our breakfast snack lasted until we had a Homemade Italian Salad for lunch. Though it is not much, it seems to gas us up, to the point that we are not Hungry through the remainder of the day.

The first thing we did after lunch, was to enjoy an Epson Salts Foot Bath and Pedicure. It is amazing that not only does it make our feet feel better, but it helps us to relax as well.

On the "11 o'clock Local News" last night, the Weather Guesser said there was a good chance we'd see showers today. We'd had Sunny skies this morning, but by 2:00 this afternoon, everything was dripping wet.

With nothing listed for us to watch on television this evening, we watched the matinee version of "Fantastic Beasts". The Sun was again shining when the movie ended.

Though we weren't feeling very hungry, we had Macaroni and Cheese for supper.

It's that time of year again, but I am not going to worry about changing our Clocks back in the morning, because they are already done and it appears the Battery in one will need to be replaced. For those who have forgotten, "It's Time To Fall Back" tonight.

With no Rain in the forecast for tomorrow, we could be out and about.

Before I even wrote last night's Blog, Kathy and I hatched a Plan. The next thing to do, would be to make it work. The first thing was for her to get to Bed before I did, because she has always needed more sleep than anybody. When she was only a child her Family Doctor had told her mother it was because of Kathy's heart condition. Though they were not sure how bad it was back then, the one thing that even her Cardiologist today agrees with is, the more sleep she gets, the better her health will be.

I managed to sleep soundly for most of the night, but with that Plan in the back of my mind, I was awake by 7:00. I had already gotten things ready for our breakfast snack before starting to sort Laundry. I had barely done that when Kathy herself joined me, while carrying the Bedding. It all had to be washed.

There was only enough time to finish my morning Coffee and call the Pharmacy to renew a prescription that I had forgotten to get earlier this week.

I was packed up and heading downstairs to the Second Floor Laundry Room shortly after 9:00. Was I ever shocked when I walked in, to find that I was the only one there. Normally there is always someone else ahead of me. That meant I would start and finish this chore sooner.

Between the first and second loads we took the time to share a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Veggie Pizza. I must be feeling slightly better, because I kick mine up a notch with a few shakes of Red Chili Pepper Flakes.

By the time I had eaten, it was also time to head back. Kathy said she would see me in a few minutes. While I was folding our clean clothes, I had the chance to coach a new tenant to the building, how to use the laundry equipment.

After folding everything and heading back to the Apartment, I startled Kathy whose eyes had unexpectedly closed on her. To give my back a rest we sat together talking, before we worked together putting all the clothes away in the dressers.

Even though this was a special night, we had to brave going out. With the blowing Wind making it difficult to walk, I picked Kathy up with the Car a the rear entrance.

We arrived at Health First Pharmacy close to 4:00 to find the Prescription ready to go.

I didn't feel like cooking supper, so asked Kathy what she wanted only to be told "Something Different". Being careful to avoid any Trick or Treaters that were already going door to door, we headed over to the Michigan Diner. It has been months since we were last there, so we took advantage of the Seniors Menu to order more portion appropriate Halibut Fish with Sweet Potato Fries for supper. The bill reminded me of why it had been so long.

We were able to look out over the neighbouring homes to see hordes of little ones with parents in tow going from house to house. We've been on both ends of the tradition. When Kathy and I owned our house on the corner of Foster and Hansen, kids could see our display from Four Directions. The last year there we had Five Hundred Trick or Treaters.

It was only fitting that we watched the final episode of "Harry Potter" on the night where little witches and wizards were running all around the neighbourhood below.

After only spending minutes in my Recliner, I managed to spend the rest of the night, sleeping in Bed. When I woke around 8:30 this morning, the discomfort from yesterday's injections had totally disappeared.

Unfortunately, after opening the Balcony Blinds and later the one in the Bedroom, it was necessary to turn on the Lights to brighten things up. What woke Kathy up, was the sound of Dishes being moved, while I got things ready for our breakfast snack. With other things to do, we only spent enough time on the Computers, to finish our Coffees. While doing that, we got a call asking if we could move our Afternoon Appointment up by Thirty Minutes. Done!

For the last few weeks I've been trying to get something accomplished, but one excuse after another, always got in the way. This morning we sat across the table from one another, filling in our Passport Renewal Forms that we picked up a couple of months ago. Our Fifteen Minute task only took an Hour, but we were certain we were ready.

Not wanting another excuse to pop up, we headed to Wendy's for a quick, tasty lunch. Paula was surprised to see us, but we reminded her that she had said she would see us today. She just laughed with a big smile on her face.

When it was time to head across town, we had forgotten about the Construction Gridlock just up the road. After traveling only a Hundred Feet in Five Minutes, we cut through the Walmart parking lot back to the Parkway. Five minutes later we were headed for City Hall Square.

There is a problem when you don't go through the heart of the City very often. The last time we were there was for our niece's wedding that I photographed. City Hall has been replaced and the entire area looks different. We drove around the area Four Times looking for 400 City Hall Square, with no luck. Asking a City Worker cutting the grass, (Yes, it is still growing here) he laughingly said it was inside 400 City Hall Road. Who knew?

After freezing to pay for parking we finally found the entrance. Then being directed by Security, we found Suite 103, better known in Windsor as Service Canada. With all our paperwork in hand we were shown Twice that we had not filled in some of the boxes and we had to step aside, correct it and get back in line. Things like you show when you Retired but are you still? Oh, you forgot to put Today's Date. You only have Two References and you need Three. When I raised my voice, because of Back Pain, saying it was a Renewal and not a New Application, we were told it was good. Not so fast, we still had to wait Fifteen Minutes, before being called in for processing. Luckily, we won't be needing them this Winter, but we should have them by the end of next month. We hated to leave the warmth of the building, but we had things to do.

On our way to our appointment, we stopped at Vital-Aire to check on Strap Covers for Kathy's CPAP Mask. A lot of people don't realize, that they can be allergic to Silicone on their faces. We first learned of that when my face was on the verge of Bleeding due to contact with the Silicone Pillow of my CPAP Mask. Since it has been Five Months when they were ordered, they got a set off the Display and reordered more for Kathy.

By the time we reached the Bank, it was startting to Drizzle for the first time today. Since Mark (Our Financial Advisor) works different locations throughout the City, we waited Twenty Minutes before heading inside. We barely go out of our Car when he arrived. Two Minutes later we were in a private office discussing our finaces. PreCovid we had unexpected expenses on both the Truck and our Trailer ( our Home). When we had to find an Apartment, that cut deeper into our Savings. Today, Mark showed how far our recovery has come and with a few more changes, hopes to see us back on the road, sooner than later. But, he gave me some Homework to do before our next get together. I thought those days were over.

We stopped at the Pioneer gas station to top off the Car with Gasoline at this week's lowest price. Good thing, because Oil went up in price today.

Next we stopped at the Credit Union to take care of our Monthly Payments.

Since it was already 5:00, we walked next door to Taco Bell, to try their new Crispy Chicken Menu. It was tasty and filling, but according to my ankles, there was more Salt than I should have eaten.

After dropping Kathy at the front entrance to our building because it was Raining,then parking the Car, I walked in just as the "6 o'clock Local News" was starting. Though we are having warmer than normal temperatures, there is some Sxxw in the forecast, for the upper part of the Province.

We later watched "Law and Order" before calling it a night.

We'll be busy again tomorrow.
