Warming Up.

If you recall in last night’s Blog, I had taken a New-To-Me Medication, for another issue, that had the warning “May Cause Drowsiness”. I barely finished publishing the post and fell asleep in my Recliner. I woke just long enough to go to Bed to finish my night. That Medication should be listed as a Sleep Aide, because I haven’t slept that well in Years.

I’d barely opened the Balcony Blinds this morning, when I could hear Kathy coming from the Bedroom. All through breakfast I was having trouble keeping my eyes open.

Unlike yesterday where the Clouds filled the sky for the entire day, today the Sun and Rain were taking turns. With a forecast for a break in the weather later this afternoon we waited to head out until 4:00.

With a couple of Birthdays being celebrated this weekend a quick stop at the Credit Union was needed, before going to check for our Mail. When we arrived at Guardian Storage we found the door locked. Since we didn’t believe there was anything of importance heading our way and with a Humidex of 97 F (36 C) we figured we could wait until next week to check it out.

It was past 5:00 and we decided it was easier to stop at Arby’s to have supper, before heading home.

We later watched a few episodes of “Monk” before watching the “11 o’clock Local News”. It looks like tomorrow will be a repeat of today weather-wise, but it could also feel like an Oven starting next week.

I’ll be taking only the second tablet of those new medications tonight. Hopefully, everything is feeling better tomorrow.

Everyone knows what colour bra you’re wearing.

Colder Storms.

Somehow I believe that when we know that we have set an Alarm to wake us up, our Subconsciousness keeps us on alert most of the night, and robs us of much needed sleep. Knowing that I didn’t set the Alarm for the last Three Days, allowed me to get a well rested night’s sleep each time.

Yesterday’s Storms continued through the night. When I checked “The Weather Network” this morning, it showed we could expect more of the same this afternoon so we had to get moving if we didn’t want to get too wet.

We had luckily worn our Jackets to protect us from possible Rain, but by the time we walked to the Car, were wondering if we should have worn Coats instead. The temperature at the time was only 63 F (17 C) with Wind Gusts up to Thirty MPH.

When I saw the doctor on Monday, he had immediately FAXed a Prescription to the Pharmacy we use. For a number of reasons combined I waited to get them until today. Arriving at Health First Pharmacy the Pharmacist cautioned me to only take these before going to bed, as they may cause Drowsiness. (One pill, Two problems) This also happens to be a medication that takes a Month to take full effect in my system.

Heading back towards home we stopped at Mary Brown’s to have a very early lunch. Even though it’s a Canadian Brand, it rivals the Internationally Known Labels. At this time of year, if your want good food, look for the line of Students from the nearby High Schools leading out the door.

Heading back to the Car we noticed evidence of the forecasted precipitation, already coating the windows.

A final stop at Shoppers Drug Mart had us taking advantage of their Thursday’s Senior Discount Day. Later sitting down with my Calculator, I found that we had saved over Eighty Dollars.

Since the Drizzle had again started, I dropped Kathy at the front entrance to our building. Even while using my Cane, I managed to run between most of the drops.

I had lots of Blog Reading to catch up on after updating our Medication Spreadsheet. It also gave me a chance to diagnose a problem that I was having with my Computer.

It was past 7:00 when we shared Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Spinach Pizza with Mushrooms and Extra Mozzarella Cheese. Amazing how filling that can be.

We later watched a few episodes of “Forensic Files” before the “11 o’clock Local News” came on. Today’s high only reached 72 F (22 C) with heavier Rain when we got home. We had earlier listened to a Severe Storm reflecting across the Detroit River.

Having taken that New Medication before I started writing this Blog, is causing problems to keep my eyes open.

Even though last night's Weather Guesser had forecasted possible Thunderstorms, not much thought was put into it. When the sky lit up around 3:00 with a resounding clap of Thunder that was accompanied by a flash of Lightening that lit even the Livingroom with the closed Blinds. That was the perfect time to leave my Recliner and head to Bed since it was nearly Three Hours since I had closed my eyes. Laying my head on the Pillow seemed to quiet down the sound enough that I was again back to sleep. There were a few more rumbling sounds through the night, but just enough to say it was still Raining.

It was still quite wet when we got up and the heavy Clouds made it harder to dry the pavement.

It was past lunch when the sound of the driving Rain against our Balcony Door caught our attention. We’d later find out that the same Gust clocked in at 50 MPH did some damage across Essex County. In the town of LaSalle a number of large mature Trees were blown out of the ground, taking the Roots with them.

We were watching “Chicago Med”, “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” for the evening, when the “US News” channel kept breaking into the programs to let us know the intensity of the Storms that were passing over the Detroit River, less than Two Hundred Feet from the front of our building. The Warnings ceased when the programs ended.

The “11 o’clock Local News” confirmed that there is more Wet and Windy Weather heading our way. Might have to find our Fishing Waders for tomorrow.

Knowing there was no rush to be anywhere early this morning, meant there was no need to set the Alarm. The end result was that I slept the way I should always.

One I was up it was only a matter of minutes before Kathy would come out to join me and knowing that we would definitely be doing Grocery Shopping today, I cleaned the last of the Fruit from the Fridge. Oranges with Trail Bars was more like a snack that went with the Coffee we took to the Computers. It was 10:30 when we headed out.

Our destination was Dyna-Care in Tecumseh where I had an appointment for Blood Tests, that sprang from yesterday’s doctor’s visit. Normally, we are here for Kathy, but not today. We actually had to sit for Five Minutes before I was called. We were leaving Fifteen Minutes before my Appointed Time, unlike their other location that does not take appointments and leaves you waiting for up to Three Hours.

Knowing that we were going grocery shopping and our breakfast snack had worn off, we drove across to A&W for some nourishment. With the increasing heat building outside, their Frosted Cold Mugs made the Root Beer even more thirst quenching.

Our next stop was the nearby Dollarama to replenish our depleting supply of Brisk Iced Tea and Lemonade along with our Breakfast Juice. Since Kathy had rushed to leave home, we had to pick up a Knee Support so she would survive the upcoming walking.

When we finally arrived at the Zehr’s grocery store we didn’t even need a Shopping List because we simply needed Everything. A big advantage of shopping on a day where the outside temperature felt like the Century Mark was the stores all had their Air Conditioning cranked. The big problem with that, was when you walked outside, it was like you got hit by a hammer.

It didn’t take long to get home, but then we had to load our Folding Two Wheeled Shopping Cart to haul it all upstairs. That was a challenge.

Inside the Apartment we had to open the Balcony Door and Bedroom Window to circulate the Hot Air. I was emptying the Cart when Kathy disappeared. With Frozen Foods to put away, I continued doing just that. Five Minutes later she came inside with the last Two Shopping Bags we couldn’t take on the first load. She had to sit down to cool off for a while.

Once everything was put away and I then changed to cooler clothes, armed myself with my trusty Screwdriver went out on the Balcony. I finally got the Winter Cover off our Air Conditioner Sleeve. As soon as I was inside the AC was turned on. As soon as the Fans were set up to circulate the cooler air, the Window and Door were shut.

As we were enjoying supper I realized, we had forgot to pick up the Prescriptions the doctor had called in for me.

We later watched a “Murder Mystery” and the “11 o’clock Local News”. Looks like this weekend, our area will actually reach the Century Mark.

Early Appointment, Follow-Up and G7.

As per usual, before shutting the lights last night, I had to set the Alarm to be certain I would be on time for an appointment. It worked so well, that half the night was spent staring at the Ceiling, while the other half was spent tossing and turning. I still woke Fifteen Minutes before the Alarm would have gone off. I managed a Shower and Shave before heading out the Door by 8:00. Since it was so early, Kathy stayed at home.

Parking at the Medical Buildings, had me close enough to the entrance, that I walked in more than a Half Hour early. There were others leaving before I got checked in. Thomas took me right in and had answers to my questions but is sending me for Blood Tests since it has been over a year that he has had numbers to examine. I will then see him again to check things over before the end of next month. I was heading for home Fifteen Minutes before my appointed time.

I made a quick stop at Wendy’s where I picked up Two Bacon/Egg Wraps with Two Coffees for an easy made breakfast. Using an Insulated Shopping Bag, kept everything Hot until I walked in the Apartment.

The first thing I did on the Computer today was to try to make an appointment for Kathy’s next Blood Test but the program would not except it, because the date was over a Month away. Five Minutes later I was schedule to have my Blood Test done tomorrow.

It was 2:00 when we sat down to enjoy Bacon/Veggie Wraps for a late lunch.

We were surprised to see the Meeting of G7 Leaders taking place in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on a Canadian News Channel. The US President kept trying to say the Tariffs were working for His Country. On a sadder note, they also spoke of the Shootings of Minnesota State Officials.

It was nearly 7:30 when we sat down for a late supper. We enjoyed Salmon Fillets, Sauteed Asparagus and Perogies.

We later watched a couple of episodes of “FBI” along with the “11 o’clock Local News” that showed it could be Hot and Wet tomorrow. We’ll see what else happens.
