My nighttime Recliner sitting continues, until I can finish the night in Bed. At least this morning Kathy started waking just as I was about to start cooking the Banana Pancakes, we’d have for our breakfast.

With the temperature below the Freezing Mark and the White Landscape, we weren’t in too big of a hurry to go outside. Once I had verified what the Radar showed, I started checking our messages. According to the Tracking Number, Kathy’s Package had arrived a the Distribution Center and could be delivered by tomorrow night. We barely started reading Blogs when Guardian Storage called to say our Package had been delivered.

We were going to head out immediately, but my Phone started ringing. It was Sarough, the young man I was mentoring while at Windsor Feedscrew. He left in August to attend St. Clair College, with the intention of becoming a Welder. Today he was calling because he had heard the Teachers could be going “On Strike” next week. I got him relaxed, then advised him of a few things he could do if the did walk off the job. The last thing we said to one another was “Happy New Year”. We’ll talk again soon.

By the time we left the Apartment, it was nearly 1:00, so we stopped at Wendy’s to have lunch. Our favourite server Paula was there. The last couple of times we had missed her, was because she was replacing the girl on Drive-Thru, who was away for the Holidays.

At Guardian Storage, as I collected our Mail, Melissa put our Package on the counter.

We made a stop at Zehr’s to pick up a few things I had missed the other day.

It seemed the Wind had picked up back at our building. Living across the Street from the Detroit River does have some Disadvantages.

According to the Weather Guesser on the 6 o’clock Local News our Temperatures are actually Below Seasonal and will continue for at least a Week, due to a large Colorado Storm sweeping across the US.

We watched another “Harry Potter” movie tonight.

Tonight I’m going to start by answering a Comment from our Blog. I have been using a special Support Pillow for over Thirty Years due to on the job Neck Injuries. No matter what I am doing during waking hours, if I turn my head, all I hear is a grinding sound coming from my Neck. Occasionally, I have slept without it but that never lasted for very long. By simply sitting in a Reclined Position, it somehow takes the pressure off the Spinal Cord thus taking away the Pain I get from lying down in bed.

Strange as that may sound, I spent another Three Hours in my Recliner last night. Kathy and I have discussed this, and figure if it works go for it. When I get up even for a couple of minutes, she is patting my side of the bed. When I get back in bed, even if she is facing the other way, she turns to pat me down, before can relax herself enough to return to a more sound sleep.

I had everything ready to serve for breakfast and had been busy on my Computer, before Kathy woke from her extended sleep. As we enjoyed our Muffin and Banana she told me how she checked for me, all the time. We brought our Coffees to the Computers.

Not wanting to have the same meal too many times in a week, we had Italian Wedding Soup for lunch. We tried a different kind today and liked it far better than the Leading Brand. Nicer Flavour and more Meatballs in the mix.

I was able to check the On-Line TV Listing for our Local Television Shows. We have read Blogs of others watching different shows, but could not get them because we did not subscribe to the special channels. I was able to find Three that we have been trying to find and they were listed on channels we subscribe to.

With the temperature below the Freezing Mark and lite Flurries, we finally headed out, just to escape the confines of the Apartment. We realized we forgot about the Wind Gusts that made it feel even colder.

Our first stop was the Dollarama closest to where we live. Like the other location, they did not have everything we wanted, but they did have some. The beauty of shopping at these stores is they are far less expensive then the Grocery or Big Box stores. We got some walking exercise in and by not Overstocking, can go back multiple times a week.

It was past 4:30 and we were getting hungry but wanted something different. We headed to Arby’s where we enjoyed their Reuben Sandwiches. It also gave us time to talk to Wanda who has worked there for nearly Thirty Years. With some People Watching it brought back memories while other times you simply laugh.

Back at the Apartment we barely had our purchases put away, when I got a call from my friend and former co-worker Ivan. I’ve called a few times since we changed our Phone Carrier but since his phone didn’t recognize the number, he didn’t answer. Finally, I left a text days ago and Ivan’s son pointed it out to him tonight. He called immediately.

The New Owners of that business now have a full Maintenance Crew on staff and have been making all kinds of upgrades to the business. Ivan had thought about Retiring, but the new manager made him an offer that was too good to pass up. We’ll talk again soon now that he knows about my new display Number.

The 6 o’clock Local News reported quite a number of Fires that took place in Windsor on New Years Day. The causes ranged from Careless Smoking, Electrical, Unattended Cooking to Arson. The big News is that our Weather might be colder, but we won’t have the Accumulations the areas outside Essex County could see.

We watched the programs for the first time that I mentioned to you above, “Matlock” and “Elsbeth”. That’s the kind of intrigue we like to see on Television.

What did the fish say when he swam into a wall?

“Dam!”

New Norm and “Imagine”.

It seems that I have developed a new norm for sleeping at night and it is one that I am not happy about. When I am able to fall asleep in bed, it is only a temporary thing. I then need to wait out the Pain in my Neck while reclined in my Chair, before being able to finish my rest period in bed. Hopefully that will all change after I return to exercising at the Gym.

Blueberries on Cereal was the perfect start to our day, along with Hot Apple Cider that we brought to the Computers. The personal News and Blog reading were good but when the International News showed another upheaval of Violence it was disheartening. It seems the acts of Terrorism has returned to America. Too bad we don’t all follow the words in the song “Imagine” by John Lennon, what a wonderful world this would be.

I did manage to send a message out to Wayne and Sue, who our presently back in Quartzsite, then a few Texts locally.

Starting from scratch just before noon, by the time I chopped all the Vegetables and Bacon then cooked up an Omelette big enough to hold it all, it was 1:30 by the time we sat down to eat. We were so satisfied, that we didn’t share a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Spinach Pizza until 7:30 this evening.

With little choice for entertainment, we watched a Documentary about “Luther Vandross” and glad we did. We often enjoyed listening to many of the songs that he recorded but never put a face or name to the Artist.
