It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Good Busy.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Though I slept soundly last night, just knowing that I had set the Alarm before going to bed, had me constantly checking the time.

I was up nearly an Hour earlier than necessary so I thought of checking The Weather Network to see what it would be like this morning. Though our Computers are working much faster with this Refurbished Modem, Kathy walked into the room before it connected.

After seeing what was not heading our way, we simply had our Breakfast Juice with our morning Pills before heading out.

Wanting something more than Toast, we went to Wendy’s for a better breakfast. They presently have a Two for Four Dollars deal going, so we both enjoyed a Breakfast Wrap and Seniors Coffee for a total cost of $4.26. The place was also filled with men having Seniors Coffees and talking about the Good Old Days. Probably worked together before retirement.

We arrived at our daughter Karen’s home in Tecumseh by 9:00, nearly an Hour earlier than the agreed upon time, we had the chance to visit with Sanford and Stanley while Karen finished getting ready. Minutes before they were about to leave, our granddaughter came in from working the midnight shift at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Having just graduated from the University of Windsor this year, she is going through her probationary period along with additional training.

Kathy and Karen left minutes after I did, heading to pick up our daughter-in-law Melissa for a Girls Day outing.

Since my Hip Surgery last year, I have wanted to go back to the Gym, but with the recent fall injuring my Shoulder, I just couldn’t do it. Knowing I could help myself by exercising, when I arrived at Planet Fitness I started by using all the Resistance Machines and stayed away from the Free Weights. Because it has been so long since I exercised in this way, I know that I will stiffen up in the next few days, but I’ll keep at it. I also dramatically lightened the amount of weight as a way of not causing further damage. Since weightlifting increases Blood Pressure, I finished off with Ten Minutes on the Exercycle to bring it back down. I had brought a change of clothes but saved the shower for later.

Instead of going straight home I went to the Zehr’s grocery store where I picked up food stocks that we were totally out of. There wasn’t much in the Cart, but it was still over $120.00.

Pulling into the driveway to our building, there were Two Police Cars near the front entrance, probably investigating last night’s Fire.

I needed the Folding Two Wheeled Shopping Cart to bring everything up to the Apartment and another Half Hour to get everything put away. I really wasn’t feeling hungry, so I finished a small bag of Potato Chip Crumbs as a snack. My shower felt wonderful massaging the muscles I’d stretched today. I’m sure I’ll stiffen up for the next few days.

I had just sat down at my Computer, when the Doctor’s Office for an Internalist called to book an appointment for Kathy. He was referred by our Family Doctor, to verify that her medications are not the cause of some of her issues.

I’d barely hung up when Kathy walked in. She was glowing with excitement after having fun with the Girls. She brought home part of her lunch that she hadn’t eaten. Since I hadn’t really had lunch, we shared what she brought home.

I managed to read most of the Blogs we follow before the 6 o’clock Local News came on. Though we had a beautiful clear 75 F (24 C) day, things are supposed to change overnight.

It was after 7:00 when we finally started feeling hungry, so we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza with extra Pineapple for a very late supper.

We watched a couple episodes of “Law and Order” to finish off the evening.

We are happy to note that the refurbished modem, (“the Beer Fridge”) has not dropped any of our connections today. It was odd to not get dropped with the other modem.

I’ll try to answer some Comment Question soon.

Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment, unless it personally attacks someone for their opinion, or is Spam.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
