Back To Sleep and We Were Out?

After spending a little more time getting ready to sleep last night, when I finally did it was like someone knocked me out cold. Kathy with the help of the pill to prevent Restless Leg Syndrome, would only wake long enough to pat down my side of the Bed to see if I was there yet, which is something she has done since we were married. Once I woke from my Recliner and scrambled off to Bed, we both slept soundly until morning.

There was one difference this morning, in the Half Hour that Kathy slept later than I did, I had managed to separate all the Laundry. Yes, it was that time again. It was only Three Weeks worth compared to the one Month accumulation of the last time.

After our breakfast snack, I wanted to see when the forecasted Severe Thunderstorm would be taking over our region. According to The Weather Network and Radar, the Northwesterly Winds had changed the course of the Storm. What should have hit this morning would possibly show up later this afternoon.

We left our Coffees by our Computers and made our way to the Second Floor Laundry Room. Someone had already been there ahead of us and had Two Dryers going. The last time we were here, I had to call the Laundry Room Supplier to report another machine Out of Order, today they were all working the way they should. After loading some of the Washers, we headed back to our Apartment so we could get more E-Reading completed.

Since we had left some Washers available for others to use, the Washers on the opposite side of the room were running when we returned. Since these Dryers hold the equivalent of Two Washers, we loaded Two Dryers before reloading Three more Washers before heading back upstairs.

Every Laundry Day, we share a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for our lunch. It’s fresh, hot, satisfying and only takes Twelve Minutes to cook. We can calmly eat before heading back downstairs. You might ask, “Why we have lunch like that?” Because when we go back, the Clothes in the Dryers will be dry and the clothes in the Washers will be ready to add to the Dryers. Rather than waiting for the Dryer to finish its cycle and having to pay for a fresh load, there is still time left when we reload them and by adding an extra Seventy-Five Cents on the timer, it saves us Three Dollars for drying. We were finished folding all the Laundry and were back in the Apartment by 2:00. We did some reading as a way of cooling down, before putting everything away.

I was just about to start making supper, when our daughter Karen called to see how we were doing. Kathy told her that we had been out, rather than doing Laundry.

Since this was a new dish for me to try tonight for supper, I did what I thought would work. Like I have said many times, I am not a Chef or a Cook but a Welder. After serving my version of Chicken Parmigiana, I asked Kathy for some tips. Even in her present state, she knows how to cook. First was a smaller portion with a touch more Garlic.

On the “6 o’clock Local News” there was more talk about the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, from individuals and Truckers, how this will change crossing the Border. For years, Semis have been filling City Streets for Hours trying to cross at the Ambassador Bridge. Today there was still truck traffic, but not like the last Thirty Years. The new bridge connects directly to Highway 401 in Ontario and I-75 in Michigan, eliminating the need to travel through City Streets.

The Weather Guesser verified why the Storm swung around us, and telling us we might see some Rain on the weekend.

We watched a few more episodes about “WWII” and another program highlighting some of the Inventions made then, that are still being used today.

We’ll be busy tomorrow.

This has almost become a common cycle of good and bad nights sleeping. After Two good, hopefully last night was the One bad. It was another back and forth night for me, which meant that even though Kathy had taken her pill against Restless Leg Syndrome, she woke up wondering why her nighttime friends had called an Ambulance. ????

Having noticed that a Hurricane had been ungraded to a Category 4, just as I was about to shut down for the night, had me checking the Radar more thoroughly. I was amazed that the previous storm had just gone just north the Hawaiian Islands and this though stronger will trek just a touch further away. The rest of my night was between my Recliner and Bed.

I was in the process of getting a breakfast snack ready when Kathy came out asking that question. It felt like a slap in the face because her friends had disappeared when she started with those pills.

With our Coffees at our Computers after checking the forecast for today, I then checked my E-mail to see my Amazon Package had been delivered. That meant we were going for a ride, but first I started cooking up lunch. First I cubed the remaining Hotdogs into the Frying Pan, then added Brown Sugar to the Baked Beans heating in a Sauce Pan. Once the Toast popped and everything was assembled, we were ready to eat. It was tasty and filling.

With the Humidex already feeling like 102 F (39 C), Kathy waited by the rear entrance while I got the Car.

Our first destination was Guardian Storage for Two Reasons. The first was to collect my Amazon package and the second was to straighten out the Mess their accounting had created. They started charging my account every Twenty-Eight Days rather than once a Month that was originally agreed upon. That results in paying twice a month once a Year. If you are on a fixed income, that puts you in overdraft fast.

After getting that straightened up, Kathy was curious why I was putting a box the size of a Toaster in the backseat. Saying it was for the Truck, we headed to Windsor Gas and Diesel to drop it off. I was shocked when Jim opened the package to find another box, the size of a Coffee Mug. The component inside would fit in a Tea Cup, but it will stop Kathy from driving off by herself.

We wanted to do some walking exercise and since we did Walmart last, today we walked around the Zehr’s grocery store. Unfortunately when we found a parking spot close to the door, by the time Kathy got inside, she could hardly breathe, until the Air Conditioned Air helped her out. Fruits and Vegetables have not been this low priced in months and we could even afford a container of Frozen Yogurt that was double the price last week.

Kathy had the same breathing problem getting in the Car, so when I offered to drop her at the front entrance to our building she didn’t object. I used our Folding Two-Wheeled Shopping-Cart to bring everything upstairs. The AC felt good but by the time everything was put away, the moment I sat down my eyes slammed shut. I woke over an Hour later. Kathy said I probably needed it, but it cut into my prep time for supper. That will now be tomorrow night’s supper and we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza for tonight.

Our granddaughter Kylla called to see how we were doing, but her Phone kept on crackling so bad that we could hardly make out everything she was saying.

On the “6 o’clock Local News” there was plenty happening in the County, but the biggest thing was the grand opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge to the public. As a ceremonial jester his grandson Gordie Howe and his wife were the first to drive across, followed by a gentleman with his grandsons in a 1925 Ford Model “T”. From there it was free flowing traffic. The Ambassador Bridge will still be in use, but we have needed a third International Crossing for a long time.

We watched more Documentaries on “WWII”. It looks like this will continue through the Cold War Era.

With bad weather heading our way, we already have Plans made.

What did the bottle of ranch say when someone that opened the refrigerator?

“Close the door, I’m dressing”.

Last night was the second night that Kathy took her medication for her Restless Leg Syndrome, but I finally took my first Half Tablet for myself. The stress that we have been thought the last few days, I just could not seem to totally relax. I barely remember leaning back in my Recliner, before my eyes snapped open over Two Hours later. I really have to learn to walk rather than stagger my way to Bed. The Sun was shining brightly when we both opened our eyes ten minutes apart this morning.

Having both had a good night’s sleep we started our day with a bowl of Cereal. After checking The Weather Network and the Radar on my Computer, I talked Kathy into going for a short neighbourhood walk before it got too Hot. Minutes later we headed up the Ganatchio Trail. We’ve both been slacking a bit too much and Kathy needed multiple rests on the park benches to catch her breathe. I had thought that we would loop around the neighbouring buildings along the Trail and the Drive but Kathy felt more comfortable retracing our steps back to our building.

We both sat for a few minutes before I started making a Homemade Salad. Not wanting to bored with the same old, I added Bacon Bits and Ranch Dressing. It wasn’t until I sat down to eat that I remembered forgetting the Olives. Oh Well, it was different.

We both had little chores we needed to do inside. Since Salad also has a Bloating effect we waited past 6:00 to enjoy Honey Garlic Spareribs, Sauteed Zucchini and Mashed Potatoes, with a bowl of Watermelon chunks for dessert.

We had time to clean up the Dishes and Kitchen before watching the movie “True Lies” with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Arnold.

Not sure what we’ll be doing tomorrow but we will be busy.
