In an attempt to break my Restless Nights, I even resorted to taking an Extra Strength Tylenol before trying to sleep last night. After tossing in my Recliner like the night before, I chose to take less than a Teaspoon of ZzzQuil out of desperation, before going straight to Bed. Another Two Hours later, my Shoulder Pain was too much and I was back in my Recliner.

I’ve mentioned that if the Clock is showing 8:00 or later in the morning, I start my day. I started early today at 7:56 from my Recliner.

With only Eleven Days before my Shoulder Surgery, it cannot come fast enough. That was exactly the way I felt before my Hip Surgery. Like before, not many people look forward to Surgeries, but when Relief is expected as an afterthought, you do.

I had finished all my E-Reading, before waking Kathy. After our breakfast snack, I was able to investigate a few things of interest. I even managed to start making Salmon Sandwiches for lunch as a way of using food stocks before they go bad, with hopes of replacing them in the next week with fresh stocks. We even finished the last of the Cookies as dessert.

It was time to get moving and the outside temperature was perfect. The only bad thing was getting out of the building with Northerly Winds blowing. As soon as we were down on the Ganatchio Trail there was less of a breeze. Lucky for us, there are Benches spaced along the Trail for people with health issues. We headed west as a way of seeing something different. If we use the City Sidewalks, they have a slight sloped for winter runoff, which adds to any Pain you may have in your Feet, Legs, Hips or Shoulders. The Trail is completely flat so we can go further. We made a few stops to rest, have some water and get in a few puppy snuggles as they went by. We made it all the way to Lauzon Road, where Kathy suggested walking up to Riverside Drive. After being reminded of the Sidewalk Slopes and told of the extra Thousand Feet she’d be walking, we returned on the Trail where there were benches and shade from the Sun.

We had been gone for nearly Two Hours, some of that was spent sitting to rest. According to the Computer, we had walked nearly Two Miles. It has been sometime since we walked that far outside, but we are hoping it will help us to sleep better tonight.

While watching the “6 o’clock Local News” the Weather Guesser made an unwelcome change to our forecast. Though he said one thing, the Radar on my Computer shows something far different.

It was nearly 7:00 when we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza for a late supper, watching a few different episodes on the History Channel.

We’ll make a Shopping List before heading out tomorrow.

Instead of getting back into the swing of comfortably sleeping in Bed at night, it seems that I am making up for all the steps that I don’t get during the day, wearing a path in the Apartment. Feeling the way that I do when waking up in the morning, I could swear that I barely slept, probably because I didn’t. When I look at the Clock in the morning, if it reads anything after 8:00, I force myself up, avoiding any kind of Naps throughout the day, in hopes of getting a better night’s sleep the next night.

While getting some morning E-Reading in before waking Kathy this morning, I found that some Longtime Bloggers took my advice about moderating comments themselves. Allowing Blogger to do it on your behalf will leave you with Zero Comments. When you find Unwanted Comments, it is easy enough to delete them. Many of your true followers will actually stop leaving Comments, when they do not see them post instantly.

It was back to the breakfast snacks this morning with Coffees at our Computers. Once I had completed, that, I tried using a couple of different Prepackaged Foods to see if they would be worth having as a standby, if we were running late enough for an appointment, that eating out would take too long. According to the instructions on one, it said to Microwave for Ninety Seconds. Being that I cooked the Rice, Chicken Balls and Plum Sauce all at once, I should have pushed it to Two Minutes instead. We’ll try again another time.

You have heard me talk about using a Calendar Book to keep track of all our appointments. I know you can do it on your phones, but I find this also acts as a good reminder of when we did things. Doctors don’t like it when I bring up dates, simply by looking in my Book and reminding them. Besides the few times I did use my Phone, it kept sending me alerts days ahead and I could never fix it, so the old tried and true, still works for us. Unfortunately, some of our Doctors have already started giving us appointments for next year, back in August. By luck, we found a couple of 2026 to 2028 Calendars, so I spent the early part of the afternoon, filling in those appointments. Would you believe, we don’t have any appointments for November, yet.

I had Planned, that we would go walking again and possibly eat supper out. As we were driving towards Tecumseh Road, Kathy said she needed something at Walmart. Walking is exercise, so that was where we headed. There was not a single Shopping Cart available inside, so Kathy waited until I returned with one abandoned between cars in the parking lot. Unfortunately, by the time I got back to Kathy, she had forgotten what she wanted so badly. We spent the next Hour picking up a few groceries. With the inclusion of some Frozen Yogurt, and 75F (24 C) outside temperatures, we had to go straight for home.

Back at the Car we were able to put the Frozen Foods in our Insulated Shopping Bags, but due to all the canned goods included, we needed to use our Folding Two-Wheeled Shopping Cart to bring it up to our Apartment.

Instead of going back out to eat, we enjoyed Sauteed Zucchini, Perogies and Spareribs for supper and we did not even have any Frozen Yogurt for dessert.

We later watched Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. As soon as Kathy saw cars, trucks and planes turning into Giant Robots, she only stopped watching the screen when there were commercials.

Hopefully, I’ll be in Bed soon, so maybe we’ll get more walking and grocery shopping done tomorrow.
