After a rough day like yesterday, I did not know how my night would be. Surprisingly, once we got home, it was as if nothing had gone on. Up close and personal is one thing, but my Mental Well-Being had taken a hike.

Kathy was in Bed by 10:30, while I finished up the Blog. Once it was published it was my time to relax but the stress had taken its toll. It took longer than normal for my body to accept my eyes were closed. It turned into a back-and-forth night, but at least the time I spent in Bed helped Kathy wake refreshed and rested.

After our breakfast snack we tuned into our Computers just long enough to check The Weather Network and drink our Coffees. Our daughter Karen had warned us yesterday, that her Insurance Agent would probably be calling Kathy about last week’s accident. Sure enough, as soon as we started drinking our Coffees, he called.

It was a blistering 43 F (6 C) this morning, a big difference to earlier in the week and we would eventually climb to 64 F (18 C), but not before we got home.

Kathy said that she wanted to go walking, which sounded good to me but as we were about to go out the door, she said “Someplace different”. Being a typical guy, I had not thought of that but then I remembered the perfect place to go.

With the Winds blowing from the Northeast, we headed out the front entrance to avoid the Wind Vortex that we constantly experience on the East side of the building. As soon as we stepped out the door. It felt like the Wind had changed direction just to make us suffer.

Our walking destination was where I had taken Kathy yesterday, before suffering the anguish of defeat. Reaume Park/Coventry Gardens is located just up Riverside Drive from out home. Luckily for us, we had worn our Denim Jackets. Unfortunately, with the Northeasterly Wind, we should have worn our Winter Coats. The open waters of the Detroit River only amplified the harshness. We moved inland from the shoreline, following the tree lined paths. There was no walking with a purpose otherwise we would have been knocking others over in the attempt. We lasted nearly an Hour, before we enjoyed the warmth of the Car blocking the 30 Mph (50 KLM) Wind Gusts.

With a few errands still to run, the next place we went to was the Credit Union. Recently there has been an increase in Counterfeiting and we had some Cash that fell in that category. Lots of businesses are not accepting those denominations. Not being able to tell the difference, the Teller verified they were legit, then had me watch as they went through the Magic Machine and received a Green Light. I simply deposited them in both our accounts.

It was 1:30 by that time so we went to Arby’s for lunch. We both felt good after our walk and talked while we ate. I mentioned needing to stop at the grocery store before going home. Kathy mentioned wanting to go see her brother Danny, who she has not seen in a long time. (Yesterday!)

After picking up Potatoes and a few other things at Zehr’s grocery store, the cashier informed me that I could not redeem a Ten Dollar Coupon from Shoppers Drug Mart, even though they are owned by the same Corporation. There was only one thing to do and that was to go redeem the Ten Dollar Coupon at Shoppers Drug Mart.

With it feeling so Cold outside and the Apartment so Hot inside, we had both the Balcony Door and Bedroom Window open in a matter of seconds. Minutes later our daughter Karen called to see if Kathy would be interested on another Girls Day Outing. With the answer being “Yes”, it completely changed what we would be having for supper and when. After hearing that we had been out walking, Karen also suggested a few different Walking Trails that are further away from the open waters, for future use.

We waited until the “6 o’clock Local News” was over before sharing a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza with extra Mozzarella Cheese for supper.

We only watched a single episode of “Law and Order, Special Victims” this evening. Kathy has gone to Bed and the Alarm is set. As soon as this Blog is published, I’ll be joining her.

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.
