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 Sleep, One Down and Where The Smoke Was.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After those restless nights of staring at the ceiling, there was no way I wanted to repeat that last night. Just as Kathy was about to go to Bed, I took my Nighttime Medications but this time I added the Extra Strength Tylenol before. By relieving the Pain before I tried to sleep, I only woke long enough to move from my Recliner to the Bed. The next time I woke up was to start my day.

I still let Kathy sleep in while I started my morning reading. This has been a strange week with Temperatures well below the norm for our area. We are usually in the upper Eighties F (Low Thirties C) but we have been hovering in the lower Seventies F (Low Twenties C). When Kathy came out to join me, she commented how well she slept last night.

When it comes to exercising, I have always been told that eating before would cause problems, so I tried it myself to know for certain, and the Doctors were right. Now it seems the same rule holds true for me when we go shopping or I have a simple job to do. Something as little as a snack for breakfast caused plenty of discomfort and bloating. We had Hotdog Wraps with a bit of Mustard for lunch, and the same thing started happening.

Running out of comfortable temperature days to work in, we headed back to Guardian Storage. We collected the Mail, before heading back to the Trailer. With Kathy’s help to position the Headboard Trim, I was able to start all the Screws but that was as far as I could go. I was using a cheap Dollar Store Screwdriver. Just the pressure of my turning the handle destroyed the Tip. What to do? What to do? Hey I still had my Professional Grade Tools in the Storage Unit. Kathy stayed in the Trailer for Security, while I retrieved the Tools I needed. Later when I no longer had the strength to turn the Screws in any further, I was able to use the Professional Feature these tools have. The Shanks are made of Hexagon Material that allowed me to use an Adjustable Wrench to drive the Screw to the depth I needed.

The next problem was being able to straighten my body and stand up again. With Kathy’s help and the Load Straps that were still in place, we even got the Mattress from the Kitchen and back on its base upstairs. By that time, we were both done.

We noticed the fuel prices had again dropped again today as we passed our favourite Gas Station.

We stopped at the Credit Union to deposit another Government Cheque, before driving to the nearby Michigan Diner for supper. We enjoyed Halibut Fish with Sweet Potato Fries for our meal.

We then rushed through the Zehr’s grocery store for only a select few food stocks, before finally heading home. We still needed our Two-Wheeled Folding Shopping-Cart to bring everything upstairs.

The Weather Guesser on the “6 o’clock Local News” guaranteed a nice Father’s Day for this area. Having looked a my Radar, Monday is not going to be nice. The Smoke we saw yesterday afternoon, was the result of Contractors repairing the roof of a Restaurant not far from the Dollarama that we frequent.

We later watched a few episodes of “Law and Order, Special Victims”.

We’ll be busy tomorrow.

Which is faster, hot or cold?


Hot, because you can always catch a cold.
