The more different things that I try to help me sleep. the closer I am getting to my goal of sleeping entire nights in Bed. I only spent Eighty Minutes in my Recliner last night, before sleeping in Bed the remaining time. My eyes seem to sense when it is time to open lately and this morning was 8:10.
Changing my morning routine only slightly, the first thing I did was to turn on my Computer. Figuring that it is “Getting slower than Molasses”, I thought it might be usable by the time everything else was ready for breakfast. Opening the Balcony Blinds, then the Bedroom Blinds then shutting the Tower Fan, before getting our breakfast snack ready. It worked so well, I had just brought up The Weather Network when Kathy came out to join me.
After eating, then sharing the information with Kathy, she was able to dress accordingly, while I did my On-Line Questionnaire. By the time I had my “Q-Pass”, Kathy was back to finish her Coffee, as I headed to the shower.
Minutes after I was finished, we headed out the door but only got about Twenty Feet away when I remember needing my Appointment Book. With the Book in hand, we made it all the way to the Elevator, when Kathy realized that she had forgotten her Jacket. Third time was a charm, where we made it all the way to the First Floor, just as John the building Maintenance Man was about to go up. I had been looking for him to report a problem with our Kitchen Drain. We could drain our entire bathtub faster than it does and I have been adding Drain Cleaner. Either the P-Trap will need replacing or the line will need to be cleaned out. This Building was erected in 1960, so it probably needs a good cleaning. Since I won’t be available on Friday, he’ll stop in on Monday.
Luckily, the last time I book this appointment, the only time open was for 11:20. We walked into the Canadian Blood Services with a minute to spare. Kathy was busy reading, while I made my 168th Blood/Plasma Donation and booked my next appointment with the condition that the Surgeon agreed I was fit to do so.
It was 1:00 by the time we pulled out of their parking lot and the first thing Kathy said was, “Whats for Lunch?” I asked her to make a choice, but she said it was up to me.
There are areas in the City that I call Fast-Food Alleys and just up the road was one. When I gave Kathy two names to choose from, she said Arby’s. With another appointment nearby, we took our time eating. It was tasty, enjoyable and filling, but we still ate too fast.
Since this was in the area, where as a kid, I had a Newspaper Route, I gave Kathy a guided tour of my youth. Lots of the houses have been replaced with Townhouses. The elementary school I attended has been replaced with a more modern building and the house I grew up in, is now a Parking Lot. As the saying goes, “You can never go home again”, is very true.
Not wanting to use a week's worth of gas in an afternoon, we parked facing Fantastic Sam’s. Kathy got a little agitated about just sitting there, but when we make an appointment with Julia to do our Haircuts, I was not going to let another stylist do it. Julia had us looking human in no time but gave us some Bad News as we were about to leave. The owner of the franchise is closing this location after Christmas, so we discussed alternative appointments. She will know more as the last day nears.
As we started making our way for home, traffic seemed to be in a Deadlock. We were in the middle of Rush-Hour Traffic and there were Construction Detours everywhere, but this was worse than we had seen before. As we neared Pillette Road, the flashing lights told the story and so did the mangled vehicles.
Since it had taken Three Times as long to get where we were, Kathy simply said Wendy’s. Thankfully, we still have Coupons. When we waddled out, the last thing we were thinking of was eating.
After watching the “6 o’clock Local News” we also watched a few documentaries on the History Channel.
Kathy headed to Bed by 10:00 and I’ll be there a soon as I can. Tomorrow will be the last day to get things ready for Friday, so we’ll be busy.

I have a great joke about nepotism,
but I’ll only tell it to my kids.
