It was another wonderful night, with spending only Two Plus Hours sleeping in my Recliner, with an additional Six Plus Hours in Bed. I did not even make it to the Kitchen when Kathy came out to join me.
After
having only Blueberry
Muffins for
breakfast, then taking our Coffees
to the Computers,
I was surprised when Kathy suggested going for a walk. Since the
Balcony Door
was already ajar I started checking what the actual temperature was.
By 10:00
this morning the Humidex
was already at 90
F (32
C)
and climbing. Since she is not fond of Hot
Sticky Temperatures,
I suggested we wait until after lunch to
go store
walking.
For
lunch I tried something different and though I have a lot of learning
to do, it still came out satisfying to
me.
I created Tomato/Bacon
on Cheddar
Cheese Grilled Sandwiches.
Though I was happy, Kathy said the Bacon
should
have been Crunchier,
where I made it well done but not Crunchy.
Just
before stepping out the door at 1:00,
I rechecked the temperature, to find our Humidex
had increased to 97
F
(36
C),
with Southerly
Wind Gusts reaching
27
MPH
(43
KLH).
Since Kathy had just closed the Balcony
Door,
she did not think it was that Hot.
When we walked out the rear entrance to the building, she changed her
mind. I have mentioned before,
the
way our building and the one to our east create a Vortex
for the Wind.
It nearly blew Kathy off her feet and reminded me of the Heat
I
experienced from the Huge
Metal Melting Furnaces
that I worked around on daily basis for Thirty-Six
Years.
In the Car,
we had to turn on the Air
Conditioning.
We headed to Walmart, where we had the chance to walk around in the Air Conditioned store. Even though I will be returning to exercising at the Gym, I am presently stuck wearing clothes that are on the tight side. I had to invest in pants before Christmas for the same reason, but even those were tight when I bought them. With larger sizes to look through this early in the season, I can now walk around comfortably.
Kathy also chose to buy herself a Hat, even though she does not recall all the other Hats she has at the Apartment. She also wanted a Lite-Weight Water Bottle that she can carry when we go for our walks. We walked from one end of Walmart to the other, with no luck. We then went to Canadian Tire, that has all kinds of Sporting Goods, but no luck. We headed to the Dollarama nearest our home. Though it was not what I had hoped to find, Kathy was very happy with her new walking mug.
Since it was nearly 4:00 so we drove to the other end of the parking lot to Mary Brown’s chicken for supper. There was only one customer leaving with her order when we arrived, but by the time we sat down to eat, there was a steady stream of customers taking advantage of their Mary Brown’s Monday Special.
Knowing the forecast had called for afternoon Thunderstorms, it was no surprised when I looked out towards the West at the Dark Clouds filling the sky. Another customer walking in said, that he hoped we brought our Umbrellas. As soon as we finished eating we were out the door.
I dropped Kathy at the front entrance to our building before parking the Car. I just finished tying the Shopping Bag Handles together, when an Extra Hard Wind Gust hit so hard, I nearly fell over and the Sales Receipt blew out of the bag, flying twenty times faster than I could move. The Vortex between the buildings had blown it in the Detroit River before I got to the rear entrance.
We were able to cool down by opening the Balcony Door, but due to the threat of a Thunderstorm, we left the Bedroom Window closed. Just as we cooled down a bit, the Rain started coming down in waves so hard that it blew over the one Plant we had out on the Balcony. We had no choice but to shut the Door for a while.
While
Kathy and I were talking this
evening,
I mentioned the Hat
she purchased. According to her recollection, she didn’t buy a Hat.
Without the Receipt,
I was just lucky enough to find it on my side of the Closet.
Then she remembered.
Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for more Rain. What else should we expect for a day of appointments.
