It's about time.

Back To Sleep and We Were Out?

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After spending a little more time getting ready to sleep last night, when I finally did it was like someone knocked me out cold. Kathy with the help of the pill to prevent Restless Leg Syndrome, would only wake long enough to pat down my side of the Bed to see if I was there yet, which is something she has done since we were married. Once I woke from my Recliner and scrambled off to Bed, we both slept soundly until morning.

There was one difference this morning, in the Half Hour that Kathy slept later than I did, I had managed to separate all the Laundry. Yes, it was that time again. It was only Three Weeks worth compared to the one Month accumulation of the last time.

After our breakfast snack, I wanted to see when the forecasted Severe Thunderstorm would be taking over our region. According to The Weather Network and Radar, the Northwesterly Winds had changed the course of the Storm. What should have hit this morning would possibly show up later this afternoon.

We left our Coffees by our Computers and made our way to the Second Floor Laundry Room. Someone had already been there ahead of us and had Two Dryers going. The last time we were here, I had to call the Laundry Room Supplier to report another machine Out of Order, today they were all working the way they should. After loading some of the Washers, we headed back to our Apartment so we could get more E-Reading completed.

Since we had left some Washers available for others to use, the Washers on the opposite side of the room were running when we returned. Since these Dryers hold the equivalent of Two Washers, we loaded Two Dryers before reloading Three more Washers before heading back upstairs.

Every Laundry Day, we share a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for our lunch. It’s fresh, hot, satisfying and only takes Twelve Minutes to cook. We can calmly eat before heading back downstairs. You might ask, “Why we have lunch like that?” Because when we go back, the Clothes in the Dryers will be dry and the clothes in the Washers will be ready to add to the Dryers. Rather than waiting for the Dryer to finish its cycle and having to pay for a fresh load, there is still time left when we reload them and by adding an extra Seventy-Five Cents on the timer, it saves us Three Dollars for drying. We were finished folding all the Laundry and were back in the Apartment by 2:00. We did some reading as a way of cooling down, before putting everything away.

I was just about to start making supper, when our daughter Karen called to see how we were doing. Kathy told her that we had been out, rather than doing Laundry.

Since this was a new dish for me to try tonight for supper, I did what I thought would work. Like I have said many times, I am not a Chef or a Cook but a Welder. After serving my version of Chicken Parmigiana, I asked Kathy for some tips. Even in her present state, she knows how to cook. First was a smaller portion with a touch more Garlic.

On the “6 o’clock Local News” there was more talk about the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, from individuals and Truckers, how this will change crossing the Border. For years, Semis have been filling City Streets for Hours trying to cross at the Ambassador Bridge. Today there was still truck traffic, but not like the last Thirty Years. The new bridge connects directly to Highway 401 in Ontario and I-75 in Michigan, eliminating the need to travel through City Streets.

The Weather Guesser verified why the Storm swung around us, and telling us we might see some Rain on the weekend.

We watched a few more episodes about “WWII” and another program highlighting some of the Inventions made then, that are still being used today.

We’ll be busy tomorrow.
