Since I try to avoid setting the Alarm, I have also gotten to appreciate getting as much sleep as I can. Unfortunately. It seems the more sleep I get, the moment I sit down at my Computer, no matter what time of day, my Eyes attempt to put me back to sleep. A good example was after totalling just over Eight Hours connected to both my CPAP Machines last night, when I sat reading Blogs this afternoon, Twice I had to walk around the Apartment to wake up. Yet, on my less restful nights, I seem to be wide awake the entire day.
It was nice to only spend a short time in my Recliner, then to soundly sleep in Bed the remainder of the night. I had barely left the Bedroom when Kathy was already joining me to start the day. That started with Hug and a Kiss and a Hug around the Neck, (as one of her ole time ditty goes). This would be more of a Special Day, that she had not expected.
After finishing our Coffees and cleaning up, with my encouragement, Kathy donned her New Outfit that she only purchased yesterday. Then with perfect timing we headed out shortly after 11:00. To explain the type of day it was, Kathy stayed inside the rear entrance to the building, while I walked around a small flock of Mallard Ducks searching the abutting grass for morsels.
Soon we were on our way to Wendy’s for an early lunch. Paula instantly wanted to know what we were doing there, knowing the importance of this day. Assured it was simply for lunch, and the main event would be taking place later, we were served in a flash. It is surprising that simply having an order of Chicken Nuggets holds us over as much as the full-sized sandwiches used to do.
Next, we drove over to Walmart, and it was not for the purpose of shopping, Kathy was a tad overdressed but was ready for what was to come. Inside was the Kiosk for Service Ontario and today was Kathy’s Birthday. Though she does not look her age, she now had to take a Test in order to renew her Driver’s License. The only issue she had was that when she first got her License some time back, everything was in Standard Measurement and now it is Metric. Because of Kathy’s excellent driving record, the examiner did the conversions for her. I thought for certain that I would be consoling her when she came out but instead, she had a smile on her face and the temporary license in hand until her new one comes in. The sense of accomplishment will hold her over for the next Two Years. I’ll still do the majority of the driving but know in an emergency she can back me up is good.
We headed back to our Apartment, where we spent time finishing our E-Reading from this morning. I struggled to stay awake. Kathy believed that we were going to our daughter Karen’s for supper and could not understand why we were going to our granddaughter’s place first. Once I told her that Kylla wanted to show her the place, so she calmed down. Then she kept saying we should get over there. Knowing that I had to stall, I delayed our departure until 5:00.
Arriving at her building, we were surprised how far the Visitors Parking was to the entrance. Kylla greeted us at the front door and made the excuse that we were taking a short cut. Behind the magic door in the Party Room, was the rest of the family singing Happy Birthday to Kathy. She was shocked when she was presented with her Birthday Sash and Tiara. The best part was all the hugs and kisses that she got.
There was homemade Food Contributions along with Party Takeout. Broast Chicken, Penne, Coleslaw, Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, Cream Cheese Peppers Hot and Mild. Of course, Kathy always grabs the Hot ones by mistake, that I gladly enjoyed. Before anyone got too far another round of Happy Birthday was sang then Cake was served. As is traditional, everyone had leftovers to bring home.
While I retrieved the Car, they helped bring everything out that we would take home. With only short stop by the door, Kathy and everything else was loaded, before we were on our way home.
Dropping Kathy at the front entrance was a necessity due to the fresh round of Drizzle. With the Four Ways on, I made Two Trips to bring everything up, before I parked the Car. Kathy was totally excited and tired. Though I was able to start writing the Blog as soon as we got home, I will be joining her in Bed soon.
Not sure what we will be doing tomorrow.
