It's about time.

Appointment, Eating Out and Fun Visit.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

It does not matter what we do in life, there are always Numbers involved. Since we had an appointment later today, we tried to get to bed earlier last night. Kathy was asleep, before I had typed the first word on the keyboard, but the moment the Blog was published. I shut down for the night.

With just over Ninety Minutes in my Recliner, I trekked off to Bed. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to take care of business before trying to sleep. I must have been tired because the time had moved considerably on the Clock when I returned. Reconnected, I did not wake again until I thought it was time to start my day at 7:35. Here is where the numbers come in. The time spent using my Old CPAP Machine, plus the time spent using my New CPAP Machine, not counting any travel time, added up to Seven Hours and Thirty-Five Minutes. I rechecked, but that was what those times added up to.

As I was checking The Weather Network on my Computer, I could hear Kathy making the Bed. That gave me a sign to start making breakfast, but I did not do that. Since we did not know when we would be having lunch, I made Brunch. I cleaned up the Leftover Stir-Fry and created a Veggie Omelette that we shared.

After getting cleaned up, we were soon heading out the door. Unfortunately, with the Cold North Wind blowing off the Detroit River, we realized that we should have better layered up. Instead, we started heading for Amherstburg.

The last time we took that route was on Boxing Day, when we attended the Family Christmas Gathering. We were surprised to see empty properties along the way, that had older homes that short time back. With Excavators and Bulldozers already on site, it was clear that another Housing Development was beginning with the loss of more fertile farmland.

We arrived at River Towne Dental with time to spare. We were surprised when they called me in before Kathy, which is the norm. Unfortunately, Sean was delayed while performing a Root Canal, so we both had to wait for his check of approval. Because I have a Partial Plate, one of the prongs has worn into the Anchor Tooth, so it will need to be repaired at a later date.

It was past 3:00 when we left and our Brunch had worn off after Six Hours. Tired of eating at a lot of Fast-Food Eateries, we agreed to eat at a restaurant called Gilligan’s today. The food and atmosphere were good but the price was reflective of the surroundings.

It was past 4:00 when we headed to the nearby Dollarama. We took the time to walk the store as a means of exercise, all while picking up a loaf of Bread that was needed back home.

Our next stop was to our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s home for a visit. We arrived earlier than expected but still had the chance to visit with Kevin for a while. It was slightly after 6:00 when Melissa was able to join us. We had the chance to talk about anything from Family Issues, Phones, Food Costs and our Vehicles.

When it was time to head for home, the temperature was noticeably colder, so I dropped Kathy off a the front entrance to our building, while I parked the Car.

Inside, I got an earlier start to writing the Blog and everything was going well until it wasn’t. In the middle of a paragraph, a message flashes that my Battery was at low power and was shutting down. I exercise the Battery daily by disconnecting the power at the Computer. This time the Power Cord had worked its way out of the Power Bar causing me to move furniture to get it running again.

We later watched the “11 o’clock Local News” where the Weather Guesser showed we are heading for a Week of warmer wet weather that could trigger Flooding. It is nice that Spring is nearly here.

Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment, unless it personally attacks someone for their opinion, or is Spam.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
