You should automatically expect that I had another back and forth night, between my Recliner and Bed. The strange part was how I would immediately fall asleep each time, but when I woke up the Pain, had me moving back to my former location.
Knowing that when I have a restless night, it not only affects my sleep but Kathy’s as well. When I woke at 8:02 this morning, I figured that she could use some catch up sleep. After getting things ready for a breakfast snack, I headed over to wake up my Computer. It takes a lot longer to do that, then I do myself. Waiting for that to happen, I realized how alert I was at the moment. Quite some time back, I had noted that the more sleep I got at night, when I could, the more I seemed to need it and the less alert I was.
I had nearly completed my morning E-Reading when I heard Kathy moving around the Bedroom. Every morning, the first thing she does when she gets up, is to make the Bed even before her personal needs.
As we ate, I laid out a list of things we had to do and around what time. I kept bringing up the words Rain and Storm but looking out at the clear Sunny sky, Kathy had a hard time to believe that. We finished our morning routines before we were heading out the door by noon hour.
With breakfast being a snack, we headed to Burger King to take advantage of their Whopper Wednesday deals. Lucky, for us, a car was pulling out just as we arrived. Inside, the place was packed with elbow to elbow people. Luckily, many of the outside workers were getting their orders to go. Burger King has revamped their cooking processes and it has really enhanced the flavour of their food. I sent Kathy to find a table, while I ordered and brought the food over. I noticed lately, that because my Hip continues to bother me, so I use my Cane as a means of staying upright. Another thing about using a Cane and balancing a tray of Food and Drinks does, the elbow to elbow gang seem to make way as if I was driving a Semi through the Diningroom.
Our next stop was Dollarama, where we got Breakfast Juice and Drain Cleaner at a more reasonable price than the Grocery Store. (Not to worry, life has not gotten bad enough to mix those kind of cocktails.)
We have been watching the Oil Prices dropping on the Local News lately and have been using the Truck more lately. All that lead to a surprise this morning, when I noticed how low the Car was getting. We headed to our favourite Pioneer gas station, to rectify the problem. Even $50.00 did not fill the tank.
Being across the street from the Expressway on ramp we took advantage of it to get across town quicker.
Our next stop was VitalAire to pick up CPAP Supplies needed to keep our Machines working for another Six Months.
Since everything had moved faster than I expected, we now had extra time to use up. The sky was full of Clouds by that time, so we went to Tim Hortons to have a Coffee and just relax. Kathy and I don’t follow Sports, but it seemed that everyone else in that location did, screaming across the room to their friends. It got so loud that Kathy had to remove her Hearing Aides. We left as soon as our Coffees were done.
Looking at my Radar this morning, had shown a Thunderstorm would be starting around the same time as our appointment, so we waited inside Fantastic Sam’s. The Clouds started to darken, but Julia walked in nice and dry. By the time we walked out looking human again, there were only a few Raindrops on the Car.
Kathy insisted on helping me to carry our purchases inside, not worried if we got wet. In the Apartment, the Fans had kept the temperature at a comfortable setting. We finished the morning reading before looking out to see Dry Asphalt. Since the “6 o’clock Local News” was preempted by the FIFA World Soccer Match, we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza for a late supper.
We were just finishing that when we heard the first rumbles of Thunder and looked out to see everything getting very wet. This should continue all night and all day tomorrow. We’ll find something to do.
