It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Picking Up The Pieces.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Even though the CPAP Machines showed that I was connected for slightly over Eight Hours combined last night, it does not allow for all the time you are “Sleeping With One Eye Open”. As soon as I started getting things ready for our breakfast snack and Coffee, I simply told Kathy we had a Doctor’s Appointment to wake her up this morning and she never resisted.

We had just checked The Weather Network when Lisa called to confirm our appointment but reminded me that they close early on Fridays. Minutes later we were walking out the door. Kathy wondered why the Car was parked next to the Truck. When I mention that was where she parked it yesterday, her retort was “Yeah Right”. (Another term that she never uses)

I struggled to get from the Car into the Office because of Hip Pain and by the time I did Kathy was standing in the doorway of an Examination Room. Showing her One Moment, I slipped a written note to Lisa that she gave to George.

Kathy and I were talking when George came in and started asking how we were doing, I mentioned the medication for Kathy’s Restless Leg Syndrome was helping and she agreed. He asked her if there was anything exciting going on. She honestly answered, though it changed repeatedly. I handed him the papers from the Ministry of Transportation and explained why they needed to be filled in but he said that he had to forward them to the Neurologist immediately. Explaining that I have been trouble sleeping, he gave me a prescription I had used after my Hip Surgery, then extended the prescription for Kathy’s medications. She was very happy when we left.

Our breakfast snack did not hold us over like the other ones used to, so we headed to the nearby Wendy’s. It was nearly 11:00 so we ordered Chicken Nuggets for lunch. Their AC was so cold inside that we were freezing. It felt wonderful to step outside where it felt closer to 90 F (32 C).

Thinking we would get the Prescriptions as we crossed town, I made the mistake of going down Wyandotte Street and totally forgot about the Underpass Resurfacing. There are no warning signs before the final alternate route, so there was a steady line of traffic turning around in the Street itself. We headed towards Riverside Drive only to get snarled into an Accident tie-up.

When I walked into Health First Pharmacy, Chris the Pharmacist was all smiles saying they would be ready in Twenty Minutes. Thinking we would be back later, we headed to collect our Mail at Guardian Storage. Even with lots of traffic, it was clear sailing down Jefferson. There was lots of Junk Mail but nothing worthwhile. I asked Kathy if she wanted to walk around the Mall or Walmart, but she said that she would rather go home.

We were busy catching up on our E-reading when Kathy suggested we go walk around the stores. It wasn’t long before we were back at Walmart. I mentioned how my new Socks felt and got a couple more pair. We looked at a lot of Women’s Clothes but could not find anything that appealed to Kathy’s taste. We finally ended up getting a lot of things to bring home from the Grocery Section.

Having forgotten about the Medications, we headed back to Health First Pharmacy. Chris surprised me with another refill from the Pain Care Clinic as well.

As we were unloading our purchases, the sky to the North was dark but the one to the South was nearly Black with Clouds. That could only mean one thing, and we were not going to wait around for it.

We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza while we watched the “6 o’clock Local News”. The Weather Guesser said the LaSalle area had just got hammered with Rain. Better them then us.

Our son Kevin called to see how we were doing. Kathy spoke for herself, but again it constantly changed. We found out that Melissa had been singing at the Legion recently but did not know because they posted it on Facebook which we have not used in over Six Months. Next time Kevin will call us beforehand.

We watched an interesting episode of “Law and Order, Special Victims Unit” when they dug into the Cause.

We’ll see what we’ll be doing tomorrow.
