It's about time.

Wonderful Night, Drenching Heat and Thunderstorm.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I’m hoping that this doesn’t become a repeating routine, where one night is good and the next bad. After Two bad nights, I had a good one, then repeat one really Bad. That left me totally washed out so I wasn’t taking any chances last night. I added a single Capsule of ZzzQuil, a sleep aide and an Extra Strength Tylenol to my nighttime Medications before tipping back in my Recliner. When I opened my eyes, it was 4:00 in the morning. I stumbled my way to Bed, waking up minutes before Kathy after 9:00. I needed that!

We settled for our typical breakfast snack at the table, before taking our Coffees to our Computers. We were just getting ready to run a few errands when my Cell Phone started ringing, but as I tried answering, it disconnected. I was a little concerned when it showed our daughter Rose’s name and number, so I naturally called back in case it was an Emergency. When I said that I was calling her back, she started laughing. Our Four-Year-Old Granddaughter was playing with her mother’s phone and saw the word Dad next to my number and for a Four-Year-Old, Dad only means her Dad. We both had a laugh and even Maryam apologized for calling. I told Rose to change that to Granddad’s number.

With the temperatures supposed to be almost as bad as the last Two Days, we were headed out to beat the warmer temperatures. Kathy waited while I brought the Car close to the door and still felt the Heat after walking only Fifteen Feet.

Our first stop was Wendy’s to get lunch. Being able to use Coupons helps us to afford this. With their Air Conditioning fixed after failing the other day, Families, Couples and Individuals filled the Diningroom while there was a constant flow of traffic using the Drive-Thru. They must have been busy earlier, because lots of Chairs were pulled away from the tables. While Kathy used the washroom and the staff were busy taking care of filling other customers orders, I went around pushing them all back in place.

Stopping for our Mail at Guardian Storage, paid off big time today.

Our last stop was the Zehr’s grocery store. It was amazing how many things we finished off in the Fridge since Tuesday. Of course, everything we were needing today, was not “On Sale”. One thing I am happy that I did, was to use Two Insulated Bags thick on the Frozen Foods we did get. By the time they were put in our Freezer, they were starting to get soft.

After dropping Kathy at the front entrance to our building, I used our Folding Two-Wheeled Shopping-Cart to bring everything up to the Apartment. It was a lite load, but it would have been too much for my Shoulder.

Thankfully, we had left the Air Conditioner on while we were away, so after being exposed to 95 F (35 C) temperatures that felt like 113 F (45 C), it felt soothing. Once everything was put away, I loaded the Shopping Cart with our Recycle Containers and Insulated Shopping Bags. I walk by other tenants that were looking out through the doors but were too scared to go outside. After emptying our Recycle Containers in the Outside Bins, I returned the Shopping Cart and Shopping Bags to the back of the Car. Carrying only our empty Recycle Containers when I went back inside, everyone was amazed that I was not dripping with sweat like a few of them were.

We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza while watching the “6 o’clock Local News”. while the Weather Guesser was telling us there was the possibility of a Thunderstorm in our area, I noticed the Black Clouds starting to fill the sky, through the Balcony Door. Five Minutes later, the Horizontal Rain was so intense, we could not see the parking lot below. Ten Minutes later things were drying and the Clouds breaking up as the outside temperature had dropped to 70 F (21 C).

We later watched a few episodes of “Law and Order, Special Victims Unit”.

Not certain what we’ll be doing tomorrow, but hopefully it won’t be sitting inside.
