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.

166th, Weird Banking and The Ministry of Transportation.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

It was the start of another sleepless night and I was not going to put up with it. I took a dose of ZzzQuil, tipped back in my Recliner and the moment I started feeling my eyes growing heavy, I headed off Bed to join Kathy. What I did not do, was to set the Alarm but we only woke an Hour past the time I wanted to do.

Kathy said she slept like a rock and never woke the entire night, until I kissed her this morning. After our snack we headed to the Computers with our Coffees. My main objective was to try one last time to fill out a Questionnaire that stopped working months ago, when they expected you to book your next appointment at the same time. The Questionnaire worked perfectly but there was no sign of where to book the next appointment. We barely had enough time to head out the door to head across town. Surprisingly even with the cooler temperature, the Sun plus a Cloudless sky made opening the Car doors feel like standing in front of a Blast Furnace. The drive along Riverside Drive made for a relaxing ride.

Being too Hot to sit outside, Kathy sat in the Lounge area at the Canadian Blood Services, while I signed in and did my customary interview, then made my Donation. When I mentioned being able to do the Questionnaire for the first time in a while, Ashley mentioned others had complained about having troubles as well and it suddenly worked today. I also got some information about whether the Anesthetic Medication would affect my ability to donate and the answer is, “It Won’t”. An Hour later we were on our way after I made my 166th Donation.

We stopped to collect our Mail at Guardian Storage before having lunch at Arby’s. Using their Five-Dollar Menu helps to keep our cost down there. I mentioned during our meal having noticed a strange E-Mail from the Bank saying questionable dealings have been taking place in our Chequing Account. Since we were close to a branch, Kathy suggested checking into it.

After a Five Minute wait the teller listened to our concerns before he surveyed the last Six Months. He then told us that every month the minimum amount necessary to pay our Line of Credit was being taken from our Chequing Account, even though we have been paying well above that on our own. They should try looking at Numbers before messing with our accounts.

Back at our Apartment, Kathy started opening her Mail finding one that said she had been in an Accident the day she went for a drive. She has to get a Doctor’s Clearance, or they will cancel her Driver’s License. She was never in an Accident and though we tried calling the Ministry of Transportation, we were disconnected at the end of their day. To say she was upset was an understatement.

Tonight we shared a Bacon/Veggie Omelette for supper with a small dish of Frozen Yogurt for dessert.

We watched a single episode of “Bones” before turning on a Movie. It was cute but Ten Minutes in, Kathy said she wasn’t interested so I shut it off. I find these for her to watch.

Not sure what we’ll be doing tomorrow, but we will be busy, Rain or Shine.
