Five Minutes, 164th and Good Advice.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

How it happened I don’t know but it felt good. I barely spent Five Minutes staring at the Ceiling from my Recliner, before heading off to Bed. Unfortunately, after spending the last couple of days working out in the Heat, I barely spent Five Minutes there, when I had to run for the hills. Five Minutes later I headed back to my Recliner. The rest of the night was more predictable, including the Extra Strength Tylenol for all my Body Pains.

We woke up within minutes of one another and settled for a breakfast snack, before taking our Coffees to our Computers. As soon as I knew what the outside temperature was 59 F (15 C) and what it was going to be later 82 F (28 C), I had something more to do.

I tried once again, going On-Line to fill in my Preappointment Questionnaire. No matter what I did, the program would not let me connect. I finally used the Chat button and worked unsuccessfully with Mary, for over Forty Minutes. I finally signed off, just on time to head out the door.

Lucky for me, there were no Detours or heavy Traffic. Since it is spring, the Flashing Red and Blue Lights could be seen from a distance on the Overpass Hills of the Expressway. One guy was so impressed to see those Flashing Lights, he sped away throwing Gravel at the Cruiser. He got to see the Lights again.

I had just enough time to fill out the Questionnaire at the Kiosk inside the Canadian Blood Services building, while Kathy settled into a Lounge Chair reading The Debt Collector, written by our friend Nick Russell. The attendant made my next Appointment for me, before I walked out having made my 164th Donation.

Wanting something different for lunch, we headed to the Food Court at the Devonshire Mall, which is almost across the road from the Blood Services building. Our favourite vendor had changed not only his Menu, but his Prices as well. At least, we brought home enough for another meal.

It was such a good feeling day, that I forgot to stop at Walmart for a quick purchase, but headed straight home.

Even though we had left all the Fans going to circulate the air, we had to turn on the Air Conditioner for a while, to make the Apartment more comfortable.

Since we were so Hot yesterday, when Munaf told me of being T-Boned in the family van, I could not advise him what to do. His Insurance Agent was telling him that he would only get a fraction of what he just paid for the van. I told him what to tell his Agent, considering the other Driver ran the Red Light about Twenty Seconds after Munaf got the green, he better replace his vehicle. He appreciated the advice.

I went back On-Line to again try to fix the connection with the Canadian Blood Services. I could not believe that I connected with the same Mary, that I had chatted with earlier. Another Hour passed unsuccessfully, before she wrote their IT People would be in contact with me to resolve the Issue. After disconnecting, I realize that I can continue doing all this at the Blood Services building.

We were watching the “6 o’clock Local News” when we started getting hungry. We were sharing a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza with extra Mozzarella Cheese, by the time the Weather Guesser said it was going to get Hotter.

After cleaning up the Dishes, we watched the movie “The Time Traveler’s Wife”. Our daughter Karen called to check how we were doing around 9:00, but said she’d call back, after hearing about the Movie.

We have a lot to do in the next Two Days, so it will be a toss-up of which we do when.

Be Safe and Enjoy!
