Being
able to Sleep
an entire
night in Bed
is something that most of us take for granted. I did spend most of
the night in Bed,
it was Sleeping
all night that was elusive. Constantly waking up
just to turn over became an annoyance that I would rather avoid.
We woke minutes apart from one another this morning, so we quickly enjoyed a breakfast snack, and after checking The Weather Network and finishing our Coffees, Kathy suggested we run our errands before it got too Hot. With the rear entrance to our building blocked open, Kathy made the trek out to the Car with me, gasping for air when she finally sat down.
It was barely 10:00 when we were headed west on Riverside Drive then heading south on the Parkway. The Plan was to start at the farthest errand point, then work our way towards home.
Having seen an ad in the Bi-Monthly Princess Auto booklet, 24 Bulbs for $19.99, that was our destination. We have had a number of Light Bulbs burning out lately and even the Dollar Stores were selling their LED Bulbs around $3.00 each. I headed straight to the Surplus Section but came up dry. Asking an associate, he pointed to the end of the shelving unit I had just walked by. Another slow walk in the Surplus added to the exercise we had already gotten, so it was time to leave.
As we were getting back on Walker Road I suggested we eat at a restaurant that we had eaten at before. When we got out of the Car, the Sign in the door said they were Temporarily Closed due to Unforeseen Circumstances. Since we were far from our end of the City, we stopped at the nearby Wendy’s. The woman taking our order, still charged more than we normally pay near our home. People just kept filling the building for lunch and the use of the Air Conditioning.
Our next stop was to Guardian Storage to collect our Mail. As soon as the ladies saw me, they warned me against working on our Trailer in this Heat. We were also happy at how smooth the fresh Pavement that was done last week had turned out.
With the cost of Gasoline on the rise, we had no choice but to give the Car a drink, before heading for home. Kathy had her Keys ready before we were halfway there. Dropping her at the front entrance I was comfortable parking the Car in the Heat, because it felt cooler than I used to work in.
It was comfortable in the Apartment since the AC had been on since last night. After checking The Weather Network for the second time in the day, it showed the temperature slightly cooler, but the Humidex was again 115 F (46 C).
Wanting to replace the burnt-out Bulbs and to store the rest, it was quick and easy, or so I thought. When Kathy went to the Bathroom she complained that it was too bright, and she could see every smear and smug in the room. After she totally cleaned the room, she told me to change the Bulbs back.
Karen called while on her way home from work to see how our day had gone. I told her about the LED Bulbs, while Kathy complained about them.
We were watching the “6 o’clock Local News” while enjoying Salmon Fillets, sauteed Asparagus Spears and Potato Slices. We later enjoyed a scoop of Frozen Yogurt, while watching “History’s Most Shocking Events” on the History Channel.
During an advertisement, Kathy looked out the Balcony Door to see what she thought was Rain. When I looked down at the parking lot and saw it was dry I knew what it was, Smoke. I’m certain that is old news for many in the Southern States and Northern Provinces but the closest Wildfire to our area is Hundreds of Miles away.
With another appointment tomorrow, we’ll enjoy the start of cooler temperatures.

Krackers
After dinner, my mom asked if I could clear the table.
I needed a running start, but I made it.
