It's about time.

Former Co-Worker.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

This is really starting to sound like a rerun, when I finally start sleeping in Bed like most normal humans do, then suddenly find myself struggling to sleep. The worst part was that I was struggling to keep my eyes open, long enough to publish last night’s Blog. After not using any kind of Sleep-Aide for over a Week, by 3:30 in the morning I had no choice. Of course, when there is an action, there is also a reaction. Even though I managed to assemble a breakfast snack to start our day, I appeared to be looking through closed eye lids.

Fortunately, looking at the time, had us both scrambling to get up and get out. We had a follow up appointment to take the place of the one on Monday that Sid cancelled. We were on time, but he was still tied up with other clients. Nick a former Co-worker from my days back in the Casting Plant noticed us sitting there and came over to say Hello. He mentioned others that were also dealing with Joint Replacements. Sounded like common problem for those of us that had been exposed to Hot and Cold Temperatures within minutes of the other.

When Sid did call us in, he still had to print out all the paperwork. By the time he finished explaining what everything was about and their legal meaning, then having Kathy sign, she was getting Writers Cramp.

Knowing that our Government Cheques were in today, we stopped at the Credit Union. Kathy did not feel like standing in line waiting, so she stayed in the Car while I took care of business. Imagine my surprise when I walked in, straight to the Teller and was out in Three Minutes. Even Kathy could not believe I was done.

Instead of driving back and forth, we stopped at Arby’s to have something different for lunch. I have learned to watch the advertised bargains the different Fast Food Outlets have as a means of keeping our costs down. We also included some People Watching to our stop as a way of resting. When the lunchtime rush started filling the place in, we knew it was time to leave.

Next we stopped at the Bank to spread our eggs between the baskets. After finding out why our Chequing Account kept depleting so quickly, I took Mark, our Financial Advisor’s advice to fix it.

Kathy just wanted to go home, so while I was trying to see if other things could work as well as the Bank, it did not. Kathy and I had spoke about this before, so when I told the agent on the phone to Cancel and Close the account, she believed that I could not speak on Kathy’s behalf. Imagine her surprise when Kathy also said to Cancel it.

Kathy had also been busy, going through the File Cabinet and building a pile of outdated files on the table. I spent nearly an Hour keeping our Cross-Shredder very busy. Kathy has more files to go through, but the drawers are already closing easier.

I was in the process of cooking supper, when our daughter Karen called to see how we were doing. We were enjoying our Penne with Tomato/Meat Sauce when the “6 o’clock Local News” came on. It looks like we’ll enjoy the Weather over the weekend but dislike the start of September.

We watched another episode of “UFOs” on the History Channel. Kathy is doing some E-reading next to me as I write this Blog. I am hoping to go to sleep at the same time that she does.

Looks like we’ll be doing some grocery shopping tomorrow.
