It’s truly getting catchy. Kathy woke up before the alarm this morning and actually was out of bed before me. I told her that it would be easy and she was just amazed that she did it. We were out the door by 8:00 after having toast and some of our Coffees before leaving.
Our destination the North Walkerville Medical Center where Kathy had a 9:00 appointment to see a Plastic Surgeon who specializes in Hands. Yes Specializes in Hands. Our Family Doctor had called the condition Trigger Finger and had warned Kathy of what might be the outcome. Kathy had also done some research On-Line where it gave Two Methods of Treatment either an Injection or Surgery. If you had Two out of Three Symptoms you were a candidate for Surgery. Kathy had all Three and is now scheduled for Surgery to relieve the problem. Not that this guy is busy either his Receptionist said they only had 120 Consultations today compared to other days.
From there we ran some errands with the first being to our Climate Controlled Storage Unit at Guardian Storage where we added the Wall Hanging Artwork we purchased at the Compound of the Ricardo Breceda who was the artist that created all the Metal Art in the desert surrounding Borrego Springs California. We are keeping it for something special and having it the Trailer could be disastrous.
Being that it was before 10:00 it was no use checking our Mail. Instead we headed over to the Real Canadian Superstore to get Groceries we had listed on our Shopping List. Walking around the Produce section was cool but when we walked through the Dairy and Meat section Kathy was shaking from being so cold. She practically ran through the Frozen Food Section without stopping. It felt wonderful to go outside just to warm up a little.
One thing Kathy really enjoys is Ice Cream and since our Freezer isn’t big enough to keep that and other Foods in we indulge ourselves when we are out. So at 10:50 in the morning we stopped at McDonald’s to take advantage of their $1.00 Ice Cream Cones for the summer. It helped cool us down inside not out.

When we got Home the first thing we did was to put all our groceries away except One Thing. Kathy had picked up a Single Serving of Spare Ribs from the Deli Section that we shared for the rest of our lunch.

We then had On-Line Banking to do as well as corresponding with the Customer Service Department at Jayco. Still trying to get things straightened around. Then we got a call from Leisure Trailer telling us what is and isn’t covered under warranty.
We finally had the chance to get caught up on our morning reading around 3:00 this afternoon. Concerning questions in the Comment Section of our Blog. Last Year I only washed our Trailer and with everything else like helping our friend Kathie, our Cataract Surgeries and all the High Humidex Days I did not get the chance to wax it. That was a first. I have always waxed all our previous trailers and will continue doing it to this one in the future. The only spot on the Trailer that I did not apply Wax to was under the Front Overhang. Because the Trailer was so dry everything looked dull when I applied the Wax. It was at that point our friend Larry gave me the Coconut Oil to try. I applied it on top of the Wax where it evened out the thick and thin spots. It took the swirls left by the paste and made it very consistent. What I did notice was the spots where the Sun dried the Oil giving it a dusty appearance. A quick swipe of the Microfiber Clothe gave it a just buffed look. I’ll probably wash and Oil the trailer before we hit the road again and Wax it again next year.
For supper we grilled a Store Bought Thin Crust Pizza that was more then enough to satisfy the both of us.

After eating we had just started watching a movie when there was a knock on the door. It was Corey our former neighbour from Third Street. I had invited him to check out how our Trailer had turned out. His trailer is looking very dull and he wants to shine it up but so far nothing had worked. After looking how our Trailer turned out he’ll be trying it on his Travel-Trailer.

The movie was called “The Fault In Our Stars” starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort. If you’ve ever said to yourself “Why Me?” then this is one you have to watch. It’s about children and young adults that grow up with Cancer. It was a Romance that was both Funny, and Heartbreaking. The message it gives is of Hope and Kindness. We both gave it a Ten but when Kathy stopped crying she gave it a Hundred out of Ten.

It was warm today but the Furnace is coming back our way. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

  1. Wow, that is a LOT of appointments for a doctor in ONE day. Glad Kathy was able to see him early this morning.

    I too enjoy ice cream but after all the viral videos of crazy people licking ice cream and then putting them back...I do not plan only purchasing one anytime soon.

  5. Thank you for the detailed explanation of oil/was job. I can't believe that Kathy already has a date for surgery. That is truly amazing.

  6. Plastic surgeons choose to go through additional training and also perform cosmetic surgery, their surgical training is based on reconstructive, Plastic surgery Limassol Cyprus
