It
was only minutes after 7:00 when I opened the Blinds to the
Balcony this morning to be greeted by the Sun poking
through the Clouds. I immediately took its picture to later
show that it didn’t hide all day. The next thing I did was get
things ready for breakfast before sitting down at my Computer.
I managed to read all the early risers as well as the late posters
before Kathy started her day.
The only Sun I saw today. |
Again
while we ate we talked of things we needed to do and things we still
needed to bring back to the Apartment. This meant another List
was started that would be added to a few more times through the
morning.
Wet Pavement in the Parking Lot. |
By
the time we moved our Coffee/Tea over to the Computers
the view outside had changed. Looking down at the parking lot one
could see the dry pavement under the vehicles. With that in mind we
had yet another morning cup of refreshments before doing some inside
chores then our lunch.
Lunch
today was Vegetable Soup, with a Cheese Stick, and
Yogurt Cup as well as a Banana for dessert. Kathy made
certain we’d had enough to eat because we didn’t know how long
we’d be gone for.
Our
first stop was Canadian
Tire where I needed to look for Storage Bins
that were thin enough to fit under our Bed. Kathy herself
admitted we didn’t have as much Storage for our clothes here
as what we did in the Trailer. Finding Bins that were
designed exactly for that reason we will be able to store the
Off-Season Clothes there while keeping the Seasonal Clothes
in the Dressers.
Kathy
also found the Item that we searched for yesterday. It was a
Three Piece Bathroom Mat Set which it seems that all the other
outlets have stopped carrying. She also found some large sized Dish
Towels to replace the ones that are wearing out.
With
the Rain slowing down slightly we headed over to the Trailer
at Guardian Storage. Kathy stayed
in the Car while I retrieved more Tools from the
Basement. We then went to our Climate Controlled Storage
Unit. Luckily the Clothing Racks are on Wheels so
within a minute we were able to get to the Back Corner of the
Unit. There a box of Electronics from our last apartment,
our Bedcover Rack and our Two Wheeled Shopping Cart
were all recovered to bring to the apartment. A stop at the Office
was made to collect a single piece of Mail.
We
then headed to Motor City Community Credit
Union where I ordered new Cheques for our Joint
Chequing Account. The company that owns our Apartment Building
likes to have Postdated Cheques instead of having Automatic
Payment. The last time we ordered any Cheques was over
Eight Years ago.
Even
though we’d had a good lunch it seemed to have disappeared and we
were starting to get hungry at 3:00. We stopped at Taco
Bell to have an early supper. The Cashier explained
that it was cheaper for me to purchase a Box Meal then a Combo
for what I ordered and she was right. After Kathy enjoyed her Combo
I gave her the Cinnamon Twists for dessert and I have a
Burrito left for lunch tomorrow.
Same Picture Twice |
The
Rain seemed to have eased a bit as we were leaving and I
remembered something that we hadn’t put on our List this
morning. We drove back to Canadian Tire
where I found the Light Switch I needed. Kathy came across a
display that was selling potted Christmas Cactus that are
about to bloom. After having seen them last Winter in the
desert neat Quartzsite she
couldn’t resist and one found its way into our Cart.
See the wet reflection on the pavement. |
I
wanted to stop at Shoppers Drug Mart
but Kathy wanted to go to Giant Tiger
so I dropped her off before walking to Shoppers.
I found my Wrist Support then joined Kathy at Giant
Tiger. We found a few more things that came home with us.
Kathy
insisted she could walk from the parking lot and would help me bring
things up. I loaded our Two Wheel Shopping Cart for her to
carry all the Smaller Heavier Items while I
carried the Larger Lighter Things. When we got
between the Buildings the harsh Wind chilled us to the
bone.
We
decided to get a fresh start on our projects first thing in the
morning. We actually watched the 6
o’clock News
so we won’t have to stay up late. Our hot Showers
helped to warm us up. We may have plans for tomorrow but we all know
that when they are written in
Jell-O
they can get stirred up. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

You
know you are getting old when
the
gleam in your eye is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
We have not seen the sun here either but at least it is not cold or rainy. I thought of you all when I watched House Hunters International on HGTV...it featured a party guy from Canada who wanted and bought a home in Spain.
ReplyDeleteHow odd that an apartment building would prefer a post dated check to an automatic payment.
You guys put me to shame all I did was sit in front of the TV most of the day watching Impeachment Hearings.
I love love those Christmas cactus plants. They can sure cheer up a dreary day!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to take a photo of the cactus when it blooms.
ReplyDeleteThe weather flips like a coin this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a Christmas Cactus too. Will check out GT.
