For
whatever the reason last night I managed to get an Hour of
sleep before waking. Finally after Three Hours of laying in
bed and starting to feel the aches in my back build I got up. After
downing an Extra Strength Tylenol I sat at my Computer
reading a few of the Blogs that I had missed reading earlier.
Within a Half Hour my eyes were feeling weighted and I headed
back to bed where I stayed until waking just after 8:00 this morning.
Once
we finished our Coffee/Tea at the Computers we found a
few more things that needed to be mounted on the walls. By having
them spread around the apartment it gives it a more relaxed feeling.
Lunch
was slightly different today with Kathy making Grilled Cheese
Sandwiches to go with the Lipton Cup-Of-Soup. It had been
ages since I had one of those and was quite surprised that most of
the Salt had been left out of the mix.
Needing
a bit of a break from the projects I decided to do Data Entries
on our Expenditure Spreadsheet while Kathy cleaned the Dishes.
She said the warm water helped the Arthritis in her hands.
After
a couple hours my eyes were starting to cross not from being tired
but because of the Tiny Print a lot of places are putting on
their receipts.
We
needed a few supplies so with our List in hand we headed out
the door shortly after 2:30. With the Northeast Wind
funnelling the Temperatures from the Detroit
River between the buildings we were happy to be in the
Car.
Our
first stop was Guardian Storage
where we found half our Mailbox full. We then travelled back
to our Climate Controlled Storage Unit. After moving the
Clothing Racks we were able to take only the Food Stocks
we were running low on in the apartment. No need to haul it all to
the apartment at this time because it would only get in the way. We
then drove over to our Trailer where the Charge Controller
Monitor showed that our Batteries were fully charged by
our Solar Panels. We partially opened the One Slide so
we could gather more Files, Books and DVDs to
bring back to the apartment.
It
was past 4:30 when we left the Trailer. We had managed to
scratch quite a number of things off our List but there was still
more to do.
We
went to Home Depot to look at
Area Rugs. Last evening Kathy had been On-Line looking
for Rugs to replace the Oversized One that was too big
and found their prices to be the most reasonable. There were a lot of
choices but we finally found One that will suit our needs.
We
stopped at Taco Bell where we had
just enough to satisfy our appetites without making us feel stuffed.
We
then drove to the Bulk Barn where
we managed to stock up on Raisins and Nuts at a more
reasonable price then the Grocery Stores.
Unfortunately
we still had to stop at Zehr’s
for some Margarine and Paper Towels.
We
finally went to Walmart where we
found the last few things on our List. At the Checkout
there was a family who planned to purchase some Beer along
with their groceries. Because the line they were in was not
designated an Alcohol Line the Clerk refused to process
them. Every Checkout with the Alcohol designation was
closed but the Clerk still refused. Think management has to
rethink their policy.
I
dropped Kathy at the Front Entrance to our building and went
to park the Car. Checking the Rear Entrance there were
no Shopping Carts around. It took three trips before
everything was upstairs. A hot Coffee helped get the chill
out.
Tomorrow
we’ll see if we can accomplish anything while we wait for the Cable
Guy
to get us hooked up. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

The
yard lighting for your family reunion came from a police helicopter.
I'm with Kathy washing dishes by hand. Sure sooths these arthritic fingers.
ReplyDeleteOK, I am confused once more. I thought your trailer was in covered storage to protect it from the elements so how are the solar panels being charged?
ReplyDeleteGosh, I'm tired just reading what you did all day long. And you still have a list!! Those clouds over Home Depot look pretty ominous.
