Since
we were tied up on having restless sleeps last night we just went to
bed and both tossed around most of the night. We’d fall asleep but
every time we turned over we were awake for at least Ten Minutes.
It may not sound like or add up to much time awake but it is a proven
fact that your body and mind need uninterrupted sleep to be at its
peak performance.
When
we finally got up we muddled through breakfast while discussing what
we wanted to do today in other words we made Plans. We only
spent the time it took to have a single Coffee/Tea to read
things On-Line before getting ready to head out so that I
would be able to go exercise this afternoon. Looking outside with the
bright Sunshine was quite deceiving because with the Windchill
it was quite nippy.
We reached 21 F (- 6 C) today. |
We
drove to the old Red Cross
building on Grand Marais so we
could go to VitalAire. With the
Sinus Problems that Kathy is experiencing the CPAP Mask
that she uses is not always practical when she can’t breath through
her nose. She is presently scheduled for Surgery next August
to fix the problem but in the meantime needs an alternative. They
were able to loan her a Full Face Mask similar to the one that
I use but more to her size. Once we know that will work for her then
they will order her own Mask and bill it to our Insurance.
Our
next stop was to actually pick up a few groceries today so we headed
back to the Zehr’s grocery
store. It took some time and we got most of what was on our List.
It
was nearly 12:30 when we loaded our purchases in the Car but
we still had more shopping to do so we headed to Burger
King. Using a Coupon we were able to have a
satisfying meal at a reasonable price.
Our
next stop was Walmart
where we were able to find the rest of the things on our
List but since it was still early we decided to walk around.
That was when Kathy spotted a Bookshelf that was exactly what
we had looked for as a Television Stand rather then using the
Sideboard we were about to do. After getting
an Associate from the Furniture Section over we were
told the Floor Model they had was the only one in stock and
Not for Sale. But they gave me the
Skew Number.
There
were a few more things we stopped at Dollarama
to pick up for a craft that Kathy is working on before we
headed back to the Apartment.
After
bringing everything in Kathy busied herself putting them away while I
called the West-End Walmart.
Giving them the Skew Number I was told they would not have
that Bookshelf until the beginning of March. Since this is
Thursday I called the Amherstburg Walmart
where I found out that they had Two of those Bookshelves
in stock. One was sent to the Customer
Service Desk with our name on it.
Since
it was nearly 4:00 Kathy reheated the Leftovers from last
night’s supper that we didn’t have for lunch as our evening meal.
We
were soon on our way to the Amherstburg
Walmart and found the Bookshelf we were interested
in at the Customer Service Desk.
We also realized we’d forgotten to put a few things on the List
this morning so got those before leaving the store.
It
was still a bit early for our scheduled visit so we visited the
Amherstburg Dollarama to do more
walking. With each of these stores being privately owned just like
the Walmart we were finding
things that the other stores did not carry.
We
arrived at our son Kevin and daughter-in-law Melissa’s house just
after 6:00. As usual Melissa had set out snacks for everyone to enjoy
along with some nice hot Tea that helped take the chill out of
our bodies. We always have an enjoyable visit with them that includes
a lot of laughter and tonight was no different. It was past 8:00 when
we said our Good Nights and headed for Windsor.
Luckily
when we arrived at the Apartment
there was a Shopping
Cart
downstairs. Once
the Cart
was loaded Kathy
brought it upstairs while I parked the Car.
We watched the 11
o’clock Local News before
Kathy went to bed. Since my Plan
to
exercise today didn’t happen I’m hoping to get up early enough to
do it tomorrow. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Glad you finally found a suitable bookshelf. I'm curious what Kathy's project is but I assume its a gift for someone likely for your before
ReplyDeleteheading south Xmas...
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you both had a restless sleep last night hopefully as I type this you all will be in deep slumber.
ReplyDeleteThat is the beauty of living in a big city being able to drive to another store to find what you need. I would have to drive to Eagle Pass, Texas to visit the next closest Walmart and that is a 120-mile round trip.
Glad you had a nice visit with your son and daughter-in-law.
Sleeping is highly overrated. I don't seem to get much either. Nice you found the bookshelf you wanted.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when not specifically looking for that item you want is when it appears right in front of you!
ReplyDeleteI sure feel bad for people who can't sleep. Thankfully it has never been an issue for me - touch wood!
You two walk a lot in stores. Leonard was told by the doctor at University of Alabama at Birmingham that he now needs to walk every day. Since it is still really cold here (27 this morning) they suggested a Mall. No malls in the area so Walmart it is. We did that on Wednesday. Yesterday it POURED all day. Never left the house. Today we will walk again. Just have to remember.... we don't need anything. Keep the wallet in our pockets.
ReplyDeleteI hope Kathy gets her sinus fixed up. My E.N.T. specialist put me on a steroid spray which has really kicked my problems to the bucket! After a year I can finally breath clearly. I'll be having surgery down the road too but they can't do it with a lot of inflammation out of control.
ReplyDeleteAre we going to see your TV cabinet? We need a new one.
Glad your persistence paid off and you found your shelve. I hope the surgery goes well and Kathy will be able to breathe better. Full face mask should be a help.
