If you recall we needed to take Sleep Aids on the weekend so we wouldn’t just spend the night tossing and turning. It was only the One Time but since then we’ve been sleeping like a couple of rocks and even sleeping later. I didn’t wake up until nearly 8:30 this morning after sleeping for nearly Nine Hours. After surviving on Five Hours of sleep per night for over Thirty Years this is not hard getting used to.

I let Kathy sleep later but had things ready for breakfast. Even as a child she always needed more sleep then others. With this being her Birthday she was entitled.

When Kathy looked outside at the Water Puddles all over she was glad we got our bicycle ride in yesterday. She only had a few stiff muscles but otherwise felt good today.

When it came time for lunch Kathy was upset when I would not let her help while I cooked Perogies. She did sneak behind me to peal the Mandarin Oranges to add to the Cookies and Yogurt Cups we were having for dessert.

It’s been a few years and today Kathy had a special request for her Birthday. Since that meant going out we took stock of what else we might need before leaving.

Wearing our Rain Coats it was shortly after 1:00 when we left the Apartment. Our first stop was to our Accountant’s Office to drop off our Income Tax Returns. Even though our deadlines have all been extended the envelopes were only collecting dust on the desk so wanted to drop them off. As a way of Social Distancing they had a Bin set inside the door that your envelope would fall into when you place it through the Mail Slot. When the Returns are ready we’ll get a call.

Looping back we stopped at Guardian Storage to collect our Two Pieces of Mail.

From there we went to Motor City Community Credit Union to do some banking. Today I went in and experienced what Kathy had to a month ago. They only allow a few people inside at a time so you have to wait outside before getting into the Foyer where again you waited. Once inside it was a must that you Sanitize your Hands before filling out a Questionnaire of whether you had or were in contact with anyone who had the Coronavirus. From there you were able to stand in line where you waited to be called to One of the Two Tellers. When the previous customer was finished the Teller would spray and wipe down the counter before calling you forward. That had taken me Twenty Minutes to get to that point and my transaction took Two Minutes but at least this is keeping everyone Safe.

When we saw the long line outside Dollarama we figured we didn’t need anything that badly.

Next we went to Zehr’s grocery store. Kathy waited in the Car while I went for our supplies. Wearing my Mask and Gloves I was able to walk in and got everything on my List that will hopefully last us another Ten Days. As soon as I was in the Car Kathy handed me a Wipe that was used on my Gloves, Mask and Door Handle.

We headed over to Canadian Tire but could not go in the store. You had to go On-Line to order what you want then when you arrive at the store let them know you are there so they would deliver it to your Car. We passed figuring we are still good for another month.

Since it was Kathy’s Birthday and it has been nearly a Month since we ate out we headed over to Arby’s Drive Through where we ordered Two Greek Gyros that we took back to the Apartment to eat. They were delicious.

The One Thing that Kathy wanted for her Birthday this year was a Vanilla Cake. It has been that long since we’ve had Cake. Even though they would not write on it nor did they have the small Kit to do so in the Baking Aisle Kathy loved it.

We just sat down to watch the 6 o’clock Local News when our daughter Karen called. Kathy was waiting to talk with her but was surprised when I said good bye and hung up. She was even more surprised while watching the News that the phone again rang and I said I’d be back. I met our son-in-law Greg down in the Foyer where he handed me Kathy’s Gift. Kathy was even more surprised when I gave her the Dozen Long Stem Roses from Karen, Greg, Kylla and Tyler for her Birthday. They were beautiful and she loved them.

At 7:00 Kathy logged on to Face-Time with Karen, Greg, Kylla, Tyler, Kevin, Melissa, Matthew, Ken and Heather where they all sang Happy Birthday to her. Isn’t technology great? After the Grands headed back to their rooms to study (they are still doing school work) their parents along with Kathy and I made teams up for a special game of Family Feud. It was a lot of laughs and fun.

We’ve got things to do tomorrow so we aren’t planning on anything else. Tell you then. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

A famous general dies and his ashes are to be taken to Arlington National Cemetery. All airlines are booked with no other planes are available. Someone comes up with the idea of using a helicopter. It arrives at 5 AM. The newspaper report the incident with the headline, "The Whirly Bird Gets the Urn."
