As
mentioned last night I set the Alarm to get to the grocery
store for the Seniors Only Shopping. Once I arrived at Zehr’s
at 6:40 this morning I immediately put my Mask on before
leaving the Car. By the time I got in the line of people
waiting to go in my Gloves were on. I was the Ninth Person
waiting to go in. Luckily with the Freezing Temperatures there
was no breeze which help make things more bearable. By 7:00 when the
doors opened the line extended around the corner.
Strangely
most of the shelves that had been empty last weekend were filled and
the ones that had been filled were thin. Since our Shopping List
was not as extensive as it was last week in less then Fifteen
Minutes I was waiting to be checked out. Even with only Two
Cashiers on duty I was heading back to the Apartment
by 7:25.
I
was fortunate enough to quietly get everything put away in the
Fridge, Freezer and Cupboard without waking
Kathy so I pushed it further. The saying is “If you want to get
something done give it to the busy person to do”. Being on a roll I
got things ready for breakfast turned on our Computers then I
started sorting our Laundry. Kathy didn’t hear me putting
Canned Goods away in the Cupboard or taking the Hamper
out of the bedroom but she heard me sorting Laundry. ????
Breakfast
was a Bran Muffin and our Coffee/Tea that we took to
the Computers. Looking outside the Balcony Door the
forecasted Flurries were slowly increasing. I checked The
Weather Network, the Local News, E-mails and
then the Blog. Since I don’t leave our Laundry
unattended I opened all the Blogs that we follow on my
Computer before shutting the lid. I then pretreated some of
the Clothes before getting ready to go to the Laundry
Room.
With
everything in the Washers I then opened my Computer and
started reading all those Blogs I had opened. Stopping only
long enough to move things into the Dryers I managed to
read all those Blogs before it was time to fold our clothes.
Since there was no WiFi in the Laundry
Room I could not leave Comments as I try to do.
It
was 1:00 by the time I got back to the Apartment
where Kathy was getting ready to eat. She made Grilled Ham with
a side of Herb Seasoned Egg Noodles for lunch with Oranges,
Cookies and an Apple Sauce Cup for dessert. It all
tasted wonderful and helped stop our Blood Sugar from dropping
any further.
It
was close to 2:00 by the time we had the Laundry put away but
I was on a roll. Kathy was going to stay home but I encouraged her to
come for a ride.
With
lots of businesses presently closed due to the Coronavirus
only those that are deemed essential are allowed to remain open. We
drove out to Windsor Laser where
I had worked last summer building Aluminium Dump Boxes for 1/2
Ton Pickups. Kathy stayed in the car and had a Snap while
I went inside to talk to the Owner. We spoke for a while in
his office and he definitely wants me back but the Customer
has put the order on hold. There is another job coming up that he’ll
need additional welding done so he’ll be calling me for that. The
beauty of this job is the closest you are to another person is Eight
Feet when doing the install but otherwise you are Twenty Feet
or more away from the nearest person. All that happened in less then
Ten Minutes.
We
were soon headed back in the direction of home but we had a stop
planned. We stopped at the Dollarama close to the grocery
store. There had been a couple of things that I didn’t find at
Zehr’s this morning. Even the
Stock-Boy couldn’t find it. There were a lot of people in
this store but we took our time and found the last Two Items that
the grocery store didn’t carry and at a cheaper price to boot.
Back
at the Apartment I dropped Kathy
at the front entrance before going to park the Car. In the
short time it took for me to gather our purchases and walk into the
building my pants had turned White. With the temperature
reaching 37 F (3 C) it was all melted before we had
supper.
Kathy
couldn’t decide what to have so she made both Macaroni and
Cheese along with Perogies for supper. We also had a Date
Square and Yogurt Cup for dessert.
Wet but not white. |
On
the 6 o’clock Local News there
were a couple more Coronavirus
deaths in local Nursing Homes in
the Windsor/Essex area. When the
News was over we watched more
Scientist and Doctors talking about the Virus.
Think
we’ll both sleep well tonight and hopefully we accomplish
something tomorrow. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

A:
Try
a bookstore under fiction.
I was reading your last post about the vitamins. As soon as there is an article about anything that may help. It is gone from the shelves. I keep wondering why there are never any cleaning supplies. Take care and stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good husband! After I finished reading this post I was feeling as though I had been the one doing all the work you did today.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being called back to work in the not to distant future.
Loved the Krackers joke :D
Your weather was sure different than ours. We had mostly blue sky and sunshine which helped it reach around 8C. We all just want and need it to warm up and stay!! Stay well you two.
ReplyDeleteYou sure had a busy day. No snow for us East of Algonquin.
ReplyDeleteGrocery stores are the same here. They usually have different trucks delivering different items during the week. I admit I've picked up some things I didn't really need, only because I knew they would be gone by the time I wanted them. Nice you know you have your job back. That's a relief I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteBusy day! Well done my son.
ReplyDeleteGreat you can go back to work (if you want to)...I don't know the way he let you go wasn't nice. Gotta do what you gotta do though.
