We
were both wondering what is happening with us sleeping in so much
lately. We think it could be our bodies telling us that since a great
part of the world is still on hold we should relax. For a while the
later we got to bed the earlier we woke up but now it’s anyone’s
guess. As long as we don’t have to set the Alarm
for any early appointments we’ll just take it as it comes.
As
you can guess by that first paragraph we weren’t up at the crack of
dawn this morning but we did get a chance to spend part of it talking
and reading at the Computers.
Once
our morning chores were finished it was time to figure out what we’d
be having for lunch and since I was already getting things ready for
Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwiches, Kathy started making our
dessert plates. Today we had Cherries, Maple Cookies
and Yogurt Cups topped off with Hot Apple Cider drinks.
We
had some errands to run and didn’t want to wait too late because
the Humidex was forecasted to
reach the Century Mark by mid afternoon. Before walking out
the door I turned the Air Conditioner back on for the first
time in Thirty-Six Hours.
After
receiving an On-Line notification from the Showcase
company our first stop was at the Tecumseh
Mall. Walking into a Mall the
first time in Five Months was an entirely different
experience. There was hardly anyone there and those we did saw all
Social Distanced as well as wore Masks.
The
ad from Showcase we were
responding to was for disposable Masks. I can survive with the
reusable Masks we have but they are too thick for Kathy to
properly breathe. They were selling a Box Of Fifty Masks which
normally sells for Fifty Dollars for only Twenty Dollars.
That works out to a Sixty Percent Savings.
Hardly anyone in the Mall. |
Since
there was hardly anyone around we walked through the Mall
as exercise. There were quite a few businesses that were totally
emptied out including Kathy’s favourite bookstore Cole’s
all because of the Coronavirus Shutdown.
Many were probably struggling before but the Shutdown
pushed them over the edge. Even a couple of the Food Outlets in
the closed off Food Court had
closed shop. We visited the Dollarama
outlet in the Mall which meant we
wouldn’t have tostand outside waiting to get into another outlet.
Our
next stop was Guardian Storage to
pick up our Mail.
The
temperature was starting to build so I dropped Kathy off at the door
of Zehr’s grocery store before
parking the Car. Bringing in our Insulated Shopping
Bags I was surprised to see Kathy pushing one of the small sized
Shopping Carts. Since there were only a few things on our
Shopping List she thought it would be fine. I had to get a
larger Cart so we could finish our shopping.
It
was close to 3:00 when we arrived back in our Apartment
and it felt good to walk into a cooler atmosphere. It didn’t take
long to get things put away so we relaxed at the Computers for
a short while.
Chinese Food from the freezer section along with our Favourite Carbonated Juice. |
For
supper Kathy made some Chinese Food from the freezer section
of the grocery store that we picked up today. The last time I wrote
about this someone asked what company name it was under. Today Kathy
mixed Sweet and Sour Chicken from a company that we had never
tried before with the Rice from a company we are familiar
with. The taste was just as good as we remember and the new Sweet
And Sour Pork came in a larger package for only a bit more then
the other had. I even forgot to look today but will check our Recycle
Bin tomorrow for the names.
We
watched a couple of Movies until the 11
o’clock Local News from London
came on. It seems since the Shutdown
our 6 o’clock Local News gets
preempted by Golf Tournaments on Weekends and Holiday.
I
have to shut the AC
off
before going to bed because we are starting to freeze in here. Not
sure what we’ll be doing tomorrow but we’ll let you know. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

You got a pretty good deal on those masks and a chance to walk around the mall in nice cold A/C.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile when I read that Kathy got the small basket and you had to go get the larger one usually it is the other way around :-)
Got a good chuckle with Krackers this evening.
Lucky you found masks. I haven't found any at all. It's sad that so many businesses are going under. I wish they would just let everyone stay open and require masks. At least some would be able to remain open and make a living.
ReplyDeleteWow that is an empty mall! Ours aren't open at all and in my opinion they weren't doing well to begin with can only imagine once they reopen. Our open air malls are open but we haven't been. Your lunch sandwich looks and sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI find the disposable masks easier to tolerate on the really hot days too. I found another pattern for a less claustrophobic mask that I'm going to try
