We both slept better last night but I still managed to be up before 8:00. I had gotten things ready for breakfast, opened the Balcony Blinds and had just sat down to look at the Weather Radar when the phone went off. Of course I had forgotten to bring our cordless phone with me so by the time it was answered Kathy was awake. When the person said it was time to get our ducts cleaned I was so frustrated I could only hang up. When Kathy asked who it was I still couldn’t answer until I calmed down.

There’s a Law in Canada that if you tell Telemarketers to remove your number from their calling lists they can actually face hefty Fines by not doing so. When we lived in the other apartment before going Fulltime I was told by a Telemarketer for a Lawn Care Company that I was lying when he was told we lived in an apartment. After I submitted the complaint Two Weeks passed when I received a call from the President of the Company that he represented apologizing for the call and guarantying that I would not receive any further calls and we never did. Unfortunately that only lasts for Five Years.

Clouds filling the sky.

After having breakfast we only spent a little time on the Computer because the Radar and The Weather Network showed a humongous Winter Storm heading our way.

We had Italian Wedding Soup for an early lunch as well as a Shared Apple and Chocolate Covered Wafer. I convinced Kathy we didn’t need the Apple Sauce as a third dessert.

With this being Thursday our first stop was the small Shoppers Drug Mart not far from us. It seems that people are finally realizing that Vitamins can help to keep them healthy so some of the ones I was looking for were out of stock. I did the only thing I could and that was get what they had and go to another Shoppers Drug Mart nearby. The beauty of getting the Vitamins on Thursday is Seniors receive Twenty Percent Discount on all their purchases.

From there we headed for Guardian Storage. As we approached the yard a Semi was just pulling in the yard so I followed which allowed us to see the Trailer was still secure with no visual Problems. We then swung around to the Office where we collected our Mail.

One good thing about these Lock-Downs is that it has increased our Fuel Mileage to Two Months per Tank of gas. With this Storm heading our way we stopped at Pioneer gas station and topped up the Car at $.979 per Litre ($3.90 US Gallon).

Our next stop was Dollarama where we picked up what Food Stocks we could to keep our costs down.

Driving over to the Bulk Barn we picked up our snacks (Dates, Nuts and Raisins) at lower prices then the grocery store.

That Flag is Twenty Feet by Sixty Feet.

Finally we went next door to the Zehr’s grocery store where we searched for bargains. Being Thursday all the shelves were being filled so we managed to get everything on our list. Since we’ve been using up our stock today proved to be costly.

It was past 4:00 when we finished loading the Car and we knew we’d be tired after putting everything away so we went out for supper. It’s been over a month so we used the Drive-Thru at Burger King and got Two Original Chicken Sandwiches for $6.00. Since our area is still in Lock-Down we ate in the Car before continuing home. They were satisfying, tasty and raised our energy levels.

After Eight Stops it was 4:30 by the time we got everything in the Apartment. We stopped to watch the 6 o’clock Local News. Only 2 deaths and 60 New Coronavirus Cases today. It seems there are more delays happening with the Moderna Vaccines.

When their Weather Guesser said it was turning White outside I had to check. There had only been traces leftover from Flurries earlier in the week when we got back but Two Hours later everything was in fact White with about a Two Inch Accumulation on all the vehicles.

Prior to the Outbreak of the Coronavirus all our cabinets were organized but as time went on more groceries just got stuck where there was a spot available. I returned to the kitchen and took all the Canned Goods, Jars and Packages out. By the time I finished all the Soup, Vegetables, Condiments and Baking Supplies were together on their own pullouts.

The Wind has picked up and the Building Manager has been out plowing the Parking Lot a few times already.
