Even though we had nothing planned for this morning both of us had problems sleeping last night. Kathy was periodically waking while I would just barely close my eyes before completely waking up. Almost like a Pretravel Night.

It was minutes after 8:00 DST when I just gave up trying to sleep before heading to the other room. With the sky filled with Clouds it was difficult for the Sun to brighten our day.

I filled in a couple of Job Applications before opening the Bedroom Blinds along with starting breakfast. The added brightness and aroma was enough to have Kathy joining me. She like many others I sure of are having a difficult time of adjusting to Daylight Savings Time. Then just as everyone gets used to it we’ll get switched back to Standard Time. Why can’t they just leave well enough alone. We spent the rest of the morning doing chores and getting caught up on our Blog reading.

For lunch we had Chicken and Rice Soup along with Grapes, Cookies and Yogurt Cups for dessert.

I only sat at the Computer long enough to finish my Coffee before trying to get more involved in my workouts. My stomach just hasn’t been feeling right lately so I’ve had to tone down the intensity somewhat. When I was finished I headed straight to the Shower.

I had convinced Kathy to come for the ride even if she just sat reading her book in the Car. Staring at the same walls out of fear of getting sick is not a good thing.

We arrived at the Canadian Blood Services building with Ten Minutes to spare. Luckily Kathy had worn her Hoodie as well as her Fall Jacket because the outside temperature was cold. Going inside the Precautionary Screening Desk had been relocated further from the door allowing for more people to wait inside but there was nobody in front of me.

Just after I registered and was set to make my 128th Blood Donation their Computers went down. People coming in after me had to be processed Old School. Presently they are not excepting Walk-In Donations as a way of keeping everyone safe so things still ran like clock work.

I was sitting in the Car having my snack with Kathy only Five Minutes after my appointment time.

When we got back in the Apartment and I finished reading this mornings Blogs I had a strange thought so I used Google to get the Answer. The average person contains 1.2 to 1.5 Gallons of Blood so that means after making 128 Donations I have donated Twelve Times my Blood Volume or Sixteen Gallons. Each time I donate not only am I helping to save lives but it helps my body to refresh itself.

On the 6 o’clock Local News they reported an Eighty Year Old Woman in the Windsor/Essex region as the latest victim of the Coronavirus bringing the local total to 398. We also had 8 New Cases. Our temperature only reached a high of 34 F (1 C) this afternoon and we can expect Flurries through the night.

We had a Store Bought Medium Thin Crust Vegetarian Pizza for supper. After cleaning up the kitchen and Dishes we later watched an episode of “Criminal Minds”.

Words of Inspiration

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
