I’ve mentioned before how quickly you wake up when Gasping for a breathe in the middle of the night when your CPAP Machine stops giving you air. Last night was Kathy’s turn to experience the feeling and she did not like it. At first she thought the power to the Apartment had gone out but when she saw that my Machine was still working she didn’t know what to do but she didn’t have to.
I sensed her movement and knew it was not normal so I got up. She explained her problem but her Machine would not start up. When I checked the Power Cord the Transformer was cold while most Transformers get warm to hot when working. It just happened that we had a Spare Transformer and as soon as it was plugged in her Machine started right up.
I stayed in bed longer then normal but was ready to head out the door for my Job Interview by 9:00. Knowing that a broken sleep takes more time to recover when I left Kathy was still in bed.
I arrived at the location in LaSalle to find the gate closed and nobody in sight. As instructed I called Adam. Since I shut my phone off at night I apparently missed his call saying that due to the forecasted Rain they wouldn’t be working today. When I told him I was already there he said he’d come out in Twenty Minutes.
Forty Minutes later Adam showed up and we entered the property where he showed me the type of work that is being done. Because a Plasma Cutter is used to cut the metal skin off it produces lots of Smoke so the work is done outside. Since there is normally a breeze coming off the river all the welding is done with the Stick Welder. The problem is during the Summer there is no shade to keep you cool and in the Winter you are exposed to the blowing Snow. Another issue is that this is a Mobile Service which could have me travelling all over the Province. He needs an answer by Monday.
Kathy had been busy when I walked into the Apartment. After a quick look at the Computer for the Weather and Messages we got busy making lunch. It was my choice since I miss it during the week. We had Italian Wedding Soup with Maple Cookies and a Yogurt Cup for dessert.
With forecasted storms for later we were out the door before 1:00. Taking the Car the first place we went was the Pioneer gas station to fill it with Gas so if Kathy needs to go anywhere the tank will be full. From the time I was returning from the Interview this morning until then the prices had dropped by Five Cents per Litre.
We did our usual stops at Dollarama, Bulk Barn and the Zehr’s grocery store to get everything we needed on our Shopping List.
By the time everything was put away in the Apartment we only had a few minutes to sit before the News came on.
On the 6 o’clock Local News tonight we heard there were 8 New Coronavirus Cases in the Windsor/Essex Region leaving the area with only 56 Active Cases to continue monitoring.
The high temperature felt like 102 F (39 C) today with the next Seven Days forecasted to have Rain.
It was at that point that I
realized today’s Job
was not all it is cracked up to be. The Crew
were told to stay home because there is no Cover
to protect them from the Rain
and if you don’t work you don’t get paid. Might not be the
perfect Job.
As of this time it did not Rain
at all today.
For supper we had open faced Beef Sandwiches with Gravy from the Leftover Roast.
We watched a “Murder Mystery” this evening. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

It’s about time.
