I managed to get myself out of bed by 7:00 this morning so I could get a shower before breakfast. That along with a shave worked out perfectly for timing because as I opened the door Kathy was just coming out of the bedroom. The Electric Jackhammers down in the parking lot had once again woke her up by 7:30. The Contractor has been warned that there is a Noise Bylaw but either he or his crew are ignoring it.
It felt good holding her in my arms and wishing her a Happy Birthday. We kept breakfast lite but special with Juice, a Double Chocolate Muffin and a Coffee.
We did some reading before heading out the door by 9:30. There was plenty of traffic all the way to Clear Imaging Laboratories but it flowed easily. Since I was given instructions to arrive Fifteen Minutes early figuring there was paperwork we were there earlier. Kathy stayed in the Car reading. After getting registered I must have sat for at least a Minute before being called in. Even though the Doctor at the Walk-In Clinic had checked me for a Hernia that is what he wanted the Technician to check for. An Ultra Sound is able to see what the Mind’s Eye sometimes can’t. Results won’t be available until the middle of next week.
We were on our way right on time for my scheduled appointment so we planned to run some errands. The first was at Guardian Storage where the first thing we did was to put things into our Storage Unit that were taking space in the back of the Car. By doing so we were also able to reclaim our back seat. On the way out we stopped at the Office and retrieved our Mail.
Next we stopped at Motor City Community Credit Union to do a little banking so Kathy will have the money needed for when Mary from Healthy Heals comes for her next treatment.
Not wanting to dirty dishes at home we stopped at Wendy’s for an early lunch. Using a Coupon we both enjoyed a Dave’s Single Cheeseburger Meal along with a Small Chocolate Frosty.
Back
at our building we managed to snag the same parking spot we’d had
last night. Even though a lot of tenants had left for work there were
a large number of Contractor’s Vehicles taking up many of
the empty spaces.Another 12 Feet of parking.
We
were surprised when the noise from the Jackhammers suddenly
stopped around 1:00. Looking down from our Apartment
we noted that the paving debris had also been cleared away. It was so
quiet that Kathy had a quick Snap to make up for the early
hours she’s been having to get up.Reshaping the back lot.
Once
again we were out the door around 4:00. Noticing the
Contractors had been moving Safety Fences around we
were surprised to see the Entrance Driveway had already been
completed. It had been widened and a new Sidewalk poured. We
were even more surprised when we drove past it on the road to see
Vehicles already parked where the Visitors would be
parked.Signs of Spring.
We picked our Dear Friend Vera up at her Condo and headed off to have supper. She has been keeping herself closed away from being in public since the start of the Coronavirus Shutdowns because of her Compromised Immune System. She is battling Cancer.
We
went to one of our favourite places to eat the Michigan
Diner on Tecumseh Road.
One of the reasons we like it is because between 3:00 and 6:00
you can order off the Senior’s Menu. Not only are the prices
lower but the portions of the meals are the perfect size that we
seldom have Leftovers to take home. We
enjoyed talking while waiting for our meals as well as while we ate.
Vera treated us for our Birthdays.At least 6 Feet wider.
Instead of taking her straight back to her place we brought her to our building. Seeing the new Front Driveway and the Parking Lot that was half torn apart she understood why we didn’t want her coming over for the time being.
We only missed a couple minutes of the 6 o’clock Local News. They reported 29 Active Coronavirus Cases for the Windsor/Essex Region along with 2 more Coronavirus Deaths in Area Retirement Homes. They also spoke more about the upcoming Provincial Election.
The Weather Network showed we reached a high of 55 F (13 C) with clear sunny skies. The temperatures are becoming more seasonal but so are the Showers.
