It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Finally Arrives.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After having a long day yesterday, I was feeling tired and went to bed leaving one of our chores unfinished. When you wake early to very Cloudy skies, you might chose to do what should have been done yesterday. When Kathy joined me, I was finishing the last of last evening’s supper Dishes.

After taking our Coffees over to the Computers, I started checking all the weather-related sites on my screen. The one thing that they all showed was an all-day Rain.

There were actually more RV Bloggers that had published overnight, some of which had not posted in months. It is understandable, because many do not understand how much work is involved to do so.

The Clouds became even more threatening around 6:00, to the point we needed to turn our interior Lights on. By 6:30 the threatening forecast started with Lightning and Thunder, before the Rain finally arrived. Like many have written, their areas are dry, due to the lack of Rain, so this is a blessing for our area.

Since our Local News is Pre-empted on weekends and holidays, we only had “Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Since our Local News is Pre-empted on weekends and holidays, we only had “Forensic Files” for our evening entertainment. Before closing down for the night, a last look outside showed a lighter Rain still falling.

We have to get busy tomorrow.

Doctor’s Call?

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Because I didn’t set the Alarm before going to bed last night, but the moment I saw it was just after 7:00 this morning, I started my day. Since I had gotten less than Six Hours of sleep, I could not take the chance of only sleeping for another Hour. Our bodies have a habit of making up for that lost sleep, by making us late starting our day.

Since I take morning showers to energize myself, I was all cleaned up and had a snack breakfast ready for Kathy to join me. We were soon out the door.

It’s strange that city of Windsor has managed to finish off a number of the Road Construction Projects already, only to start others this late in the summer. For readers from the Southern States this may sound odd, but our Winters are not good for our roads. The constant temperature changes between Above Freezing to Below Zero (-18 C) destroys them, more than the Century temperatures of the Summer.

Arriving early for my PT appointment at ARC (Advanced Rehabilitation Center), I was brought in early. Having a talk with the Physiotherapist, I mentioned that my shoulder’s mobility has improved but the tear in the Ligament continues to cause Reflective Pain in the Bicep. It’s like putting the Cart before the Horse. We’ll find out in September.

We stopped at Wendy’s to have Grilled Chicken Wraps for lunch, before heading straight back to the Apartment. The reason for that was, we were waiting for a Phone Call from the Doctor reviewing Kathy’s Medication. We had been told that he would call between 1:00 and 2:00, to discuss test results. When I called the Office just before 3:00, the recorded message said they were closed for the weekend. Since we have a number of appointments next week, we’ll be stopping at his Office.

It was past 6:00 when we enjoyed Veggie Wraps for supper with small dishes of Sorbet for dessert.

I do appreciate the information from the Comments about the use of Bactine and Polysporin, for use in helping Kathy’s wounds. They are presently healing nicely.

We later watched more episodes of “Forensic Files” along with the “11 o’clock Local News” We are definitely cooling down.

We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Whose Next?

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After getting up at a decent time this morning, we settled on having Cereal for breakfast.

There was nothing that we needed to rush out to do, so we took advantage of the time to get caught up on our E-reading, News, Communications and Blogs. I even checked my Facebook account that I haven’t seen in over Month.

Due to lack of activity, we enjoyed Split Pea with Ham Soup for lunch. It was just enough to satisfy our needs.

There were new Bandages and Bactine applied to Kathy’s Abrasions from her fall in the Exercise Room on Tuesday.

We had made Plans to go out for supper while supporting a good cause like we did at DQ. Today we were headed to A&W for their “Burgers to beat MS” (Multiple Sclerosis). For every Teen Burger sold, they contributed $2.00 to Multiple Sclerosis Research. Even though it is a global issue, Canada has the highest numbers per capita.

We got home just before our daughter Karen called to see how we are doing. She suggested using Polysporin on Kathy’s wounds but recognized the Bactine as old school.

We later watched a few episodes of “Forensic Files” before watching the “11 o’clock Local News”.

Years ago, when I was first given the Medication to fight the Vertigo, I was told to take them until the spinning stops, which I noted seems to be about Three Days. That was yesterday, so I didn’t take any, last night or this morning because I seem to be on the mend. After turning down the bed tonight, I was again hit by the room spinning uncontrollably. It looks like I’m back to taking those medication for Vertigo, until things get straightened around.

Words of Inspiration

It is only in pain that a woman is capable of rising above mediocrity. Her resistance to pain is infinite; one can use and abuse it without any fear that she will die, as long as some childish physical cowardice or some religious hope keeps her from the suicide that offers her a way out.”

Colette, French Author.
