Cleaning The Fridge.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I have no idea what is happening anymore. One or Two nights I sleep like a rock and the next I’m up and down most of the night. I kept going between my Recliner and Bed. Having just gone back to the Recliner around 4:00, I watched Kathy come out of the Bedroom, stare in my direction, before going back to bed herself. After finishing the night in Bed, we both made up for our lost sleep, by staying in Bed later.

We kept breakfast extra light, by having a Blueberry Parfait using Vanilla Yogurt as the base.

By the time we finished our Coffees at our Computers, it was already time to think about making lunch. We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza, which surprisingly would hold us over until supper.

When asked if she needed to soak her feet in the Epson Salts Foot Bath today, Kathy declined the offer. I on the other hand, really needed to do so.

We continued working on our Computers, most of the afternoon. When it came time to have supper, we enjoyed having Bacon/Veggie Wraps. We later had a small dish of Sorbet for a late dessert.

You might have noticed a Theme to today’s meals. They were all meant to use up what we already had on hand, so no food would go to waste. So instead of going to the grocery store today, we simply delayed that until tomorrow.

We managed to find Two Murder Mysteries to watch this evening.

Minutes ago, while kissing Kathy good night, I mentioned how she was checking me out last night. She said that she was probably sleepwalking and didn’t remember.

New Normal and Changes Happening.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

The new normal sleeping routine seems to have worked out for the last Two nights. It’s not much, but I’ll take every minute of sleep I can get. It beats Insomnia anytime.

I was up by 8:00 this morning but left Kathy sleeping in the Bedroom. She would later tell me, that she had trouble falling asleep, but when I finally moved from my Recliner to the Bed, she was sleeping. I believe, that it could have been the physical exertion of folding Laundry, that could have added to her Arthritic Pain, thus keeping her wake.

This was a strange day, because we were finally able to shut the Air Conditioner off, before going to bed last night. It was still cool inside the Apartment this morning, so I don’t believe that added to Kathy’s lack of sleep.

After we had breakfast, we were in no hurry to go anywhere, though I had figured that we’d be out later today.

I mentioned in yesterday’s Blog about Doctor’s Offices calling to remind us of appointments. I still had to confirm a couple this morning. With the Computerized Answering Systems that most Offices have today, it was simply a matter of pushing the proper numbers. As I was about to finish the second call today, another message caught my attention, they had a new location. I had call back in order to get a real person, to verify they had moved and to give me the new location. That was a move of Two Miles.

It was past 3:00 when we headed out the door. Today’s high was only 76 F (24.3 C) and with a light Northerly Breeze, it was very comfortable.

The first place we headed to was Guardian Storage to collect our Mail. I could see Melisa’s van next to the building that it was locked up. As we waited, she drove up on the Golf-Cart, that is used to monitor the yard. Seconds later I was being let in to get my Mail. Since we have dealt with Guardian Storage, their office has never been open on Weekends. Melisa informed me that enough customers have complained, that the only time they can do things (Paying Rental Fees) is on the weekend, so the Company has decided to try being open on Saturdays for the month of August. If it works out we might be getting our Mail on Saturdays instead.

The other day I was about to add Gasoline to the Car, but noticed the price had skyrocketed. On the way to the Storage Yard today, I noticed the price was again down. On the return, we stopped at the Pioneer gas station and topped off the Car. That should last us another month.

Knowing what food we had in our Fridge and Freezer, we were in no rush to go to the grocery store today. Instead we went to Dollarama, to pick up a number of food stocks that they have been Out-of-Stock for some time. The problem was not that they were Out-of-Stock, but the people putting them in other areas of the store.

That was enough shopping for the day, so we headed to Wendy’s to have supper. We are almost out of Coupons that help keep our costs down.

We needed to use our Folding Two Wheeled Shopping Cart to bring everything up to the Apartment. It was also nice to see our Pantry Shelves restocked.

Later we watched a couple episodes of “Monk” before the “11 o’clock Local News” came on. It appears that we can expect a beautiful sunny week to start the month of August.

Washed Up and Wondering Why.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After having my new customary start to my night in my Recliner, I was able to finish it off in Bed, I was feeling good. What I did find strange, was that I woke up early, without the help of the Alarm.

The overnight Rain we had continued well into the afternoon, which suited our Plans for the day. Once gain we settled for Cereal for a source of energy that we would call breakfast. Though we moved our Coffees near to our Computers, we were busy organizing what we needed to pull it off. After getting more Calls from a few Doctor’s Offices to confirm appointments, we modified our Plans.

We managed to get downstairs to the Second Floor Laundry Room minutes after noon. We weren’t the only ones thinking that this would make the perfect Laundry Day, so we had to wait until Washers became available. That would also mean that it was past 4:00 by the time we finished putting all the folded clothes away in the drawers.

Luckily, the temperature only reached 83 F (28.3 C) this afternoon, but working away folding clothes had us both sweating. We had a small dish of Sorbet, that helped cool us down and hold our appetites off for a few more hours.

What we hadn’t finished earlier, was to make up our Bed with the freshly washed linens. Once that was finally over, we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Spinach Pizza with added sliced Olives, for a late supper.

We were watching a couple episodes of “The Rookie”, when I used a Commercial break to turn down the Bed. That also includes closing the window Blinds, that also gives me a quick view of the parking lot, where our Car and Truck are parked. Since having the License Plates stolen from our Car and the Truck was broken into, resulting in stolen Tools, I do this often. What surprised me tonight was to have a bird’s eye view of a Police Car just idling, with no visible actions taking place. I returned a few times to see the Patrol Car still there, for nearly an Hour, before disappearing from sight.

We finished the night, by watching the “11 o’clock Local News”. We are looking at nice weather for the next week.
