No Alarm was set last night, so it seems to have made some difference in my sleep. After a brief snooze in my Recliner, I was able to finish tthe night off in Bed. It seems that my body is objecting to everything it was forced to do in the past by prodding me, when I should be sleeping.

Not wanting to get into a major production for breakfast, we kept it simple with a Yogurt Cup and a few Chocolate Chip Cookies.

We barely had the chance to check things on the Computers, but I was able to fill in my questionnaire and picture the Q-Pass on my phone.

Minutes later, we were headed for the Canadian Blood Services at the Roundhouse Center on Howard Avenue. Unlike my last visit, the Q-Pass worked like a charm. I think a Finger Smear on the Camera Lens had been the cause. Getting back into the routine means that you start to recognize other regular Plasma Donors. Since I arrived early today, I was processed and finished that much faster. The differences between donating Plasma and Whole Blood are, you can donate once a week compared to Eight Weeks for Whole Blood. The entire process takes approximately Ninety Minutes compared to Thirty Minutes for Whole Blood. I walked out today after making my 155th Donation.

Since we had another appointment in the area this afternoon, we headed across the road to the Food Court over at the Devonshire Mall. The last time we were here we enjoyed a Smoothie from one vendor and Orange Chicken from another so much, we repeated it for lunch today. That meant we got to have our Lupper (Lunch and Supper) in an Air Conditioned environment and People Watching. You wouldn't believe half the stuff people do when they think nobody is watching. We didn't bring any Leftovers home, but we didn't need any Supper either.

After walking around a few stores, Kathy suggested the central Walmart, since we were nearby. Since this year's Road Construction, roads that have existed for over a century have been changed. Before the Construction it would have taken Ten Minutes, but today it took Thirty Minutes. As the old saying goes, "If it's not broke, don't fix it. ". It seems this rule has gone out the window.

At Walmart, Kathy looked for some clothes but didn't find any. I wasn't looking and walked out with Two Pair of Pants.

Though we arrived at Fantastic Sam's early, we had to wait for Julia to arrive. Kathy decided that sitting in a hot car in 81 F (27 C) temperatures was not practical, so we waited inside the Air Conditioned Hairshop. When Julia arrived, it didn't take long to have us looking Human again.

Headed for home we were jammed tight in a Traffic Squeeze when suddenly an Ambulance was trying to get through, but we couldn't move. A quick-thinking Contractor, moved a few Construction Barrels and allowed the Ambulance to get through, driving on the freshly laid Asphalt.

By the time we got home, I could barely keep my eyes open. Before I knew it the Clock was no longer showing the same time as when I had last seen.

We watched the "11 o'clock Local News" before Kathy went to Bed. I've been cleaning the bbbs and eees off the Document that I made for the Blog.

I thought about going on an all-almond diet, but that’s just nuts.

It All Adds Up.

I'm positive that I Jinxed myself last night. After having only a few good nights of sleep in a row, I had to set the Alarm for a morning appointment. I didn't think of it, or wonder what time it was, I simply tossed and turned while feeling every Ache and Pain in my body. Last night I went back and forth between my Recliner and Bed a few times but still woke before the Alarm went off.

Due to my lack of sleep last night, I just could not think of what we should have for breakfast. So the only thing we had for a morning snack, was a Yogurt Cup and Breakfast Juice so we could take our morning Medication/Vitamins.

It was 59 F (15 C), with a Northeast Breeze when we stepped out the rear entrance to our building. Kathy was lucky to have worn her Jacket, but the moment she stepped into the parking lot in full Sunshine, she needed to take it off. It would later reach 81 F (27 C) for the daytime high.

Having Coupons in the Car, our first stop was Wendy's, where we enjoyed what was listed on the Coupon itelf. That meant I didn't have to think of how to make it.

After finishing our Coffees, we were about to head off, when we both realized that we had Stuffy Sinuses. A quick stop at Dollarama, netted us each a Zicks Inhailer and some Cough Drops to keep us going.

Due to a Multi-Vehicle Accident in the middle of a Construction Detour, we were only at the Windsor Pain Clinic Ten Minutes ahead of my appointed time. Since they were running Forty Minutes late, it didn't matter. Kathy stayed in the Waiting Room and had the chance to socialize with other patients, while I spoke with Nurse Practitioner. After having my Vitals checked, a Nurse Practitioner in training, started reviewing how I am doing, the Pain Levels, what time of the day is worse, Then the Nurse Practitioner that I saw the last time came in to reiew everything all over again. Due to my having Sleep Apnea, I barely sleep on my back. With the Right Shoulder Injury, sleeping on my Left side is starting to affect that shoulder as well.

They will get X-Rays and Scans scheduled, so they can better know what kind of Treatments will work the best. The Medication that they prescribed on my last visit, is not a Pain Medication, but simply desensitizes the Nerves. They doubled the dosage today.

I'm surprised that in today's Internet, all the Doctors that we see, use a FAX Machine when they send Prescriptions to the patient's Pharmacy of choice. We had to wait Fifteen Minutes at Health First Pharmacy, to get my Medication. Another surprise was they said it was for Thirty Days, but times the dosage, it was Eight Short. They may be good at health but are bad at Math.

It was nearly 1:00 when we stopped at Mary Browns to have lunch. Eating out is not good for the waistline, so we ordered Mini Maries, which is half the size of their regular sandwiches but still satisfying.

We finally made it home by 2:00. We finally had the chance to do our E-reading. I found an E-mail that came in Two Days ago, that needed immediate attention. We even had to refer to our Appointment Book to reply.

It was past 7:00 when we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Spinach Pizza with Green Olive Slices, to give it a Sweet and Salty taste.

We later watched a "Murder Mystery" and "High Potential" before watching the "11 o'clock Local News". It looks like Fall Weather is only days away from our area.
