One Night Forward, One Week Backwards.

Even though I managed to get a good night’s sleep it wasn’t quite the way I had Planned. After only a Couple Hours sleeping in Bed, there was so much Pain in my Neck and Shoulders, I had no choice but to use my Recliner for a Few Hours, before finishing the night back in Bed. Instead of moving forward as far as my sleep routine, I seem to be slipping backwards.

I had barely gotten to my Computer to get the Weather Forecast when Kathy joined me. After telling her what I was reading, she surprised me by saying that she was feeling really hungry. While she did her morning chores, I cooked up breakfast. Not wanting to waddle around for the rest of the day, I used less Eggs, less Cheese and less Bacon to create an Omelette that we enjoy sharing for breakfast.

While I cleaned up, Kathy started adding the Ornaments on our Pencil Tree. After rotating it a number of times she started to panic because she could not locate the Star. She again looked through all the containers that we use to store them in unsuccessfully. I had just started emptying more shelves in our Storage Closet, when she turned to find the Star laying of the Desk. That discovery, helped to calm her down and to ease my headache.

Around 2:00 we shared our last Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza with extra Pineapple and Shredded Cheese for a late lunch.

It was after 4:00 when we headed out the door to get some supplies. The Car was nearly clean, except for the Ice-Covered windshield, that took Ten Minutes to scrape clean.

Our first stop was Dollarama, to pick up supplies we have run out of. Since they are now on Holiday Shopping Hours, we had plenty of time to be certain we had everything. Stocking up also meant $$$$. That was a new high for that store.

It was past 5:00 when we were headed for the Grocery Store, but with all the walking we had just done and the fact that it was supper time, we stopped at Wendy’s to solve that problem. As a continuing trend, we had barely sat down to enjoy our meal, when the place suddenly filled up.

By the time we were about to leave Kathy suggested waiting until tomorrow to stop for groceries. Thankfully, the breeze had calmed down, so Kathy was able to help me carry in our purchases. By the time everything was put away, you would have never known we had been shopping.

Kathy is upset that she hasn’t been shopping yet for me, but I told her that I have everything I need in her.

We later watched “The Santa Clause” with Tim Allen again tonight. Part Two is on tomorrow evening.

It is hard to believe that I actually stayed in Bed for 7:58 Minutes last night. I did get up once and struggled to regain my lost Blankets when I returned. As soon as Kathy taps my side of the Bed with her hands and realizes that I am not there at that moment, she gathers all the Blankets together to cuddle with. After my struggle is over and we are holding hands again, she goes into a deeper more relaxed sleep. It was nearly 8:30 when I looked at the clock and decided to start my day.

I had barely gotten the Cereal Bowls filled when Kathy came out to join me. It was on the chilly side since we are still not able to control our own Heat as we sat to enjoy the start of the day. Kathy kept telling me of all the fun she had with the Girls yesterday. Every time they go out, even if it’s not for shopping, she is like a schoolgirl would react. I can only smile and give her a Hug and a Kiss.

Thursday, Kathy accidentally knocked her Coffee Mug off her side table and broke the handle off. We have tons of smaller mugs but since these are Sixteen Ounce Mugs (Impossible to find) I simply gave her mine and took her old one. Little did I realize how sharp Ceramic can be, until I sliced my Index Finger where the handle had once been connected.

Wanting something different for lunch, we enjoyed Grilled Olives and Cheese Sandwiches with Chocolate Pudding Cups for dessert.

With my not getting our Prewired Pencil Christmas Tree erected yesterday, I immediately started after lunch. My eyes have been having trouble focusing and when it came to finding the little Connections I struggled to see them. Kathy insisted that I had to put all three sections together before it would work. If I could not see the connection of One, how was stacking the entire thing going to help. She wanted to start decorating it but her frustration was making it even harder for me to focus. When I finally found the connection, she said she had told me to do it that way. I wonder why they say the Holidays are the most stressful time of the year. Since we have had a Rotating Base for over Twenty Years, it makes it easier to decorate. She tired herself out, so we’ll finish it tomorrow.

While Kathy was decorating the Christmas Tree, I was busy slicing up a perfectly ripe Pineapple. That worked out perfectly because when we later shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza for supper, there was hardly any Pineapple on it. (Can’t see though the sealed Packaging), It tasted wonderful, with just enough Pineapple to suit our taste.

We later watched our first Christmas Special of the year, “She’s Checking It Twice”. It was cute and a change from Murder or News.

Kathy has already gone to Bed before I actually started writing the Blog. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

I mentioned in yesterday's Blog about finding the torn pillows on Two different CPAP Masks and replacing them with a new one last night. I slept well, only rolling over a few times, but even my ability to breathe was better. The problem that still remains is that when you try to sleep for even part of a night without using your CPAP Machine, it will take another week to recover from that. I found myself constantly yawning through the rest of the day.

Strangely, I had set the Alarm before going to Bed and that normally plays with my Subconscious the entire night, not last night. The first time I turned over to look at the Clock this morning was Two Minutes before the Alarm was set to wake us up, at 8:00. As soon as I sat on the side of the Bed, Kathy immediately sat up, knowing she had a date.

We only had Breakfast Juice along with our morning Medications before heading out the door. I'd told Kathy to stay inside the rear entrance to the building, but after Ten Minutes she came out to the Car. Later we would find out that last night broke the Coldest Temperature for this date, making it down to 3 F (-16 C). It took nearly Twenty Minutes to scrape the Heavy Hoar Frost off the windows.

Using a Coupon, we stopped at Wendy's where we both had Sausage/Egg Cheese Muffins with Home Fries and Coffees for breakfast. We didn't rush but we did not have time to people watch either.

We arrived with only minutes for Kathy's Girls Day Out with not only our daughter Karen, but our granddaughter Kylla and daughter-in-law Melissa. It was only a few minutes later, that they were headed for the town of Chatham, to do some Christmas Shopping. The reason for that is they have already seen what the local stores in Windsor, Tecumseh and Amherstburg have to offer, so they make an adventure of finding something different.

I had said that I would go to the Gym, but as I got closer, started thinking of an occasion only Twenty Days away. This gave me the chance to take my time, finding those Special Somethings to put a smile on Kathy’s face.

After nearly Three Hours, Four Stores, I was happy to have accomplished what I had set out to do. The reason it was so easy is because we normally buy something when we need it, so it keeps the number of Gifts down.

I was surprised that I was actually starting to feel hungry, so I returned to Wendy’s to use another Coupon for lunch. That was a Mistake. The Coupon was for a sandwich that is called a Baconater. If I was still a teenager, it would have been perfect, but this had me waddling back to the Car.

Back in our Apartment, I immediately set about wrapping the gifts. Once everything was finished, I was able to hide it all in plain sight, before moving on to another task.

Kathy normally has me put up our Christmas Tree by now, but with everything going on. I have not felt up to it. I was able to get everything out of the Storage Closet, before I started sweating. The Building Maintenance Man might have come in our Apartment while I was away, but until I speak to him, I really have no way to tell for certain. I had to put on a lighter shirt to cool down.

I’d barely started setting things up when our granddaughter Kylla called to say she was dropping Kathy at the front entrance. She also offered me help for another upcoming Medical Procedure.

As soon as Kathy walked in, she said it was too Hot, otherwise she was glowing with excitement of visiting with the Girls.

By the time we had Macaroni and Cheese for supper, we were both starting to feel cold in the Apartment. I’ll definitely be looking for John next week since he has the weekends off.

We watched a couple episodes of “Forensic Files” before calling it a night. I have some sleep to catch up on.

Why did the baby strawberry cry?

Because his mom was in a jam.
