After totalling 8 Hours between both my Recliner and Bed I woke feeling quite refreshed this morning. The Sun was really lighting things up, but the Frost on the windshields told us another story.

I didn’t wait for the clock to show it was getting late when I opened the Bedroom Blind. Within seconds Kathy was wide awake and coming out to join me. We settled for a Trail Mix Bar and Yogurt Cup for breakfast. After checking The Weather Network and a few other things on the Computer, we were out the door with things we needed to get done.

Our first stop was Guardian Storage to check if we had any new Mail that we might need for our Income Tax Returns. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the door was locked and there was nobody inside. With no vehicles parked nearby, we simply headed off.

Not knowing how long that we’d be tied up at the Tax Return Office, we stopped at Wendy’s to have lunch. Kathy was a little curious when I parked further back in the lot. My answer was that she would see after we had eaten. It was past 12:30 and the place was filled with customers eating and a line to order. We enjoyed Chicken Sandwiches with Chili Cheesy Nachos for lunch.

Heading back to the Car, Kathy was surprised that after getting our information package, it was only another Hundred Feet to the H.&R. Block Office. Since we didn’t have an appointment, we needed to wait until there was an opening. If we had been 15 Minutes earlier, we would have gone right in. Darn line ups!

While waiting, we headed to Canadian Tire to walk around. That was when Kathy suggested we look for a new Vacuum Cleaner. With so many choices it took time, and considering that we are no longer cleaning Deep Pile Carpeting, made the choice much easier.

We even had time to stop at Dollarama to get a few things we needed. I’ve mentioned that there is a Federal Election happening in Canada this month, we ran into a Candidate going around the store introducing himself to shoppers. We couldn’t shake him until we cashed out.

Back at the Tax Return Office, Lana got the required information from us, before introducing us to Kaween our Tax Return Agent. Kathy had gathered all our Papers according to what she remembered from years ago, but have things ever changed. In the end we are very satisfied that Revenue Canada will be adding to our coffers, unlike last year. He showed us that we get more return by my not working. With E-Filing, we should have our money in another Week and we don’t have to worry about this for another year.

It was nearly 5:00 when we left the Office and we didn’t feel like cooking so we walked back to Wendy’s. This time Kathy had Apple/Pecan Salad while I had a Hamburger.

Back at our building, we used our Folding Two Wheel Shopping Cart to haul the Vacuum up to the Apartment. The Wind was picking up but we stayed dry.

The 6 o’clock Local News talked about Tariffs, the Election and the Flurries we could see overnight.

Later we watched “Chicago Med”, “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” for entertainment.

It started Raining as we were closing the Blinds.

Again no Jinxing is allowed, but I really hope this new sleep routine keeps happening.

It was nearly 8:30 and the Sun was lighting up our Livingroom when I started getting things ready for breakfast. It was only Cereal with Breakfast Juice and Coffee at our Computers.

As promised yesterday, the Pain Clinic e-mailed the Questionnaire that they want me to fill in and bring to the appointment. With it being months away I think I’ll be cancelling. Part of the reason is because of the Questionnaire itself. When the Twenty-Two Pages were printed out I was better able to read it. Most of the questions that have nothing to do with my problem. Since we’ll be seeing our Family Doctor in early May we’ll talk about it then.

We enjoyed All-Beef Hot Dogs on Tortilla Wraps for lunch with a small dish of Pineapple for dessert.

Though I had mentioned going to have our Income Tax Returns done this week, it wasn’t until I mentioned doing it today, that Kathy started verifying all the necessary documents were here. She verified all Incomes and all Deductions, before putting everything in a labelled envelope. I let her know that it would be suppertime just on time for the 6 o’clock Local News was starting. We enjoyed Perogies with Sour Cream and Bacon for supper, before sharing some Cantaloupe for dessert.

The Weather Guesser on the News showed that we could expect some overnight Flurries, before it changes to Rain later tomorrow.

We later watched “Will Trent”, “The Rookies” and “Criminal Minds” for entertainment.

Since we didn’t get what I had hoped to today, we’ll try again in the morning.

Good Night, Bad News.

I don’t want to jinx this, but after only an Hour in my Recliner last night, I would spend nearly Seven Hours sleeping in Bed. That was a big improvement, and I can only hope it continues.

Looking outside, Clouds filled the sky, but the pavement was dry. It was nearly 9:00 when Kathy joined me for breakfast, which did consist of the last of the in-house Muffins as well as a couple of Yogurt Cups.

Last month, when we saw our Family Doctor, he had mentioned having a Specialist see me for my Neck Issues. We had just sat down at our Computers when I got a call. The soonest they can see me is June. If I’m still able to move by then, I’ll be there, but I really need to exercise before that.

We got carried away reading, so for lunch we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Three Meat Pizza.

There was plenty going on, some that we had seen On-Line. So, we verified it using the Televised News. We got caught up channel surfing but did in fact verify that Jay North (the original Dennis the Menace) had passed away.

We had another round of Bad News when the 6 o’clock Local News came on. Besides talking about our Federal Election, they talked about the impact that the Trade Tariffs are already having on our Local Economy. If that wasn’t bad enough, the Local Weather Guesser mentioned there had been Flurries in the area, through this afternoon and besides the Freezing Temperatures we’re about to get, we could see even more Flurries through this week. This is Spring isn’t it?

We were enjoying our shared Bacon/Veggie Omelette for supper, just before the next round of programs started. We watched the “Murdoch Mysteries”, then a special about “Prince George” and finally “Elsbeth”.

We have a few things that we’ll be taking care of tomorrow.

The roller coaster ride continues but last night it was on the positive side. Though I bounced between my Recliner and the Bed, I managed to get sleep each time.

I’ve heard people complain about switching back and forth between Daylight Savings Time and Standard Daylight Time. I have to agree but for an entirely different reason. After the house we owned was set on fire by Teenage Arsonists, we replaced our large display Digital Clocks we lost in 2004. That was when they sprung forward Three Weeks later and fell back was the last week of October automatically. Savings Time was later updated to what we have today. The problem is that our Digital Clocks are set to the old timing, so they have to be advanced manually, then later when they automatically spring forward Three Weeks later, they have to be pushed back to the correct Daylight Savings Time.

When I woke in my Recliner, the Livingroom Digital Clock read 5:00 in the morning, I figured it would be nice to finish the night in Bed. My bedside digital clock showed it was only 4:00 while even the Other Large Digital Clock showed 5:00, so I knew what had happened. I waited until Sunshine in my eyes woke me, before adjusting those Two Clocks to the proper time. Now I only have to wait until Fall to go through the same thing in reverse.

Knowing she had an appointment today, Kathy followed me into the Livingroom at 7:30 this morning. Not knowing what time she’d be having lunch, we enjoyed French Toast for breakfast.

Thinking this would be a great day for me to think of myself as well, so I packed a Gym Bag to go.

Our first stop was our daughter’s house in Tecumseh where Kathy and our daughter-in-law Melissa would join Karen on a Girls Day Out. They do this to check out Plants and Flowers along with small gift shops.

We also got to visit with Greg, Tyler and Jess, before the Girls hit the road.

My Plan was to start getting back into exercising, to hopefully help my Hip, Neck, Back and Shoulder healing. When I arrived at Planet Fitness, there wasn’t an available parking spot in their lot and looking across the street at the Mall that remains closed until noon on Sundays, it was already half full. Looking inside through the windows, I could not see an empty machine in the building, as a fact people were waiting to get inside.

I drove over to Burger King to have an early lunch, before heading for home.

In the Apartment, after cleaning up the morning Dishes, I chopped up a Cantaloupe that we’ll share for snacks and desserts. I also continued by cleaning, slicing and boiling a Celery Root.

I finally had to open the Balcony Door because the Apartment felt like an Oven. I hate not having control of our heat.

I manged to find a “Harry Potter” movie on so I listened to that while getting some Blog Reading done. I also managed to write a message to our friends Wayne in Sue in Washington State.

Kathy walked in just before 5:00 all excited over her day out and the fun she had with the Girls.

We enjoyed the Celery Root for supper, then shared some snacks that Kathy brought in from her adventure.

We watched a few episodes of “Criminal Minds” before watching a super-hero movie called “Shazam”. Cute and surprisingly a lot of action.

Hopefully going to Planet Fitness throughout the week won’t be such a problem.

After spending nearly Ninety Minutes in my Recliner last night, I would spend the next Six Hours sleeping in Bed, until 8:30.

When I started putting together our breakfast this morning, I realized that this is what I wrote we had eaten yesterday, where in fact we’d had Pancakes instead. I do this as a way of reminding ourselves what we ate and did, as most people call it a Diary, we still call it a Blog. I’ll correct it tomorrow.

After finishing our morning snack we headed to the Computers and made it a double cup of Coffee day. Once I’d finished my routine reading, I visited my Facebook account. I don’t post anything on it, just mainly see what others have written. Lately, I have gotten in the habit of looking at some Videos of Animal Rescues and Pop-Up Concerts. It’s almost becoming an addiction, but once the weather improves I have an escape plan and it doesn’t include Videos.

We had Split Pea with Ham Soup for lunch and appreciated the coolness coming in our Balcony Door. Though the Rain ended shortly after we ate, we just could not bring ourselves to leave the Apartment.

Back on track of not letting any food go to waste, I started chopping Vegetables early as a way of cleaning up the Fridge. A while back the smaller Tortilla Wraps were “On Sale” so we picked up a couple of packages to see if we preferred them to the larger Wraps we normally get. When we had supper tonight that was what we used. They were easier to hold but ended up being a little messier. We’ll try again, but I think we’ll get the larger ones from now on. By the way, our Bacon/Veggie Wraps were tasty.

With the Dishes all cleaned up, I cleaned up a Pineapple we purchased the other day. After that I made Banana Splits with Chocolate Frozen Yogurt, real Bananas, the last of the Strawberries, the fresh cut Pineapple, with Maraschino Cherries and Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce.

We finished the night off by watching a “Murder Mystery”. It wasn’t the Butler.

Tomorrow we’ll both be busy doing different things,

My sleeping habits are starting to sound like a broken record, so to say I sleep around in the Apartment would be an easy summary. It also affects the way Kathy sleeps, because she senses my absence in bed and falls into a restless napping instead.

Opening the Balcony Blinds was all that it took to wake Kathy this morning, I thought that we again settled for a Muffin and Yogurt Cup to start the day, but latter remembered us enjoying Pancakes for breakfast.

Besides reading the list of Blogs on our Sidebar this morning that had posted, I was keeping an eye on the clock. When it reached 11:30 I headed to the kitchen to start blanching Tomatoes for lunch. It was nearly an Hour later when we sat down to enjoy piping hot Homemade Cheddar/Tomato Soup.

Though the Clouds had slowly moved in but there was no Rain today, with Northwest Winds sending a gentle breeze, it helped drop the Company Controlled heat that had us both sweating.

No Pizza today, because I had already defrosted part of our supper. Due to a delay caused by a couple of Potatoes that were rotted inside, the 6 o’clock Local News had started before I served our meal. We enjoyed Sauteed Zucchini, Potato Slices and Salmon Fillets topped with a small dish of Strawberries for dessert.

We later watched a few episodes of “Monk” for the evening.

Hopefully, we'll both sleep tonight.
