More Than One Change Of Plans.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Bit by bit I am slowly starting to sleep where I should every night. Even with a single trip through the night, I still managed to spend just over Eight Hours in Bed. Two nights in a row with Zero Recliner Time.

It was the Sun peeking around the Blinds that woke me up. After getting things partially ready to make breakfast, I let Kathy catch up on her lost sleep, while I got caught up on Blog reading. When I noted that the 7 F (-14 C) was feeling like -11 F (-26 C) at 8:15, I appreciated not having to rush outside.

As soon as I heard movement coming from the Bedroom, I had Three Burners warming up the stove. In no time the Bacon was cooking, the Veggie Stir Fry was warming and the Scrambled Eggs were cooking nicely. Since I have been making our Bacon/Veggie Omeletes slightly smaller, we can now walk away from the table and still be satisfied until supper.

We settled for a Rice Crispy Square for a late afternoon snack, but it wasn't until after 6:00 that we headed out for supper. It was a crisp 18 F (-8 C) when we left the Northwest Wind would cool it down further before we got home.

We had Planned on going to Taco Bell, but as we got closer and saw the Drive Thru Line stretched to the road and only a few cars at Arby's, guess where we went. Just like what has been happening the last few weeks, as soon as we sat down with our orders, the place started to fill up.

This also gave us a chance to talk about our Plans, so as we were leaving and spotted the nearby Dollarama still open, that's where we headed next. Plan A went out the window and Plan B went into action. We were being watched closely by not only the Store Employees but other Customers, as we were counting on our fingers to be certain we got the numbers right.

On our way home Kathy mentioned how much she was enjoying looking at people's Christmas Decorations. The Car suddenly turned the corner and we spent the next Half Hour checking the neighbourhood behind our building. We noticed that some of the homes that had gone all out for Halloween, had nothing out for this more joyous occasion.

The only thing we put away tonight was a loaf of Bread. The rest needs to be wrapped up.

After being told that she had to wake up by 8:00 tomorrow, Kathy has already gone to Bed. Since I have a Procedure tomorrow morning, that's where I'll be going as soon as this is published. Hoping I can see the Keyboard tomorrow.

Still Adjusting

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After making adjustments to my New CPAO Mask and Extra Padding yesterday, it was put to the test last night. Unfortunately, the adjustment only lasted half the night but Luckily, my Older Mask was on my Side Table just like the night before and I used it. I finished my night in Bed with no further issues.

Being up before Kathy, I had the chance to check the outside temperature and was really surprised to find it the same as Yesterday's high 30 F (-1 C). I also noted that the forecast showed the temperature getting lower as the day wore on.

We kept breakfast simple by hving a Breakfast Snack Bar and Yogurt Cup before heading to the Computers. Looking out the Balcony Door the only thing we could see was a Cloud filled sky and the Birds flying up and down to a neighbours feeder. There were quite a few new Blog Publishings to read today.

We enjoyed Grilled Cheese with Olive Sandwiches for lunch.

Trying to work on a few Documents this afternoon, I was getting strung out when my Laptop kept rebooting or shutting down. That is something it has done in the past when the Computer wants to do an update before I turn it off that night. I'll let you know if that does happen.

After readjusting the New CPAP Mask with the Extra Padding, it was time to share a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza for supper.

We wached a couple Hallmark Christmas Movies for entertainment.

A quick check of The Weather Network shows the temperature could feel like -11 F (-24 C) by early morning. Good thing, we are supposed to warm up in a few days.

With my Procedure scheduled for Monday, we'll be running some last minute errands tomorrow.

Improvement, Connected and Running Around.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Though I may have rolled over a few times, I spent over Eight Hours sleeping in Bed last night. That was like a dream come true for me. Again, I wore the New CPAP Mask with the Extra Padding, only feeling it leek a few times. When it was time to start my day, I felt refreshed.

Over the years, the technology put into CPAP Machines has greatly improved to the point that it Digitally Displays the time that you are connected for each night. Kathy mentioned that she felt tired when she got up. Tonight, when I went to turn down the Bed and turn on our CPAP Machines for the night, her machine showed she had only been connected for Four Hours. The longer you are connected to your Machine the more re-oxygenated your Blood becomes. Without that process taking place, you become more susceptible to Heart Attacks or Strokes. After I mentioned it to her, she said she’ll try harder to remember to wear her Mask. It’s when she gets up through the night, that she forgets to put it back on.

We had Cereal with Raspberries for breakfast before heading to the Computers. The Weather Network showed we could reach 28 F (-2 C) today with less Wind. Just looking outside showed the Sun melting away some of the plowed accumulations.

Around 11:00 the Credit Union finally called, apologizing for not getting back to me yesterday. It seemed we were not the only ones, that didn’t check our accounts for a couple of months. Fifteen Minutes later, both our accounts were accessible.

For lunch, we enjoyed a Homemade Italian Salad with Onions, Mushroom, Cherry Tomatoes and Green Olives.

I was surprised when our daughter Karen called early. She still has remaining Vacation Days to use before the end of the year. She verified the time for my Procedure on Monday. I didn’t know how long it would take, so had to call the Eye Institute and Text her the information.

With undesirable weather heading our way for tomorrow, we ran some last-minute errands.

Our first stop was Guardian Storage to collect our Mail. We barely made it there Ten Minutes before closing.

When we saw gasoline prices as low $1.169/Litre ($4.424/US Gal) at Pioneer gas station, we topped off the Car.

Finally we went to Wendy’s to have supper. It was packed, but they were churning out the orders. It also gave us time to people watch, but then we realized what time it was.

I dropped Kathy at the front entrance to our building, giving her time to turn on the “6 o’clock Local News”. I walked in just as it was starting.

We followed that up with a movie called “Christmas Holiday”. Too many stars to list, but it was good.

We’ll just take the next Two Days as they come.
