Still Windy, ER and The Pitt.

It was the fourth night of moving between the Bed, my Recliner and back to Bed. My sleeping habits were improving, but now they are taking a dramatic reversal. Another thing that's been noticed, is that because of the interuptions during the night, I have been sleeping later in the morning. If this continues to happen, I may need to use my Alarm Clock to get me back on schedule.

We had Yogurt Cups and Cookies for breakfast before moving to our Computers.

Our daughter Karen called to see how we were doing. After hearing our answers, she specified that she meant me. I was stunned, like what was she talking about. When she mentioned my Eyes, I felt like a fool. After not using the Drops yesterday or today, I had totally forgotten having the Lasik Surgery on Monday. She must have thought that I was still sleeping, but my eyes are feeling good and focusing the way they should. "Thanks for asking Karen."

We waited until Noon before heading out. Having checked The Weather Network earlier and noting that for the second day in a row we were getting 39 MPH (63 KLM) Wind Gusts, I found the only difference was that they were from the South today. I was glad that Kathy waited unside the rear entrance for me to bring the Car around, because I almost got blown over with one Gust.

Our first stop was Guardian Storage where we collected the last of this week's Mail.

We then headed over to Wendy's where we enjoyed their 6 PC Chicken Nuggets and Seniors Soft Drinks for lunch. Thought it was 23 F (-5 C) everyone scrambling to get inside was bundled up for an Arctic Blast.

Our final stop was the Dollarama closest to home, where we restocked on Breakfast Juice and Brisk Iced Tea before the coming Holidays.

I dropped Kathy at the front entrance to our building, before parking the Car. Even though the Wind was at my back, I used the same entrance, so it wouldn't blow in my face, and it felt like I was floating on air.

We finished our Computer work before making supper. We enjoyed Sauteed Zucchini, Potato Slices and Honey Garlic Spareribs. We later had a small dish of Frozen Chocolate Yogurt for dessert.

While checking what there was to watch on television, I was surprised to see the medical drama called "E.R." running a marathon. We turned it on long enough to see the last episodes. Since there was no "Local News" on today, we continued watching a few episodes of "The Pitt". Noah Wyle, though he has aged, performs in both shows.

We've got things to do tomorrow.

Step Back In Time, Not Born Yesterday.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Why I have stepped back in time, I have no idea. It seems the idea of spending the entire night sleeping in bed was only a dream. After starting the Last Three Nights off in Bed, I have been waking after only a Couple of Hours. Unable to go back to sleep, I head off to my Recliner, where I sleep for another Three Hours before returning to Bed. Today I slept past 9:00, which to me is a bad habit.

I was barely out of the Bathroom this morning, when Kathy got up to start making the Bed, thinking that she had overslept. Knowing that we have been cutting back on our food intakes, we settled breakfast by having a bowl of Cereal today.

Today's high temperature of 30 F (-1 C) was at midnight and with the 39 MPH (60 KLM) West Wind Gusts, the Privacy Panel on our Balcony was banging up a storm against the Railing, while making it feel closer to the Zero mark.

We shared a Banana as a snack around 3:00 because we just were not Hungry.

We were watching the "6 o'clock Local News" when we had the last of the Stew over a bed of Penne for supper. I sprinkle a bit of Parmigiana Cheese on it, as in the words of Emeril Lagasse, "to kick it up a notch". It tasted wonderful.

With the same old News coming our way, we later watched "Frosty the Snowman" with Jimmy Durante as the narrator, then we watched "Home Alone 2". I can't believe that criminals are that stupid, but it made for great laughs.

You readers have been reading some of the BS that this new Management Company have been feeding us. Neither Kathy or I were born yesterday and have owned a number of homes between us, that the heat came through the registers in the floor not the ceiling. We even had another Apartment where the heat came from Baseboard Registers. Some think that because we are retired, we don't have a clue how things work, are they in for a wakeup call.

We have some last-minute errands to run tomorrow, as a fact, this is looking like a busy week.

More Adjustments and Wet Errands.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

It seemed that there were more adjustments to make on my New CPAP Mask last night and with other discomforts, I found myself needing to spend some time in my Recliner. That seemed to do the trick, and I did finish my night off in Bed.

After getting things ready for a breakfast snack, I started my morning reading on my Computer. I even went to the extent of reviewing the Radar for the area. It supported the forecast of possible Showers starting after 4:00 this afternoon. That would give us time to run some errands and not have to worry about getting too wet.

With 48 F (9 C) temperatures we headed out shortly after noon. With a lite southerly breeze, it was quite comfortable. Our first stop was Shoppers Drug Mart where I needed to pick up more Extra Strength Tylenol. Since this was a Seniors Discount Day and I had a Ten Dollar Coupon, I was quite happy with the low cost of today's purchase.

Our breakfast snack had worn off, and it was nearly 1:00, so we stopped at Wendy's where we both enjoyed their 6 pc Chicken Nuggets for our lunch. It also gave us a chance to talk with Paula and do some People Watching.

The clouds were starting to darken when we left, so we headed over to Guardian Storage to collect our Mail. It worked out perfectly because that meant we then had to stop at the Credit Union to deposit a Government Cheque, but the Rain had started earlier than forecasted. Kathy stayed in the Car while I made the transaction.

Our last stop was the Zehr's grocery store to pick up needed Produce, Dairy and Canned Goods. The Rain had picked up as we left but seemed to stop by the time we got home.

We waited until the "6 o'clock Local News" was over before sharing a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Mushroom Pizza for supper. We later watched the original "Home Alone". It's still funny after all these years.

We've got some wrapping to do tomorrow.

You Might Be a Redneck If

Feeling Like A Sandbox.

 Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

It felt good going straight to Bed last night, but the feeling wouldn't last. Just over an Hour later, my Neck and Shoulders started screaming for relief. After spending just under Three Hours in my Recliner, I was able to finish the night in Bed.

Having slept in had us eating a Yogurt Cup and Breakfast Bar to start the day. Checking the Radar showed that tomorrow's forecasted Rain won't reach our reach our area until later in the afternoon.

It was nearly noon when my Eyes started to feel like a Sandbox. That's the same feeling you experience when getting a Welding Flash, but today it was because we had forgotten my Eye Drops. Though there was no cutting to the eyes this time like my first Surgery, the Laser only caused burning to correct the problem. Just like a Cut or External Burn, proper care must be taken for it to heal. The Drops immediately created a Soothing Coolness that brought them back into focus.

By that time, we were running behind schedule and chose to share a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for lunch.

Stepping outside was welcoming because even though it was not a record, we were enjoying a Sunny 46 F (8 C) with a gentle Southerly Breeze. We also ran into John the Building Maintenance Man and told him how well his Heated Ceilings were last night. He claims to have Heating Specialist coming in soon, because we are not the only ones complaining.

Since it was after 2:30, Rush Hour Traffic was in full swing. We lucked out crossing the City on Riverside Drive, only experiencing a single Construction Traffic Controlled Stop.

We managed to arrive with 5 Minutes to spare for our appointment at Fantastic Sam's but looking through the front window, were surprised to see Julia already working on another customer. Being temporarily shorthanded, she was working a long shift, but that only delayed Kathy by Ten Minutes. (Not like a Doctor's Office!). We both felt much better and were leaving only Five Minutes later than normal. (Weird Math.)

Since it would soon be supper, we thought outside the box and went to Taco Bell. We chose Chicken Quesadillas with Cinnamon Delights as a dessert.

Since the Sun sets at 5:00, I dropped Kathy at the front entrance and soon joined her upstairs. She was having trouble with our Office Stapler and could not get it to work. I found Undersized Staples jammed inside. Those Staples made a quick trip to the Recycle Bin.

We watched the "6 o'clock Local News", before watching "The Santa Clause" again. I enjoy it and Kathy watched it like it was the first time she has seen it.

We'll be out running errands before the Rain hits tomorrow.

It was very strange how before I went to this morning last night, I could see better than this morning. As soon as I left the Bedroom this morning, Kathy sensed my absence and came out to join me.

After having Cereal for breakfast, we had our Coffees at our Computers when we had a knock on our door. I had spoke to John the Building Maintenance Man yesterday after getting home, while wearing my Dark Glasses. I was upset of our lack of control for our heat. Today he came with a Heat Gun to check things out. Of course, our heat was comfortable.

All through School we were taught that Heat rises and Cold settles down. My major in High School was Architectural Drafting along with all the construction trades as secondary classes and they taught the same thing.

When we moved in to this building, the owner said our heat was under the floors and it worked just fine until this New Management Company took over. Today, John tells us our heat is in the Ceilings and it's the tenant below us that is controlling our Heat. That is BS and I am not done with this.

After yesterday's procedure, I was told to make an appointment with my Optometrist, which I did. This morning, they called me back saying he would not be there that week and rescheduled the appointment for a week later.

We enjoyed Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch as a way of staying warm.

Kathy continues to help me with the Eye Drops. If I do it myself, I'll be wearing most of them.

We turned on the Television to listen to, but I could not focus enough to watch.

Yesterday, our daughter Karen had left us Beef Stew for supper, but I could focus even less at the time. When we went to heat it up for supper today, we found enough for Four Servings or Two Meals. That will probably be Thursday.

We later watched the movie "Scrooged" with Bill Murray. They shortened it to Two Hours including Commercials and they cut out the parts that tied it all together.

With an appointment for tomorrow afternoon, I hope to have a better view of things.
