After trying to sleep in Bed for a couple of Hours, it took napping in my Recliner before going back to Bed worked. It was actually a blessing, because I’d forgot to turn on the Alarm Clock earlier and looking at it just before 6:00 in the morning reminded me to do so. It’s a good thing because I would have been late for my appointment.

We enjoyed Strawberries on our Cereal for breakfast along with our Coffee and Juice. It was only drizzling as we headed outside, but that would later change.

While I was making my 149th Blood/Plasma Donation, Kathy was busy reading one of the Three Books she is presently checking out. The Canadian Blood Services was very busy.

By the time we left, the Rain had intensified a bit, so we stopped at Pita Pit to take advantage of their Wednesday $7.00 Special. It is so popular that it took nearly Fifteen Minutes just to make our order because there was a line up to the door when we arrived. Fifteen Minutes later we were seated enjoying our Healthy Fast Food just like everyone else coming through their door. When it was time to leave we actually had to wait for the Rain to let up a bit before making a dash for the Car.

Instead of getting drenched by going shopping, we simply headed back home. By the time we parked the Car in the lot, the Rain had totally stopped and the Sun had broken through the Clouds. In the Apartment, The Weather Network showed we had already reached a high temperature of 57 F (14 C) this afternoon. Within minutes of reading that the Clouds filled the sky again, bringing more Rain that dropped the temperature in a matter of minutes.

I was busy catching up on my Blog reading, when my eyes decided to close. They must have thought that I didn’t sleep enough last night. We shared Macaroni and Cheese for supper.

The 6 o’clock Local News showed we could be seeing a change of colour to the landscape by morning, along with an increase of Wind.

While watching “Chicago Med”, “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.”, it was sometimes hard to hear the programs over the sound of the 38 MPH Wind Gust outside.

A quick look outside showed a bit of white covering everything.

There wasn’t as much bouncing around last night when I only spent an Hour in my Recliner during the middle of the night. At least I woke up feeling refreshed and spent some time on the Computer, before Kathy came out to join me.

I called it Brunch, making a Veggie Omelette that would hold us long into the afternoon, because I had a Plan. (We all know not to use that word around here, because if we do, it doesn’t happen.)

As soon as Kathy returned to the Computer, she noted that the Hearing Aide that seemed to fade away early yesterday, was not even working this morning. She tried cleaning and changing the inside Pillow, but still there was no sound passing through. A quick call to Hearing Life and we were on our way out the door.

It had been Raining since we got up, but it was down to a Drizzle all the way to the Tecumseh location.

There was already a gentleman at the counter when we walked in, so we sat down just as another woman with a similar problem walked in. She and Kathy were talking about what was happening when Tina came and got Kathy’s Hearing Aide. This was the one that had been sent out and recently Replaced. It only took Ten Minutes before she returned with it working the way it should. Part of the problem was, that even though Kathy had replaced the Pillow, Tina had to replace another part that was also plugged, and Kathy had not seen it. At least now she can hear me, and I’ll be able to remind her what to look for the next time it happens.

We headed over to Guardian Storage to pick up our Mail. It looks like we might have all the Tax Papers needed to get our Returns taken care of.

We stopped at Dollarama to get some walking in while picking up some food stocks that we were running low on.

It was nearly 3:00 and Brunch had worn off, so we stopped at Wendy’s to have Chicken Wraps for Linner.

The 6 o’clock Local News was abuzz with the Tariff War that was started by Donald Trump and what the different Provinces are planning to do to fight it. This may cause us to tighten our belts, but it could be worse across the International Border. Our temperature reached 50 F (10 C) after the Drizzle stopped, though it could get worse overnight.

We had made Plans on what programs we would be watching this evening, but all the programs were changed. Checking the display on the Television showed the same as I’d found earlier but it was still different.

I’ll be setting the Alarm tonight, so we don’t sleep late in the morning.

Sometimes, just when you think that you’ve figured out a problem it proves you wrong. Instead of spending Three Hour stints between my Recliner and Bed like Saturday Night, last night I moved every Two Hours.

Breakfast was a mixed snack breakfast a Shared Banana, Cookies and a Yogurt Cup.

My Computer was causing me problems today, so the only thing I could do was to Restart it Four Times. That’s the number of times that I tried to sleep last night.

I dressed up a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza with extra Pineapple and Mozzarella Cheese for us to share for a late lunch.

The last Two Trailers we owned I kept track of all the extras that we added. This Trailer I somehow only logged the original investments. Then I recalled making the recent purchases through Amazon. When I brought up my Purchasing History, there was all the information I needed to add to our Expense Spreadsheet.

It took time to prepare supper, so we were already watching the 6 o’clock Local News when we sat down to enjoy our Bacon/Veggie Wraps. It appears we will be teetering between Winter and Spring weather for the next couple of weeks. The problem is with the Frozen Ground and Heavy Rain, we could see Flooding in the area.

We later watched “Murdoch Mysteries”, “Rescue: HI-Surf” and “Sight Unseen” for entertainment.

Times Three But Getting Worse.

I was a little skeptical of whether the Sleepy-Time Tea would help me sleep last night, but I shouldn’t have been. I was in Bed by 11:30 and slept for Three Hours before having to move to my Recliner. Again, I spent another Three Hours there before heading back to Bed. After that I only rolled over once to give me another Three Hours hooked up to my CPAP Machine in Bed. When I finally opened my eyes, I felt refreshed, though I would continue to yawn my way through the remainder of the day, as a result of the Sleepy-Time Tea.

We tried to balance our meals today starting with Cereal with Strawberries for breakfast.

With the 21 F (- 6 C) temperatures and 34 MPH NW Wind Gusts, we stayed close to the Computers.

In answer to more Comments, X-rays have shown severe deterioration of the Three Lower Neck Discs, which is the cause of all this Pain.

When people are taught to be Welders they are shown how to weld mostly on benches or out in the field. When you become a Maintenance Welder, you learn all that but are expected to weld things in tight, limited spaces in order to keep production going. The Old 20 Ounce Fiberglass Shields that has to be flipped down with the nod of your head was bad enough, but for every Inch you tip your head forward, multiply that weight by Ten. Now add turning your head sideways to see the hidden targets inside the machines and there is another multiple of Ten. With time the damage only gets worse. You would think that people would be taught these dangers before you need to be put back together by a Physiotherapist. I have also used specialized pillows over the years, to which they never worked.

We simply shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Supreme Pizza for lunch.

We continued staying close to our Computers and getting caught up on some research for the remainder of the day.

After enjoying Chinese Food, we cooked up for supper we watched a few episodes of “Criminal Minds” before “The Bourne Ultimatum” came on.

Issues have been piling up this weekend, so tomorrow will definitely be busy dealing with them.

I mentioned last week that I had not taken any kind of Sleep Aide since the Christmas Holidays. Since I have again been struggling to sleep this past week, I gave in to taking a single dose of Zzzquil last night, in hopes of turning that around. I dozed in my Recliner for an Hour, before heading to bed. There I spent the next Two Hours staring at the ceiling while tossing and turning. I dozed for a few more Hours back in my Recliner. I can only hope it goes better tonight.

The Sun was shining before I left my chair and it would continue to melt away the many piles left from the Plows last week. Looking down at the parking lot made it easy to see the water heading for the drain, but the High Temperature for the day was only 25 F (-4 C).

We had a Pastry for breakfast, followed by a Hotdog for lunch. I then received a call from Alberta, but whoever it was quickly hung up when I answered. Was it something I said, or did they realize they had a wrong number?

Supper was a little more extravagant as we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Spinach Pizza with Green Olives and extra Mozzarella Cheese.

Just before the Murder Mystery started, I made us each a Loaded Banana Split using Bananas, Strawberries, Pineapple Pieces and Maraschino Cherries.

Having Body Tremors due to lack of sleep is not fun, so tonight we are both having a Sleepy Time-Tea to help us relax.

I managed to be hooked up to my CPAP Machine for all of 2 Hours and 47 Minutes last night. I certainly did not sleep in bed that long, but it was something. The rest of the night was spent in my Recliner and when I quietly got up at 7:30, it was only seconds later that Kathy came out to join me.

Looking outside the Balcony Door, all that was visible was a Cloud filled sky. Breakfast was simple and we brought our Coffees over to the Computers. Because of the early time, this would turn into a Two Cup Morning.

Lunch was also quick and easy with Split Pea With Ham Soup.

Kathy headed back to her Computer, while I got washed up before we left.

Not wanting to be late for my appointment I chose to take the Parkway and then the Expressway as a way of saving time. What I didn’t expect were Three Fire Trucks ahead in our lane, all making U-Turns to head in the opposite direction. That backed traffic up in both directions.

We soon arrived at the Windsor Heart Institute Building on Howard. This building has a number of medical businesses inside, but the building holds Two Addresses. When we went in the end of the building with the address for Clear Imagining, we and other people were shocked to find the office void of furniture with only a Painter working inside. He told us we had to walk all the way to the far end to find their new office at the different address. There was a line of people that had walked from the old office which made me Late by 5 Minutes. That worked out in the wash, because the bone mineral density testing Technician was running Fifteen Minutes behind. The test only took Ten Minutes before we were taking the long walk back to the Car.

A little notation about Clear Imaging, there are 13 Locations in the Windsor/Essex area and not all locations can do all the tests. Since the workers were “On Strike” for a month before Christmas, they had a backlog to get through before taking any other patients. Once they added you to the Wait List, when an opening due to a cancellation became available, you were called and told which location you had to go to. Last week I was in Tecumseh.

We headed to Wendy’s where we had supper. By simply being regular customers, they discounted our meals. We both had Chicken Sandwiches, but Kathy had a Caesars Side Salad instead of Fries, while I had Chili. Instead of large soft drinks, we had Small Chocolate Frosties, then we each enjoyed the smaller Seniors Soft Drink, for Free. That was more than enough to fill us up for the evening.

The first thing the 6 o’clock Local News talked about was the local results of the Ontario election. Then they televised a disgusting meeting between the President of Ukraine and Donald Trump. We won’t be the 51st State. The weather continues to See-Saw back and forth with us reaching 54 F (12 C) this afternoon.

We later watched the movie “The Marksman” for entertainment.

I was hoping to get another restful night’s sleep in last night, but it didn’t happen. Thinking I could just go straight to Bed and sleep, did not work. I still ended up in my Recliner in the middle of the night, before returning to sleep in the bed.

I was up by 7:30 this morning, so after getting as ready as possible for breakfast and opening the Balcony Blinds, I headed to the Computer. Looking outside confirmed what “The Weather Network” was showing. The sky was Overcast with a temp of 28 F (-2 C). They also forecasted a high of 41 F (5 C) this afternoon, but we would again make it to 45 F (7 C).

Luckily, Kathy had slept well, so was wide awake sitting at her Computer, when the phone call for a Package delivery came in for us.

We settled for Grilled Cheese with Olives for lunch before heading out.

Since this is Election Day on our Province, we did walk past the Voting Poll down in the Lobby. Since we had already voted at the Advanced Poll, we simply ignored it, but will use it come the next Election.

Our very first stop was Guardian Storage where I collected the Mail and the Package. Kathy did not realize that I had ordered “The Legend Of John Lea”, the 13th Book in that series. In total we now have 47 Books written by Nick Russell, who we met before he published his first Mystery book. After reading his first, Kathy told him that he had to keep writing and he has. He weaves stories that keep you wondering “Who did it?”

We stopped at the Pioneer gas station to fill the Car with Gasoline. At $1.499/Litre ($5.673/US Gallon) the cheapest we’ve seen in a long time, it still cost $65.00 to fill.

Our next stop was the Motor City Community Credit Union to do some banking, since our our Government Pay-Cheques came in. We managed to do most of it here, before driving over the Bank, to put some Eggs in a different basket.

We then headed back to The Bulk Barn to pick up some healthy snacks at bargain prices, before going over to the Zehr’s grocery store. Since this was Thursday, all the shelves had been restocked with lots of the items we needed at reduced prices.

It was too early to eat out, so we headed for home. As we were loading our Two Wheeled Folding Shopping Cart, we could see water droplets hitting the Car. That helped us to move a lot faster. Inside the Apartment it would take nearly Two Hours to clean up the Strawberries, cut up a huge Salmon Fillet into meal sized portions, and get everything else put away.

We then shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza, with extra Pineapple and Mozzarella Cheese for supper, just as the 6 o’clock Local News was starting. We might see the Sun one day in the next Seven Days, with a mix of Flurries and Rain on the rest. We were also reminded to get out and Vote. There was a Fatal Collision last night just up the road from where we live.

We later watched “Matlock”, “Law and Order” and “The Pitt” for entertainment.

With an appointment tomorrow afternoon, we’ll be busy.
