I didn’t say what I wanted to out loud the other night, because I was scared to jinx myself. It seemed that just thinking it was enough. After going straight to Bed last night, just like Friday and Saturday, the Pains in both my Shoulders started. Less than Six Hours later, I had no other choice but to head off to my Recliner, hoping that after some realigning, I could go back to Bed, where it was warmer between the sheets. For some reason my CPAP Mask kept riding high on the bridge of my nose, basically blocking my air flow. Still in Pain with not only my Shoulders but my Neck as well, I simply pulled the Mask off and napped on and off until starting my day at 8:30. The reason for napping like that is when a person has Sleep Apnea as bad as I do, you wake every time that you stop breathing, or Gasping for air.

We settled for Cereal for breakfast, again, but it would tide us over until lunch. With it only being 16 F (-9 C) outside, we were in no hurry to go anywhere. While Kathy sat at her Computer having her Coffee, I was getting ready for the task at hand.

By the time I headed down to the Second Floor Laundry Room, it was already 10:00 and others in the building had already filled the machines. I went back to the Apartment where I read a few Blogs, then finished my Cold Coffee. I was then able to go downstairs and find almost all the Washers and half the Dryers empty.

I normally leave a few Washers available but not today, as they became available I filled them. I wanted to be done before supper this evening. I had just enough time to get a few sips of my second cup of Coffee before heading back to start moving what I could to the Dryers. I always make certain the Lint Traps on the Dryers are clean, but today I was snagging my fingers on Scented Beads that had melted from the Drum and hardened in the Traps. If any readers of this Blog are using those things at home, you are damaging your machines.

With Four Dryers finishing the job of Seven Washers, we went back to the Apartment. We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Three-Meat Pizza for lunch and finish our Coffees.

As soon as we were finished eating we headed back to start folding everything up. It was past 4:00 by the time we finished putting it away in the Dresser Drawers.

Since this is Monday and the Big Mary Chicken Sandwiches are only Fifty-Five Percent their normal price, we headed to Mary Browns to take advantage of that bargain. With the high temperature only reaching 28 F (-2 C) this afternoon, I had to chop the Car out of last night’s droppings. Of course, that was the same time a Telemarketer called. “No Sale”. I dropped Kathy at the front entrance when we came back.

We had minutes to spare to watch the “6 o’clock Local News”. More Winter weather in the forecast.

We also watched two more episodes of “Caught on Dash-Cam”. It’s amazing how people who cause accidents are quick to start beating up the victims they ran into.

We’ll be on the move again tomorrow.

I'm not going to talk too loudly, but it felt good to feel rested when I got out of Bed at 7:35. For the second night in a row, I went straight to Bed like I used to before having my Hip Surgery.

I was busy reading Blogs when Kathy came out to join me. The heavily Clouded sky was keeping the temperature well below Freezing Mark, though there would be the occasional burst of Sunlight that practically blinded us at the Computers. Since I hadn’t gotten anything ready for breakfast, we had to settle for Banana Pancakes as a way of keeping our Carbs up.

It has been a while, so we both enjoyed a warm Epson Salts Foot Bath to ease all our foot discomforts.

When it came time to make lunch, I happen to notice a couple of Beefsteak Tomatoes at the back of the Fridge that didn’t get used last week. Together with Mozzarella Cheese, they made great Grilled Sandwiches with Olives for garnishing.

The 35 MPH Wind Gusts started tapering down by mid afternoon, which helped to lower the rattling sound of the Privacy Barrier against the center Balcony Railing.

Even though we only restocked our Vegetables last week, I didn’t want them going bad. It took me longer to slice them up compared to any other time. It also took longer for them to cook because of the amount sauteing in the Wok. The Bacon/Veggie Wraps were not only tasty but filling as well, plus there is enough leftover, we’ll be having more Healthy meals this week.

Being that it was still early, as soon as we had eaten, I headed for shower. While getting ready, I was looking at the Sweat Gland Cyst still under my arm. When I noticed that it was again growing but had an opening, I gave it a squeeze. What came out was not what I expected, but I am certainly feeling better with no Pain under my arm.

With November finished, temperatures dropping and errands along with appointments, it could be a busy week to start the month of December.

I mentioned the other day, I'm just hoping to be able to go straight to Bed, without having to spend time in my Recliner first, sometime soon. Kathy had already gone to Bed before I had published the Blog last night. By the time I shut things down it was 12:02 and I was actually starting to feel tired, so instead of sitting in my Recliner, I went straight to Bed. It was 7:35 this morning, when my Shoulder started telling me it was time to get up.

Though I got things ready to quickly put together breakfast and opened the Balcony Blinds, I started reading Blogs on the Computer. There was no need to adjust the Blinds to block the Sun because there were too many Clouds. With a chore Planned, I left Kathy sleep in while I continued reading.

After having a breakfast snack, while Kathy sat with her Coffee at her Computer, I let mine cool while I retrieved our Vitamin/Medication Bag from its perch. After a sip of Coffee I started setting up the table to do our Pill Doucettes. By the time that was ready, I'd finished my Coffee and started cooking lunch, when we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza. It was 12:02 (Why does that time sound familiar?)

It was close to 2:00 when I finished Six Weeks worth of Doucettes for Kathy. Once I got things ready to start doing mine, I had to take a break. Finishing that, I took another break after putting the table back in order for us to use for dining at 4:30. Due to lack of physical activity, we simply had Macaroni and Cheese for supper.

It was past 7:30 (Not quite the same) by the time I had logged the Medications and Vitamins into our Spreadsheet. Looks like a few more will be needed before the next time. Soon enough, everything was stashed and we were able to watch a few episodes of "9-1-1 Lonestar" before getting things ready for Bed.

After looking through the closed Blinds at the Car and Truck downstairs, I told Kathy that I dislike Winter, because everything is the same colour. The Weather Guessers say there is more to come.

Something I have been dreaming for is getting closer to taking place. Last night, I was only connected to the CPAP Machine by my Recliner for Twenty-Eight Minutes before heading off to Bed for the rest of the night. I'm on the verge of being in Bed the entire night. I didn't sleep the entire time though, I spent the last Half Hour watching Kathy sleep, while holding her hand.

I barely made it to the Kitchen when Kathy came out to join me. We enjoyed Cereal for breakfast before taking our Coffees to the Computers.

In answer to a Comment, the answer I got was just as confusing as the first agent left me. The first one could have simply said here is your total, instead of telling me after the fact, "Oh, you have an Interest Charge still owing because of the date". When I ask an honest question, I want an honest answer.

By the time we finished our morning reading, it was nearly 2:00. Even though we had layered up a little warmer than we have been doing, we should have done it wearing Parkas instead of Jackets because the Thirty-Five MPH Northwesterly Wind Gusts, chilled us to the bone.

Like other Bloggers that we read, most try to get out once a day to run errands or to go out to eat. We try to combine both as a way saving time as well. We went to Wendy's where we used a Coupon to save on our lunch. Being a Senior, they will give you a Fountain Drink or Coffee at no charge, whether you have a meal or not. It was a Coffee Day for us today.

Next we headed to Guardian Storage to collect our Mail since we'll be too busy to do it tomorrow. As I was emptying our Mailbox, Chantel mentioned that she had Two Purolator Envelopes for us. I knew that we haven't ordered anything, but they were addressed to us, so I took them along. We were surprised when we found our new Passports in these oversized envelopes.

With lower prices, our next stop was Pioneer gas station to top up the Car. I was nearly frozen by the time I got back in the Car.

With this nearing the end of the month, we finally made it to the Credit Union, where we had less to worry about after our visit with our Financial Advisor the other day.

From there we made one more stop at the Bank in order to spread those eggs around, before we headed for home. Kathy appreciated being dropped off at the front entrance, even if there were a couple of vehicles parked directly in front.

It was past 7:00 when we had Split Pea with Ham Soup for supper. It was more the warmth that we needed but we were still very satisfied.

After watching a few episodes of "Monk" we watched the "11 o'clock Local News". The Weather Guesser showed a big change in the forecasted Flurries. From the near Five Inches of accumulation expected for tomorrow, we may only see an Inch on Sunday. We won't mind that.
