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.

Last night ended up being on the down swing of the roller coaster ride, so I’ve been walking around all day wishing it was again Bedtime.

We weren’t in a hurry to do much since the parking lots were still covered with the droppings from the last Thunderstorm that went through the area around 6:30 this morning. When we finally sat down at our Computers the Sun started breaking through the Clouds.

I received another Scam Call this morning. After hanging up, I went to block the Phone Number but there was a problem, it was my mine. How is that possible?

There were a few things we had forgot to add to our Shopping List the other day, so we had a few stops to make. Our first stop was to Shoppers Drug Mart. Having checked my Spreadsheet I took note of which Vitamins we’d be short of when I again work on our Doucettes. Thursdays are Seniors Discount Days, where we save Twenty Percent off regularly priced items. Unfortunately, we could not take advantage of that today, because all the Vitamins I was picking up were already “On Sale” for Forty Percent off the regular price.

Next we went to nearest Dollarama to find the Breakfast Juice that they didn’t have the other day. They still didn’t have it today because their Back Order did not arrive.

There was more shopping to do and wanting something different to eat, so for supper we stopped at Arby’s. Every year when Lent starts, they serve White Fish Sandwiches until Easter. They were hot out of the Fryer and tasted great. We might be back before they are gone again.

The nearby Dollarama was in the same boat as the other outlet, so we left empty handed.

We headed to the Zehr’s grocery store to pick up other things on the list. We spent more time than necessary trying to find Malt Vinegar. It wasn’t with all the other Condiments, so we finally found it Four Aisles over, in the Pickle Aisle. We also found a couple of Breakfast Juice for $3.25 to hold us over until Dollarama has it for $1.75 for the exact same sized container.

We walked in the Apartment with just enough time to turn on the Television for the start of the 6 o’clock Local News. I continued putting things away while listening to what was being said. Our upcoming Weekend could be a washout.

We later watched “Matlock”, “Law and Order” and “The Pitt”, before watching the 11 o’clock Local News.

Words of Inspiration

“The great drawback of being witty is that you have to keep your eyes fixed on the semi-idiots around you, and absorb their worthless sensations.”

Stendhal, French Writer.

Very Wet 150 and Why.

I actually felt like I had a good night’s sleep, but I think having to set the Alarm might have had something to do with both of us feeling tired most of the day.

We woke to the sound of Thunder and when the Blinds were opened, there was no light coming in to brighten our rooms. Looking down to the parking lots, was like looking down on a pond.

After enjoying a quick Snack for breakfast we headed down to the Lobby only to find the rear exit is closed for the next few days. The New Building Management Company that took over our building a few years go, are now upgrading the building’s Trash System, by installing a Compactor. We had no choice but to exit by the front entrance.

I had Kathy wait under the Front Canopy while I retrieved the Car, so she wouldn’t get so wet. I teasingly told her that I’d stay dry by running between the drops. (Those days are gone.)

There was no need to worry about any Road Construction, thanks to all the Rain. Some of the roads we took, if you were in the curbside lane, you were creating quite a Tidal Wave a you drove along.

Arriving at the Canadian Blood Services building, we were able to wait a few minutes for the Rain to ease, before making a dash for the door. Even though I had used my Phone to get a picture of the Qr-Code from my Laptop, I had to redo the Questionnaire, in house because it was too dark for their scanner to read. Whenever a donor reaches a Milestone of donations, the staff make a big deal about it. Today, I made my 150th Blood/Plasma Donation and it only took 27 Years to accomplish it.

Growing up, even though we lived in the city, my Father was teaching me to be a farmer, since that was where he grew up. He didn’t teach me things like sports. On my first day at school a teacher noticed I was just standing back, watching others play Baseball. The teacher insisted I was at bat and told me to hit the ball. When I hit it over the ditch at the end of the yard, the boy whose father was all about winning at sports, grabbed the Bat and hit me across the face, breaking my nose. It healed more internally causing me years of breathing problems.

My Mother had lots of Health Issues and need many Blood Transfusions, like other people I knew, I vowed when I could make those Donations I would. The problem was in order for me to breath, I was living on Antihistamines and that was a No-No for Blood Donors. After Thirty-Five Years of struggling to breath it was surgically repaired. Before I could make my First Donation my wife was diagnosed with Cancer, for the Second Time. She required many Transfusions, but it wasn’t until after her passing that I made my First Donation.

I’ve been to places where I did not know I could donate in our travels, and I had a few delays because of Health Issues of my own. So now that I have reached this goal, I am looking forward to reaching a higher level. Taking Vitamins and getting back to Exercising will help me fight to achieve that goal.

If anyone reading this, is in Good Health, please feel free to start donating to a very worthwhile cause. For every Donation, you could help to save up to Five Lives. “It’s in you to give” is what I told a News Reporter on Christmas Eve one year.

We checked for Mail at Guardian Storage before taking advantage of lower gasoline prices at the Pioneer gas station. We then headed to Wendy’s for lunch, before heading home. The Rain only stopped around suppertime.

We later watched “Chicago Med”, “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.”.

There are presently Severe Thunder Storms/ Tornadoes in our area. Tomorrow’s Sunshine has been replaced with more Rain, but Friday is looking more promising.
