It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Special Occasion and Another Surprise.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Last night was nearly as good as Sunday night, though I only managed around Seven Hours of time between the Two CPAP Machines, but probably lost time while sleeping in the bathroom. Not the place I wanted to spend my time at night.

As soon as I saw the Sunlight peeking around the Window Blinds, I headed to the Livingroom. That gave me the chance to open the Balcony Blinds, turn on the Computers and get things started for breakfast. That’s when I heard, then saw Kathy already up and making up the Bed.

I was wanting this to be special but instead after having a lite breakfast we settled in at our Computers with our Coffees. I already had Plans but that was dependant on the weather. The forecast was calling for a wet morning, but according to the Radar it looked like we were in the clear.

Kathy depends on me to keep her Cell Phone charged, so when I checked it I found a Text from our Good Friend Gerry wishing Kathy a Happy Birthday. Unfortunately, his wife Sandy is in Hospital. We travelled together with our Fifth Wheels, to many locations years ago. He’ll let us know more about Sandy’s condition when he learns more himself. We are praying for you Sandy.

As we continued reading our son Kevin, then our daughter Karen also called wishing Kathy Birthday Wishes and a little more.

We took our time getting out the door, to give those still working time to enjoy their lunch. We went to Wendy’s for that meal, so we could enjoy the Special Occasion without any worries. Using a Coupon also helps keep our costs down.

Our next stop was our Storage Unit at Guardian Storage, where we dropped off some CPAP Supplies that don’t fit our present CPAP Machines but older units we had while still Fulltiming. Not many organizations except used Medical Equipment as donations, but we are still looking. When we went to the Office to collect our Mail we hit the jackpot. We last emptied it on Friday but I think the Postal Service is trying to get it all delivered before they possibly return to the Picket Line in May. They were “On Strike” last Fall for nearly a month and were ordered back to work to get the Christmas Deliveries out. Let’s hope this newly elected Government will bargain in good faith. Kathy got a confirmation that her Income Tax Refund had been directly deposited into her account, unlike mine.

Since our Government Cheques were also in, we headed to the Credit Union to make as many payments as possible. That also meant going to the Bank to spread our eggs around. That turned out to be a problem when there were only Two Tellers and Twenty People waiting for service. We were there nearly an Hour.

We stopped at Dollarama to restock on Breakfast Juice and Carbonated Drinks. It took Ten Minutes to find everything and Five Minutes to pay for it. The Bank should take lessons.

We also stopped at the Zehr’s grocery store to pick a few food stocks that we missed writing on the Shopping Lists. By the time we came outside, we were in the middle of Rush Hour, so we had no choice but to cut through the Walmart parking lot in order to get home before midnight.

Seeing very dark Clouds over our area, had us believing it was going to Rain this afternoon, but we got very lucky.

Our Two Wheel Folding Shopping Cart got quite a workout getting things up to our Apartment. The first thing we did was to open the Balcony Door and Bedroom Window, because it was so hot when we walked in. The Building had the Heat cranked up again. We had to rest after getting things put way.

The Weather Guesser on the 6 o’clock Local News confirmed that we broke a Temperature Record that was set back in 1944 this afternoon. They also reviewed the results of yesterday’s Federal Election. Not all was good news.

Instead of going out for supper, we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza with extra Pineapple and Mozzarella Cheese. We didn’t need anything else to nibble on for the rest of the night.

We later watched FBI”, “Will Trent” and “The Rookiefor entertainment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
