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.

Scammers, On-Line Banking and The Call.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

It felt wonderful not having to worry about what time we’d start our day, but we were having breakfast by 8:00. Did you notice that? It seems that when we know that we have appointments, we struggle to get a restful sleep. Without a set goal for the day, we sleep soundly.

Eating only a Muffin and Yogurt Cup for breakfast, we got ahead of the rush at our Computers, checking the News, Weather, Messages and finally Blogs took us until noon.

Strangely, I was receiving phone calls about products that Kathy had researched on the Computer. Then calls from Amazon wanting to clarify my account numbers. We weren’t born yesterday!

We enjoyed Grilled Bacon/Tomato/Cheese Sandwiches for lunch.

I then went On-line to do some Banking. I have done this often enough that when there was no changes happening to our accounts, I knew we were going for a ride.

Before that could happen, I received a call from Alexis at Windsor Essex County Alzheimer Society Center. We talked for over Ten Minutes as she gathered the necessary information. We now have an appointment next month. Of course, Kathy is not happy with this, saying I’m making appointments behind her back. That is the Denial pushing back, but I need help.

Our temperatures hit 69 F (20.4 C) and even the Northeasterly Wind Gusts were only 16 MPH (10 KLM) making it a very comfortable day.

Our destination was the Credit Union, where after explaining the inability to do any On-line Banking the teller checked all our accounts to make certain nothing had been taken. Then, she made the payments while we waited. Part of this On-line stuff is to eliminate the need for In-person appearances, especially when we are far from home.

To finish these payments off, meant also going to the Bank to move Eggs in another basket.

Since it was nearly 5:00, we stopped at Wendy’s to use a Coupon to lower the cost of our supper.

We watched a few episodes of “Forensic Files” before the “11 o’clock Local News”. Today’s forecasted Rain, did not happen, but the Black Clouds brought on darkness early.

We’ll see what we can do tomorrow.

Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment, unless it personally attacks someone for their opinion, or is Spam.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

  1. I do not comment often, but want you to know that I totally understand the place you are in now with Kathy. My husband had Alzheimers and it is a long road that is travel. The denial is one of the hardest things to deal with. Stay strong and take care.
