The other day I made a statement about balancing my time sleeping between my Recliner and in Bed. It was really not true but just a quip because of the time I have been spending in each. My main goal is to get back to the Gym to regain muscle tone in both my Shoulders and Neck, so I will eventually be able to sleep the entire night in Bed.

After spending a bit more time in my Recliner, I was able to wake up in Bed this morning. Surprisingly, when I woke at 8:00, Kathy was napping on top of the Bed Covers without her CPAP Mask on.

After looking outside and checking The Weather Network for any future changes, Cereal became our breakfast for today.

While checking our G-Mail associated with our Blog, I was surprised to find a couple of advertisements directed to Kathy from Fortune Tellers. They ended up in the same file as Spam Comments do for our Blog.

I was in a bit of a rush, so we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for lunch.

We had watched the “6 o’clock Local News” before having Perogies for supper. The Weather Guesser showed that after tomorrow, we could finally experience more Seasonal Temperatures above the Freezing Mark.

We later watched “The Pitt” for entertainment. With our granddaughter working as a Trauma Nurse in Detroit, she says this show is an accurate depiction of what she sees daily.

We’ll be much busier tomorrow.

Better, 160th and A Sad Day.

Normally I wait until the mornings to take a shower because they tend to invigorate me, which normally gives me a sleepless night. With the possible change to our appointments for the day. I took a chance that I would luck out and actually sleep. Being that my up and down sleep patterns of the last few nights had left me slightly fatigued, I fell asleep almost instantly when sat back in my Recliner. When I woke long enough to move to our Bed, I verified the Alarm was set. I am glad I did, because it was not. The next thing I remembered was that Alarm waking me at 8:00. Today, I had spent Eight Minutes more in Bed.

Looking outside, all we could see were Clouds in the sky. After a Breakfast Snack Bar, Breakfast Juice to wash down our Morning Medication and a Yogurt Cup, we took our Coffees to our Computers. As is the norm for days like this, as soon as I had checked The Weather Network, I opened my G-Mail to fill in my Questionnaire, so as to later save me time.

We barely had time to finish our Coffees, change our Clothes and we were on our way out the door. Kathy insisted on walking out to the Car with me, but with the Northwesterly Wind blowing slightly, she wished that she had waited at the door.

After taking the Drive to the Parkway, before getting on the Expressway, we were arriving at the Canadian Blood Services building, with little time to spare. By having done the Questionnaire at home, I simply presented a picture of the Q-Pass I had on my phone. After a quick check up, I was soon tipped back and hooked up. Luckily, Kathy remembered to bring a book to read while waiting for me. It was not long before I had made my 160th Blood Donation.

I had never finished that early, so when we went to Pita Pit to order our Healthy Fast Food, the place was nearly empty. By the time we sat down, the place was filling up with people coming in for lunch.

Though we had another appointment just up the road later this afternoon, Kathy just wanted to go home. Luckily, the newly opened No-Name grocery store had just opened in that Plaza. We went in mostly to check out the prices and actually purchased a few things, but other than that we can get the same prices at the nearby Zehr’s.

We stopped at Guardian Storage to collect our Mail, before returning to our Apartment. We barely had time to relax before having to leave again.

We arrived at Fantastic Sam’s with Ten Minutes to spare before Julia walked in for her shift. We had time to chat a bit while she trimmed back Eight Weeks worth of hair. We felt human again when we walked out the door.

Kathy was now insistent on eating out for the second time today, but first we stopped at the Bulk Barn to take advantage of their Senior’s Day Discount on Healthy Snacks.

From there we went to Wendy’s to have Chicken Nuggets for supper. Since it was nearly 5:00 when we arrived, the place was moderately filled, but by the time we headed for home again, it was filling up.

On the “6 o’clock Local News” there was disturbing news of a School Shooting in British Columbia, leaving Nine Dead and Twenty-Five more wounded. In Quebec there was a Murder/Suicide of two young Teenagers. What is going on here? The Weather Guesser showed that tomorrow will be the only day in the next week, that does not get above the Freezing Mark for our area.

We later watched a few episodes of “Mayday” before calling it a night.

Balancing Time and Birthday Wish.

Though I am still sharing my time between my Recliner and Bed, I try to split it as even as possible but often it is more one sided. The first thing I do after starting my day is to turn off both CPAP Machines and check the time. Last night, I spent 3:43 in Bed and 3:44 in my Recliner. Talk about balancing my sleep.

The Sun was hidden behind the Clouds with the temperature at 23 F (-5 C) when we opened the Blinds. We settled for Banana Pancakes for breakfast, before taking our Coffees to our Computers. There was a lot of reading to get caught up on and by the time that was finished, streaks of Sunlight started shining across the parking lot.

Trying to balance our intakes, we enjoyed Split Pea with Ham Soup for lunch. I remembered Kathy getting frustrated, not wanting to serve the meals every day. This was my way of changing things around, so that we would not get tired of the same old, same old.

We had Planned on making an important phone call earlier in the day but had a second thought about doing it later. That worked out perfectly, because it gave our daughter Karen a chance to check how we were doing, while on her way home from work. Having a vehicle that is equipped with Blue Tooth makes things so much easier.

We enjoyed Honey Garlic Spareribs along with Sauteed Zucchini and Potato Slices for supper. We cheated by topping off our meal with a small dish of Frozen Yogurt for dessert later.

We had just started eating when the “6 o’clock Local News” came on. The Weather Guesser really surprised us, when he showed that we had reached a high of 45 F (7 C) this afternoon.

As soon as the News was over, we made a very important call to wish our grandson Cameron a Very Happy Birthday. Hard to believe that he is already 26 years young. He makes everyone smile.

After cleaning up the Dishes and Kitchen, we watched an episode of “Mayday”. That was one of the better outcomes we have seen.

After only a short time in my Recliner, I was able to finish the night in Bed. That is where things took an unexpected turn. The moment that I stood next to the Bed this morning, I fell against it. This was not a case of my Vertigo causing this, because the room was not Spinning. It seemed the problem was my legs would go in a direction that I did not want to go. After using the wall for support, I was able to use my Cane until my body functioned the way it was supposed to.

Looking outside the Clouds filled the sky, but there were no signs of a breeze. Checking The Weather Network, it confirmed what I knew, but it also showed the temperature to be 3 F (-16 C). It would eventually make it to 21 F (-6 C) by mid-afternoon.

It was barely past 9:00 while Kathy made the Bed, that I used some of the Veggie Stir-Fry, I made last evening, to make a Bacon/Veggie Omelette that we shared for our breakfast. Our Coffees accompanied us to our Computers.

It was after 3:00 when Kathy had an Apple for an afternoon snack, while I chose to have a Mandarin Orange.

We shared the second Ready-Made Salad we picked up a the grocery store last week as our supper, while watching the “6 o’clock Local News”. The forecast for this coming week has changed quite a bit since we last saw it. The temperature will not get as high as first mentioned, but with more Sun in the forecast, we could be starting to see more Green to our landscape.

We later watched a few episodes of “Forensic Files”.

Handling Sleep Apnea.

I am really getting tired of repeating the same thing day after day about my sleep issues, a I am sure you are when reading about it. Unfortunately, if we cannot sleep properly, the rest of our lives is a mess as well. It was back to spending more time in my Recliner than in Bed last night.

When I suggested Cereal for breakfast this morning, Kathy gave it a Thumbs Down, saying I could have it but she just wanted a Snack, so that was what we had.

When setting up my important places to monitor for the weather, I chose where I felt a connection to, but it seems the Technicians at The Weather Network, like to impose places that I am not as interested in. Now that it has all been reprogrammed again, it should last for a few days.

It was past 2:00, when we had Perogies for our lunch.

Today’s temperature would finally reach 16 F (-9 C), under sunny skies with Northerly Winds.

Yesterday, when I spoke about using a CPAP Machine to keep breathing at night, lots of people do not realize how lucky they are by not needing to use one. Both Kathy (21.5 Years) and I (19 Years) since we were diagnosed as having Sleep Apnea and use CPAP Machines. When we have even brief Power Outages, we feel dragged out for days. In our early RVing Days, many of the Campgrounds we stayed at, would lose Power, so even with our first Travel Trailer, we set up with a Pure Sine Wave Inverter. After that, we never had interrupted sleep, until we moved into this Apartment. We are also Planning on adding Solar Panels on this RV, just in case we go Off The Grid again, because we are hoping to soon.

Some people can use a Dental Appliance, as long as they do not have any False Teeth. Unfortunately, we are both from a generation, that our parents chose extractions as a way of dealing with Cavities due to their finances.

Since I got a late start at slicing up Vegetables for a Stir Fry this evening, we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Chicken Pizza for supper. On the bright side, it will be quick and easy to make the next few meals.

Though it has been around for years, Kathy and I watched the movie “Bruce Almighty” for the very first time and enjoyed it.

We will see what tomorrow has in store for us.

I was back and forth between my Recliner and Bed again last night, but at least this time I did sleep. It seems that the more time spent in Bed, seems to give me a more restful night which means my CPAP Machine is delivering a higher amount of Oxygenated Blood back to my body, when I am laying down.

That is something most people do not understand. When you sleep the way nature intended, your breathing helps put Oxygen back into your Blood. When you have Sleep Apnea, you continually stop breathing, meaning less enriched Blood. The longer that happens, the greater the risk of you having a Heart Attack or Stroke.

Another thing that most do not realize, is Sleep Apnea is Hereditary. Though it was not known when I was growing up, my Father snored so badly that when cousins stayed over for the weekends, they went home sleep deprived, and we slept on the Second Floor while he slept on the First.

My late Friend and Best Man snored so loud, that he was shocked when everyone from a Tent Camping trip applauded him the next morning when he got up. In the next breathe, they told him that he could not spend another night at camp, because nobody else had slept. His Sleep Apnea, lead to Heart Failure. Not everyone who snores has Sleep Apnea, but if you are feeling worn out, see a Health Care Provider.

I mentioned yesterday that it was an Extra Coffee Day. We learned that by drinking Coffee it acts as an Appetite Suppressant. What I should have said was that it was a Two Cup Day. Considering that many years ago, I drank approximately 320 Ounces of Coffee per day. If I could not sleep, I would have another Coffee and slept like a rock. Now, I avoid having more than Two Cups a day.

After a lite breakfast, we were out the door by 1:30. The Northwest Wind made the 16 F (-9 C) feel even colder. The only blessing was the clear blue Sunny skies. It made everything else feel better.

After collecting our Mail at Guardian Storage, we headed over to Harvey’s to have a late lunch. Kathy had a Chicken Wrap while I had a Cheeseburger.

The blue skies encouraged us to stay out a little longer, so we stopped at the Dollarama closest to our home. There were a number of food stocks that we had not gotten earlier this week, so this was a good excuse to leave those four walls behind for a while.

It was close to 8:00 when we had Macaroni and Cheese for supper, for the second night in a row. We later watched a few episodes of “Forensic Files”.

Not sure what tomorrow holds for us.

Setback and The Freezing Mark.

Just when things were starting to go so well, I took a giant step backwards last night. After reclining in my Chair for only Twenty Minutes, I started the back and forth routine until it was time to start the day. What upsets me the most about that, is I always sleep the best, when there is so little time to do it.

Looking outside, other than all the Clouds, there was nothing falling from the sky. We both felt tired, even though we had just gotten up. Knowing that lunch was not that far off, we settled for our Breakfast Snack before going back to our Computers. It was an extra Coffee day.

The Sun started making slight appearances as it reflected off the White Landscape. Though we were not feeling hungry, it was the perfect time to have Italian Wedding Soup for a late lunch.

With the outside temperature actually reaching the Freezing Mark later in the afternoon, by the time we had to turn the lights on inside, there was a lot more pavement visible downstairs.

We waited until the Weather Guesser on the “6 o’clock Local News” showed we could expect another visit from the Polar Vortex over the weekend, that we made Macaroni and Cheese for supper. It seems the later suppertime has put a stop to our late night snacks.

We later watched a few episodes of “Law and Order, Special Victims”.

Though it will be colder tomorrow, we will be getting out.

Compliment or Criticism.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I think that I may have stumbled on the answer to getting a better night’s sleep. By taking my Nighttime Medications an Hour or more before I intend to sleep, seems to be giving me a full night’s sleep and I am not walking around the following day in a daze.

We are getting in the habit, that when we are home, we have been starting our days with only a Breakfast Snack with Juice as a way of having a bit of food with our Medications, before taking our Coffees to our Computers so we could get caught up on what is happening in the world around us.

While we were grocery shopping yesterday, we picked up a couple of Ready-Made Salads for when I am too busy to make my Homemade version. We had one today, though Kathy said that it was not the same as the ones that I make. I hope that was a Compliment and not a Criticism.

After starting our day Cloudy and Cold the temperature finally made it to 23 F (-5 C) with light Flurries that resembled a Fog setting in. Almost like what California is getting.

How the heck is there so much changing News to keep up with. I personally think that multiple people from different areas of the country, write the same story, but say it is happening in their areas, while just changing the names to protect the innocent.

We waited until the “6 o’clock Local News” was over, before sharing a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza for a late supper. By eating supper later, it has taken away urges to have evening snacks.

We later watched “The Pitt”. It is a very intense program.
