Nighttime Visitors and In The Third Person

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

It seems that our nighttime adventures are starting to vary one night at a time. It can be brought on by my inability to sleep, Pain in my body, or the unseen visitors. I have been made aware that even though they may not be visible to myself or other non-believers, they are very much present to the many with unexpected or exceptional peculiarities.

With Kathy taking her Prescribed Medications before going to Bed last night, she only had one brief moment of unrest before going back to sleep. It was not until I was going to wake her for breakfast, that I found the Air Supply Hose disconnected from her CPAP Machine. It must have happened shortly after I joined her for the night.

We enjoyed our breakfast snack before taking our Coffees to the Computers. There are fewer and fewer RV Bloggers posting on a daily routine, which is understandable because of the work involved. Eventually something has to give, less pictures or weekly to monthly postings. What does increase are the Spammers trying to insert personal advertisements, not just on a single posting but on multiple. Luckily, I have set the Comments to need Moderation if the posting is Two Days old or more. I have caught many attempting to post on Twelve Year Old Blogs. Since I have our Archives on the left Sidebar, it is easy to pick one here or there. I had one Spammer try to add Advertisements over Twelve Postings a few years back. They all met the same fate and once I deem them as Spam, Blogger will automatically places them in the Spam File for review.

It was past 1:00 when I looked at the Clock and deemed it necessary we go to Wendy’s to have Chicken Nuggets for lunch. Paula our favourite server, was away dealing with a sick relative. Most of the customers coming in at that time, were all in our age group.

It was too early to head back home, so I convinced Kathy to get some walking exercise at the Tecumseh Mall. We walked to the southern entrance before walking the westerly wing. When we neared the Food Court, Kathy suggested sharing some Timbits and Cold Drinks. That gave us time to enjoy one of our favourite pass-times, People Watching. There were the different ethnic gatherings and because of summer vacation, parents with their children. Kathy laughed as one brother tried swiping his brother’s share of the Donut, then trying to convince Dad that his brother did not want it.

We were barely home when our daughter Karen called to see how we were doing, and happy we had gotten out.

The “6 o’clock Local News” was nearly over when we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for a late supper.

We were happy our granddaughter Kylla called. She verified when she’ll be taking Kathy over to visit with Norman’s companion Kitty before going out for lunch.

With nothing of interest to watch, we had chance to sit and talk. Some of Kathy’s past being changed completely or she talks about me in the Third Person. It was eerie at first, but I am getting used to it.

Kathy just went to Bed, and I hope to join her soon. The more time we are together, the less visitors we have.

Wanting To Go Home.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I’m not sure what I did yesterday but by the time I was ready to sleep, my Right Shoulder had a Searing Hot Pain that would not let up. I barely spent any time in my Recliner before joining Kathy in Bed but the Pain only seemed to get worse. Back to the table where I took an Extra Strength Tylenol and a Half Teaspoon on ZzzQuil in order to sleep or until the Pain would ease.

I thought it would be a wise idea to try my Recliner for a while longer. Time passed quicker than I thought and I woke at 4:00 to find Kathy standing next to me totally dressed saying she wanted to go Home. Luckily, she does not like to drive in the dark, so I told her that I would take her in the morning but we had to spend the night here. I went with her to the Bedroom where she changed back to her Nightgown and we went to Bed. I woke at 8:05 to find Kathy saying Coffee was ready. It has been a long time since I had anything in my Coffee but it was the thought that counted.

It was at that point that I found the Nighttime Medications that she had not taken last night.

Kathy reminded me that I was taking her Homebut I said I had to cut some Fruit before we went. I started with the Cantaloupe while she sat watching me from the Livingroom. That was when I remembered there were Peaches to peel and cut, a task she was more than happy to do. As soon as I finished the Cantaloupe, I started cleaning a Pineapple we got at Walmart.

By the time that was all put in Containers and in the Fridge, Kathy mentioned getting hungry, so I found a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza that was very skimpy on Pineapple. I just happen to have a container full of freshly sliced Pineapple to add, along with a few shakes of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese it was perfect.

Our daughter Karen called to see how we were doing before heading out to visit Rose.

Luckily, I needed an Epson Salts Foot Bath and so did Kathy. She also enjoyed a Pedicure with hers, where I was lucky to soak my feet.

We barely cleared that up, when I needed to start slicing up a lot of Vegetables to make a Stir-Fry for tonight’s Veggie Wraps. It was not quite ready when our granddaughter called, while on her way home, to check how we were doing. I guess she did not hear our invite for her to come over for Wraps. Kathy handed the last couple of bites of her large Wrap to me, that she could not finish.

Again, Kathy wanted to go Home to sleep and telling her this is home was not cutting it. A small Dish of Strawberry Ice Cream calmed her enough that a “Mystery Movie” started. All through the movie, she kept asking me if I was sleeping here, because I was not telling her what she wanted to her.

When the movie ended, I made certain that she took her Medications before she headed straight to Bed. She has already checked to see if I was still writing the Blog, twice. I better get there soon.

Not sure how to handle returning to the Apartment tomorrow.

Princess Auto, Route 42, Zehr’s and A Mystery.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

I only leaned back in my Recliner for a few minutes before thinking I would be better of going to Bed. I barely remember my head hitting the pillow, before waking Nine Hours later. I didn’t waste too much time checking The Weather Network before starting to serve our breakfast snack. I wasn’t cautiously placing our Juice Glasses in the glass trivets, which meant the clicking sound could be heard under the Comforter that Kathy had pulled over her head to block out the light. By the time I was serving our Coffees on our Petrified Wood Trivets at our Computers, she was sitting at the table.

Kathy said she slept like a rock (that’s more normal) all night. I asked her about going for a ride after having our Coffees. I was still drinking mine, when she came out of the Bedroom, fully dressed, even before sipping on hers. I was coaxed to go get ready faster.

Canadian Readers and longtime Followers will recognize the name Princess Auto, that started a War Surplus Outlet that evolved into a competitor of many Hardware and Auto Supply outlets in Canada. Every Two Weeks they have discounts on lots of products, that vary from Tools, Trailer Parts, Farm/Ranch Supplies and Welding Supplies. None of that is important to me at the time, but a few things that might be useful for my upcoming Surgeries did. As typical the place was packed when we arrived so we went looking in the Surplus Section on our own. The problem with that area is the inconsiderate xxxs turn the shelves upside down. We managed to find the Camouflage Poncho Raincoats, that would easily slip over my head to keep me dry, but it was designed to blend into a Jungle. Scratch that idea. We finally asked an associate about a Battery Powered Shaver I could use while my Shoulder healed. She went directly where we had looked, pushed her hand into a pile of packages and pulled out exactly what we had been looking for. We had looked on he hooks.

It was past noon when we were going to head back to our end of the City when I asked Kathy if she was hungry. I already knew the answer before turning in to Route 42 Diner and Dairy Bar. Route 42, better known as Airport Road to many is having its name changed to Cabana Road East ahead of the construction of a New Hospital. Getting back to the Diner, if you are into Retro Diners, this is the place to go in Windsor. They are open Daily from 8:00 until 3:00 for Breakfast and Lunch. Though we did not visit the Dairy Bar today, they have an excellent choice of Ice Cream too choose from.

Choosing from their Extensive Menu, Kathy had a Grilled Cheese Sandwich along with their Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. I had a Toasted Western Sandwich along with the same soup. The entire time we ate, Kathy enjoyed watching the movie “Kissin Cousins” starring a very young Elvis Presley, who she actually was able to meet when she was very young. For such a simple lunch, we were well satisfied. Even with a Tip, it cost less than some Fast Food Outlets.

As we came out, the first thing Kathy noticed were all the Dark Clouds in the direction of home. That did not stop me from going to the Zehr’s grocery store for a few things I missed yesterday. The clouds had gotten darker by the time we came out. Kathy stayed with me to haul everything in using our Folding Two Wheeled Shopping Cart. I just looked out again and the pavement is still dry.

After getting everything put away we had just sat down, when our son Ken called to see how we were doing.

Lunch filled us up so much we didn’t eat anything until after 6:30 just on time for a “Mystery Movie” came on,

I definitely have my work cut out for tomorrow.
