So Many Surprises

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Though I was slightly delayed trying to sleep last night, after Twenty Minutes of staring at the ceiling in my Recliner, I simply headed off to Bed. That really Surprised me since I felt so tired throughout yesterday. I recalled holding hands with Kathy a number of times throughout the night, as it brought back memories of early times in our relationship. The big letdown was when we both started needing to use CPAP Machines. They keep you breathing while you sleep, but they take away the simple things that help to keep Romance alive in a relationship, like holding one another or holding Hands at night.

The next Surprise was when we woke up, still holding Hands after sleeping in. We must have needed it.

We had Cereal for a late breakfast, before having our Coffees at our Computers, of course. There was plenty of reading to do before we got ready to run a few errands as a way of getting out of the Apartment. We shared some chores before leaving, Kathy taking the Trash to the chute, while I headed outside with our Recycle Containers.

The Temperature had risen from -9 F (-23 C) all the way to the Sunny daytime high of 7 F (-14 C) before we left. Kathy took my advice to wait inside the rear entrance while I cleaned the Ice off our windshield. We were Surprised by the fact, that there was only a slight breeze that made the temperature more tolerable than it had been days ago.

Our first stop was Guardian Store to collect our Mail, before going to eat. We stopped at Taco Bell, before Kathy said she wanted to go to Wendy’s. Kathy sat at our usual table while I went to get our food. A young family just ahead of me, were trying to teach their little daughter about behaving when eating out, and the young mother forgot her purse by the refreshment machine. Since I was carrying our tray, I left it at our table before telling them of their mistake. The young father retrieved the purse quite quickly.

That was not a Surprise but a Shock, but for it being 2:00 in the afternoon, we were Surprised that the place was continually full at that hour in the afternoon.

We swung by the recently refitted Dollarama to check for a few things. Occasionally that outlet carries the Vicks brand Cough Drops. I recall taking them when I was a child, they contain less Sugar than other brands, they work well and they Cost Less. Surprisingly, I found the Lemon flavoured almost immediately for Kathy, but not the Cherry flavoured ones that I prefer, until we reached the cashier’s counter.

Having walked the entire store, Kathy Surprisingly was eager for me to drop her off at the front entrance to our building.

We were back on our Computers shortly after getting back home. That late lunch totally satisfied us, until nearly 7:30 when we were Surprised that we had not eaten supper yet, which is also when we take our nighttime Medications. We shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza, while watching a few episodes of “Forensic Files”.

Not sure what we will be up to tomorrow, since the forecast is calling for 4” to 6” of Landscape Whitening.
