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.

Running Errands and That Sucked.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Click on the pictures to enlarge.

After verifying that yesterday’s Blog had published, I set about to get some sleep in my Recliner, but after staring at the ceiling just like on Monday Night, I headed to Bed. Unfortunately, just like Monday Night after doing the same thing in Bed it was back to the Recliner, where the effort had the same effect. Just like Monday Night, I took a recommended dosage of ZzzQuil sleep aide in an effort to get some rest. Just like Monday Night I went straight to Bed where I managed to get just over an Hour of sleep.

Though I was up only a few minutes before Kathy, we were having Cereal for breakfast, Fifteen Minutes after I got out of Bed.

We enjoyed our Coffees at our Computers, where I stared at the screen with blurred vision, reading the freshly posted Weather Reports, Blogs, News and Correspondents.

Holding off a bit after 1:00, we had Split-Pea with Ham Soup for lunch, then got ready to leave.

The Weather Network had reported Southwest Winds gusting to 30 MPH (50 KLH) but combined with the 33 F (0.6 C) temperatures it felt much cooler. When Kathy sat in the Car, she regretted not letting me pick her up at the door and needed to catch her breathe.

Since Spring does not officially start until Friday, we were surprised to see signs already being erected, notifying us of the start of Construction Season and they were not on Roads that were in dire need of repair.

We arrived at Fantastic Sam’s with time to spare, but looking inside the window, were surprised to see how crowded it was. Two by Two women were leaving with one or more children that had just gotten rid of their Shaggy Dog looks. It was not until we talked to Julia, that we were reminded that this is Winter Break for students. She worked her magic and we were on our way in no time at all.

With Plans to eat out, we drove down to the Hi-Ho on Howard only to find that they closed at 3:00 in the afternoon. Ever since Covid hit, their timing has left a lot to be desired. That left only one thing to do, we drove to the Michigan Diner on the east end of Windsor. Sitting in a Restaurant environment instead of Fast Food Outlets adds a sense of relaxation to the experience.

I have mentioned before that we do not always shop using a List. That means that things get missed, but that gives us an excuse to run errands, getting us out of our Apartment more often. Other times a store does not have what we wanted, so we either wait for it to come in, or we go to a different outlet. Combine all that together, meant that today we stopped at the Dollarama nearest our home. Something as simple as Breakfast Juice and Snack Bars, found their way home with us.

Kathy, again insisted that she help carry some of our purchases. As soon as we were in the Apartment, it was time to watch the “6 o’clock Local News”.

As soon as it was over, I started setting up to write today’s Blog. I had already cleared my Document Template, when I needed to reference something on Yesterday’s Blog. (Where the Hxxx did it go?) I verified it went live before shutting down last night, but only looked at our Sidebar this morning. Then without verifying it this evening, deleted what would have been posted. I recall more Telemarketing calls, Wind and St. Patrick’s Day but other things will be lost forever. With other Computer Glitches happening more often lately, I will need to be more mindful of things in the future.

Kathy watched an episode of “Mayday” before going to Bed early. Don’t forget, when I don’t sleep well, she does not sleep well. The moment I go to Bed, she automatically pats me down before going into a deeper sleep herself.

More errands to run tomorrow, with slightly warmer temperatures.

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!

It’s about time.
