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.

Change Of Weather and Shopping.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

Even though it was another back-and-forth night, my Bedtime won the race by over an Hour. When the room seem to brighten up this morning, it was time to start a new day. A quick look outside showed dry pavement into the neighbourhood behind our building and all the adjoining parking lots. In less than Thirty Minutes when Kathy joined me, all that had changed.

After our breakfast snack, we took our Coffees over to the Computers where we both got caught up on a number of things. Looking at the Radar was my first choice. After finding out that things in our area would be clearing shortly after 1:00, I noticed Streamers of weather coming and going all around us. That was when my curiosity kicked in and the Map was expanded to a global view. It seems that whatever storms the West Coast has, it crosses the Continent, then the Atlantic, hits whatever other Continent it wants, before crossing the Pacific to start the cycle all over again.

It’s actually hard to understand so when the forecasts are not quite accurate, I can see why. A longtime Meteorologist once said, “Years ago it was easier to forecast the weather than today”. He also said, “That it was easy to make a forecast for a week but now, more than Three Days is impossible, even with all the research that continues to be done”.

Since things were looking a bit scarce in the Pantry, Fridge and Freezer, we headed out the door by 1:00 with our first stop being Wendy’s for lunch. It is the most reasonably priced and satisfying place to eat when you don’t feel like cooking.

From there we headed to Shoppers Drug Mart at the Tecumseh Mall, over to Dollarama, then next door to the Zehr’s grocery store. Three Hours and lots of $$$ later we swung by the Health First Pharmacy to pick up all the Prescribed Medications that I called in for renewal yesterday.

Our Two Wheeled Folding Shopping Cart did most of the work, but we both were carrying bags to get all our purchases up to our Apartment. Again we had to open the Balcony Door to cool things down, while we got everything put away.

Back at the Computers, the first thing that I had to work on, was to update our Medication Spreadsheet. It is now ready for me to change the numbers again on the weekend.

The Weather Guesser on the “6 o’clock Local News” explained that due to changes in the Jet-Stream, we would not be reaching today’s forecasted high, until closer to Midnight.

Once the News was over, we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Hawaiian Pizza with the leftover Pineapple from the Fridge.

We watched “Law and Order, Special Victims Unit” and “The Pitt” this evening. Both nail biters.

Kathy is already in Bed and I am hoping to get this posted, before my Computer acts up again.

B54e Safe and Enjoy!
