Smile Cookies, Mall Walking and Tax Freeze.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

How often does that happen? Though I moved between the Recliner and Bed multiple times through the night, when I checked the timers on both CPAP Machines this morning there was only a Ten-Minute difference between the two. Since I got out of Bed the last time, before getting things ready for breakfast, it was no surprise that Kathy practically followed me to the Livingroom. She said that she had a good night’s sleep, just like me.

Outside, it was still Raining, and the temperature was barely 50 F (10 C) so we were in no hurry to go for our walk. Our breakfast snack lasted long enough for us to do our E-Reading. It was still drizzling when we had Salmon Sandwiches for lunch. It wasn’t until nearly 2:00 when I noticed the pavement starting to dry and the Sun starting to shine, but the damage was done.

Kathy used the excuse that the 35 MPH (56 KLH) Wind Gusts would be too much for walking outside. She also managed to lose her small purse that she has worn for walking lately. She also said that she never had a purse like that. ????

I talked her into walking the Mall but first we stopped at Tim Horton’s to buy Smile Cookies. 100% of the of the proceeds this week, will go to supporting local Charities. We each had on before leaving the parking lot.

When we finally arrived at the Tecumseh Mall, we parked close to the Food Court. That gave us the chance to walk along the stores on one side of the Concourse, before eventually returning to look on the other side. I have tried many times to help Kathy buy some new clothes but like the walk, she always comes up with an excuse as to why she can’t. After she looked in a few stores with no results, I thought I would take her mind off the issue.

When we first moved into this Apartment, our Phones were cheaper as was our Internet and Television, that have more than Doubled in Price. Unfortunately, prices have really increased so the first thing we did was to switch our Phones from Bell to Freedom Mobile. We can now travel around the world using the same Phones with no Roaming Fees for less than Half the cost. We stopped to ask what they had to help us out with our Television and Internet. What they have is 25% of what we are presently paying, but it will increase by $20.00 after the first year, but never again. Unfortunately, it is not Mobile but uses the same Cable Connections we presently use. With limited time today, we’ll go back next week.

We kept on walking the Mall and finally arrived at a Clothing Store that has changed names at least Six times since we have been shopping here. Donna helped Kathy with suggestions along with Colour adjustments. Another thing that our Governments have done to stimulate the economy has put a freeze on Taxes for Clothing. That helped Kathy change her mind on her New Outfit. Too bad the Government, does not freeze the Taxes on Food.

With it being after 5:00 we drove over to Wendy’s to have Chicken Nuggets for supper, just like yesterday.

Kathy’s legs were bothering her from not walking as much today, (Quarter Mile) and asked that I drop her off at the front entrance. Though I brought up her Clothing purchase and she immediately placed it in the Bedroom. She has repeatedly asked me throughout the night if we brought it in.

After watching the “6 o’clock Local News”, we also watched “Will Trent”, “R. J. Decker” and “High Potential”.

With tomorrow being a Special Day, Kathy has already gone to Bed. Once I have published our Blog, I will start the night in my Recliner and join her shortly after.

Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment, unless it personally attacks someone for their opinion, or is Spam.

It’s about time.
