Another Step Closer and More Stockpiling.

It took longer than I Planned to get the Blog published last night, but I was still tipped back in my Recliner by Midnight, 2:00 and 4:50. Yes, it was one of those nights, but I did wake up in Bed shortly after 8:00 this morning. Within minutes Kathy was up even though I had yet to try to wake her.

Last night I had promised to give Kathy a breakfast that she had never had before and I succeeded. Kathy has developed quite the sweet-tooth and when we walk through the Pastry Aisles at Zehr’s or Walmart she zeroes in on Strawberry/Rhubarb Pies. When I was still working she would serve a Quarter Pie to each of us for dessert. When I started serving our meals and desserts, downsizing was what I tried to do, because the inactivity was showing up around my waist. There were objections, but now the pies last twice as long, but in order for none of it to go bad, it still needs to be eaten in a Week. Today’s breakfast was Strawberry Rhubarb Pie a-la Mode.

After noticing the overnight Rain was drying up, I verified what I had found out yesterday, by looking at the Radar myself.

I have been trying to print out my personal Surgical and Medicinal Information sheets for the last couple of weeks, but the Printer is not cooperating. Luckily, I found an older printout that would have to do for today.

While I showered Kathy kept reviewing the same Tornado Reports that she looks at Three Times Daily. No matter what the date is on the report, she insists that it just happened. A Tornado hit parts of LaSalle and Windsor back in 2016 but to her, it just happened hours ago.

It was barely 11:30 when Kathy said she was hungry again, so we shared a Store-Bought Thin-Crust Medium Pizza for lunch. As soon as we had eaten, we were heading out the door.

At 55 F (13 C) with a steady Northwesterly Breeze, we appreciated having our Denim Jackets to stay comfortable. Parking at the Hospital was not hard enough, now Contractors are redirecting the Curbs to make it even harder. After registering at the Admission Desk, we had to trek our way down to the Pre-Op Department, so they could start poking and prodding me for next week’s event. Though I had a list of all my Medications, I was scorned for not having brought the actual Vials and Bottles. I was also told to stop taking any Vitamin Supplements until after the Surgery. ????

It was just past 2:30 when we rolled out of the parking lot. There was still plenty of Construction Detours to keep us guessing and just as we neared our end of the City, Kathy said she wanted lunch. I mentioned we had already had that, but she knew that she had not eaten yet. Stopping at Wendy’s, Kathy decided she wanted something different, but when asked what she wanted, replied “You know what I want”. Luckily, there was a new special on their board that saved the day.

With the unfinished Shopping List from yesterday, we went to the Dollarama closest to home, in order to continue our Stockpiling. Knowing that we could not carry the entire lot at once, we made it in Two separate trips inside the store.

Back home, the Folding Two-Wheeled Shopping-Cart felt like it was heavier than yesterday, even with less items. It was all Liquid and there was no way to carry it by hand.

The Weather Guesser on the “6 o’clock Local News” admitted that there had been far less Rain than he had forecasted. We later watched a few Documentaries on the History Channel.

I already explained to Kathy what I want to accomplish this week. I can only hope that she does not come up with another Plan.

A List and Stockpiling.

Being connected for Eight Hours between Two CPAP Machines is not the same as sleeping for Eight Hours. It was a restless night, with lots of Shoulder Pain, causing me to travel back and forth repeatedly. I was more than tired but like I said before. the Shoulder Surgery cannot get here fast enough. At least once it is over, I may be sore for a short time but it will eventually pass.

I barely had time to open the Balcony Blind and start getting things ready for breakfast, when I heard noise in the Bedroom. It was brighter than when I woke and the bedding was looking totally in place. With everything served, Coffees included, Kathy had to be told to come and eat.

Our Plans for the day included making a Shopping List so nothing would be forgotten. The reason was mentioned before, once the Surgery takes place, I will have to restrain my lifting and Liquids are not light. Simple absent-mindedly lifting that weight could undo any repairs that would be made, so I am trying to build our stockpile while we can.

Every time I turned around, the List was growing, even while I was making lunch. We shared a Bacon/Veggie Omelette. Though I always get the Lion’s Share of that dish, Kathy still passed off what she could not eat. Since it was mostly Vegetables, I did not mind. After allowing some digestion to take place, we cleaned up the Dishes and Kitchen. I surprised myself afterwards that I have dropped Fourteen Pounds and the hardest thing I have done was walking. Over Thirty Years ago the loss was higher but so was the physical exertion. Time will help me to reach my goal.

Since this was Thursday, the first place we stopped was Shoppers Drug Mart, to take advantage of Seniors Discount Day. Unfortunately, the Discount does not apply to products already On Sale. Our total Savings today was only Thirty Dollars, plus we got a Ten-Dollar Discount Card for any future purchases.

Our next stop was back to Canadian Tire. After checking the size of the Collapsible Crate at home, we returned to purchase Two, today. They are sturdier than the one I fell on and taller so the Plastic Bottles they will hold will not be taller than the Crate.

It was just after 4:00, when we stopped at Wendy’s for supper. We have manipulated their Coupons so many times, we don’t have to repeat the order. The longtime employees all know what it is. We still get other customers staring at our Tray while there is hardly anything on theirs.

It was not until we were inside Zehr’s grocery store that I realized I wanted to go to Dollarama first. Looking at the time, we decided that we had made the right call after all. With more people doing their grocery shopping on Thursdays, the shelves were fully stocked with lots of our usual choices at discounted prices.

Back at our building, our Folding Two-Wheeled Shopping-Cart was groaning with its load, and I had left some in the Car. We walked in the Apartment just as the “6 o’clock Local News” was starting. While Kathy watched, I put the Frozen Foods and Dairy Products away, including the Eggs.

I finished just as they were giving a final view of the coming forecast, but I did not believe it. Opening up the Radar on my Computer, it did not take long to know that his forecast covered more than our area.

We had Planned on watching a joint “Law and Order” and “Law and Order, Special Victims Unit” special, but it was preempted by a Baseball Game. Thinking it might end soon, we listened for Twenty Minutes before the announcer finally mentioned that they were only in the Third Inning. Off it went!

With my Pre-Op Appointment tomorrow, we’ll go to Dollarama to finish our stockpiling.
