I managed to sleep past 8:00 this morning which under the circumstances of being isolated with a lack of activity nor having many outside interests that we can indulge ourselves would be understandable to most. Unfortunately I think the guilt comes from my Fatherinsisting there was work to do outside at early hours of the day even on his day off. Later on that would lead me to a career that involved working long hours, seven days a week for months on end.

Even with her need for more sleep then most it wasn’t long when Kathy sensed my absence that shewas joining me for breakfast long before it was ready. With a clear sky and not a single Water Puddle left from yesterday’s storms it looked encouraging as a day to get things done. Putting my hand by the Balcony Doorwas an easy way to tell just how warm things were getting outside. We had survived the night without the ACbut it was starting to warm up a bit so as soon as we’d eaten I restarted the Unit.

After checking out what was happening On-Line and dealing with another Scammeron my Cell Phonewe soon started getting things ready for lunch. Wanting something a little different I started making Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwichesgarnished with Dill Pickles. Kathy made our dessert plate using the last Yogurt Cups, the last of the Grapesand the last of our Oatmeal Cookiesbesides sharing an Orange. That helped clean out things in the Fridgeas well as telling us what we needed to restock.

We let lunch settle as we finished our Teawhile making a Grocery List of things we’ll need. Just before 1:00 with our Maskson we were heading for the elevators. The minute we opened the Back Doorit felt like we were in front of a Blast Furnace. It wasn’t as Hotas last week but the Southeast Wind was blowing directly in our faces and with the clear sky you felt the intensity of the Sun.

We checked our Mailat Guardian Storageearlier this week and there wasn’t anything there. Today it was packed. Kathy was amazed at the Handfulthat I returned with.

Heading back on Jefferson Blvd we stopped at Al’s Air Conditioning. I explained what was happening with our Sleeve Type Air Conditionerand he seemed baffled. When I explained how I put a Screenon the outside to stop the Pollenfrom getting in he said that was part of the problem. The Screentends to reflect the Heatfromthe Cooling Coilsback into the Air Conditioner. By recirculating the Hot Airmakes the ACoverwork. He recommended removing the Screenand if there are any more problems to give him a call.

Next we went to Dollaramato pick up a few items from our Listat cheaper prices then those at the grocery store as well as getting some walking in. We were surprised that there was no ~~Line~~of people Social Distancingoutside and everyone inside were wearing their Masks. With this being only the middle of July we were a little surprise to see most of the Gardening Aislecleared out and decorations for Thanksgivingalready being displayed.

Our next stop was the Bulk Barnwhere we found more items from our Listat cheaper prices then those at the grocery store.

When we walked out from there Kathy walked into the Zehr’sgrocery store while I put those purchases in the Car. Those stores are neighbours. Again everyone was wearing Masks inside and it took Thirty Minutesto get everything else on our List. We would then spend Twenty Minutesin line to get to the Cashiersand Ten Minutes for the new Cashierto look up all the Codesfor the Vegetableswe bought.

We managed to get back to the Apartment by 4:30. We filled one of the larger Shopping Cartsdownstairs to bring everything up. It was past 5:00 by the time most of the groceries were put away. While in the grocery store Kathy spotted the Frozen Chinese Food we tried before and really enjoyed it so she thought that would be perfect for tonight’s supper and she was right. It didn’t take long at all and we were enjoying our meal along with a glass of Carbonated Juice(Fake Wine) and a piece of Pumpkin Piefor dessert. The best part is there is enough for another meal like that.

On the 6 o’clock Local Newsthey talked about the High Temperaturesthrough the weekend as well as the Coronavirus. It seems there are a number of Labs around the worldthat are already starting to test Vaccineseven in Canada. There is however reports that many of those Labsare facing attempts by Russian Hackers to steal that information. Another Labhas developed a Maskthat has a coating which actually kills the Virus. They will become available to Front-line Respondersfirst. The positive news was that Canadian Casesare going down even as we slowly start to reopen because of people wearing Masksand Social Distancing. The also mentioned the numbers are againSkyrocketingin the US.

We turned to a US News Stationthat showed people being attacked for wearing Masksby others that thought they were infringing on their rights by doing so. There have been more reports ofCovid Partiesgoing on where everyone pays an Entry Feeand the first to come down with the Viruswins the prize. Most of those parties have resulted in everyone getting sick along with a few deaths. There were a number of Doctorswho pleaded to anyone watching that the Coronavirusis real, has no political alliances and if it does not kill you will leave lasting Health Issues. There is also a high number of First Respondersthat are coming down with PTSwhile seeing the high Fatality Rateof people with the Virus.

This is definitely something most of us never thought we would ever see in our lifetimes and it is making people do things that are unimaginable. If you choose not to protect yourselves it will be only your fault if you contract it but please don’t stop someone for being cautious. Many experts have said in the past that Maskswill only stop you from spreading any germs you may have and not protect you from catching it. I Disagree!Having had to wear Dust Masksand Respirators throughout my career I can say that many times a simple Dust Maskkept me from being sick.
