I rolled over several times this morning after the Clockindicated it was time to get up on a working day. It just seemed a lot of the Achesand Painswere disappearing the longer I lay there. When I finally thought it was time to start my day I’d barely taken care of business when I heard Kathy moving around. It was only Four Minutesbefore she realized my absence.

While she started her morning chores I stuck my hands into the Fridgeto find it as warm as the kitchen itself. The building we live in was recently sold and the Tenantswere just notified the day it happened. Finding the notice we were given I changed the Contact Numberson my phone before calling. It was only 8:45 when I spoke to Lorrie and by 9:10 Mike was at our door with another Fridge. Unfortunately that Fridge would not fit into the cupboard opening so he said he’d be back. By 9:30 he was back with the proper sized fridge even though the Hingeshave to be switched it is working perfect. Getting the Fridgeworking was an emergency but the Hingeswill wait for the Regular Maintenanceperson during the week.

I was past 11:00 by the time we finally sat at our Computersto see what was happening in the world. It was by going On-Linethat I could not see the Pay ChequeI deposited on Friday. Guess I’ll be stopping after work on Monday.By 1:00 we were enjoying Italian Wedding Soupfor lunch along with some Cantaloupeand a Rice Crispy Squarefor dessert.

Having just gone through what we had in the Fridgeand Freezerwe knew we were well stocked. Surprisingly we lost very little food-wisewhich means it had probably stopped only an Houror Twobefore it was discovered.

By 2:30 we were out the door enjoying the moderate temperature of 30 F(-1 C). Our first destination was Dollaramawhere we stocked up on a few necessities. I also picked up a pair of Pliersto bring to work to protect my higher priced ones when I’m welding. I was surprised to find them better made then some of the higher priced ones and well insulated for working around Electricity.

After parking near the grocery store Kathy wanted to go through the Dollar Tree. It’s been well over a year since we were there and since we didn’t have many groceries to get we had time. We found a few things like Mintsand Shoe Lacesthat followed us home. With allstores struggling with the Coronavirus Restrictionsit was noted that their prices have increased as well. In the USthe prices at Dollar Treewent from a Dollarto a Dollar and a Quarter. In Canada the prices at Dollar Treewent from a Dollar and a Quarterto a Dollar and a Half.

Outside the Zehr’sgrocery store the parking lot was full but inside it was not hard to Social Distancewith other customers. Prices have also gone up so people are watching for the Sales. As we were walking the aisles we met our granddaughter Ashley. Since returning from her teaching job in Spainshe has been working from home doing Customer Service so her Social Bubbleis very small keeping her safe.

It was nearly 5:00 when we went to Wendy’s Drive-Thrufor our usual meal choice. Figuring that we’d be starving after putting our purchases away in the Apartmentit was better to feed our appetites before going home.

Wondering if my Deep Socketshad arrived yet we topped at Canadian Tire. Kathy stayed in the Carwhile I went in to the Service Desk. They confirmed that the Socketshad not arrived at their location but there were Six Setsat theirWalker Roadlocation.

The 6 o’clock Local Newsagain reported New Coronavirus Casesfor the Provinceof Ontariobut not for Windsor/Essex Region.

The Weather Networkshows that we’ll seehigh temperature of30 F (-1 C) for the next few days but continue to forecasta big Snow Stormhitting Southern Ontariobut notour area.. The OttawaRegioncould see as much as a Foot and a Halfof theWhite Stuffby morning.

Even though we already knew it was confirmed this evening that both our granddaughter Kylla and daughter Karen tested positive for the Coronavirus. Because Kylla is working at the Local Hospitalshe probably brought it home to her mother who has been working from home. They hadboth been fully Vaccinatedand have since recovered fully but are doubling their efforts of staying safe.
