Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
I’m sure that you’re probably getting tired of hearing how I’m
getting up early in an effort to change my sleeping habits. The reason is that
the last couple of years we have spent hours crossing the international border
into the U.S.A. because we left in the early morning. After Kathy and I discussed
that we decided that we’ll try leaving at night this year and simply drive to
the first or second Flying J before stopping for the night. Since we’ll also be
getting up early in the morning on the day of our departure I need to become
used to longer hours awake for that day.
This morning I simply woke from an undisturbed sleep shortly
after 5:00 and felt totally refreshed. I missed my exercise routine yesterday
so I suited up, closed the doors and started working out for the next two
hours. I even had a chance to shower before hearing Kathy starting to stir in
the bedroom.
We had a lighter than normal breakfast while we watched the
Weather Channel give us their forecast of the weather for the next few days as
well as this winter. Even though we’ll be heading to Florida in 8 more days
chances are great that the cold temperatures will follow us south.
We spent time at the computers before heading out at 10:30
to go get our last haircuts before we leave. We always have such a hard time
getting decent haircuts in Florida. Our hairstylist Jenna offered to hide in the
back of our trailer so that we wouldn’t have that problem LOL.
Stopping at Shoppers Drug Mart on the way home we found out
that they still had not resolved the problem with the prescription for
Antibiotics for Kathy yet. The Pharmacist on duty today immediately called the
Doctor’s office to discuss the problem personally. By the time he got it
cleared he said it would be another half hour before it would be ready so I said
that I’d return when they called our apartment. We stopped at Metro grocery
store to gather a few food stocks that will help us float closer to our
departure.
While Kathy was getting lunch ready I went downstairs to
collect our mail and to talk to Dan the manager. I gave him a small plastic
basket with our name and the key to our mailbox. While we are gone he will pick
up our mail for us at no charge.
After lunch the Drug Store called saying the prescription
was ready so I went to get it. When I returned Kathy was on the phone talking
to Vera who informed her that Bill’s brother Alex had passed shortly after
midnight this morning. It was only a short time ago that he had been diagnosed
with stage 4 lung cancer.
After hanging up we talked for a while before Kathy had me
pull the fridge and stove forward so she could clean behind them. She likes to
do this a few times each year in an attempt to keep the dust problem down.
I dismantled the Weber Q from its stand and cleaned it up
before bring it down to the truck. It will be travelling with us as there is no
better way to grill any meal than on the Weber.
We have more to do to get ready tomorrow so we’ll let you
know how that goes. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a
comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
