A relaxing day and preview of our new furniture

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
       Happy Tuesday ! Are we excited? Yupper we sure are, more relaxed but the excitement kept us from getting a real good nights sleep. Hopefully better to night. Off and on finally back to sleep from 4:30 until 8 am after tossing and turning from 12 till 4:30.
        Got some OJ, Ensure and coffee into me , our family Doc called and wanted me to stop my Blood pressure meds and take potassium . Today is a do nothing day, much needed. For tomorrow the Stratford Hospital for 7:30 am to get my liver Biopsy done. So she ran into the pharmacy to grab that, back home made some phone calls for lability and contents insurance. Plus Ontario Hydro (our electricity here in Ontario).
        By noon the sunshine came out and sure felt nice. Sunshine makes everything feel much better.
         Suzie gave me permission now that we are confirmed for the apartment  to post some photos mostly of the furniture we purchased to get us started, just like a newly married young couple. Yup that be us for sure.
our apartment Patio on the ground floor centre
this is our floor plan
     We picked out the furniture we need to get started in our New apartment they will deliver Nov. 7th. What a wonderful friendly, family operation, word of mouth is their their only means of advertising and they do a very good business and after checking their prices we found them better than the big box furniture stores.
it looks small
very large 2 full floors
      We choose the suite with white kitchen cupboards as opposed to the dark walnut  and the light coloyred solid vinyl plank flooring, below the white cupboards.
cup board doors and floor below
     Then at Francis furniture we picked out enough to get comfortable once we move in. The rest will fall in place eventually.
comfortable queen box spring and Mattress
our bed
2 night tables
bedroom dresser mirror all on sale
2 Lazy boy rocker recliners
2 end tables for beside the recliners
       We have a nice maple kitchen table with 4 chairs (wedding gift from Suzi'e's parents plus Suzie's cedar chest is stored at Suzie's girl friend Chris's place and some winter clothes in a friends closet.
       Such a beautiful sunny day about 60 F but with the wind gusts to 30 mph we could find no place to sit outside in the sun and out of the wind, Oh well and least we can enjoy from inside looking out our windows and sunny coming in feel good anyway.
beautiful sunny day outside our front window
      Shortly after 4:30 time to whip up a bite to eat for supper tonight some more of that chicken with smashed potatoes and some tiny tomatoes
Suzie ate this tonight did not sit well will me last night
my portion I took the skin off the chicken should be better
could not finish it all though
      That was a relaxing day for us today, restless but still no energy I did have 2 ensure today though one for breakfast and one for lunch.
      Anyway that was our day resting up for my biopsy at the Stratford Hospital at 7:30am tomorrow.
      Hope you had a good day and thanks for dropping in by.

       

      This afternoon got a few pictures from Jeff Pierce a Blogger friend (Ruffin with Rufus) we met in person last year at Borego Springs California.
love that area there at Borego Springs CA
this be right about where we usually park
wish we were there too, love the pictures though

  1. Don't forget there is a lot of good tax free used stuff available on kijiji. We would not buy anything new if we were setting up an apartment, but that's just us. Hate giving money to the government for nothing. They don't tend to spend it very wisely.

    1. That was our plan Kevin but ran out of time and right now, too much pain and I can barely walk. I hate the tax as well.

  4. OK. Another thing tomorrow. You've gotten a lot done so far, sounds like all ducks are in a row. I do hope you can feel more comfortable in coming days....some good sleep once in a while would be at the top of my list. You're quite a guy to keep posting in spite of all.

    That recliner looks comfy and inviting. The rest of the furniture looks really nice. Sounds like it is sort of fun to be furnishing an apartment, I liked your description, just like newlyweds. Nice to be able to support a family home town store instead of a big box one.Take care.

  16. By now, the biopsy has happened. Hope the best for you both. I truly like your attitude, George. That in itself is a blessing. I am about to try this hemp oil for my aches and pains and hoping it works wonders as so many are proclaiming here in the States. Stay warm and much rest is a healer. Really nice furniture!
