My Vacation Time in Ajax, Ont. in July 2016--Tues.July 26 and Wed.July 27, 2016

Dave is supposed to call me to go back with him to the house because I still have stuff of my own to clear out and put into storage and I have cleaning that has to be done downstairs.  (God knows when we’ll be able to do that though; Kyle has to be moved out completely first.)  In the meantime, I have to remove all the curtains from the windows, remove the big painting in the living room, the boxes of food on the floor, and sundry items in Dave’s old room and the living room.  Also, Dave has to check the shed out back for any stuff that is his.

I ended up taking a taxi over to the house, instead of getting a ride with Dave, and started cleaning the floors and bathroom upstairs, first sweeping the floors, picking up garbage and other items, and then washing the floors.  Other than a light re-sweep or re-wash, the bedrooms, den, and bathroom are all done now.  Afterwards, I was so hot and tired that all I wanted to do was to take a shower and relax for the rest of the day.

On Tuesday, when I got back home (to Homewood Suites), I watched my only DVD movie of the day “Some Kind of Wonderful” twice in the same day.  Tuesday night, I woke up super early again and watched “Forensic Files” on HLN TV, followed by “Morning Express (with Robin Meade)” at about 7:00 am.  I had problems sleeping because my sinuses were plugged and I had an ongoing headache because my neck was bothering me.  After breakfast, while waiting for Dave to call me, I started watching my first DVD movie of the day “The Cutting Edge:  Chasing the Dream”, but I didn’t get a chance to finish it, so I plan to watch the whole thing again later on.

I met Cora-Lee today around 3:00 pm.  She is a maid who works for Homewood Suites.  She came into my room to clean it and to see if I needed anything.   She and I seem to have a lot in common and we talked for about an hour!  She is a really nice person and I’m glad I met her.  I hope that we will see each other again and maybe keep in touch in the future.

I did not sleep well on Wednesday night because my neck was sore again, but at least my sinuses weren’t bothering me this time.

Today, we have to put out all the garbage to be picked up and put out all the recyclables in the recycling bins because it’s now Wednesday.  (As it turns out, the garbage guys did not pick up any of the recyclables, which means we have to take them to the dump ourselves – go figure!).  There are only 2 days left to get all the moving done and the cleaning completed before the new owners take possession on Thursday afternoon.
