Yes, it pretty well rained here all day! Great if you are a duck.
This morning I was up and out the door heading to the big City of London, Ontario. Had to be there for 8:30 to have a bunch of vials of blood drawn from my arm to satisfy my Dr.’s for upcoming medical appointments I have…
Turned into a bit of a marathon… you want to be there for 8:30 as you have not eaten or drank anything since 7:00 the evening before… so when I got to the first Lab, they informed me I could not give my blood there after a 40 minute wait, and had to go to another one up the road… made it to lab #2 and after another 40 minute wait, was informed by the Lady that she could not read my name on my OHIP card and refused me service. Well, off I had to go downtown London at this point to the Service Ontario Office and apply for a new Health Card… still have had nothing to eat! This only took an hour, and then it was back to the Lab #2 for another 30 minute wait before someone got blood out of me! Easy! Finished at 11:30 and hand to run to a local restaurant for some food!
It is a nice drive from Woodstock to London along Regional Road #2. It is mostly farm fields that line the road for the 38 klm. drive.
This is leading into Thamesford, a small farming community half way between.
Lots of corn fields along the way… check out the lovely sky…
And to keep everyone’s mind at ease, I stopped driving to take these pictures with our new smart phone… can’t be a distracted driver in Ontario, as it is a $350.00 fine! There is also not a lot of cars on this road…
Wanted to take Cali for a walk today, but it was just not happening with the rain… maybe tomorrow… Judy and I ended up watching the movie “The Abyss” which is a 4 hour marathon, but not a bad movie for being made in 1989.
Robin made a comment on last night’s blog, about whether or not our one axel trailer sways while being pulled. The answer to this is no! This is a great trailer, (6 X 10 ft.) and can hold both our motorcycles. We pull it with the Jeep and the Motorhome with not problems at all.
Till tomorrow…
That does not sound like a fun morning! Glad you finally got taken care of...I bet you were good and hungry!
ReplyDeleteA frustrating morning indeed. I'm familiar with highway 2 from Woodstock to London through Thamesford. Your right in the dairy heartland of Ontario down there in those parts. Lots of farmland.
ReplyDeleteI thought maybe after being turned away from the second clinic you might just walk into the third and slit your wrists!! How 'bout that, folks!!
ReplyDeleteYikes - you must have been hungry by the time you were seen...
ReplyDeleteWe have been to London and spent time at the hospital there. Went there a couple of years ago with our daughter in law Meghan. After treatment we went on to a Korean restaurant in town.
What a day! It takes people to make life easy and it takes people to make life difficult. You had a difficult day. I would have fainted without ingesting any food for that lengthy period.
ReplyDeleteI also have a 6' X 10' Wells Cargo enclosed motorcycle trailer and it doesn't sway when being pulled.
Getting blood drawn NOT a fun start! But glad it all finally got taken care of...
ReplyDeleteHope your weather improves soon!!!
