I just got in from shoveling the rest of my drive. I had hoped all the snow would melt today because it was supposed to be rainy and in the low forties, but when it’s 3pm and everything is the same, you start to get worried that it’s going to freeze up into major ruts that you need dynomite to remove. Plus I heard a rumor we’re going to get a few more inches tonight. So I bundled myself back up and went out to get rid of what was there. Back-breaking work, my friends. It was all slush. For those of you who are smart and live in a non-snow area, this means each shovel full weighed about 40 pounds. I used a push shovel, which is supposed to help but really, I don’t know that it did. I think it just uses different muscles, in the middle of your back (right at the bra strap line for those of you in the know). That doesn’t mean it feels any better. There wasn’t enough to use the snow blower, or so I thought. Next time, I may use it anyway.
Off to write. I’m boiling up some hot water for a winter beverage. I’m not sure what I’m going to go for yet. I’ll have to browse the cabinets.
