It’s been many a year since I’ve had to shovel anything…the Michigan Years, Clemo was the HMFIC of snow removal. And frankly, that’s the last time I’ve seen this much snow. I got outside today and unloaded the car, shoveled more of the driveway and chopped the ice into removable bits. Got the walkway and steps and porch cleared too. Those were treacherous last night. I felt badly for my mail carrier today…hadn’t quite got to it yet. We’re supposed to get another 2 inches tomorrow night…egads! so I wanted to take advantage of the time while I could today.
I surveyed the Gazebo damage…it’s a goner. This makes me verra sad…we’ve had some good times under the Gazebo. She’s going to be severely missed…come the spring time when I dismantle her and put her out for Big Trash Day. Sigh. Keep your eye’s out folks, for some crazy bargain Gazebos…it could happen!!! Until the thaw…I’m just leaving everything as it is out there. bleargh.
I decided not to hit the grocery store tonight, will go tomorrow afternoon. I need to get some stuff for New Years Day, purchase a few staples, but other than that, I have pleanty on hand to get thru this cold wintery week.
I’ve enjoyed my day today. I still need to run the Dyson, and unpack my actual suitcase. I’ve got the laundry going and that has posed quite the plumbing issues. My floor drain…isn’t. I did pour boiling water down it to thaw whatever is down there out. That seemed to help, and I started another load so I’m about to go check that out. Crossing fingers. So it’s been an accomplished day, including a catnap and watching The Hangover. I wanted so badly to watch this with my sis and b-i-l this weekend but just ran out of energy and time. it was hysterical…
ok. that’s it. I’m hungry. Time to make the chili-mac.
slurp.
