Oh For Shit's Sake
It's snowing again.
Snowing!!!
Son of a gun....
I finally got out of my driveway this past Saturday. 2 1/2 days of pluggin' away a little at a time.
See...I'm not the woman I was 10 years ago. I just don't have the strength or the stamina. Plus....that snow is heavy for cryin' out loud.
AND....I'm trying to work while doin' all that. Just because I have a driveway to shovel doesn't mean business stops. So I took my phones out to the sun porch, where I could hear them ring.
I'd shovel a bit....and the phone would ring. I put out that fire and shovel some more. Till my back started hurting or I just flat out got tired.
And I'd go in for a while.
Back out for a little bit more fun in the snow.
And on and on it went.
Oh - and I should probably mention I was only trying to shovel out the part just behind my car. Seriously - my main concern is getting in and out. That's it.
As I said, this went on for 2 1/2 days. Finally Saturday, late morning - day light. I made it through the crap at the end of the drive. Now, only about 2' across, but I got through. WooHoo. That left a 2' line across the rest of 1/2 of the drive. The end was in sight.
I had to take a bit of a break and as I was coming back outside I heard this strange noise. As I glanced out the kitchen window I see snow flying everywhere. So I run out the door.
There was one of my neighbors with the mother of all snowblowers finishing up the last of that bit across the drive.
The Angels Sang!!!
As I thank him, and thank him and thank him, he says something that just cracked me up.
"My wife and I have been watching you struggle with this for the past 2 1/2 days and figured you might need some help."
Huh. You think?
But no matter. I can get in and out of my drive now. 1/2 of my drive is clear.
Or it was. Did I mention it's snowing again. Oh yeah and the current temp is 0. That's ZERO.....below freezing. WAY below freezing.
THAT'S gonna make for some fun shoveling this afternoon....don't cha think?!
But yeah. It's snowing. Again.
Dear Lord is is April yet?
