Melting...It's melting.....

We were off for 5 days! I have never been off that long before! The snow is melting, which is a good thing, because the parking lot of our apartments never did get properly plowed.

Work has returned to normal, schedules have been adjusted, and make-up plays, concerts and meetings have filled the time.

I have bee staying up and watching the Olympics, so I am tired, but other than that, I feel good. Am making a point to stretch well every day. It is helping that pulling feel where I had surgery.

I was on my feet for several hours at a Church dance Saturday night, and really felt the incision at the end. I went home and took some ibuprophin, and laid down, it helped alot. Other than that, I am bending and stretching like I have not been able to do in a while......makes me wonder how long I had those cysts!

Blizzard

With a brief break, we are once again socked in with a blizzard. It is impossible to tell how much new snow has fallen, because the wind is so high that you can't really tell what is blowing and what is falling. The cars are covered again, so I guess this weekend will be full of digging.

I'm not stir crazy yet, but I just learned that we will be off tomorrow and Friday! Whoa! I am watching too much TV, and not doing enough work. LOL Figures! LOL

Snow, and Car Wars!

Friday the 5th, it dumped 30 inches of snow. Over the weekend my cousin and I have dug out 3 cars. Her Jeep Liberty was first, because tree branches were threatening to fall on it. Becky's CR-V was next, then my Camry yesterday. Parking lot shoveling etiquette dictates that you NEVER throw snow on someone else's car, and you do not block someone else's access to their car. Many in my parking lot do not follow shoveling etiquette.

I throw my snow out into the parking lot, so that the plough can pick it up. The plough has not been by in days.

The first guy that dug himself out was a black Mustang. LOL The WORST car in the snow, ever! These boys came around, and knocked on doors, and offered to shovel people out. The car that was next to the black Mustang paid money to get shoveled out. They did not follow etiquette, and covered the black Mustang in snow from the neighboring car. My cousin and I watched a FURIOUS Mustang owner, throwing all the snow back on the other car! LOL

I got tired, but was pleased to not be as sore as I thought I'd be. the bottom of my stomach feels weirdly numb now, something I have been told is normal.

The bottle and the boots

It snowed Saturday evening, a white blanket of traffic-clogging nonsense, that caused church to be cancelled on Sunday. A true day of rest was most welcome, and I had to do a double take not to set an alarm!

I felt rested, but I think I have pulled something in the groin area while shoveling. I am also slipping very easily. As a result, I am wearing Timberland's as snow boots.

At work today, my boss' boss has asked me not to wear my snow boots to work. The problem with that is, that the floor of the cafeteria is also slick. My Merrill's are useless on slick surfaces.

I am going to break down and get the big, ugly pair of Diabetic shoes that I should be wearing, and that my work cannot say a word about, because I am done being told what I am wearing is wrong, not dress code, etc. I am wearing a boot because I don't want to LAND ON MY ASS, and I don't wear the shoes I used to, because they almost made me lose my toe.

I am tired, but I am ploughing on, and put some money in the postage cash box. Laying beside the cash box, neat as you please, is a beautiful, green bottle of Diet Mountain Dew. I'd forgotten all about it! It was like Ambrosia, the very nectar of the Gods. Drinking it, I am renewed, awake....

....and feisty about my dang boots! LOL This is probably why I have this attitude!
