Heavy, Wet, and Awful

I just came back inside after shoveling the driveway. Today’s snow storm left us with one of the worst piles of frozen shit I’ve ever encountered. It snowed a ton, then warmed up, partially melted, then started freezing again. The end result is each shovel full felt like it weighed 50 pounds. My back is killing me. My shoulders are killing me. My arms are killing me. My legs are killing me. I was only outside for an hour but it royally kicked my ass.

The forecast for tomorrow afternoon calls for partly sunny with temps in the low 40’s.

Figures.

Part of me wants to thumb my nose at the universe by buying an overdrive pedal. Or a film camera and a lens. Something like that.

No Snow… Yet

When I checked the weather this morning it called for a foot of snow starting this evening and running all the way through to tomorrow night.

It’s 11:32pm now and there still is no snow. The forecast is now calling for about six inches starting early tomorrow morning.

Here’s hoping the forecast continues to be wrong and we get an early spring instead.

Fingers crossed.

Bad Night

Another migraine. What the hell, brain? Twice in one week?

It hit me at about 4:00pm. I hung in there until 5:30 when the work day ended and the. Locked myself in the dark bedroom with my head under the blankets. The headache was crushing and darkness is the only relief. I fell asleep for a few hours and feel a little better now, though not 100% at all.

Lily has decided to lay between my legs and keep me company, though I have to get up for a minute and she is refusing to move.

Unrelated, I took this next picture this morning. I was about to make the bed and I found Lily hiding under the covers. Cute factor 10, captain.
