Winter wintened as hard as it could
Oct. 22nd, 2024 10:01 pmWe've had a big winter storm sweep through - big even by our standards. Heavy snow Sunday night turned to rain on Monday, rained all day Monday then turned back to snow that night and then there was wind.
School and university classes were cancelled yesterday and today, so O's been working from home, which honestly has been really nice, I appreciate having him around all day and it was reassuring that he didn't have to go out in the wretched weather. Also, this means he's been available to plow - we have a half mile driveway and I'm not great with the plow truck. Especially since, over the course of yesterday, the ground cover turned from wet heavy snow to a foot of slush. Needless to say, the roads are TERRIBLE.
I've been shoveling, and shoveling, and then shoveling some more, trying to get things at least reasonably well shoveled out for the inevitable re-freezing. Since it was also raining at the same time I was wading around in and attempting to shovel very wet, heavy snow and ankle-deep slush, I spent a lot of yesterday absolutely sodden.
Everything hurts today. I did some more shoveling anyway, including a walk up to the highway again to clean up after the next round of plowing.

Weight loss
I lost 2 lbs yesterday. Probably mostly water weight, but dang.Everything hurts today. I did some more shoveling anyway, including a walk up to the highway again to clean up after the next round of plowing.
