I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE SNOW...

There was once a time that all this snow would have caused great excitement and waxing of skiis, but now.... Every morning this week I have woken up to copious amounts of snow... all of which needs to be shovelled,sweeped or done away with in some manner. This is taking it's toll on me... Really I'm just sick of it. I can't take the dog for a walk because I have to dig my way out of my apartment and then dig out my car in the mornings then when I get home I have to dig my way back in. Of course this leads to less walks for the dog because I'm laid up on the couch after all is said and done (at least I'm getting some knitting done). I would have been completely impressed yesterday at the efficentcy of the city to actually plow our street in a timely manner (the first time ever). However, that means that the spot were I put my car, which I had dug out first thing that morning, was plowed in. So I arrived home to find that I had nowhere to park, anywhere on my street(good luck getting a spot after 4 pm let alone in the winter), so I had to park a good 4 blocks away. Good thing I had taken my cane with me in the car that morning because that walk could have been pretty crappy without it. So in the end I shovelled out the spot just enough to fit my car in, well sort of. I'm a horrible sick person... I asked M and A if they could give me a hand but they had been busy so I didn't hear from them, so out I go to do it myself... No one tell my Dr. 'cause I'll get in trouble. I really hate the fact that I have to ask for help for things that I used to be able to do without so much as a second thought. So if I start complaining about how much my back or hip hurts today... just remind me that it's my own f'ing fault. It probably would have hurt less if I had left the car where I had parked in the first place and just walked over there this morning. Ah well what can a girl do.

OK, now I feel awful - we were going to stop by today and shovel you out though. Still want a visit? We could hit the PARK if you want.

Don't feel awful... shit happens...visit would be nice and there is still more snow... I kinda just made barely enough room for the car... anyway hopefully they haven't been efficent today too.

OK, what time are you home from work today? We have a few errands to do, but I could probably come by around 5pm.

3:30 or 4:30 at the latest. I'm hoping 3:30... and hoping that the plow hasn't been by again... Though the is a big snow pile now at the back of the spot so maybe they won't be able to plow in the spot again. I think it just needs to be lengthed abit... coffee would be on me of course and maybe a trip to the PARK...
