Well…after shoveling a ton of snow the past two days, I hurt everywhere and there is more falling right now that I will have to shovel tomorrow…so there will be ibuprofen tonight along with the voltaren for my thumb that got beat up from using the shovel…I do like the new boots and keeping my feet dry and warm and still don’t know why I haven’t bought any before now…hmmmm…it is Michigan after all and we do get snow…the birds were much quicker finding the feeder this year at only 2 days when last year it was two weeks and I wonder if it’s all of the snow that is covering their normal food sources? I do know I’ve had chickadees, juncoes, blue jays, and lots of doves so far so that is cool…got the big, 10 pound ham cooked on the grill today and that is going to feed me for at least a week and then go into some ham soup but I need to make turkey soup first this weekend…man, getting up at 5 every day is wearing me out and I didn’t have time to take a nap this aft…maybe tomorrow…it looks like I’m going to have to shovel from my driveway out to 7th street since they don’t seem to be plowing anywhere up here anymore…still might not be able to get out of here Monday if they don’t do the streets…crap, that’s one thing I’m tired of…in GR, all of the streets would be cleared by now…okay…that’s enough for now…want to read a bit before the Lions play later tonight…
