Well…okay, I’ve been whining about having to shovel 40 yards of the alley behind my house to be able to get out for a doctor appointment tomorrow morning…probably shouldn’t have since doing the 40 yards and then all of my walks only took an hour or so and it was no strain at all…still going to put the snow shovel and the bag of oil dry in the car when I go out…doing all the snow has me walking a lot and it’s breaking in my new boots really well…very comfy now and they keep my feet toasty even being out there more than an hour…and they have such good traction that I don’t slip at all…pretty cool and I wonder why I didn’t buy a pair years ago…the new gloves kept my hands pretty warm, too, at least as long as it takes to shovel and it’s nice to not have my fingers turn white…so, all in all, I think I’ll just shovel the alley when it snows and let my stress levels go down….still no plowing going on up here so I have to dust off my snow driving skills in the morning….momentum!
