BLIZZARD

The snow finally stopped at 5or 6 PM last night. The little landlord's light blue jeep plow got stuck so our parking lot was barely workable with a small path through 2-3 feet of snow. It was overwhelming. So Joey my neighbor and I had a visit as we shoveled a little.

Bill slipped on the stairs not because of ice but the snow was so packed down it was like a ramp and landed on his wrist, spraining it. (I blame myself because this is usually the shoveling I do to prevent accidents but yesterday we shoveled 3x  during the blizzard to let the dogs pee and and it still happened). 

We are icing his wrist sandwiched between 2 one pound bags of frozen corn wrapped in dish towel for 20 minute sessions every 2 hours and treating him with ibuprofen. He's doing the Napoleon pose with his hand held above his heart tucked into his sweatshirt. He's doing well but no shoveling.

Luckily no school no YMCA due to the travel ban from both MA and RI governors. Thank God because I was trying to call out! All of my neighbors called out of work without a fight with their bosses. I am about to start tackling the cars.

My neighbor Holly surprised me with shoveling out our cars last night! I could cry at the kindness. The sun is out. The dogs are sharing the dog bed!! They are touching!! Life is good.

I have the day to tackle the front stairs (for mailman) side stairs (for oil man) (to cellar just in case) roof of the cars and end of driveway. But I will take my time.

UPDATE: I just finished shoveling. I've never had to shovel my shrubs before! We got 33 inches!

We are lucky to have heat and food and electricity and our health for digging out!
