Day 53

So it warmed up to about zero today, and I had the brilliant idea to go shovel the driveway out of the polar blanket that had accumulated over the past month. What. A. Disaster.

15 minutes in I had managed to shovel a two foot wide path from the road to the garage door. 35 minutes and I had cleared a path from in front of the explorer to the front door. One hour in gave me 2/3 of the driveway.

I went inside after an hour to warm up. My scarf was frozen. My hat was frozen. My gloves were frozen. And I had burned 340 calories.

I went back out after an hour to try and finish. Unfortunately, Anywhere there has been tires is packed down and unwilling to move for me. I am, however, proud to announce that there is no longer a foot of snow in our driveway.... More like three inches of non-budging, severely packed snow that can stay until it decides to melt. I can now get into the garage, take out the trash cans, and dance in the driveway if I desire without sinking to my knees in snow. :)

All I can say about that is ouch. Ouch. Major Owie. My back is already stiff and I have a feeling that my arms will be immobile tomorrow, but at least it is finished... Until we get more snow anyway. *sigh*

I can't wait to talk to you tonight. I look forward to it so much that becomes the highlight of my days. I love you, babe, and can't wait for you to be here with us. You are my sunshine....

Goodnight. I love you.
