Daily Notes- February 13th


Snowed all night and it's the heavy wet snow.  Snowman snow.  Riley is enjoying it.  Digging his nose down into the snow--perhaps smelling some small animal burrowed down.  Or a lost toy or favorite stick.  I struggled to do my "part" which is shovel off the porch out front and the steps and then the back deck.   I had to stop and use my rescue inhaler and then bring out a stool to sit on for breaks from lifting the heavy snow filled shovel.  I should have stopped.......but I am stubbornly stupid.  I got it all done.

I have never been a weak person in health or body (weak in the mind for sure).  And now I am.  And I hate it.  I fight against reality.  I always think I can push through.  I can't.  Riley was watchful and alert.  So, I knew he was concerned.  So, I stopped working, rested on the stool I had out on the deck and when I felt able--I came into the house.

I am feeling better.  No chest tightness.  G will have to finish the rest by himself.

I have been having strange dreams this week.  Stories- with interesting characters.  I often want to stay asleep to keep the stories going.  Stories suitable for a Hallmark Movie.  Which is so ridiculous.

The Town plow just went past and G is most likely saying very foul things as he just finished up out front.  Now, he'll have to go back and clear the end of the driveway AGAIN.  Riley had to add his two cents to the  plow going past--lots of barking.  I think it's the beep beep when the truck backs up. Or the flashing lights.  Sets the dog off on a wild bit of barking.  The UPS truck and FedX have the same effect.

Well, I am going to feed Riley his lunch and......well, I have no plan as yet for what I will do after that.  G and I finished off the last of the leftovers in the fridge and that means I will have to decide what to cook for today..........no ideas.

There's handsome Riley! Lovely dog.

I used to enjoy shoveling snow, and I did a long driveway many years ago. How I know that I'm old is, I can't lift many shovelfulls now, maybe one or two and I'm done.

Geeze, I cancelled a Dr appointment for today because we were going to have a big storm, it's a lovely day now, sun shining bright, driveway all cleared from the 7 or 8 inches of snow and I could get out.
