Snow day

Well, we got the snow. Here in the People’s Republic, it wasn’t bad. (My Southern California brain is agog that I just said that; it was about four inches.) I did indeed spend about 30 minutes shoveling my sidewalk and clearing my car in case I needed to get out of Dodge unexpectedly. And I cleared the sidewalk for a neighbor who is unlikely to be able to do it for herself.

(I suspect that Sunday’s yoga focus on hips and core did not prepare my lower back for this, but it’ll work its way out.)

But mostly I spent the day watching the birds gobble up the safflower seeds I tossed out at them, and drinking hot tea.

Not so bad.

Gratitude Monday: Shelter from the storm

First Gratitude Monday of 2025. First major snow event of 2025. So I’m grateful that I’m snug in my house, with central heating that works, with plenty of food available and a heated mattress pad.

Even though I still have to shovel the sidewalk in front of it, I can come back inside and drink hot tea after I’m done.
