Day 2-75 -- Time to ignore the world outside the window

Is it too late to just hide away until the weather becomes more spring into summerish? The snow outside is ridiculously huge. There were more white-out periods this afternoon bringing even more to shovel. I spent an hour to make a 75 foot path the width of a shovel -- about 18". The plough came and did move snow onto the front lawn from where the street plough had piled it chest deep by the side of the road. I'm expecting to hear heavy equipment overnight soon as they try to widen the road ways and re-establish parking lanes on the main streets.

I know that snow happens like this in the northern Atlantic. I am just so weary of it all. Most people I encountered today were upbeat, but still felt challenged by even more snow. Roofers were to arrive today to use cables to melt some of the roof and eaves trough ice. Needless to say, the weather did not allow this to occur. The water coming into the ceiling and dripping through the ceiling fans in the bathroom and kitchen were particularly challenging this weekend. Saturday saw at least one drip per second in the bathroom. Luckily this is positioned over the toilet so most of the water fell directly into the bowl. However, this meant using the device for its intended purpose was  not without its down side.  On Sunday the dripping moved to the kitchen fan on the other side of the wall from the bathroom. This involved cold water dripping down my neck as I stood at the stove to cook.  Both situations are a bit startling <grin>.

Today's selection was one I'd heard a while back. It just so fit my feeling this morning. I kept checking the web page to see if campus was closed so I didn't have to go outside <sigh>.  I was the one breaking the trail at 7:30 AM -- usually I have someone else's foot prints to follow. Anyway -- the song has fun lyrics that describe my mood today and likely for several days to come <smile>. Enjoy!
