White crud
Jan. 19th, 2026 08:51 amWe don't have a massive ton that needs shoveled but we are legally obligated to shovel the sidewalk in front of the house and obviously need to shovel the sidewalk that gets TO the house and well, have to shovel the bits of driveway near the cars.
Between Emily's wonky back and knees and my...well everything, we're tired and sore from shoveling weighty snow yesterday and then trying to shave at the thin layer of refrozen stuff and new snow on top that fell late in the afternoon/early evening.
We're waiting on clearing off the cars, though, since it is supposed to get a few degrees warmer and we're hoping that makes things easier for doing that. Not sure whether we'll go to the grocery. It would be nice to pick up a few fresh items but we'll live if we can't do that since the freezer is plenty full.
I didn't sleep hardly at all last night. My shoulder and arm were bugging me (gee, wonder why?) and I was hot and cold and for some reason, I wasn't sleepy so I didn't finally drift off until 4am so I got about 3 or 3 1/2 hours and even that was broken sleep. If I get super tired today, I'll set an alarm and nap for no more than 20-30 minutes and if I get any indication that tonight is going to repeat, I'll take half a xanax to reset the system.
