Lots of Snow

In defense of my slothfulness of sleeping in so late this morning, I went to bed around midnight but couldn't go to sleep immediately.

After doing two loads of laundry, spending too much time on the computer and not finishing breakfast-lunch until almost 2:30pm, I finally went out to the library around 4pm. The whole process of going to the library, spending some time there picking out books and walking back got me home after 6pm.

After a brief pit stop, I finished my 4 miles by walking to the Los Alamos Airport and back. I wish the airplane mechanic didn't have to burn his stinky, black smoke-belching coal fire to warm his mechanic shed. It's really yucky when you breathe it in!

The English librarian said that where she comes from, San Antonio, TX, it only snows about every 10 years. She also misses her garage. I sympathize with her because I too would like a garage and I'm getting less and less enchanted by snow shoveling. Also, I fear slipping on ice a lot more now in the winters. Getting soft in me old age, I am!

I didn't finish supper until a little before 8:30pm. Ah, the wages of a slothful lifestyle are so harsh! No, really, I'd better get up at a decent time tomorrow to help spouse with the snow shoveling and digging out the cars.

Where's a really good place to live where it only snows every ten years??

Hmmm...

Sleeping until 10:15 am is a bit excessive but I suppose my body needed the sleep.  So much for getting an early start and going out for a walk before the snow comes!  I'll be lucky to get done with breakfast-lunch before noon!

Rockettes turned out to be pretty boring so we didn't watch them.

Left side back of my neck was so sore last night but feels great this morning.  My neck tends to get sore on the left side in the evening but feels fine in the morning.

Forgot to mention that on yesterday evening's walk, I tripped and fell.  I was walking on the Mesa Trail on the strip of dirt away from the canyon-edge to avoid the snow (and possible ice) on the asphalted path.  It's hard to describe what  I tripped on but there are display panels like on a fit trail and I tripped on the edging around one of the displays.  I went down fast - no question of staying upright -  and caught myself on my left hip and arms, maybe grazing my knees.  It was a very soft landing.  I was lucky!
