Day: March 4, 2023

I definitely would have done so today when I cursed it out with a blue streak while shoveling several hundreds, if not multiple thousands of pounds of snow. I’m very glad my kids helped to shovel the front walk, so I wasn’t responsible for 100% of the property, but it was still a very high percentage that I cleared myself, over two or three attempts throughout the day. I hope I made it cry. That I ruined it’s self esteem, and made it feel like less of a thing. By this point in the winter, I fucking hate snow.

My back feels like shit, and I had to take a much needed nap today. I am exhausted nonetheless. I pray we get rid of 90% of it before we get any more this winter. UV must have been high today because we had significant snow melt today aswell.

Finding it hard to sleep tonight. I’ve been rolling around in this bed for two hours now trying to get back to sleep. To no avail. I’m not ready to get up and start my day, but sleep looks to be lost to me in these wee hours of the morn. I don’t feel like starting to shovel. I think playing a video game or watching a movie are out. Hmph! YouTube it is then. I’m almost to 450, and then on my way to 500 consecutive days of writing. Woowzers. I was starting to get an inkling the other day for a new short story idea. Out in space, obviously. That seems to be where my mind wanders to. Straight up isolationist fiction. Thanks Covid! Easy to write about sad isolated people when we’ve been living in bubbles for the last three years or more now. Will give me an excuse to crack the giant solar system & universe books I got for Christmas from the Smithsonian! They looked so glossy! Can’t wait to do some story research! Giddy-up.

Had a really busy week this week. Thought I had got ahead of the curve on it, but was only partially successful at that. Could have been much worse. Still in a good place though. Chin up! Chipper outlook makes things easier to take. Yes! Can do attitude. Like water off a ducks back.

Could be an equally busy week ahead too. March Break looms on the horizon as well. Seems our winter didn’t feel like starting until February around here, so perhaps we’ll have all this snow and cold until deep into March or even early April. Should make the ski hills happy if that’s the case. Maybe I’ll take my eldest out snowboarding one day over the break. I’d love to get back onto some downhill skiis. Though I am worried about doing permanent damage to a leg or my head. Giv’er! I’m sure I’ll have more to say once the sun comes up on this fine March the 4th of 2023. Saturday – I am in you.
