Slept in until 930 this morning (“late” given that I’ve been up by 8 the last two weekend days) and then hit the driveway & sidewalks real quick. Pretty much just slush after the post-snow rain, but my god that is so tiring. Folks who do manual/physical labor for a living do NOT get paid enough, whatever they get paid. And folks on Nextdoor cry about the lack of teens about shoveling snow on the cheap.

But, got it done so anyone out dog walking has clear places to walk. Roads are in fine shape, got my Starbucks and I guess we really didn’t have to worry about not being able to get out and about today, but I’m glad we don’t have to anyway. Another good day to hunker down and eat cookies.

Lily is good with this strategy.

On this January 17, we have evidence of the before times and being in a bar! And the late, great Carmenator being adorable. I still miss her.
