Snowed In - Cabin Fever
Here we are at the aftermath of our first major winter storm. Bill is outside shoveling the driveway. The temperature is a frigid 14 degrees.
Yesterday I spent most of the day in our fireplace and gas propane warmed house at my computer. I reviewed all 846 photos from my Tipton family reunion of 2011. Now to take the next step and upload those photos to Shutterfly and share with relatives who attended that reunion. I meant to share these photos sooner but you know how time gets away from you. Wow. That seven years went by fast.
I haven't been out of the house since I returned from work at the hotel Wednesday night, just as the snow was starting to fall, sideways. No need to go out, I have enough pita chips and hummus to last me for at least a week.
Tomorrow the temperature is forecast to drop to ONE DEGREE. Hey folks, no fan of winter Arctic temperatures here. My two week winter escape to California can't come soon enough. I just hope that when my flight takes off Sunday February 11th that the roads are clear to Philly International airport. I don't want any delay to my annual Winter Escape.
UPDATE!
I heard a motor so I looked out the window. There it was! A very generous neighbor is using his snowblower to clear out our driveway. Bill was out there earlier shoveling. I don't shovel. My lame excuse is that I fear falling but really I just don't like the cold. I would just as well prefer to wait for the snow to melt. Yep, I'm lazy and a wuss. Now that I have made my mea culpa, I am so thankful to that neighbor who just cleared out our driveway with his snowblower.
Thank you!
Now for lunch and a afternoon nap in my solar heated bedroom.
