Hope everyone has a good weekend.
BSK - hope your back feels better soonPopping in quickly to say “hi”. After 3 days of snow we ended up with over 24” (some areas of the state got 37” or more). I tried to keep up with the shoveling, but at times it was futile. Luckily I have a snow blower which took care of the heaviest work this morning. Question, is it normal to use your heated seats in your SUV for your back pain?
Thanks for asking. It was wet and heavy, so definitely possible Heart Attach Snow, but I took it easy and paced myself. Only got to use the snow blower today, the previous two days where good old fashioned shovel work.BSK - hope your back feels better soon
Really hope it wasn't that Heart Attack Snow
That's a real thing btw!! Thank goodness for snow blowers!
I've been wanting snow (more the hard freeze than the white stuff) but all we got today was rain
Thank you and yes I am drained so taking it easy ish this week….well for me anyway! LolAfternoon all!! (Or whichever day part is local to you)
quick catch up before I need to S3 and pick up some groceries...
don't forget self-care, @Greylag happy emotions can be just as draining as negative. Be good to yourself so you don't crash
truer words!!to mum and baby!!
Life events can really be a catalyst for togetherness. Love that you were able to indulge when the opportunity presented itself

How horrible!!!Glad you're getting better. Hope there's some improvement every day!!
Plan A
Same. I had a very embarrassing day at work a while back. Overslept - like a lot!When I woke, there were several calls and texts on my phone (that I slept through) from the office. My then Team Lead was very concerned. They all know I'm single and live alone and don't talk w/ family regularly. Lots of deep thoughts that day. Still no perfect solution, but does make you think about options for that set of "what ifs"
Parents are awesome this way. We don't always see this when looking from the child's POV, which is a shame.
One of my most favorite memories is my first "work lunch date" with my dad. I had just gotten my first "post college graduation" job and made a date to meet my dad for lunch. Two adults with grown up jobs taking time out of their busy day to break bread together. The meal was average but the lunch was one of my favorites ever!!
My biggest regret is from when we parted in the parking lot. I had an urge to give him a big bear hug before we went back to work. Only to chastise the "Daddy's Little Girl" that we were too old for such silliness now. So, back to work with no hugs.
No one could know that he would pass in his sleep less than 48 hours later.
Tough way to learn that lesson. No such thing as too many hugs. It's okay for love to be silly. Love freely and forgive often. Because time is always too short - whether we realize or not.

Often. So I do the things that are "must" on the list (certain cleaning chores) or that benefit me (groceries) and bump the rest to the next day.

Glad you paced yourself. Hope your back feels better soon. Have to say, I love my Toro Electric Power Shovel Snow Thrower. I only have to clear my deck, front stoop, and a 3 foot (1 yard) strip in front of my garage door. Even so, some years it was back breaking. So I snapped one up when it went on sale.
We haven't had measurable rain for about 40 days. Worst drought in 22 years.BSK - hope your back feels better soon

Ornery Goat!
I’ve sent those, but sometimes the snow we get would overwhelm them.Glad you paced yourself. Hope your back feels better soon. Have to say, I love my Toro Electric Power Shovel Snow Thrower.

It’s really bad. We had to water some baby trees we planted this spring.
I hate that... It may be part of a geological cycle (macro, macro view), but I still don't like it.
We got almost no snow last winder. So I'm hoping we make up for it this year. Anything to help with the spring wildfire season. 
Yep. Sometimes the snow removal happens in layers and takes 3 -4 passes. Thankful I have such a small area to clear. The snow removal company takes care of the lion's share.
We have a couple wildfires going on here now. New jerseys not a large state but per square mile it's the most populated. So it effects a greater amount of people.I hate that... It may be part of a geological cycle (macro, macro view), but I still don't like it.
It's not a competition and my state has it way better than others, but we're still a mix of Abnormally Dry, Moderate Drought, and Severe Drought according to the U.S. Drought Monitor maps.
Be safe dear friend
