deckardcanineLast weekend, I looked on the bright side of the blizzard by noting that I didn't have to get up early on Saturday for an appointment. It got less fun when a total of three family events got canceled or postponed, so I walked two miles in the snow for a Sunday night dinner with my folks, also walking the way back. It's kind of nice to have an excuse to walk in the streets, and it can be mentally stimulating to figure out where's best to step next.
I worked from home Monday and today, having been one of about six people to come in on my floor Tuesday. I left early, partly in anticipation of the infrequent subway runs and partly because I was invited to a spaghetti dinner with two housemates and two neighborhood friends. After dinner, four of us played Rummikub, which was new to me, but I won the second time. The housemate for whom I squished a roach back in September lent me her A Few Good Men DVD in lieu of the brownies she felt she owed me.
Today I shoveled not just my personal path, but all outdoor paths on my landlady's property and the nearby sidewalk, from across the alley to the corner mailbox. The snow was almost knee-high at this time. No one asked me to do it, and two housemates told me to wait for the wind to die down, but I don't regret it. (My landlady called to thank me and see how I'm doing while I was typing this.)
I may be scoring unneeded points, but I'll make a man of me yet.
