tephraI had forgotten just how heavy snow is. :P
It was nice and sunny again today (rare in winter here, it's overcast and snowing so often) so I dug the jeep out of the snow. Not only did I clear the snow off it (which I didn't time but probably took an hour or so) but I also shoveled down the snow along the sides and behind it. It's 4-wheel drive so I could just back out over the snow that was there with no problems but it would be nice to delay the formation of the speed bump.
Then, because obviously making my heart race and pound wasn't enough, I grabbed the crow bar and went behind the house to tackle the excessive iciles along the roof edge. The snow was deeper than I thought (though, not by much, I knew it was deep) so even though my boots go to mid calf I still got snow caked on me since it was knee deep. I then spent about half an hour bashing down icicles. Yeah, waving a crow bar over head to smack icicles that rivaled my height in length off the roof. That got the heart rate up too.

hafoc, I had intended to shovel the mail box out for you since I was out there but I just couldn't do any more after that. :(
I came in all coughing and wheezy on the edge of "oh shit! can't BREATHE!" attack and managed to get out of the snow gear and flop on the bed to catch my breath. Shadow kitty didn't help with that since "human on bed" means "pet the kitty!" to her.
But I survived! The lungs feel a bit rough and raw and breathing too deeply triggers a cough but it will sort itself out after I rest a bit more.
I need to figure out some form of exercise that is possible to do in the middle of a Michigan winter, is free, and fun enough I will actually DO IT. Not taking much space would also be a good idea, what with my clutter tendencies in my room and the remodeling debris in the living room.
