Herein I bitch and moan...

Well that was probably the least fun bit of snow shoveling I've ever done. Probably because it wasn't really snow. Oh, it looked like snow, but it was a dirty, dirty liar. It was lead, in slush form. And it was hiding a lake underneath it. No sooner did I remove one shovelful then, I shit you not, an inch and a half of water would rush into the empty space. I got the front walkway clear, about ten feet at the top of the driveway, and a path the width of the shovel all the way to the end of the driveway so I could retrieve the garbage can and the mail. Then I tried to clear the turnaround so the lake could drain into the yard. Not so much. I got halfway through that, including pitching shovelfuls of just water off the driveway, before I gave up. Even my blisters have blisters. Plus, the whole time I was doing this it was raining. Nothing I was wearing was dry by the time I was done, not even my belt. Waterproof jacket, my ass. I was soaked all the way down to my bra.

Plus, typical, when I don't want him around he shows up, and when he says he's going to come over and snowblow the driveway he's nowhere to be found or reached. I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm going to wake up tomorrow and my driveway is going to be a solid sheet of ice three inches thick. I just hope I'll be able to get the car out tomorrow night. *sigh*
