Now that is what I cwall scawf weatha
WOW, it snowed all day yesterday
. Hasn’t snowed like that since like aroud 95. Here’s some pics. I’m not sure how they determine the amount of inches for snow fall but I took a ruler outside to show how it piled up on this planter. The pictures of the yard were taken early on when the show started and before I went and shoveled the porch and the sidewalk.
It’s freekin cold, LOL. Had to go out and brush the car off with a broom. See it way down at the end of the fence. Mom got a pass to go out today but I don’t think its advisable. Her doctors appt is tommorrow and then we can see if she can put weight on her leg. I hope its healed enough but you don’t want to rush it either. Anyway, we will see. They have this service you can call to come and get a patient and bring them from point A to B for doc appts. etc. Sorta like a taxi for people in wheel chairs. It looks like a mini van and it has this ramp thing that comes out and they just wheel ya in and secure the wheel chair and then your on your way. Well, mom wanted to try it in the jeep with a walker and a wheel chair. I was like, I don’t think so, I don’t mind paying the 65 dollars to have the service do it besides its just more comfortable for her, easier for me, and with the snow and ice. Hell to the no! Besides the people opporating the service are really nice and professional. I took one of their cards so I can call them if we need them again. I just think its worth it. I told her its on me and don’t freekin worry about it, LOL.
Since I didn’t work yesterday because of the snow I was so glad to have the day to try and finish cleaning out this room if she needs to be downstairs for awhile. Have you seen those shows about horders and pack rats. Well, that is pretty much what we are dealing with here. So just to keep my sanity instead of having goals like getting a whole room done in a day or weekend even. Its easier to concentrate on just one pile, or a box or a corner of the room. That way if you just do a little each day eventually you begin to see some progress. I’t will be nice in the spring to be able to get to the glass sliding doors to open those if ya want, LOL. I’ve fallen twice already trying to move stuff around and just manuever around it. Anyway, its like an obstacle course but it is looking SO much better. It was great to have a snow day to make some progress because I got so much done, WOO HOO!!!
So not much has been done on knitting lately until things get more organized. Mom is so wanting to get out of there. I don’t blame her but she just needs to be patient. So on that note off to do some paperwork and then off to see ma. TTFN

Well, I know on David Letterman he sends a gopher person on the roof and has them stick a yard stick in the snow. Seems a legit way to measure it to me!
Yaaayy, for your mom getting some time out if there even if its just for doctors appointments and such. That service sounds like wonderful and much better for her to just be able to wheel around then try and get from the wheelchair to the car seat on a walker.
We’re going through purging our one room we toss everything too. Layers and layers of stuff we haven’t used in years! How did it get that bad. Blah! Feels good to have the space back again though.
