I was supposed to drive back to Show Low after driving a friend to and from the hospital for a procedure, but my 1600 confirmed--right as I was writing my 1700 mom asking to reschedule, so I stayed another day, and drove down today.
I saw two clients, found what I needed, and then Mom demanded that I dropped what I was doing to drive her to Home Depot because their website showed three different ones available for pickup today, but apparently that is meaningless.
They didn't have any.
Mom yelled while I drove over, while we were in the store, while I double-checked Lowe's, which had also showed a snowblower, while I drove back, while I researched snowblowers and made a list of ones recommended by magazines, while I went to the bathroom, probably while I showered, but fortunately I couldn't hear her, while I waited to go on a walk, and when I finally went out to finally take care of things.
It was windy and snowing, but at least Mom didn't follow me to yell at me!
It was almost 01 when I came inside!
I had just finished shoveling the rest of the snow when I drove down to see my girlfriend.
We had 8" of snow, which doesn't sound like much, but I kept shoveling for 30-45 minutes and then needing to come inside and rest.
I used to shovel snow for 4 hours before I needed a break, but I usually napped for hours!
It is supposed to snow another 8" or so, which means somewhere between 1 and 20".
As soon as it stops snowing I am supposed to drive back to the valley to get a gold crown installed on my back tooth where nobody will ever see it!
