Tuesday - snow, snow, go away

We went out for a bit on Sunday, but it was snowing so we didn't get out of the car for long. There is ice starting to form along Lake Michigan and with the cold weather we're having I'm sure there will be more building. 



Monday was more of the same - snow. I was hoping the weather was going to be okay as middle son was coming into town and he was going to sign for his new flat/apartment. We checked at a couple of thrift shops for furniture but no luck. He did the signing though and got keys so we will be moving him in next weekend. It wasn't the one he really really wanted (the funky priced one that seemed to change day to day) but it was something similar and he really likes it.  Fingers crossed the weather will cooperate! The snow made me really anxious, but he did okay driving in it and made it back home okay. It was funny, as he said that as soon as he got outside of our town the snow stopped, and he had a clear drive home! It must just have been dumping on us. 

More snow today. I did manage to drive so I could take a quick walk. I didn't stay long. It looked as though the beavers were giving up on trying to keep the water open as there was a layer of ice over the open water. It was snowing quite hard too and I didn't want to get stuck. I took a quick walk around and then went back home and that was where I stayed! I was glad of it. 

When husband got home, he had to rake the snow from the roof again and do the driveway again. It's supposed to be a snow-free day tomorrow - here's hoping!

On the home front, I did get a bit more sorting done. Slow and steady seems to be the way. If I look at the big picture, it is rather overwhelming. I'm trying to focus on what I can get done, rather than on what I can't. I also think that, at some point, I am going to have to take a hard look at what projects I can realistically do and what I need to let go of. For now, I'm still working on letting go of things that I find not difficult at all. As I get rid of things I am keeping a tally that I'll share at the end of the month.

  1. It seems to be a constant battle with the snow for you, and very tiring.
    With all tasks, it's easier to do little and often, rather than get overwhelmed with the whole thing.

    1. This year there seems to be a bit each day! I'd rather have a big storm and get it over with lol. I am trying to plod along. I feel like it will be an ongoing thing and, as long as I keep going, I will make progress!

  2. The weather sounds awful! Wishing your son all the luck in the world in his new place. He's lucky to have you onside.

    I know the feeling of being overwhelmed. I think I'll have to take a hint from you and be more realistic. Sending all encouraging vibes.
