Snow and Shopping

Tweet

I saw the weather forecast this morning and it showed the snowfall totals for this year. We've gotten 52 inches of snow this year so far, and winter isn't over, and we're getting more today, though not an inch, about half. We had six inches of snow on Sunday, so they plowed on Monday. We got 8.8 inches on Tuesday, so they plowed yesterday. For the next seven days, the weather looks calm and peaceful. There are a couple days with a single snowflake on the chart, so nothing in the way of accumulation. I love winter and snow, but I'm ready for this break. I need to get back to the pool. Yesterday they plowed between 3 and 5 because there was a snow emergency until 3 and we couldn't park on the streets before then. My friend came by to find out if I wanted to tag along with her while she did some shopping. She also treated me to lunch. Because I went with her in her car, we needed to return to the apartments so I could get my car. We did that before we went to lunch. She stopped to get gas and went to the bank before we returned home. It was a good thing we did because it was going on 2:30 and we were still eating when we needed to have the cars off the lot. I parked my car at the library, intending we would come back and hang out after Good Will and Hobby Lobby. That didn't happen. It was a good day, but all the walking, something I can't do with my knees in the condition they're in, were a mess of pain by the time we left. We left Hobby Lobby where we spent at least two hours looking at everything and deciding what she wanted. She was looking for something in particular and had a hard time finding it. I didn't mind. I enjoy the store. However, my knees didn't appreciate all the walking and standing. Neither did my back as I realized when I got home and sat in the recliner with the massage pad on for the rest of the evening. I did find a couple of things I wanted at Good Will, and because I treated her on Monday, she bought the two movies I picked out. I bought the oil lamp that said it was mine. I collect oil lamps and this one is lovely as you can see in the picture. I'm also doing laundry this morning before it starts snowing again, so I'll be leaving in an hour to get that done. Tomorrow I'll go to the pool again. My knees should be back to normal by then. I watched a movie and a half before going to bed. I was so tired, my eyes were tearing. I got almost 8 hours of sleep. I thought about going to the pool this morning, but considering my knees are still bad and the laundry I'll be doing soon, I wasn't going to punish them any more than they already were. How was your day yesterday? Did you do anything exciting or out of the ordinary? Thanks for reading.
