Multiple Choice

In the past 10 days, I have spent the most time doing which of the following?

(a) sitting in traffic
(b) reading
(c) shoveling snow
(d) exercising
(e) cooking

The answer is:














(c) shoveling snow. Seriously, it is so sad. It's snowed so much in the past week. Tuesday through Thursday I think I shoveled 2-3 times per day, with several inches of accumulation each time I went outside. I know I didn't *have* to shovel multiple times a day, but there really is nothing worse than going outside to find ice where people have walked and compacted the snow. And keeping it clean makes it easier to shovel later on.

Alas, I was gone for 2.5 days and another foot or so fell. And my landlord didn't come by, and my downstairs neighbor doesn't believe in sweeping the snow out of the way as he heads out. So I got home today and shoveled for over an hour. Living on a corner with an extremely long side-of-house sidewalk, and an uneven weedy driveway makes for tired arms, hands, and back. Oi.

I am le tired! I'm skippin' the gym today!
