Snow fell again last night and this
morning covering all the work I did on the ramp yesterday. Snow fell
yesterday and I was a bit surprised at how much snow did fall.
Actually the snow came down on Christmas Eve and I let the snow stand
over the holiday but yesterday decided to get dressed And at least
get the ramp cleared to the point that I would be able to get down
the ramp needed. I realized getting up around if needed could be a
bit tenuous oncoming home from work and driving up the ramp. I
slipped and slided all over the place getting up but I made it.
I jumped into my power chair for the
project and actually just put on my hoodie because I figured I'll
Moving so much that the black hoodie would be all I needed to stay
warm. Luckily Dianne had left snow shovel within easy reach the front
door but even so I had to travel small way down the ramp and I got
stuck! I then had a good 5 min. of rocking and rolling chair to get
enough traction to overcome the slippery snowpack. I had just begin
moving snow when my cell phone rang it was L Michelle and I rolled
back into the house where we chatted for more than an hour. The call
with L Michelle was one of the best I've ever had—I was taken back
to the old kid days, we would talk forever it seemed. Michele's kids
are gone to their dads for a week so she had time to visit without
interruption. It was a good call I'm glad she called.
I forgot how cold I tend to get in the
winter and I did get chilled moving the snow. I got stuck numerous
times but freed myself easily enough. There were a couple times I got
a little worried when I had to really work at free myself but I had
taken great to make sure I had myself on with me. I did not do as
good a job as I would've liked on the ramp, Dianne would've done much
better and quicker but I felt good about the work I did. So much so I
decided to give myself a treat and buy dinner at Subway. I had no
problem maneuvering myself up the street. The streets were clear I
had no problem. By the time I got home I was cold but I watch
television all night with the heater on and I was pretty toasty.
Diane called and we had a short chat.
I was a bit dismayed on looking out my
window this morning to see new snow I just couldn't do it especially
with more snow forecast for today and tomorrow. So I will wait till
Saturday before clearing the ramp again.I must admit I'm getting
bored knowing I'm sort of locked in the house. I may just get up get
dressed tomorrow and shovel the ramp again and head back up to State
Street.
