I'm in Australia, so I'm not having to deal with Snowpocalypse, but we got a massive hailstorm this week that:
- broke the skylight in our bathroom
- shattered the Laserlite over the entire back verandah
- bent the roof space heat vent to the point where it won't open any more
- broke 40+ roof tiles, and
- gave my husband's car an interesting new surface texture
...at about 7pm the day before Australia Day, which made lining up quotes a tad difficult. Aheh. XD
That sounds like what happens to Calgary every, oh, 3 years or so... My condolences.

So the snow passed us and hit a town called ft Stockton instead. So thankful for that as my new job is across town and I have no desire to drive that route in the snow/ ice
Kabe and I have just spent two days shoveling the driveway. It's basically done, minus the portion that's right around the neighbor's SUV. Because he just shoveled around it and nowhere else. On a shared driveway. Asshole.
*curls into whimpering ball of pain*
I know that feel. Spent most of the last three days shoveling snow. Clearing out around my car, and the front walk, and then this morning again, digging out the snow at the end of the driveway that the plow missed. That was snow about 2 feet deep and more than 6 feet across, and a car length-and-a-half wide.
Fortunately, our next neighbor came over to help out with his little snowblower. That let me get out to go to work today.
But yeah, my back, my hip, my shoulders, my elbows are all killing me.

Got the email late last night that I was accepted into our local Pop culture convention.
Yay! Hopefully I can sell some of my awesome quilts!
Sweet.
Not much is going on today . . . the sun is out and trying to melt some of this snow away. I'm in the dining room, waiting for lunch to finish cooking in the oven, have chicken drumsticks thawing out for dinner tonight.
And just heard back from my ass man - Grasshopper is opening in the morning, and he'll try to come by and pick me up so I can come into work but I may have to wait until a bit later after the sun comes up and the roads are starting to melt before I can get there (scheduled usually for 6 am) so I may just wait and get up at 5 tomorrow instead of 4 (meaning I can stay up roughly an hour later.)
And there is a Lady GooGoo napping on the table by the mouse pad.
