today, I got dressed, lol… I know that is a big deal for me and a lot of you, I’ll bet… not having to worry about anyone coming to the door makes pjs perfectly acceptable all day…

in the morning I cooked spaghetti and let it cool down so that the sugars would fly through my system when I warm it up…

looked in the fridge and found part of a jar of spaghetti sauce which I used as a base for my sauce…

the addition of spices, A1, ketchup, and soy sauce, with time to mingle together, makes for a tasty addition to the spaghetti… also added some frozen meatballs to get in the required protein… smelled lovely as it was simmering…

while that was cooking, I went out and shovelled between the front steps and the driveway… snow seemed heavier than in the backyard yesterday, lol… and my back is not so happy just now;-(…

my shovelers came by this morning and did the driveway and sidewalk (but not the connecting area)… very happy they were able to get that done as it needs to be clear for the mail carrier… and Tuesday my grocery order should arrive as well…

supper was tasty and there is enough sauce and spaghetti for two more meals… yay…

seemed like a full day;-)…

big girl pants, car, colleague, deep, drifted, driveway, overnight, pretty, shoveler, snow, widow

this morning I was rather surprised by how much snow had fallen overnight…

when I opened the back door there was easily six inches of snow up against it… I figured it had just drifted and when I stepped over it there was six inches of snow on the deck and all the way to the garage…

when I opened the big door there was four or five inches… I walked along the driveway to see how deep the snow was and decided that I might not be able to get the car out…

back inside and called a cab… didn’t want to get stuck at the bottom of the driveway…

but it sure was pretty, lol…

was able to get a ride home with a colleague and walked from the end of the street to be sure she didn’t get stuck…

there was even more snow when I walked up the driveway… snow pants would have been helpful, lol…

the steps and sidewalk were completely covered…

my shoveler isn’t available tonight, but will be here at 7:30 am so that I can get out in time for work…

beautiful, big girl pants, conversation widow, driveway, grandson, Olympics, shoveler, snow, supper

well that was nice…

texted my grandson, the shoveler, to say that there was a bit of snow on the driveway and sidewalks… it was quite beautiful as I looked out this morning before and after footprints were made…

we met at the office after work, stopped for gas and picked up some chicken wings for our supper… made a salad and we watched some Olympics…

then he went out and cleared away the snow… hot chocolate and a bit more Olympics and off he went to catch the bus home…

I really enjoyed having someone to discuss the performances of the various athletes we watched;-)…

together…

big girl pants, curry, DavidsTea, errands, jeans, lentils, purple, shoveler, snow, together

up and about fairly early for a day off…

ran some errands and picked up my hemmed jeans… my girls will be so proud:-)…

  
found a few pairs of socks and a nice white t shirt to go together with the jeans…

stopped in at DAVIDsTEA for the free cup that I heard about by email… really enjoyed the Mom’s Apple Pie flavour… and came away with this, lol…

 
it is a gorgeous shade of purple and keeps things hot or cold… also collected some tea that I had earned… 

my shoveler came after school and cleaned up all the snow… it was really cold out and he had to come in midway to warm up his hands…

  

we had supper – the red lentil curry – and he headed home on the bus, with curry, chicken and dumplings, and pistachios in his bag… 

always enjoy spending time together…

chores, cleared, quiet day, shoveler, snow

spent a very quiet last day of holidays…

lots of TV watching and napping…

did a few chores around the house and got supper ready for the kids…

my shoveler worked very hard when he arrived…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2015/01/img_0151.jpg
that driveway is a lot bigger when there is five inches of snow on the ground and it is minus 40 with the windchill…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2015/01/img_0150.jpg
all cleared now so I am able to exit the premises, lol…

guess that means I can get to work tomorrow…
