It's still snowing. It snowed all day yesterday and it looks like all night too, and now over today and tonight, we are supposed to get about another foot. The only real good thing is that the temperature is supposed to gradually rise out of the teens into the 20s. I am used to it. I am resigned to it. It is pretty. But it is also exhausting.
I ended up cleaning the church last night after the choir party. It was the only sensible way. The downstairs floors were a mess of salt and dirt. I knew they'd take a bit of time to clean and a long time to dry. And so, that is what I did. And it was fine. I am tired this morning but I would have been tired this morning regardless, and honestly I could hardly bear the thought of facing that job this morning. I knew it would be snowing this morning so, I slept in until after 7 -- usually I am cleaning the church by then. I didn't sleep well but I was comfy and warm. M was up around 4am and that annoyed me a little bit. I got up to pee and asked her why she was up -- with all the freakin lights on, of course. But at least she is home! Safe and sound. They made good time despite the fact it snowed the whole way. The major roads were nicely cleared she said. I had managed to get the shoveling done, and vacuumed, and walked to the market all before she got here. I was about to step in the shower when she actually did get here.
There was a fresh supply of mandarin oranges in the food pantry last night, and I am enjoying some now. They really have become my Sunday morning ritual.
The choir party was tolerable. Going over with the dV's is pleasant and I can trust they will leave early, and a mass exodus happened when we left, leaving only the special little group behind to enjoy themselves by feeling superior. I could tell M is actually quite exhausted tho she denies it, just like a kid always denies it when it is pointed out to them. She was dozing on the couch when I got back from cleaning. My main concern as I walked back was that I'd be hit by a snowmobile, but thankfully I only saw one and it didn't come barrelling straight at me.
I imagine church will be sparsely attended this morning. If Duffy doesn't make it in, I will be left to sing the alto part alone, which isn't too bad because I mostly know this song. Parts of it are really pretty and parts are really sappy but mostly it's okay.
I need to get more things at the market so that M can eat. I also forgot to buy toilet paper yesterday. Thankfully C will expect to give me a ride, since she commended me on my intelligence for waiting until she gives me a ride to buy heavy stuff. Yeah.
