Niner

Today was far too nice not to put in a few miles. First I went out and shoveled out my mailbox that hadn't been getting mail for almost 2 1/2 weeks. Mailman still didn't deliver my mail, even with the effort I made. I wouldn't be at all surprised if I've been blacklisted for my outstanding negligence, but it had been too cold, and I'm too busy a girl to be bothered with shoveling out my mailbox. Ah well. I labored for thirty minutes, making quick progress as the snow was all starting to melt anyway. I almost was ready to call it a day, having given my arms a good enough workout heaving all of that heavy wet snow. My hands were shaking for hours after the laboring; slightly disconcerting, but I'll choose to ignore it for now.

I went out and did 9 easy miles through Pembroke. The roads were wet and criss-crossed with little rivulets of melted snow. The sun came out and all I could do was smile; after even a day of ugly weather, it seems like ages since the sun has shone.

I feel really good and now I'm ready to get some artwork done. Have a beautiful day!

If we don't get more sunlight they're calling off the next solstace. The local pagans,wichas,and druids won't know what to do come March 20.
