skibigsky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, maybe I still am a Goddess Alright fellow Goddesses. I have failed you. It was out of necessity, but I still feel like I have failed you. Mr. V. has had major ankle surgery, and is ‘non-weight-bearing’ for 6 weeks. We are in week number 2 (going into number 3). Handyman had eye surgery yesterday; nothing major, but enough that he needed a ride down to Salt Lake and back, and can’t do any manual labor for a few weeks. So, in short, the two males that I have readily at hand to handle issues with the house are out of commission. Yesterday we got 5 inches of snow. True, it was warm, and most of the driveway (especially the east-facing part of it) would melt on its own. But the north-facing part of the driveway (the part right in front of the garage), rarely gets sun, and even if it is warm, snow can sit there for days. So, yesterday, after I took Handyman to his surgery, I came back and decided that the snow was not melting fast enough; if I didn’t do something, the drive could freeze with 3-4 inches of condensed, frozen mush on it. And this, my fellow Goddesses, is where I feel that I have failed. I. Actually. Used. The. Snowblower. I AM a princess. I shouldn’t have to use a snowblower. HOWEVER, there is something to be said for knowing how to use one. At least I am empowered. (All 8 HP worth…. Yep. I'm a HP snob.). *grin. Eh…. It’s a good thing, and actually, I feel quite accomplished. This IS a good thing. *grin. Oh, but the other reason why I've failed as a Goddess? My car tells me when I've got low tire pressure, and not only was I able to check the tire pressures, but get the compressor at home going, and get all the tires at equal pressures. Hmmm... On second hand; I AM a Goddess. Hear me ROAR!!!! 9:26 p.m. - 03 April 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
