Post Christmas Blizzard Recovery

Well, it's now the day after Christmas... it's all a blur to me now! I've basically been shoveling snow since Wednesday night - Ow! My back! I think we got about 20 inches over the course of two days. Sometimes it was powder and sometimes it was a bit damp, so it made for really heavy snow to move, except for the first shoveling which was all powder. How I LOVE powder! Light little shovelfuls of powder! Seriously, I've ripped my back. I have previous back injuries - one caused permanent damage from a shoveling event in the early 90s, when I lived in Murray. I have a bulging disk from that one. I feel like I'm going to need therapy on it again....ugh! And it's still snowing!!!

Christmas was lovely. I really enjoyed watching the ever-changing colors of my little Christmas tree, as it reminds me of my Mom. I'm kind of dreading taking it down for the season. :(

I was surprised by receiving gifts from several friends/neighbors that quite perplexed me. I wonder how I've suddenly become so popular with people I barely knew? I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering if I've missed a "clue" someplace...

I've still to write my Christmas Letter. I usually do it on the weekend after Thanksgiving, but I was ill this year. Soooo....I still haven't managed to get it written! (Maybe this weekend)

I've watched lots of movies over the last few days - at least 10, so far. I'm on vacation through January 4th, so the potential is that I will extinguish the vast Hollywood library of movies! Maybe I should call Guiness....
