postaday2015, shovel, snow, storms



I am so bad, the reason that I took pictures of my husband shoveling snow in front of my mother’s house isn’t because he never shovels, but because he told us that he had shoveled this morning and when we went outside there wasn’t any sign that he had shoveled, so my mother and I couldn’t help but tease him mercilessly “likely story”. My mother then said that next time he shovels he should get photographic evidence. So here it is, his proof that he had indeed shoveled, it is coming down relentlessly harder and stronger by the minute, I give it a half hour before everything that he has done has been erased. 

Winter release us from your harsh grip already!!!!

Our small Nor’easter

Isn’t the snow so pretty? I spent about two hours shoveling outside and it was a pretty good workout. The snow was perfectly light and fluffy, very easy on the back, I was mindful the entire time; bending at the knees and using my core muscles. I spent the entire time in deep thought, most of which I have forgotten except for why I was shoveling in the first place even though I have the worst cold in the world. My thoughts were going every which way, at least I was sweating out my cold which led me to think of my father who swore by a good old fashioned hot grog full of armagnac, enough to kill any cold dead, really dead, which got me back to why did I feel the crazy need to shovel when I should be in bed, because I have been feeling fat lately which led me to thinking I always feel fat, no matter what I look like, which led me to the fact that at 134 lbs I am not fat, but I am heavier than normal and with being menopausal, it is harder losing weight which stinks, which led me to thinking that with all of the healthy things that I eat, I should feel really good about myself and I don’t, which is why being in recovery for an eating disorder is still a lot of work mentally and emotionally. Why am I so vain???!!!!!

Well an eating disorder is not about vanity per se, it is much bigger than that; it is really about self-worth, control or loss of control, dealing with change that is bigger than you and a ton of other things that exist very deep within your psyche. No matter how faithfully I tend to my regimen of writing, reading, cooking, tending to my plants and my family, I am still plagued by these demons. I have read that my age group of 40’s to 50’s has a tendency to fall back into the eating disorder rut due to an upheaval of those crazy hormones. I suppose that this is a ride that I am going to have to weather and as long as I remain mindful, I will be fine”ish”.

Another snow storm

Today my exercise class was cancelled because we had another snow storm. We got a solid eight inches during last night, what is weird is that tomorrow will be warm, about 45 degrees fahrenheit. The issue now with the snow isn’t really the shoveling, it is where to put snow. The driveway is getting narrower each time it snows, making it a little problematic when you share a driveway with your next door neighbor. I took pictures of the snow, not just to show how much we got from the storm, but also because the snow had a blue tinge to it, as if the water was really trying to show itself. The snow was heavy and it started melting just this afternoon, so the blue reflection within the snow made me think that the water was trying to show itself to me.

I hope that winter will soon be done, didn’t anyone tell Mother Nature that the groundhog decided that Spring was coming? I really think that these two should communicate better. When the groundhog says Spring is coming, I think that Mother Nature should accommodate him and us as well.
