Time To Shovel, Time To Swim

In an hour I'll be outside shoveling. I'm not sure how much snow we got, but since the forecast was for anywhere from 3"-8", I'm going to have to allocate some serious time to getting the driveway taken care of. If it's a lot, I'll wake DH and have him snow blow, but I could probably use the extra exercise. 

I'll be shoveling snow within 15 minutes or so. We got dumped on
overnight, so it's going to take some time. Still, shoveling burns
calories and can be a wonderful workout. 

In two hours I'll finally be back in the swimming pool. I've really missed it a lot, and I'm looking forward to going back. I found that I enjoyed working out to the machines too, though, so I may work out a schedule where I switch around more often, maybe four days in the pool and two on the machines. It's going to be great to be a drowning guppy once again, though. 

I've used this image for my "Drowning Guppy" for years now. I just
love how happy she seems to be under the water, and her
goggles and swimsuit are great colors against the water. 

With the snow, and diving into massive sub-zero temps for the next few days following, we're probably not going to be super busy at the shop. Chickie spent yesterday and will probably spend today at her old apartment, finishing up the cleaning and moving the last few things over to the new house. She's been working hard at it, but her lease is officially up on the 31st, so time is running out. 

The clock is ticking for Chickie's apartment stint. Her lease is
officially over on February 1st, and she'll probably have a
final walk-through with the landlord on Tuesday or
Wednesday night. She won't get her deposit back, but
she's not counting on it either. 

We spent Sunday continuing to work on our major clean. I tackled the study and he continued working on the studio. New shelving is up and already filled and he's finalizing his plans for the units he'll be building for my other side. We have to get this figured out because we'll have to do a serious move in one section fairly quickly - the carpeting we want to replace comes into the studio in one small place, but it'll be a killer to get access to. I'll have to build looking for new carpeting into my schedule soon. 

We'll use Hamernick's again for our carpeting. It's almost a family
tradition - my father-in-law and sister-in-law used them for
all of their carpeting needs for years and years. They did my
living room carpeting and the lino for my kitchen a few years ago. 

Still, we're cruising right along as best we can given the weather and the fact that a lot of things have to be pushed off until Spring. This coming Sunday is Super Bowl and we're not going to be cleaning then. But next week we'll continue our quest for organization. It's never-ending with the two of us. 

Enjoy your day and be safe, be warm. I'm going to wrap this up, plug in photos and start shoveling. Ick! I'll be back on Tuesday.
