It's Friday - My Schedule is a Bit Topsy/Turvy

Thursday night's snowstorm wasn't as bad as it could have been, but still dumped between 4"-5" upon us. DH and I had agreed to switch days off, so I had Thursday off and he'll get today off. He did snow blow the driveway for me so that I could get out to the grocery shops, and then I went out in the late afternoon to shovel the plow scree and do a bit of clean-up on the one inch that had fallen since his morning efforts. It's a wet, heavy snow - more like a Springtime snow than winter's dryer mix. 

Spring snows are usually heavier - more laden with 
moisture. Yesterday's snow, although it happened in 
January, was much more like a Spring snow, and that 
could be a problem with clearing the roof. 

He'll be spending today working on getting the snow off the roof so that we don't get any ceiling leaks, and he's going to absolutely HATE it. It's going to be a hard slog for him to get that done. It will be below freezing all day, although not in the deep freeze, the upper 20's  (-2 C or so for my centigrade friends). Hopefully it won't be a horrid day. 

I made my Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup 
yesterday, along with a big batch of 13-bean Stew. 
I'm set for meals for the next week now, and they're 
all foods that I love. A total win/win. I also made 
a dozen gluten-free blueberry muffins. They're a 
favorite snack for my lunch. 

I spent the day at the grocery store, then at home cooking. I made my Roasted Tomato and Pepper soup, and then a big batch of chili with some thinly-sliced steak and some wild rice sausages instead of the ground beef that I usually use. It should be quite yummy. I wasn't in the mood to eat much last night, so only had a salad. But I'm already looking forward to tonight's dinner. 

I'm quite looking forward to getting into the pool today. I 
know I'll be mixing up people's schedules by coming in 
on a Friday instead of my usual Thursday, but it does 
happen sometimes. I'm sure I'll have to share a lane and 
that'll be just fine. 

Although we have the threat of snow today, it's a very small chance and probably won't happen at all. I will head to the YMCA in a bit more than 30 minutes to get my third swim of the week in. I'm glad I pushed it out a day. I wouldn't have wanted to be on the roads at 4:00 am before the street was well plowed and the driveway was cleared. I hope all of you have a fabulous Friday, and once again, I apologize, Aearwen, for having to push off our weekly conversation yet again. Next week FOR SURE! Slava Ukraini.
