Winter Storm Aches

It was actually nice Friday when they let me leave work early (1pm) and paid me for the whole day!! It did however, take 2 hrs to get home. They also canceled classes at school.

I love the snow but when it gets to be this much I like to stay indoors and watch it. Unfortunately, I was unable to do that on Saturday. On my way home Friday I stopped by the video store and rented some movies, 2 of which were overnight rentals. I called the video store to see if they were actually going to charge late fees due to the storm and the manager said yes.

I had to go out and shovel my porch, sidewalk, driveway and then sweep off the car. By the time I did that I was exhausted and I came in took a shower and left for the video store. I was all over the road in my little Pontiac and thankfully not too many other people were out. I made it to the store and returned the videos, angrily.

I thought since I am out already I will go pick up some groceries, everything went fine till I tried to leave the parking lot and got stuck in an intersection. I did bring my shovel with me but that was not much help, besides the fact that I almost fell and in an attempt to balance myself I jerked and pulled a muscle in my back. Another motorist in a truck came by and tried to push me but I was going nowhere fast. Just then 2 other trucks pulled up and several people got out and pushed me out, I was unable to stop and thank them for fear of getting stuck again so I just honked and waved. It was really nice to see all of the people helping each other in times of need.

On Sunday it was really weird cause we had no services, at the store I was talking to Rick G. and told him if I am able to get out to the grocery I am surely going to church, but it was canceled. I saw Donna G. at the store on Sunday and she told me what they and the Halls did, what a wonderful blessing they were!! (You will have to ask them about it).

I am sad, I almost got invited over to someones house on Sunday to have dinner, they were having a cut called a Boston something and it sounded so good but I didn't get a call. I guess they were just teasing me or something, what a cruel joke. Food + Joke = Not a happy Sam.
