One Week Later

Tweet

Last Friday will live in the minds of many people in Wisconsin as the three-day blizzard broke records, not only in the number of inches/feet of snow but also for April snowfall. Normally the blizzard the magnitude we got would have been seen in January or February. Not! This was an April blizzard. Now, one week later, temps are in the 50's F and snow is melting. I took the picture a few days ago when it stopped snowing to show the level of snow on the snowbank against the cars on the street. You can just see the top of the car in the top picture and more of it in the bottom picture, taken today. You can also see in the bottom picture that grass is starting to show. I tried to get a good picture of it, but there is a robin on the grass, no doubt very happy he can look for food again. Today is just beautiful outside, as I was just out there and almost didn't need my winter jacket. I had an appointment with the chiropractor. I really messed up my back. He worked on it for a few minutes and then sent me into the therapy room for electrical stimulation and ice. He didn't say anything about another appointment, but he thinks I'll be back next week. He left it up to me. I got all my notifications done earlier, and took a three hour nap. I was up before 2 this morning, so I was ready by 8 when I finished the notifications. I probably would have slept longer, but I was woken by a knock on the door. One of the maintenance men was there, concerned because he thought I had fallen on ice. He said my neighbor pointed to my door and said 'ice'. She speaks Spanish, so he didn't know what she was talking about, and was happy I hadn't fallen on any ice. With being up, I made myself breakfast at 11 a.m. and set up my dinner in the crock pot. A pot roast. I got home at 2:30 with no tantalizing aroma permeating through the apartment. I plugged in the coffee maker instead of the crock pot, so dinner might be a little later than expected. It makes me wonder if I'm going to eat before I leave for the Weidner Center tonight and the R.L. Stine event for UntitledTown. I think it was the excitement of that event that had me up at 2 a.m. I got a lot done before I left for the pool this morning, though with my back as bad as it is, I could only do 7 minutes on the elliptical in the fitness center. The water felt awesome as usual. I also worked on Thread of Evidence this morning after my nap, so it's been a productive day. Okay, you're all caught up with my day. What was/is your day like? Thanks for reading.
