Be mindful not to overdo, I've learned the hard way I think.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that, but most, if not all of us have been there!

Especially on a nice sunny day - like it is here!

A little, or maybe a lot of TLC required.

I should have read this earlier. Against my better judgement, but really because I had no choice, I spent nearly 1.5 hours shovelling snow out of my driveway and clearing the latest accumulation off the car. Hubby has to get to a meeting tonight. He must think the snow will magically evaporate while he's at work. However there's more than enough left at the mouth of the driveway from the passage of the snowplough along the street. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to see it after he's slogged back home through the drifts....

Ha I solved that issue when we moved to a condo. Hire the neighborhood children, be good to yourself.

Yes, a condo or apartment does look very appealing at this time of year. There are, apparently, no local children or youths with the slightest interest in shovelling. At least not after the kind of snowfall we've just had. The snowbanks either side of my driveway are over my head. A couple of weeks ago there was no snow. Ah well, spring is coming.

It is part of the Hausmeister's job in ours - worth every euro!!!! Though we very very rarely get snow these days at our altitude - different matter a 100m further up. But since even an inch would stop us getting out of the garage up a steep ramp - we still need him.

Pacing - I word I temporarily forgot last week when I played tennis for the first time in 9 months thinking I was well enough to do so having dropped fairly easily to 7mgs. Oh how I have suffered in this last week and all thoughts of dropping to 6.5 mgs have miraculously left me. 😕
