dancerjodiI wonder if this snow is ever stopping? Brian has been doing the shoveling himself, and I've done the car clearing. We went down to help my brother out with the snow clearing on Crafts Street so that my Dad didn't come down from NH to take care of things himself (in his sneezy, cold-addled state). DW's car had to be moved from Gram's driveway, because apparently all of the stuff hadn't fit in the moving van and so the movers are coming back for the rest of Mom and Dad's stuff on Wednesday morning. We cleared it and moved it to a newly snowblowed spot down at #10 in the corner, and EJ cleared both driveways so that folks could get in. My parents will be staying at EJ's for the next three nights to get things down out here and to make travel with this snow easier. We don't have much to clear at our house typically, but we've decided to get a snowblower for ourselves now that we can open the garage doors (and now that Brian has seen the kind of work I'm usually doing by myself when he's comfortably in bed or still at the office). We'll do that this summer, after our vacations are done and paid for. We did venture out for a bit yesterday to Lori and Scott's holiday open house - the Charger wasn't too bad in the snow as far as maneuverability but it has way less power than my Impala and gets stuck much easier. I'll be happy to have my own vehicle again.
I've found bruises from the accident that I hadn't seen before: both knees, my right palm and the left side of my chest near my collarbone (which I can only guess was from the seatbelt. My pectoral muscle on the right side is REALLY sore, but not on the left, so I can only guess that its due to bruising that isn't showing on the outside. My right shoulder and the right side of my neck is a bit stiff and sore, kind of like the pain you get from sleeping the wrong way (though I can turn my head around with no pain or issue). I think its due to that being problematic anyway, and the tensing up in the accident didn't help with that. I'll put some heat on it shortly.
I wasn't expecting to, but my contact at Liberty Mutual called today to confirm that they are indeed going to look at my crunched car tomorrow at some point and will call afterward to let me know what the deal is. It would be amazingly awesome if I'm able to get into a new car before Xmas, though I'm not going to hold my breath. If anything, I should hopefully have this worked out before the new year.
It should be a strange week at work with the snow, holiday luncheon tomorrow with my department (we're eating at a restaurant and going home from there) and an early dismissal on Wednesday. I'm planning on picking up needed groceries tomorrow night on the way home from work and will do some cooking either tomorrow or Tuesday night. We're having dinner at my sister's and sleeping over there for Xmas morning. I can't believe that is already here - where does the time go?

Date: 2008-12-22 01:30 am (UTC)Ironically I almost asked that question when we saw the new garage :) My Dad bought a snowblower I think the year we moved to Michigan, and (IMHO) it's worth every penny (still going strong 20+ years later too). I'm sure Brian will be much happier with that solution!
