We had another snow day today. Nothing for two years and then two snow days in one week! Hopefully this will be it for the year. I really hate snow and ice, I hate driving in it, I hate cleaning off my car, I hate all of it. Plus I hate the cold. I have a countdown to spring in my phone to keep me motivated through the winter blues, which haven’t hit so bad except in Nov/dec.

It’s supposed to “warm up” next week, I mean I don’t consider 45 degrees warm but it’ll be like a tropical heat wave after this week.

On Monday we have a memorial service to go to for one of RS’s family members. I think he was a cousin. Poor guy just died out of nowhere of a supposed heart attack at 39. They’re assuming heart attack or possibly aneurysm. It definitely could be a heart attack even though he was so young, apparently he was a very heavy smoker and drinker and didn’t do much activity. Someone had seen him shoveling snow and I’ve heard sometimes people who are inactive can indeed die from a heart attack shoveling snow. It’s just too much strain on their body. I never met him as far as I know. I’ll go to pay my respects though, of course.

I was sick with a cold on Tuesday’s snow day so I stayed in bed all day but today I pledge to be more active. I might challenge CR to a snowball fight later. He’d love that. I’m trying to do things with him as much as possible before he really settles into adolescence and starts to think I’m lame lol.
