547 - more snow & wall damage!

Day 547 awoke to even more snow. In the dark it was terrible looking and even when it got lighter it was still drifting and miserable.
hard to put on makeup with one hand but I managed

Britt and I loaded up Lexi and made the slow journey of 80 KPH in dropping her at school and then heading to work. Lexi of course was a hit with everyone and enjoyed my typing skills curled up on my knee in her blankets when not visiting folks. Kaylin picked her up around 10:30 on her way to babysit Asher.

I made the treacherous venture south stopping or actually sliding past the mail corner! At the mail I had 3 parcels so back to town I went then slowly came back home by 1. Shaina had tried to get Diego to go out with no success so I had to send him out, only the snow was so banked in front of garage door that the security reversed the door after it fell into garage after I pulled in and he scurried around and back in. I shoveled it out, closed the door and sent him out again. Not long he was bounding back thru the snow requesting me to open the door to his garage and kitties. Shaina headed to Target to work around 2.

Once home from work and the city for hearing tests, Sheldon donned his warm dudes and went to shovel snow. Britt's bus arrived but soon there was a loud pop and noise! The bus driver cut the island tight not wanting to go thru a snow drift and wiped out a huge chunk of the retaining wall. Needless to say, Sheldon was fuming and in disbelief. Another bus had to come for the kids, then a tire truck to repair and finally the bus was gone by 5:30. In the meantime Sheldon put the blade on the quad only to find the winch which runs the blade had seized requiring a new one! Time to come in for a few beers.

After supper, Craig & Steve came out to present our financial plan and helped him drown his sorrows. Kaylin stopped out about 7:30 bringing Lexi and going thru the Scentsy samples to pick favorite smells. She went home about 9:30 and the fellows left just after 10. Shaina came home at 11 and promptly got stuck in the middle of the driveway!
