Snow, Snow, and more Snow!

Winter is definetly here in Mn.  We just endured a monster blizzard over the weekend, and ended up with a new 15 in snowfall.  This is on top of what we already have which is about 10 inches.  I went out yesterday to shovel out and really felt the absence of Chuck.  Chuck always bundled up and went out to do the shoveling.  My one neighbor (bless his heart), came over with his snow blower to clean off my driveway and walk, so I didn't have to shovel everything.  We never purchased a snowblower, because we don't have a large area we need to shovel.  We just used out snow shovel to do the job.
Now, we are inside most of the time because of being winter.  I didn't feel quite as alone when I could be outside this summer and fall.  This is the time last year that Chuck became very ill and was diagnosed, so that is adding to the sad emotions.  The holidays are approaching which also makes me feel sad and down at times.
I did return to work over the weekend, which was good.  My knee finally healed up enough after dislocating it 2 months ago, so my ortho doc was able to OK me to go back to work.  So, I continue on..taking it one day at a time.
