For snow. Winter has decided that this is the week for us to wake up!! You know, as a kid I loved it, even if it meant wearing bread bags held on with a rubber band inside my boots. No fancy water proofing in those days, we generally were frozen and wet after playing outside in the snow. Snow forts and ferocious snow ball battles. It was fun then.
Now? It's a pain in my 60 something year old ass. If I lived in my own home I'd periodically use a broom to sweep the steps. A week or two ago we had maybe 1 inch fall for our first snow. Building maintenance did absolutely jack shit to clear the 15 steps it takes to get up to my apartment. They lightly scattered snow melt and left it. Treacherous? Yes, and I normally am slow going down those stairs. Here's hoping that my bitching about it makes a difference.
Now a days I plan around the snow since I'm basically a hermit. I'm prepared by stocking up so outside trips aren't necessary. I have better boots, lol, and almost waterproof gloves. I do have unfortunate luck with hats though, either they are so tight they slide up my hair, or so loose and floppy they don't keep out the cold. So I wrap my head and throat with a long scarf and look like a scary old granny.
I hope everyone who stops on this blog has a wonderful holiday season. If you're from the U.S wear sweatpants for turkey day.
Don't bankrupt yourself buying gifts this year. If someone really needs uplifting gift groceries or cash. Whatever you do do Not support the big box stores and oligarch run businesses like Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Shop locally instead. We need to stop giving them our money to send a message that they will not control this country and abuse us to get richer.
Off my soap box. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
