Courage is grace under pressure. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Another month has gone by and from what I, see in the forecasts that was the easy month.<\/p>\n

I guess the sky and my snowplow driver are correct. (Read yesterday’s post here<\/a>)<\/em> We are now under a heavy snowfall warning. Only now the amounts are double.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got to get to town before that. And before the deep freeze arrives later this week. I need the cat food that arrived a few days ago. I have only a few days worth left. My big challenge will be to get old Gracie down my driveway with the snow that is already there. I contemplated waiting, but another storm is about to hit Thursday again.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t make sense to clean the driveway before a big storm. That is a waste of rendered dinosaurs.<\/p>\n

Well me and Gracie made the run into the village and then into town.\u00a0 \u00a0I picked up my cat food order, we couldn’t wait for the puro man to get to town it looked like snow was gonna happen. So we left to come home.<\/p>\n

I did manage to pick up a few groceries. I paid with end of the month money. You know the kind that jingles in your pocket. While at the till I counted out 40 dollars before I knew the total, the total came to $39.80. Huh !!<\/p>\n

I remembered my emergency stash of 5 dollar bills in a secret pocket of my leather Jacket and had enough for a Beyond Meat burger, fries and a coffee. I still had 3 bucks left. woo hoo<\/p>\n

I noticed that the needle was pointing to E. I said a few words, and somehow we managed to get home and get her into the garage. I don’t think I want to venture out again without adding some gas. I am sure the tank was dry. But here we are at home safe and warm. I would have to go out and split the rest of the wood I cut yesterday. My body hurts from yesterday’s effort. I would have to cut more during the first of two big snowstorms heading my way.<\/p>\n

I am ok with that. We got to town and back again, and I am alive, Gracie is tucked into her home.<\/p>\n

Wood is chopped now I hurt.<\/p>\n
