Almost forgot to post today…

The weekend was pretty laid back, but eventful just the same. Friday night I shovelled the driveway a bit, and slipped on the ice, tweaking my back. It’s livable, but still not fun. Saturday I took Erin and William to the airport where they flew to Calgary. I guess William is missing me quite a bit around bedtime. Hopefully he gets over it fairly soon, cause otherwise Erin might have a rough week. At the airport, I circled looking for a parking spot, until I realized that the piles of snow between cars were actually supposed to be parking spots. It was one of those things where you get up a head of steam, plow into the snow as far as you can, then back up and repeat until you’ve plowed out a spot for yourself. Took three or four attempts to get the car far enough into the spot. Wasn’t too bad getting back out though.

Later, I went to a friend’s place for a games night, which was good. I had to do the same thing in order to park the car on the street, and didn’t have quite as much luck getting out of that spot. Not a big deal, it just took a lot of forward/back/forward/back to get into the ruts, at which point the windshield frosted up completely. Unfortunately there was nowhere to pull over, so I just slowed down to a snail’s pace, and hastily scraped the inside of the car to enable me to drive a block or two to the nearest convenience store parking lot. No big deal though, I arrived home safely.

Of course even though I’d shovelled the driveway twice between getting back from the airport and leaving, I had to shovel again when I got home. Wasn’t too bad though.

I watched some football game yesterday. Apparently one team beat the other, and Paul McCartney didn’t have any wardrobe malfunctions. Oh, and there were a lot of commercials for tools and investments, but I don’t remember what companies they were for. :P
