Spring peeked at us, then returned to hiding in a snowdrift

We've had SNOW. Gobs of SNOW. Were supposed to get an inch or so, got about 11, according to the local weather data. Was 65˚ yesterday, but we're supposed to get a dusting this Monday. We'll see how that goes, especially since every massive snowfall we've received this year (3 or 4 blizzards now) was forecast to be an inch or less. ;)

The Good

Most everything. Belly's better, writing is going well, Tina liked her quilt, no one is sick, Laura's still employed, granddaughter is awesome, I'm down 28lbs... It's been a pretty good week.

The Meh

Bill will officially become a mail carrier starting next Saturday. It's good because we finally have an answer and a direction. It's not so good because not only will it entail a pretty big pay cut (we will adapt to that) he's 50. Lugging a 50lb pack of mail up and down hills in all kinds of weather is hard on anyone's body and he's not 24 anymore. I am stocking up on easy to carry protein - nuts, beef jerky, protein bars, etc - and he's already started taking some additional vitamins and glucosamine. At least spring will be here soon so he won't be freezing, at least not to start.

The Bad

I really can't think of anything.

Have a great week, everyone!!  {{Hugs}}

Congratulations, Bill on finally having some closure about the job. I hope all goes well with the physical adjustment.

Thanks. We're hopeful, but it's a CHANGE and we're not good at that. Lots of frayed nerves and tension lately, but once things settle down again, everything will be fine. {{huggs}}

So glad you're feeling better. Stomach cramping is no fun. Bill's pay cut stinks, but at least he has a job.
