Pain, pain, pain. Today it snowed. It beautifully snowed. However, orders needed to be shipped, so with boxes in a backpack, I walked to the local post office. I’ve done it before, but not as it was snowing. I really enjoyed the walk there, even with the last 3 miles having to walk with snow blowing in my face [it is a 6-mile trip, one way].

However, on the way back I slipped several times, and even fell once. A small bruise on my hip, but many, many pulled muscles later, I finally arrived home. Thankfully about a mile from home a neighbor in a 4×4 truck drove by me on his way home from work and gave me a lift. But for the rest of the day, I was all about pain relief and laying down. In fact this first photo was taken 3 minutes before midnight! And this other photo was taken on the walk to the post office but due to the amount of snow coming down, it was the only time I took out my iPhone to snap any pictures. I’m lucky the phone dried off  well!
