GG, You are doing great. Keep thinking of the overall progress, and remember this is just another bump on the road.
MWG, Yes, it snowed all day yesterday and it took at least an hour to shovel the driveway - 8-10 inches plus the village snow plow managed to dump lots of snow at the end of my driveway. BTW, the neighbor came over to offer to plow my driveway and I turned him down. Didn't want to feel obliged for any favors especially since his inappropriate words a few months ago.
Now the driveway has got another 3-4 inches of snow. I am waiting till morning to shovel.
Oh, I assume the boys arrive on Christmas Eve. That's what happened the last 2 years. I need to call them tomorrow to catch up. Haven't had a chance these past 2 weeks.
