The things
we do in the name of beauty (or is it just me?). I was up at 4:00 today. Yes, a.m.
Out of the house at 4:50 – also in the a.m. Had a 15 minute walk to get to the nearest
bus that was running. All to get to the
hairdresser’s at 6:00 – yes, that is still in the a.m. You really have to trust your hairdresser to
let her get the scissors going so early in the day.
It was a
pretty spooky walk to the bus and -20 with the wind so a chilly, spooky journey. Didn’t see a sole, a dog, cat or even a
squirrel. I saw one car and one snow plow
that was plowing the drive thru at Starbucks – priorities!
It started
out as a much better walk than it was yesterday but as soon as I got off our
street and onto the sidewalk on the main drag it was blocked with snow and I
had to walk on the road.
What is it with
people that they snowblow or plow their laneways and blow the snow onto the
sidewalk? So rude! I have decided that should this happen again –
and hopefully it won’t until next winter – I will be ringing those people’s
doorbells at 5:00 a.m. to annoy them because I was certainly annoyed. I had to call the City to have them come back
and re-plow the sidewalk (and goodness knows how long that will take
them). The City guy said it is illegal
to put snow on the sidewalks. Gee, are
you going to send the by-law folks out?
Doubt it. Give me a book of
tickets and I’d be more than happy to write them out. What is my annoyance
worth these days? $500 fines!
When I got
off the bus I had another kilometer walk to the hairdresser’s house and again,
a little spooky. It was lonely and as
some as you know my mind tends to drift when left alone. I was looking at some of the houses and
noticed that they had pretty epic snowdrifts on them. What a great pictorial of my walk. What do you think? No, not about my mind drift….the snow drifts!
