The Snow Today is Relentless
I will spend most of my day ensuring that my walkway stays snow-free and salted so that nobody injures themselves when walking up to the house. John is stuck on a double shift, so the responsibility is left to me. Besides that, I plan to watch cooking shows for most of the day. Later, I will chop up... Sign in to see full entry.
