I had to pick up a couple of prescriptions at the pharmacy. We were having a heavy snow storm, but I put on my old Carhart jump suit and a good pair of gloves, grabbed my cane, and set out to walk there.
I was reminded of being in Boy Scouts when I was getting my hiking merit badge on Nantucket. We had to walk for miles ithrough sand for much of the hikes, But it was easier than the one mile round trip I had to do yesterday.
I made it home, and was pleased that I got my medications.
This morning, I found that we had even more snow fall last night. I tried to shovel the front stairs, but I made it as far as the bottom step when I realized that the job was too much for me to do alone. This was wet, heavy snow, and I was getting sore already from my walk yesterday, so I waited for my brother to be available to help.
By the time I went to check the weather again, it was raining, so I decided to see if the rain would wash away a large portion of the snow while I had hot coffee and did the crossword puzzle in the newspaper.
By noon, It was clear to me that I should stay inside and try again tomorrow.
But I did more than my usual one mile walk yesterday, and I am glad that I did.
