___________________

Today I have off from work.  And this evening is my Aunt's Service.  (In the middle of the woods.. Far out.  So please pray for my safe travel.. I'm a little worried, but I HAVE TO GO.. So please just say a prayer for our (& my families) safety in travel this evening! - Very much appreciated!) 

It has been snowing since last night.. Non stop. I heard that it's supposed to stop around 10-11am *I'm crossing my fingers*, so perhaps they'll have some time to clean up the roads... *before we have to travel*.  But keep in mind, we are going VERY FAR into the back woods... & I'm 100% positive none of the roads will be plowed, unless residents do it themselves).   
So yes, we are going to drive as slow and carefully as possible.  

Anyhow, the subject for this week's 52 week challenge for 2021.. was "WEATHER"  So, I think this photo is quite fitting.

  I just snapped this photo really quick while I was taking my fur-baby, Reese, outside to do "her business". 

  I got us both all bundled up, she was wearing her winter coat with a hood.  So she was warm. I had to make an area for her to go.. *I used the broom* and it was very hard. She went in the area... Tried to pee.. and decided she didn't like the area.. So she literally walked INTO the snow and peed.  And then came to me to go inside.  *shaking my head* lol! 

So afterwards I was looking around at all of the snow.. (thank God we parked both cars by the road).  And I was thinking about how we have to go out this evening (no question) for my Aunt's Service.  So I looked around, knowing that the snow shovels is almost always in our garage (pictured) & locked.  But I suppose Juan must have left it out from the other day when it snowed.. and I spotted our nice big snow shovel.  

So, Juan usually shovels the snow.  And we are both pretty out of shape at the moment.. (Two years clean in November.. & We've gained some weight).  So I worry about us both. We are planning on doing some type of diet soon.. & also getting more active.
However, Juan has high blood pressure.  And him doing stuff like that TRULY WORRIES ME (like even when we both mow the lawn during the warmer months- we share the job and have 2 mowers, it makes it easier.. but I worry about him. I don't know what I'd do without him, guys.  He's truly the love of my life.
So anyway.. when I seen the shovel I thought to myself..
TOTALLY FORGETTING ABOUT MY BAD BACK..  BECAUSE IT'S BEEN FEELING MUCH BETTER..- THANK GOD)! 

...So I decided  to shovel the steps and perhaps a little bit of our walk way in the back yard.

- I got that area done easily.. (I was very surprised).  So then I decided to do a little bit of the driveway..   Long story short.. somehow I shoveled all the way from our back door.. to the road and around our cars... and uncovered the windshield and lifted up our wiper blades..
*big eyes*
Like I said, I totally forgot about my recent back problems.

I was just thinking about how I'd rather ME do it, than Juan.  *I worry, like I said,*

& it was surprisingly easy.  

So I ended up doing the entire thing and FORGETTING about my back.

So right now I'm just really praying that I didn't do any damage.. *trying NOT to think about it*

I actually mentioned it to a friend and they said, "watch your back".  And I was trying to figure it out,  I seriously thought she was warning me/ or threatening me at first and I'm like... "?!?!?!??!"  *confused,. very confused.  she's very nice and i didn't know why she'd be threatening me* 
Guys... I feel really dumb LOL
Then I realized she meant *watch my back* (because I have BACK ISSUES*)  
  I'm shaking my head again... WOW.. Little slow over here sometimes. *kind of funny but.. not*


So I'm just praying that nothing comes of it.. and my back is fine.  I'm going to try not to think about it.. and just relax.

I have a zoom meeting, to meet my new counselor  in 45 minutes. *officially meet her*  I have went to one of her groups before and I've seen her around.. and she seems really awesome.  So I'm really looking forward to it.

(I feel like a ping pong ball at the program.. Literally getting thrown around from counselor to counselor it seems (she's my 5th one in 2 years).  So I'm praying that this is a permanent thing.  Because I hate having to tell my story OVER AND OVER and then get moved again.. It's kind of messed up actually.


After I have my meeting I'll begin returning all of your comments.
Thanks again, everyone.
I appreciate all of your kind words, comments, private messages & friendships.. I really DO!
I am so grateful for Flickr and this amazing community of photographers.. I'm so glad that I have met every single one of you.  You are all dear to my heart.

Have a blessed day.. and if you're getting snow.. stay safe! :)
