Survivor: Maine - Episode 10: The Unending Storm

Early to bed (6 AM) and early to rise (10:30 AM, thanks to the landlord...) may make a man healthy, wealthy and wise, but it makes this particular woman rather grumpy.
Went out for what was hoped to be a quick clean-up around 11:30 last night, did not get back home till 6 AM. Collapsed, didn't even hear Kurlon's alarm go off at 7 (did it, even?). Awoke to the doorbell around 10:15, by the time I figured out what it was and extracted myself from the warm, warm covers, our landlord was walking away from the front step. Guh. plowingtheparkinglot. wantsmetomovetheTahoe. lovely. he'llcomebacklater. Later was 15 minutes. Pounded on the door, this time I made it downstairs, grabbed the keys, and stuck my head (complete with 14 hours worth of shoveling hair rat's nest. Perfect for crazy cat lady look.) out the door. Told him if he wanted it moved right this moment, he could do it. It is still sitting there.
Went out around 11:30. Tiny ball bearings stopped falling from the sky around 1 AM. Saw the moon very briefly around 1:30. Made me happy. Yay! Storm is over! Cleanup is a breeze so far! Spoke too soon. 2 AM, big, fat, fluffy snowflakes start falling. No. Nonononononononono! Craaaaapppp... Cleanup becomes not as much of a breeze. Thankful for probably over-salting the sidewalks we'd done prior to that, so we didn't have to go back to the places we'd just cleared, but LL Bean took a good two and a half hours to get through. Was snowing worse in Freeport. Moon came back around 3:30 AM, hid again around 4, and another snow squall came through. An observer in that big empty parking lot around this time would have witnessed two grown women shouting and shaking shovels at the sky (not terribly enthusiastic shaking... we were exhausted).
Finished, over-treated all the sidewalks (I can still taste salt... blugh.), drove home. I could get sleep. Michelle had an early morning, un-reschesduleable appointment, so as far as I know, she's still up. Not fun.
I am not going to do this next year.
Good things, though... I have today and (I think) most of tomorrow off (a 14 1/2 hour workday is good for something), so I can get started on gold leafing and painting my next scroll project (due at Birka... and a completely different style. Going to be quite the challenge! Very excited!). Will wait till I'm more awake to start that, though. Snow on Saturday has also magically disappeared, so I will (barring a change in the weather) be able to go to our Winter Feast. Lovely. :) Work gets in the way of my fun, but not this weekend.
