Frosting Day

Yesterday's snow is pretty today. The sky is the same color as the snow on the ground so everything is frosting. Reminds me of the line from Counting Crows' "Round Here" 

"Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white."

No fog here, just. a ton of white on white. The only contrast is the black power lines, and the green of the bushes, trees, and plants, and the red brick homes. 

Geoff was up very early this morning. He wanted to go to the gym and Doug dissuaded him from doing so. Our street is plowed, the main drag is probably plowed, but so many streets are not. They made a one lane pass on our side street, did a shit job, and they won't be back for hours. Geoff was pissed off about it, but Doug is right. 

It isn't that we don't trust him to drive, we just know the roads are no good until later this evening. Go to the gym after dinner. Much better idea. He got to see that in action when I drove him to work. We had pulled out after a stop sign and this woman came flying through the intersection, no stopping just going. I slammed on the brakes, laid on the horn, and Geoff said "well that was interesting." Yeah. It was. But a little snow makes people insane. 

I got up when the dogs were doing their super WWE wrasslin' face time morning chaos. Trying to sleep in was not possible. I heard Doug go outside with them so he could assess the walkways and situation. He ended up slipping on the steps - sheet of ice. Banged up his ankle and his knee, shoulder got bruised. Thankfully he did not hit his head. Ouchies.

Geoff went out and shoveled our walkway and the sidewalk out front. The snow must have been easy peasy to move around because he was back in no time. Didn't clean the cars off though. So I sent him out before I drove him to work. 

I got boots on, went out, played with the dogs for a bit. They had a lot of fun. Toffee is more interested in going out with a human. Dahlia will just go out all the time. She's all about having fun in the snow. They both like it when you throw snow up in the air so they can chomp it. It seemed like we had more snow in the back yard than the front? Up front was about 3 inches, out back looked like 6. With no wind, nothing to push anything around and mess it up so it was really nice to walk around the yard. 

We came in, I got more coffee, they got treats. I bought a container of jumbo cinnamon rolls at the market yesterday thinking it would be a cute thing to have this morning on a snowy day. One cinnamon roll = 52 carbs. Ha. That's pretty much what I have in a whole damn day. 

I whipped those up, and there are five in a package so I had one and left the other 4 for the boys. 

I have to admit. They aren't as tasty as I remembered or I wanted. They were kind of dry, and I always recalled the inner roll just being moist and very tasty. 

Still, a very nice treat and a change. And then a protein shake. Lower that sugar! I had a big open lunch time no-meeting span, so I opted to go to the gym again. Pushed myself on the treadmill - stayed on it for 45 min. Thanks Playlist!
