had a lot of shoveling and sweeping to do just to get out. Cars were burried, but I got out. Should have come right back when I realized there was no parking on the main st`reet, and they were plowing, but I had gotten that far. All the diners were closed, and the main streets plowed, but coated. Didn't venture onto unplowed onees, which I should have, but there was enough to go through on the plaowed ones. Got through with no problems, just a little slipping here and there.

Came back and my spot was taken, so parked the Chevy on the corner, not legal, but doubt the parking auth will be out tomorrow,and maybe i can get it legal then.

didn't sleep much, woke a few times, or woke and fell back a few. Should try to find a legal space for the Chevy. May not have to. If I do, I'll at least have to clear the steps and car, and spots may be rare, and maybe should keep what I have, even if I get a ticket. 50mph winds will blow all the snow back.

made it out and cleaned the steps and sidewalk pretty good. Cheaned off the cars Again, the same amt as lasy night. Tried to find a legal space for the Chevy, but there were none, anmd still can't park on the main st. An SUV parked close to the corner near mine on the cross st was leaving, but a lot of snow in the spot, and not really better than where I was, and then a car across the st was pulling out and I got that spot. He had a bit of trouble pulling out, and me getting in it. The repair of the water main break at the corner leaving dirt, turned to mud. The guy whose house was getting water in the basement from it said, he had 14" of water in it, and they gave hima sump pump, that he ran out the basement window. Wind was howling at times.

Looks like I'll me stuck in for a few days. Glad I was able to stock up on the muffins I like. Going to warm up to 50 by the end of the week.

want some beef stew, but too worn out from moving snow. Wanted some last night but couldn't find the cans, but found them later, so know where they are.

guess I'll try to get out. Parking on the main st should be back, but getting in and out of spaces may be rough with snow turned to ice, especially where salted and plowed.

made it out and got out of the spot pretty easily. Main streets were just wet,and side streets just had a little junk in the center. Dinner was good, and the Eagles Lost.... Came home and found a space close, though the city left a lot open, but might have to move in the AM, so took the space. A little tough getting in it, but I made it.

made it out to the diner, and the streets are even better. Had a little trouble getting out of the spot I had a hard time getting into last night. Came home and found a spot easily even though after midnight, but a block away.

The diner was pretty good, chatting with the help,and the waitress didn't give me a check. Told me to leave. Maybe just charged me for tea and paid it. I gave all the friendlies who take care of me 5$ extra for Xmas.

Weather is getting milder, warmer and less windy, and suppose to get even warmer, reaching 50.

waiting for another storm overnite, a little snow, sleet, rain, and freezing rain, and maybe off and on for a few days, so not much fun. Want to stock up on foods and soda, and may restrain my hip or back, especially if it gets icy.

another crazy winter. No snow but freezing drizzle, to make things icy, and on top of frozen snow, pretty tricky. Would like to get out shopping, but not important enough to slip and slide. Walking would probably be rough, and both might reinjure my hip and back, and no telling what the parking situation my bring.

another storm coming tonite, but Just a Wintry Mix, what ever that brings... Slept earlier, and thought about going out, but not that eager, and have to deal with bad weather. Looking up info on cars I am interested in, and not sure if I should get involved 3 are at a city auction, that could go real cheap, but could be not maintained by the previous owners they were Taken from, and why they weren't bought back, for what is owed, but could go really cheap. One problems is, they can't be parked on the street till you get a title, which could take a few weeks.

rain, and then some snow coming, so no telling where it will be legal to park. They might clear the main street. Haven't been out to the diner in a few nites or days. Either the weather, time, how I have felt, or wanting to have to go back out and move the car have stopped me. That is rare.

cold out and just breezy, 16 & 10. Debating whether to eat something, or try to sleep. Car hunting won't be decent till at least Fri, Sat would be better, and Monday the best, in the mid 50's. One auction is Thur, but did want to go look at one at a dealers, I could sit in and drive. Want to check on Ins, and a place to store the auction ones for a month, off the street, till the title would come in.

Brrrrr, it's Cold out, but I made it. Went to the diner, which was pretty good. Looked for a towing yard a freimd told me a guy I know started, and think I found it. Have to check with him about storing a car from the auction, if I get one. There is a 4th one at the auctions. but days apart, so can't compare them, but more possibility of getting one real cheap.

Thinking of buying a house where I can have and do what I want. Not idealy, but just to get away from the city.

snow, sleet, and rain coming tonite, maybe an inch, and 2-4" tomorrow nite. Not sure what parking will be like, and not sure whether to go out, and what things will be like.

should get out and back early if I am going to go, so I don't have to deal with parking tonite when the storm comes. The one last night was a bust.. Not a daytime person, so it is a strain. Feel a bit achey, but been doing a lot of physical stuff.
