I get easily distracted but today was the ultimate. I can hardly believe I allowed this to happen.
The plan was to scoot to the mall and purchase some needed garments, returning in time for a skype date with my husband. I started the car and let it run for a while to warm up (temperature is hovering in the minus mid teens C. Not one to ever just sit still, I started cleaning the snow and ice off the driveway. A half hour later, I'm on a roll, turn off the car, and keep scraping ice.
By the time I was done, it was too late to do a quick shopping trip and be home in time for my date. I also fed the birds. They have scolded me this past week as the temperatures plunged, the snow piled up, and their natural food supply disappeared.
Did I really just clean my driveway instead of going shopping?
My sore back is already affirming my stupidity. Ah, but the birds will be happy and reward me with their antics outside my front window.

I'm sure the birds will be very grateful for your thoughtfulness. You may be grateful as well that you won't have to clear a path to leave for church Sunday AM or at least not as much since you did such a great job today. Sorry that your back is hurting. You can enjoy the birds outside your window while you let your back rest. :o)
