Damn you snow...

Today, Alaska's White Beast reared its ugly head...As I was ever determined to clear the 3' x3' space covered in ICE that has been blocking me in from using my back door --visualizing all my frustration at deployment, and harnessing all my independent female prowess, and hacking away inch by inch--I accomplished 3/4's of my goal. After an hour an a half, the door now opens 3/4 of the way. Exhausted and frustrated, but still very proud, I idly pulled at some ice near the deck railing...it cut me. A damn icicle cut me! My finger to be exact...Not deep mind you, but enough to require some Neosporin and a band-aid. (Sigh.) Today I call it a tie, ALASKA SNOW..One day, I will beat you. One day.
