I'm actually happy with the storm; it keeps us from going out and wasting money and eating junk. We were prepared for it, so we got everything we needed to stay busy today. I'm on to daughter #3's bedroom; we painted all the trim and the ceiling so it's ready to have the walls painted tomorrow. After that I cleaned up a desk with some restoring polish. It's a Land's End desk that retails fro $750. We bought it at a Salvation Army for $70. Add in a light bulb and the polish and all total I spent $80 and it looks almost like new.

After painting and desk restoration I turned to the storm. A good hour of shoveling was a great workout. I went back out again after dinner for another half hour right when it turned over to freezing rain. Tomorrow it's supposed to turn to straight rain so I hope all my shoveling pays off and my driveway ends up completely clear for Monday.
Anyway, I'm doing well but at some point I need to start thinking about weight loss. One day and one thing at a time! Day #48 is in the books, on to Day #49.
Stay Strong!
