Awoke to find the roof in the back room (my home office) leaking via the ceiling fan. It's like that Three Stooges episode where they cross the wiring with the plumbing. And no, I didn't flip the switch. Just fetched a bucket. Am told it's doubtful that homeowners insurance will cover it, since it's under that flat-roofed portion of the house (the front of the house has a peaked roof). And even if it does, the deductible is likely huge. So either way, we gotta get it fixed. Hopefully a patch will be sufficient.
Dug out the driveway, again, this morning. Plus, the back door was snowed in by a drift, and the dog was walking around with her legs crossed because for some reason she won't urinate outside the FRONT of the house. So walked thru 3-foot drifts to the back gate, dug that out, and then the back door so Canny can go out.
Them while Cecily and Tori were outside digging out the car I heard Cec say "Oh FUCK!" and then Tori wailing. Never good. Turns out Cec accidentally caught Tori with a swing of the shovel. Tori's OK, just looks a little like a boxer, with a cut over her left eye. Fortunately we have a couple of first-aid kits, including coagulant. No hospital necessary. An ice pack and a cup of hot chocolate seem to have done the trick.
Have I mentioned how much I hate this winter?
Believe it or not SPRING is 37 days away.....
Another day closer to paradise old friend.
