I can sympathize. I finally got out of the driveway today for the first time in two weeks. I dropped bills off at the PO then headed to Kroger’s to stock up on human food and bird seed for the feeders. Then only sunflower seeds they had were in 20 pound sacks. My left hip joint was not ready to be wrangling groceries and 20 pound sacks up the still slippery hill leading to my front door, so I took the groceries in through the garage, which is the “walk out” part of my basement. I loaded up my wheel barrow with the groceries to get them through the garage to the basement stair landing. Then I took the wheelbarrow to the car and managed to wrestle the sack of birdseed into it, through the garage, and onto the landing. It took 3 trips up and down the basement stairs to get all the groceries into the kitchen. My lower back and hip are very angry with me right now. I don’t blame them!
I’m hoping I can finally get out of the driveway on Friday when the temp is supposed to be above freezing. I wish the NWS had never come up with the idea of “wind chill factor.” I can remember those days back in the 1970’s when the actual air temperatures were -24 degrees F.
