Things learned today…

Well here Sara and I are in our first winter in the new house. We are slowly learning about the quirks of our home and the things that happen here during the shifts of season.

I learned today that my shit is not nearly as soft as it used to be. As I was walking up the driveway this afternoon I took a fucking dive. Right square on my old man hip and elbow I fell. I am now tighter than a bolt in a square hole…

Next I learned that due to the incline of my driveway, coupled with a touch of slush…your car will slide out of the driveway! I took some groceries out of the back of the car and thought I heard someone coming up the cul-d-sac, turning I witnessed my car sliding out of the drive!!!

Luckily nothing was damaged, the car was in park, all is good. What this did though was remind me that things happen in a flash, and when we least expect them.

Be safe in this season of weather related chaos. Remember that taking your time, being wise, and patient may just pay dividends in the future.

I know I will be resting my bones these next few days…
