Really, really slow. Lots of ice, water and slush. My feet were soaked. That was cold!

Didn't feel the back too much during.

Lots to do today.

√ 1) Come back to office where I didn't spend much time last week (but my desk is a mess) and clean a little.

√ 2) Prepare afternoon meeting.

√ 3) Drive to meeting with co-worker and make sure the Man in the nice sweater explains everything there is to know to Mister Newbie.

√ 4) Drive back to town in the mix of snow and rain that make the roads kinda not inviting.

√ 5) Run in those crappy conditions?! Maybe aquajog. We'll see with the partner.

√ 6) Eat

√ 7) Avenged Sevenfold concert! :)

Rest day that will consist of some shoveling, shoveling, and some more. ;)
Yup, lots of shoveling indeed. Dunno wtf my back wants, but it's not cooperating AT ALL. Maybe related to LOTS of hours in the car this week or bad posture, dunno... :( (and for the record, yes the achey back was there before the shoveling)

In other news, the Man in the shirt is on the road today. Going to Montreal again, hoping it'll be a bit faster and easier on the roads. Tonight is Rise Against as well with the cousin, should be a blast! :)

AA's exercises for shoulders.

-09:10- Snow countdown since yesterday : 13 inches, and it's still falling.

Didn't sleep well. I'll go swim in a little. Life got a bit in the way yesterday, 9 hours in the car leave less time for other things...

I dream about (assuming I can have a good quality sleep) having 3 days off to just sleep, eat, nap, eat again before going back to bed. :)

December 9

Sad day in provincial politics. Same ol', same ol'.

The Man in the suit is on the road today. The 2 1/2h drive should be interesting with a potential snow storm announced. Almost forgot, gotta be back for a 6h30pm hockey game... Scratch that.  It was a 4 hour drive and 5 hours to come back home...
