Saturday the 11th of February

It occurred to me that I have not been adulting well lately.  Adulting-I wonder how long before that word enters the dictionary.   There are things that I get done and those that I wait to do until I have to, much like a child or adolescent.   I am sure there are people that I know that feel my wanting to hike the Trail is not the most mature thing I have decided to do.  Sometimes I agree.  :)  Other times I look at everything I need to do just to start and I am overwhelmed, but know that getting there is an adulting step forward.  I am 52, why am I even concerned about this?  I don't know.  This is my Blog and it seems to be more and more like a journal so sharing is what I will do.

As for happy things for today... I came home to a plowed driveway this morning!  It was snowing again though and I cleared that out with a little bit of help from my neighbor.  Unfortunately I missed the birthday party today because of work.  I got there, but after everyone had left.  I visited for a few minutes before heading out again.  This morning my phone managed to fall out of my pocket into the yard of my daughter.  I went the whole day without the phone.  I am not sure how I managed without, but I have it back now, phew!  ;)  Isn't it odd how we are so tied to these devices.  Had I needed to call anyone, I doubt I could have found a phone booth!

I lost my phone and so I didn't have it to take lots of pictures.  I took this one after getting gas tonight.
