Blogaversary

I haven't printed a book of my blog for a few years now, but they were having a sale that I just could not say no to. Plus not writing as much saves some money too so I was able to print the last two years very economically. While looking back at dates I realized that the end of February will mark 11 years of blogging for me. I know many of you have been blogging much longer, so congrats to all of us as we near or have passed our milestones.

I am trying to type this on a new tablet I bought before Christmas.  I could probably do better on my phone! It's a 10-inch 2-in-1 tablet which means you can use an attachable keyboard or just go with the touch screen. It had great reviews but I didn't read enough to realize it isn't HD, which I am very spoiled by on my other tablets.

The keyboard is obviously tiny but also glitchy and not smooth in scrolling. It's not as fast as anything else I have. But it has more storage than anything else I have, so that is its saving grace. I brought it with me for my week sittings job just to see if I could get by without an actual computer. I can do anything on it, but just slower.

I swear the weather Gods hate me! The two times we've had heavy snow I've been staying here. Five inches of heavy wet stuff that I can only carry one shovel full at a time. I can only do it for 20 minutes a at a time because my back is screaming, and I just want to cry. A neighbor was using his riding plow but didn't offer to help, even after we waved and exchanged pleasantries. That did not help the tear factor. Bit by bit I got it done in 3 days. Then it warmed up and has melted so much, you can't even tell it snowed.

The homeowner called me Friday night and asked if I could stay a few extra days and although I am sympathetic (his Mom died) I had already booked a dog at home that I need to be there for. These sitting jobs are wearing me out. So I was home by 5:15 last night and in bed by 9.
