How pretty is the afternoon view from my living room?

I know.

I’ve been home from work today due to an annoying incident while I was sleeping that made my body decided to resort to complete anarchy and cause me blinding neck pain. My chiropractor claims it’s because I haven’t been a good girl and spent all my money on appointments. Who cares what he thinks, anyway.

Since I can’t drive a car, sit, lift my kids or do any housework (OK, it’s not all bad), I decided to watch four episodes of Bones and take the world’s longest walk to the grocery store down the road. No joke. It took me forty minutes to walk downhill to the store about one kilometer from my house, because of the insane amounts of snow on the sidewalks. Not that I’m complaining; my butt got a good workout and the air was cold and refreshing. And then there’s the view. No, I’m not complaining at all.

Hm. God bedring med nakken! Og jeg er litt misunnelig på deg som faktisk kan gå ute. En gang skal jeg også det.

Hm. Good change for the better along with the neck! And I’m a bit envious at you as actual able elapse out. At one time do be about I also facts.

Hi Keekaboo; thanks, I hope you’ll get better soon – and way to go on the online translation tool! I love the fact that even though I’ve read the original text in Norwegian, I can’t even begin to comprehend the English translation. Excellent work!

So…after hours of rearranging your bones, you watch Bones?!?!? I find that thought highly entertaining (I know, simple mind, right!).

Happy hiking!

…and that view is sweet…

Hi Lance; that is kind of ironic, isn’t it? I aim to entertain, as always, and it’s very encouraging to realize that I succeed in entertaining the simple minded

Laughing. Out. Loud.

Hahahahaha. Hehehehehehe.

So what’s the deal with your butt? How does having a stiff neck have anything to do with your butt getting a workout? Did you keep falling on it? That’s actually why I’m laughing. The pictures in my mind are just too funny.

And…

…How long did it take you to walk back up the hill?

Hi Dave; duh, waddling around in snow does wondersfor the butt. But I’m sure you wouldn’t know anything about that.
Actually, I hardly fell at all. And I prefer not to dwell on the hour I spent trying to get my butt back up the hill…

So, so jealous. Somehow the greyish sludge outside my door is quite doing it for me… It did take a similar amount of time to walk to the shop but that was mainly due to Son mock-cocking his leg at 10 second intervals whilst pretending to be a dog!

Hi; 1husband2kidsandlotsofbooks! Sadly, I am very familiar with the challenges of taking a child out for a “short” walk. Sigh. Thank you for coming by!

I am wondering how long it took you to walk up hill in the snow – though sometimes that is easier.

I am thinking about neck pain and wishing it away…heat, cold alternating…never very fun…
Feel better quickly please

Hi Patricia; it took slightly more time – but nowhere near as much as I thought it would! Thank you for the good wishes, they helped! I feel much, much better and can move my head several inches to the right!

Hi Jannie; I’m very, very happy with that view. And don’t go giving me attitude about my drooling, when your whiskers clearly are way weirder

Hi Vered; thank you for coming by! I guess we don’t appreciate what we have, huh? I would love to see the scenery over there with my own eyes!

Hi Vikum; I love it too. It’s quite breathtaking when you stop and take it all in. I really wish I would just get out the door more often! Thank you for visiting!

Hi J; thank you, I feel much better! I think I’ll have to give it a few more trips to the chiropractor, though – and some good old fashioned time…
