mailgirl ice capades

i am so glad that's over with.
most of last week was spent watching every single step i took .
there were no safe places to step.
the driveways..ice
the lawns...ice
the sidewalks..more ice
the porches..still more ice.
one big glacier for miles and miles..
i kept waiting for an escort from scott hamilton or michelle kwan.

i didn't even get to wear a nifty sequinned outfit and too much eye makeup.
i did think of will ferrell quite a bit though.

i went down a few times but mostly did that little spazzy-i'm- gonna -fall manuver about 10 zillion times. think dick vandyke entering his living room.
i walked along as gingerly as a gramma post hip replacement surgery ( no offense mom).
as i made my less than graceful way from house to house my only thought was:i hope no one is watching this.
as i drove home for lunch, i passed a fellow mail carrier doing the same painstaking shuffle across a lawn. i actually slowed down to see first hand just how awful it looked. it looked awful. (sorry jim r.)
tomorrow, the temps are going to be arctic with winds up to 35mph..but as long as the glacier is gone, i'm good.
