eve_primeNot the greatest wedding anniversary, but we're safe, and warm, and fed. I went outside when D was leaving to visit S. J came down the driveway slowly, carefully, using a big stick, and D went to J's porch and got himself a stick too. After D had gone, J and I went to my backyard to see the poor tattered scarlet oak. The weeds were surprisingly interesting when coated with ice, and it was fun to photograph them.
I then went inside to make my breakfast. J headed home to work on the hot tub awning, which was a mess with ice. He phoned me for my input, which was a mistake, as the sounds of whatever he was doing with the ice were painful over the phone and triggered a headache, so I ended up spending most of the rest of the day in bed. I read a lot and had a nap too.
I had wanted to visit his house but it was probably for the best that I didn't feel up to trying, as I could easily have gotten injured, and going to an urgent care center would have been quite a challenge. D surprised me by returning from S's house around 5 pm, so at least I had some company here.
We expect one more day of ice - tomorrow we'll be getting more freezing rain and/or snow. They do assure us that Wednesday will be considerably warmer.
