girl has burst of feminine energy while snowed in

It's a funny thing about snow: it looks pretty and calm as it's coming down, it makes one feel cozy to be indoors, and it can brighten an otherwise dreary winter day. Then one looks at one's car, and around one's car, and the inner adult wonders whether to go shovel out now or wait awhile longer. Over the past few years, one of the guys in my building or in the next building will offer to dig out my car for me, but none showed up this year. I don't know why. So I did it myself. I bundled up, went out, dug my car out and got all the snow off the top and sides AND shoveled the sidewalk in front of all the cars AND shoveled the walkway from the building to the sidewalk. The snow was light and fluffy, and it wasn't as cold as I expected (or else I had layered really well), so it wasn't that bad, and it was a good hour workout, which I needed. I'm feeling it now in my back and shoulders, but it's a good reminder that there is not a Helpless Female living in my condo thank you very much. Yes, I am still a bit smug about this. It'll wear off soon.
