Dairy of a snow shoveler

DIARY OF A SNOW SHOVELER

December 8:
6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first snow of the season and
the wife and I took our ****tails and sat for hours by the window,
watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like
a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I
love snow!

December 9:
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering
every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a
more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea
I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a
boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This
afternoon the snow plow came along and covered up the
sidewalks and closed the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a
perfect life!

December 12:
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment.
My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white
Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have
so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow
again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man. I'm
glad he's our neighbor.

December 14:
Snow, lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to
*20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath
away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This
is the life! The snowplow came back this
afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have
to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in
shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15:
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought
snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the
freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes
out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16:
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the
driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an
hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17:
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere.
Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to
stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to
irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit
it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm
freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20:
Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the **** stuff
last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Freakin' snowplow came by
twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're
too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only
hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're
out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying.
Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me.
I think he's lying.

December 21:
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of
the white **** fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt
till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all
dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I
got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel.
Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the
winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the ******* is lying.

December 23:
Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me
to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is
she...nuts??? Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She
says she did but I think she's **** well lying.

December 24:
6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought
I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a ***** who
drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls. I
know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling
and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws
snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to
sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was busy
watching for the freakin' snowplow.

December 25:
Merry Christmas. 20 more inches of the @#$%^& slop tonight.
Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God I hate the
snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I
hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad
attitude. I think she's an idiot. If I have to watch "It's a
Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to kill her..

December 26:
Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all
HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves..

December 27:
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze.

December 28:
Warmed up to above-50. Still snowed in. THE ***** is driving me
crazy!!!

December 29:
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could
cave-in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he
think I am??

December 30:
Roof caved in. The snow plow driver is suing me for a million
dollars for the bump on his head. The wife went home to her mother.
9" predicted..

December 31
Set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling!

January 8:
I feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep
giving me. Why am I tied to the bed??
