Snow is fun and so is sarcasm

I am so physically tired. Thanks to the snow, there were many delayed buses, fewer buses on the roads, and completely full buses that kept passing me as I waited at the bus stop. Because of all that, I estimate that I walked around 6km today (in the snow), although it feels like a lot more than that, maybe because some portions of that were uphill... and it was all in the snow. Maybe I should multiply 6km by 1.5, because I speculate that I was moving 1.5 times slower than normal, and I believe I exerted 1.5 times more energy to move. So wow, I walked almost 10km today. Phew.

Thank you Jesus for giving me two feet, a healthy body with sufficient energy, and rubber boots. There's so much whomping snow. I wish I was young enough to enjoy it, but for now I will just continue to stare at the vast whiteness, reflect on the beauty, and grumble at the inconvenience. In my mind, I'm debating if the weather we've had for the past week is worse more than a 40°C heatwave... So far the heatwave is winning. Snow is fun.
