It snowed all day, and for much of the day it was a snow apocalypse. When I went to the village, I had a scare going up the hill with a cliff on my right side because I started skidding. But I made it. On the way home, on the same hill, I passed two trucks that had slid off the road and into the ditch on the uphill side of the road.
Dave’s flight from Costa Rica was cancelled and so I spent part of the day trying to find someone to come and feed Sheba at noon tomorrow. And I read. The miracle was that I passed the day without a nap. That is a first for a long, long time.
We didn’t do an afternoon walk. I could not face trudging through deep snow. It would seriously exhaust me and put a strain on my heart, so we just chilled all day. She did get some play time with Sosa from next door, so that was good.
The day just flew by. I am both happy and lucky that I thrive in solitude. I’m so happy that my self-imposed house arrest is not challenging for me. I just LOVE being at home with the pets and the fire in Winter, and the gardens in Summer. My love of this house and island has been constant and extreme since moving here.
There was more snow through the night. We are covered in a very thick carpet of white. There will be no walking of Her Highness today. I shall hope all day that the snowplows work today to clear the roads so that tomorrow I can get to the ferry to go to the hospital.
Suddenly I am certain something will be revealed by these tests. I no longer think there is any possibility that they will not find the cause. Carrying wood in this morning, what with all the snow, was brutal. That’s what convinced me a cause will be found.
