USTA Rules state that you only have one week to make up a match or you have to forfeit. My opponent was going to Hawaii, so I had my match early, but the rest of my team only has a few days to make up their match. Unfortunately, all the courts in Oconnee County are still covered in ice. Yesterday, the girls helped Natasha and I clean ice off the Lane Creek Courts for hours... Then when I got home, I realized I still needed to shovel my icy driveway. Every time I'd make headway, a huge chunk of ice would slide off my roof and mess up the part I just cleaned. Whew, I wouldn't have run that morning if I knew I was gonna be shoveling ice all day! I was surprised that I wasn't even sore when I woke up this morning. I read somewhere that it's even more important to stretch after hard work than before. I had remembered that and stretched after I finished all that shoveling. Maybe that made the difference?
It was 4:30 and I was ready for bed, but I still had to do the grocery shopping. Because of all this bad weather and not being able to make it to the store, our cupboards were getting bare. I picked up a Valentine's cookie kit for the girls for after dinner. Keith had to work yesterday, so he picked up Chinese on the way home! We had a nice Valentines Day and slept well last night! Well, at least until we felt the house shake at around 10:30pm. I thought it was just another layer of ice and snow sliding off the roof, but turns out it was an earthquake! Crazy weather we're having... snow boots one day, flip flops the next, then back in snow boots again... now an earth quake? Whats next, swarms of locusts???
