The Streets Were So Abandoned, Yet So Calm

And still, my backyard is snowed in. No one had enough energy or will to get off their butts to shovel the backyard or excavate the car. Without much option, my family just stayed at home and we enjoyed the day together, snowbound. We watched a few things on demand such as Adventure Time and movies that my brother got from his new subscription to Netflix via Xbox. My siblings and I had a small breakfast of pandesal and hot chocolate together. It was delicioso :) As the day went on, I couldn't help but eat my life away. I was eating everything in the kitchen as if my life depended on it! I took about 2 naps throughout the day to try to regulate my eating, but it didn't work. As soon as I was awake, I was craving food, some kind of snack, preferably. I was also having problems breathing today. I wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with my excessive eating either! The greatest part of my day would have to be tonight. My siblings and I escorted mama to work, as we rode the light rail with her and walked all through the snow with her. My goodness, it was so cold outside that even before we left, I knew the best choice was to wear two jackets. It definitely paid off. We left around 5Pm
in order to get her there by 7PM. As soon as we left the house, we notices how abandoned and quiet the streets were. Cars were still snowed in, so I am sure that many households kicked back today just as mine did. The winds were fairly cold, but we all dressed appropriately. Because we were early, cold, and a bit hungry, we stopped by a Subway located right across the hospital. My sister and I got some well-deserved hot chocolate from the store next door. We dropped her off at work, sharing last minute goodbyes and made our way back. For some reason , my siblings tried to walk faster on the way back and it had me really trying to breath! ugh. The entire way back, I stayed dry and acceptionally warm. But when we finally reached home, my siblings and I went through the wrong, unshoveled, side. I was too lazy to go around so my brother and I braved the 3.5 feet snows. If one was careful enough, he didn't get too covered in snow. BUT, if you go by the name Stefanellie and your brother pushes you back to fall in, THEN you are covered in snow! Photos are from tonight's little journey.
