Shovelitis

That's right, not only am I a lyrical genius, a poet and so some the song bird of my generation I am also a linguist. For those of you not in the medical "know" Shovelitis is a serious and sometimes deadly "itis"
Let me break it down so we are all clear. Shovel derives from the Latin word "shovel" which means to shovel something. "itis" is fun and you add it to the end of words to make them sound important.
Now that we are clear I am suffering from shovelitis. Mother nature seems to have a sense of humour. She snows and blows for more then half the day and then in the last few hours of light decides to mix it up by raising the temperature and throwing in some rain. Now this would normally not bother me, except you see, I had not yet shoveled our driveway. Driveway is not a clear depiction, our "walmart parking lot" would be more accurate. So head lamp on, we tackle the monumental task of shovel water soaked snow.
The fact that I am writing this stands as a testament to the fact that I always win. Always. However, I am now suffering from "shovelitis" it's not that I want to shovel, it's just that I don't want to shovel anymore.
So that being said I won't, not today anyways, tomorrow is a brand new day.
Remember, take it one scoop at a time.

Peace and love
