I loaded garbage and dirty clothes into my truck and with dreams of town food, headed to town. I didn’t get far. If I could just get past my gate I could make it. It froze last night and I thought it might be easier to go through the snow when it was frozen but maybe I’m wrong. It might be that this afternoon I will try when the snow is more slushy. Disappointment reigns, for a brief moment I was like another person– a person who could get in a pickup and drive somewhere.
