List just one thing you did today

Up to 3.5 hours of shoveling for others so far today (2.5 before work plus 1 hr lunch break). Lost count of homes, just know I've got a whack of them left this evening. Had another large dump.

Charging the battery bank and expansion battery. Taking the electric blower out with me this evening for the wife to use on driveways while I hand shovel the rest.

6.25 hours total. My arms are trashed.

Walked our giant mall, it was packed. Singing songs by cute as pie kids in a concert by Macy's. All ages out enjoying themselves. l go to the mall during holidays for the light show.
 
Today I eat breakfast in a restaurant and I decided to bring Glinda

Got dragged to the annual Light/Santa parade, which I hate because it is too busy and too loud. It was also -25C wind chill and wife did not have adequate clothing so she was angry about that and I got an earful over it on the walk home.
 
(From yesterday.)

I enjoyed walking on my walking pad for a mile while my aging dog rested comfortably beside me. We used to do our long walks together, outdoors, but now we can do them together indoors and I can do all the walking.
 
Made ham stock with the bone left over from the Thanksgiving spiral cut ham. I'll use the stock to make 16 bean soup over the Christmas holidays.
 
Got shoved into a position where I had to deal with my mother-in-law's surgeon because my wife dumped it on me with almost no notice. Probably because I'm somewhat strong-willed and difficult to roll over in a conversation, which he tried. He's now releasing her to an acute care ward as requested. I suppose the patient having a relative with a scary knowledge of how professional liability works for medical professionals is helpful.
 
Made sure my Medicare part D plan was in place with the same coverage as last year, except for the costs the government raised. The deadline was 12/7.
