It snowed a lot in the past 24 hours. I was awakened at 3 am by the sound of a snow plow blade dragging on the pavement. Ugh!
The driver pulled forward to plow and then turned his head each time to back up. After two hours of this, he stopped to check his plow. I thought " his neck has to be killing him!"
I put on my late partner’s robe which is size XX huge and my snow boots and waddled to the next lot with a new can of medical-grade muscle relaxer. He started up his truck and I waggled my cane at him. “Your neck’s gonna be killing you when you’re done. This is what the physical therapists use," I said.
His huge smile confirmed his discomfort as I handed it to him and he said, “Merry Christmas!”
“ Happy New Year, “ I said as I carefully retreated to my apartment.
Still reflecting on that huge smile, but afraid that I would slip and break my other leg— I waddled back in the dark thinking, “I love spontaneous acts of kindness.” I crawled into bed and went back to sleep.
