January Doldrums

I am considering rearranging some furniture. And cleaning. And finishing packing away the Christmas decorations. Once they make it down to that room in the basement it's anyone's guess how long it will actually take until they are properly put away. And shoveling that crusted over pile of chunky snow off of the end of my driveway that the freaking snowplow deposits there! Is there a specific word for that crusty pile of snow? I have four decrepit bananas that would make some lovely banana walnut bread if I could just get inspired to bake. The 16yo just sneezed quite vociferously. I would prefer that he does not share his cold with me. At any rate, I have probably already been exposed. He likely thinks his sniffles will get him off snow shoveling duty. He's probably right. And I'll probably make him chicken soup to boot. And knocking me out of my winter doldrums, there he was, the scowling yet gorgeous Kyle Chandler in the return of Friday Night Lights just an hour ago. He almost makes me care about football.
