Weekend 17: February 26 - 27, 2022 Day 117: February 26, 2022 Saturday - Shoveling Day It's another cold morning. Like in the past few days, it has been snowing a lot that it came to the point that it almost covered my apartment windows.  That's why I decided to spend my day shoveling it before it completely covers the whole side of my apartment and I die of carbon monoxide poisoning.  Did some cleaning in my room ...and also my living room After 5 hours of back-breaking shoveling, I decided that I had done enough. There was still plenty of snow left but I was already exhausted. Hopefully, it gets warmer in the next few days so that the snow would melt on its own.  Breakfast for today Regardless, I believe that I had removed a significant amount of snow that will take days of continuous snowfall before it gets covered with the same amount of snow.

Weekend 16: February 19-20, 2022 Day 110: February 19, 2022 Saturday: Rumoi City Weekend Walks Good morning everyone! It's a fine cold day today here in Rumoi City. It only means one thing... It's a perfect day to stroll around Rumoi City.  Souvenir Shop Okatteya Moe It's my first time to see Kazumochan change the diapers of her baby Can you spot Kazumochan inside the vault? Kazumochan - Rumoi City's mascot The first place that I visited today was the  おみやげ処 お勝手屋 萌 or  Souvenir Shop Okatteya Moe which also serves as the  Rumoi Information Center  near JR Rumoi Terminal . Just to share, this building was formerly a bank that's why  you'd see the city mascot Kazumochan inside a bank vault.  Rumoi River   in   Winter From there, I circled and headed back toward my neighborhood to check the Rumoi River . During my latest visit, the river was already frozen over and won't be easily identified had you not known it was there.  Grocery shopping in Maxvalu Rum
