Oh, and 5 runs this morning on crappy snow made for some serious exercise - I'm sore now.

Five runs in fresh powder

...pure heaven.

Twists and turns

Ok - I took a week off from snowboarding - it helped that it was raining - but my ankle still hurts. Oh well - I'm not staying off it all winter. I went up and took some runs this morning - beautiful.

Found an apartment for dad. Small studio in my friend's house. It will do for a while. Put him on the list for the local retirement home - which is BEAUTIFUL. He's 12th on the list, though, so it could be a while before his name comes up.

Getting ready to move him out of his house, then clean it up and start work on it so we can move in...except that I found out today that it was assessed for almost double what he told us. That could put a MAJOR kink in the works - as far as getting a mortgage goes. Well, maybe we'll rent it from him for a while. Bummer. Gotta make the move, though - found out that our landlord is looking at realtors - which means she's going to sell the house we're in and we'll have to find a place anyway. This sure is a roller coaster.

Gonna play hard, gotta pay the price

I went snowboarding this morning, like I've been doing every day this week. I take 3-4 runs then I go to work. Well, it's been a little icy, but I've been working on my speed and got some really great runs in yesterday.

This morning I got off the lift, there was about 2" of fresh powder (not much, but enough to cover the ice). I started off, gaining speed, having fun, then BAM! I don't know how I did it, but I was on a flat and I did a tumble-faceplant - bad enough that the guy behind me stopped to see if I was ok. My goggles came off, and when I stood up my ankle hurt. I thought I was going to have to heel down the entire mountain because it hurt to go onto my toe edge. I sat for a minute, pondering the situation. Then I got up, deciding to make the best of it. After a few minutes of carefully staying on my heel edge, I tested toe - not too bad. I was able to take slow, long turns and stick to an easier trail till I got to the bottom. Then I went to work - one lousy run, but I didn't want to push it.

Now I have a scrape on the bridge of my nose from my goggles, a swollen cheek, and a sore ankle. My boss said I should "get back on the horse" and go tomorrow - I will if my ankle feels ok. My new name here at work is Crash.

Gotta pay to play...
