Is it quiet? No!

You'd have thought that with a broken collar bone life would slow down. It doesn't really feel like it has! Aside from the fact it seems to be recovering at a ridiculous rate (thanks body/god/those who pray for me), it still means I don't feel comfortable hopping back on a snowboard yet. A wise decision, I know! (must be getting old)

But tonight I; finished work at 4.30, went and had a shower, then did some washing up, then moved to somewhere with wifi and then got started on minor life-admin. So far I've:
Posted several things up for sale
Messaged some friends back
Advertised our Modern Jive Dance Class (blog regarding this coming soon!)
Researched another snowboard - vitally important, obviously

Which, when you list it, is a very short list, but I can assure you, it took far longer to do than to type!

I also found and listened to some new music and watched the SEMA Battle of the Builders - not very interesting if you're not into cars. And dad, NO it has nothing to do with bricks/mortar/cement. I can smell your bad jokes a mile off!

I sold a snowboard yesterday too, which is progress.

Have a photo:
A. it's snowing. B. This is a restaurant. How cool is that building? I want to do a Grand Designs type conversion on it (but without it taking a decade and costing 4x my budget!)

    If that building has no heating then I guess it's very cool right now. Shouldn't have primed me for a dad-joke. ;-)

    Glad you're recovering - just make sure you're recoverED enough before restarting.

Happiness Project

The Happiness Project is a book I started reading a while ago, I guess you might call it a self-help  book. I call it a 'book I found in a book exchange that looked interesting when I was desperate for reading material'. Sorry it's not more significant Gretchen Rubin! The first couple of 'months' were easy to get through, but then it started to drag. We're so VERY different, her and I. I am already 'chasing my dreams', but my dreams are far, far different from those of a 40+ year old woman with 2 children who used to be a lawyer and is now a writer. In New York of all places. (sounds a smidge cliche). And I'm a 30 year old trying to be a professional bike instructor/guide living in a converted van in small ski town in Canada. She's made some good points though, and you should all be happy because, despite her busy lifestyle, she finds time to blog every day. Now, I've not actually bothered looking for her blog, but the fact she can fit

Bit tired...

I kind of understand, but mostly don't get why just after Christmas is busier than Christmas itself. Yesterday in rentals was busy, today was MENTAL. So, I no longer work in Lift-ops here in Revelstoke. Lets just call it a misunderstanding/miscommunication/massive screw up shall we? #notjobstoked Fortunately I had a part time job in rentals - like working in a grocery store, not something I had planned to do this winter. Not as bad an alternative though, and the rental team/managers have been awesome. I'm working enough hours to keep me going and will be full time there very soon. When I was part time it was EASY, the days I worked in there, nothing seemed to happen. Turns out that was just pre-Christmas, and now we're really busy. Not quite 'Whistler' levels of busy, but not far off for such a little store! On the bright side, at least I'm not in boot fitting. Those guys have days that make mine look pretty easy. Today was 7:45-5:15, but there it could have

I'm now broken (again)

Image
Canada, while being a great place, seems rather detrimental to my health. Last winter I got too sendy on a jump, cleared the landing and landed flat from 3-4m up. Broke the cartilage that holds one of my ribs to my sternum. In the summer I hit a tree and broke my pinky. Not too bad you think, well, look at the x-ray. Hopefully you never see a pinky as smashed up as that again! I'm not sure how many pieces of bone that is, but at least 4, plus an Ex-Fix and 2 pins. Now, both these crashes were my own fault. I felt annoyed and put out and frustrated, but in reality, I only had myself to blame. Then this morning, some inconsiderate *insert rude word* (my Granny reads this blog!) falls off the piste I am passing on a cat-track into the 10' gap between myself and the skier ahead of me. Giving me, what, 6' to dodge him? Unsurprisingly, I failed and smashed into him at speed. As I hit the floor I hear *crack*, think, 'I don't like that sound' but it f
