Snow Day!!!

February 22nd, 2008

Yes!!

I woke up at 3AM, because the plow was going by, and again at 6AM, and made my phone call to work and knocked around in my pjs until noonish. Then, we suited up, waxed the skis for the first time in 2 years (last year I had my bilateral mastectomy, and wasn’t allowed to ski), and went out there, and did lovely & grueling cross-country skiing. Am I worried that I’m gonna have a lymphedema problem later today? YES. And how. But it felt great to be out there, falling on my ass in the backyard. :-)

We’re totally crappy skiers, and this is mostly due to the once-yearly snowfalls that began the year we bought skis. Basically, we used to have wall-to-wall snow from January to March, and now we get snow once a season, maybe twice. Thanks, global warming. I think the timing is pretty ironic, considering the ski purchase, but hey—the bright side is, our skis and boots and poles are lasting FOREVER.
