A rest day

I was scheduled to work from 7:45 to 1, but it was really busy so I ended up staying until 2, then I asked my boss to leave and he said they needed extra help and he asked if I could come back at 3. Realizing that I should not repeat the events of the previous day I elected not to ski. Instead I went to one of the cafes and chatted with my mom for an hour. In the afternoon I worked the ski check which can be best described as a very high maintenance zoo. Who knew people could be so unappreciative. The last ski check I did though I did end up getting a tip, which made it all okay.

In the evening we had a family game night with the neighbors. We played a team game of Scrabble, 9 people, 4 teams (3 teams of 2 and 1 team of 3). It was a really good time, and Mike and I ended up winning with a score of 135. We are going to try to make game nights at least once a week.

Stubborn

Being stubborn thinking my very sore foot (remember the ski boot incident) was just fine I tried to ski after my shift at work. Jackson had opened another new lift (Sublette Quad, as well as the Tram) so I headed out to see what was left of the snow. The snow was mostly skied out, and it was bitter bitter cold out. While I was on the Sublette lift it stopped, in full wind, for a good 5 mins, I was very chilled by the time I got off the lift. In the end I was very cold and my foot ended up hurting so much that I was almost in tears. I gave up after only a few runs. Saddness...

In the evening, Mike, Brandon, AJ and I ended up playing Canasta. Brandon and I lost horribly, but it was still a fun time. I know you are laughing, we really are a bunch of old folks.
