Vegas Baby!!!!

A funny thing happened when I asked a Travel Agent, how much to Vegas.
I got a great deal and I fly out on Monday.

It kinda sucks I have to pay Double Occupancy with nobody to travel with me... Now if one of the ladies I have been hitting on over the last few months happened to show up wouldn't hurt my feelings. But let's be honest they couldn't say yes to a cup of coffee so it's time to change venues.

A trip on my own may be exactly what I need to reset.

Rough week ending on a good note

Well I knew going into this week it was going to be heavy. Mike had 10.7 hours on the books planned for me and I got most of it done. I have to find a pattern for the daily stretching as that hasn't gone well, one day good, two bad. There was a run planned after a night shift and OH man that was wild... the body and mind were having a Battle Royal as to staying awake or passing out. I slept real good once I got home... I missed my turn and took the long way home. I got up that same day and tried to go swimming and dumb college kids were being punks in the lanes so I left and got to work early and had bites of my second breakfast in between my co-workers asking questions.

So I thought it was one bad day out 7 but other people had a different perspective. I guess they think I am mad when I am quiet. OOps onto another week.

Kamloops


So I took off a while back to go skiing at Sunpeak's Resort outside of Kamloops. The hill is not as tall or steep as Sunshine but it had very nice wide runs that were great for cruising on. I spent the day with my younger Cousin who is going to school there. We had a good day, I had the only crash on the day. There was "the easy way out" cross the run that we were on and I didn't realize until it was too late that it formed a bit of a jump. Those that ski with me know I haven't figured out how to stick the landing yet. So yep I landed almost caught myself but a tip or edge grabbed and took me for another ride. I landed on my hip and my head bounced off the packed snow and dazed me for a bit. Lets just say the rest of the run I thought about that helmet that was sitting on my boot rack in calgary.... dumb I say dumb.

I had decided to get there by Greyhound might as well let someone else do the driving so I can catch up on my sleep as I was going on nightshifts when I got back. Well it was a good thing I did because on the way back the snow over the mountain pass was insane. The snow plows had not come out yet but the bus kept going, at 80kph though and an hour late... but least I didn't have to drive :)
