Let it snow?

Let it snow?

Thursday morning I went to Brampton for a bunch of medical tests my doctor requested. The first was for an ultrasound. Iโ€™ve never had one before, and Iโ€™ve never been to this ultrasound clinic either. It was close to downtown and finding parking was a bitch as usual. The test was conducted by a middle aged Russian womenโ€ฆher accent was very strong, I didnโ€™t understand her all the time. The test wasnโ€™t painful in any way but I was *covered* in a cold gel. It was quite uncomfortable. She gave me the end of a roll of paper towels to wipe it off. It wasnโ€™t enough to do the job. Meh. My legs and chest were scanned. You could hear the audio of my bloodflow. It sounded like it was flowing okay to me. *shrug* Next was the bloodletting. Iโ€™ve done it before. The most irritating part is the wait. Hopefully nothing turns up. You donโ€™t seem to get a call if they donโ€™t find anything.

A storm was expected to arrive Friday, and it did in spades! The biggest snowfall in probably a decade. My first snowday in ages! And did it ever snowโ€ฆ I got up at 7am and it snowed all day through to late afternoon. I shoveled twice. It was exhausted. By the end of the day my body was giving me the what for. We took the dog snowshoeing in Edelweiss Park.. it was quite a trek trail breaking all that snow. Phew. A epson soak helped a bit. Iโ€™m still feeling some strainโ€ฆ

Skiing

Skiing

I took it easy Saturday since my body was in full revolt. Bdot visited her sister. I did some housework. Ho-hum. Today we finally got to Palgrave to ski! It feels like forever since weโ€™ve been able to ski. We took a pretty technical route. We skied for about one and a half hours. It was cool and sunny, the conditions were perfect. Interestingly this same section a few years ago completely turned me off skiing as I found it immensely frustrating. Today I found it enjoyable. Yes the dead vegetation along the trail snagged the ski poles all the time and it was annoyingโ€ฆ but overall it was fun and quite a workout.

Sadly our Winter fun wonโ€™t last. It is suppose to be above zero tomorrow. Goodbye snow.
