The Life Hangover

CANADA | Sunday, 2 May 2010 | Views [542]

It kinda is what it is... a hangover from the Olympics, Paralympics, and Telus World Cup. the snow is melting, there is big gaps of green amongst the white on the hills I imagine that you have to pick your path through the snow pretty carefully when up there now. I haven't been up there now for a couple weeks, and in fact I have put my board away for the summer and pulled out my bike... yes my bike!
I am sorry I haven't written in here for a while. I just have not been able to sit down and concentrate... has been a bit of a weird last month or so... I was busy in some ways but not in others.
The Paralympics, now that was amazing, people everywhere but not as tight on security, it was cool cos the athletes were about all the time and you could talk to them :) I managed to get to a medals ceremony one night. but that was it, work was still busy and I was tired from the 2 and half weeks of Olympic stuff... along with the whole of Whistler I guess.
Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival was awesome, it came and went pretty quick the shows that were on were awesome, the entertainment along the village stroll was cool too. I got to see a show called 3 Point 0 and it was about presentations done on the computer, it was pretty cool what people did with photography, music, movies, and anamation.
I took David and Marina up the hill snowboarding, which was awesome... I think I kinda got them hooked LOL they bought snowboards when they got home and are sayin they are gonna go do a lot more next winter and spend some more time with me! woot! we had a blast, my snowboarding has come together nicely and I am cruising now down green runs and I am also game to hit up a blue run too here and there as long as there is someone with me... yeah my head is still freaking out a bit when it comes to speed and what not I dont wanna break myself again this winter!
Well, the last couple weeks has been pretty cruisy, I got the bike out last week and have been riding everywhere since, has been good times. I ride to and from work, I ride around the village, and I get sore legs lol! but they are starting to get used to it hehe.
I guess you guys want to know about my elbow hey.... I am doing physio twice a week now and think that given another 4-6 weeks I will be fine with out the physio... it has been taking a while as I have problems with the ligaments in there arent healing very well. I get the odd sore day, and I just try to take it easy with it.. but on the positive side, I can bend it and almost get it straight! woot... but I cant play volleyball or netball this summer! :( so I been relegated to riding, swimming, running, and floating around on a boat in a lake... it cant all be bad eh? lol
work is slow... everyone is leaving... going home, traveling the world, or just going elsewhere.. its kinda sad really, we make friends but they all leave within a few months.. its hard to keep making new friends all the time...
I have made the decision of going to California for the summer, well 2 weeks of it anyways... gonna go do San Francisco, Las Angeles, and San Diego... cant wait! will be so good to explore it all. check out Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, Golden Gate Bridge, Universal Studios :) I promise to take photos :)
Hopefully after that I will get excited about Whistler again... has been a bit boring and stuff lately! nothing is happening anymore we have our little town back, where nothing is happening!
I still haven't decided what Im going to do next winter, I have to just chill I think I might get excited again about the snow when it comes back in October/November. I still got a lot to do here up this end of the world before I go home with out any regrets! I got things keeping me here too...
Well enough ramblings from me for now, Love to all.
