Today was rather awesome, mostly because of me ( Read more... )

The past few months have been about learning how to show love to the people in my life. Especially how to show that love without sex. It's been very nice ( Read more... )

Skiing came back on Friday. There are only two places where people greet me with the words "Welcome home," and that's why they are tattooed on my side ( Read more... )

I passed; I am now an auxiliary member of the National Ski Patrol. Hill training is next but when I pass that exam at the end of February I'll be a full member. It sounds fun in comparison to the last couple of months; my instructors seem excited about changing my mind ( Read more... )

I love that class though. It's like the ski season started three months early.

Maybe I'll have more complex thoughts after I sleep.

The OEC thing was definitely a good idea. Definitely ( Read more... )

Whoo. Finally got a hold of JJ today about National Ski Patrol training. I don't think I'll be teaching at all this winter so this should be a fun alternative. I missed the first meeting but that was just a rundown of the layout of the resort and basic supplies so neither of us thought that would be a problem. I'm sure I can adjust my work ( Read more... )
