It was around 4:00 in the afternoon when I looked at my watch and saw the date. Even then it took me awhile to realize what was special about Februaury 14th. I take pride in remembering birthdays, so the 14th sounded familiar. Then it hit me. Not once did I hear anyone mention it or did I see any signs or specials in the stores. Happy Vaneltine's everybody.
When I went to bed, I wasn't sure what my plans would be today. I hadn't purchased my lift ticket, so it wasn't a sure thing that I would ski. But my legs felt ok, so I decided on a short day. I got on the first lift at 11:00 and skiied for a little over 4 hours. I had a decent fall on the last run that shook me a bit. Usually, I just lose my balance and give in to falling. I find that it hurts less if you don't fight it. This fall however was not by choice. With all the head injuries that seem minor but aren't, barely bumping your head on the ice kinda scares me. I really like skiing, but I know I would be better if I wasn't afraid of getting hurt all the time. I'll probably take the day off tomorrow and go to the village for a hot chocolate.
