65/366 | Spring Skiing
So far, we have had the fresh powder day, snow day, cold and windy day. And, for both yesterday and today, it has been total spring skiing days. I have never experienced such warm and pleasant 3-4pm skiing with that much snow. Since the snow was not quite so soft, we took frequent breaks, and took it easy. What great 4 days we’ve had at Crested Butte.
This was our last day skiing here. Tomorrow, we head back to East Coast. It’s sad that my dream ski trip to CB is coming to an end. However, there is that furry little dude, waiting for us at the end of the trip. It’s not bad!

62/366 | Butternut schnapps + hot chocolate
We enjoyed powder skiing right from 9am. After a couple of hours, my legs needed some good rest. At a mid-mountain outside bar called Uley’s Cabin, I enjoyed this warm drink that the bartender made for me.

58/366 | In A Hurry
Such a busy day at work. Even going to the bathroom, I did it in a hurry. It is always like this before Vacation. My mind was elsewhere, a lot, also. Some terrible thing has happened to one of our friends, and seeing her cry the night before made me all shaken. It was hard to be productive.

20/366 | Dining Out
We are fortunate to have some really good restaurants within walking distance. I was taken out to one of them tonight by P for belated birthday dinner. Deliciousness overload.

19/366 | Birthday
– After-work dinner with a good friend of mine, her husband, and their cutie-pie 2.5 year old daughter.
– A 45-minute walk with the super-excited dog in a park.
– Drinks with 2 high-quality people at a bar on the hill.
– Snow (1 of my 2 favoritest things in this world) falling steadily meanwhile.
– P later joining and writing this on my car. -
18/366 | On-Street parking
What I saw this morning, on my street. I don’t have an off-street parking space so this is what I risk every day.
My new car (a year old) has already been scraped, dented, cracked several times. I haven’t even fixed the latest damages in a while. What’s the point, I say to myself. Someone’s going to damage the body again anyway, sooner or later…

17/366 | Babies R Us
Baby rush around me continues. Probably because I have not had, and won’t be having any kids of my own, I find it a bit intimidating to go into those stores, but I had to today to get baby shower gifts. I normally get stuff that is not on lists, at small local stores or online, but this time, I felt lazy and just went with the registry.
Purple purple everywhere. I wonder what that color represents, for the business. It sure didn’t calm my nerves.

14/366 | My weekends
My weekends used to be about relaxing, enjoying music, movies, drinks, food, and friends.
Now, they are about making K-dog happy, in the way we can’t on work days. That’s the first thing that I plan when I wake up on Saturdays and Sundays. That’s one thing that I want to make sure get done on each of the two weekend days. The more puppy smiles and tail wags I see, the better I feel about the weekend.
Today we went to his favorite dog park. It was pretty cold, but we stood there, happily, and watched K run around with other dogs, for a long time.

12/366 | Pour
Super rainy day. Coupled with what’s going on in another area of my life these days, it made me feel a bit blue.
Even on the day like this, though, I would love it if my office had some windows.

11/366 | Post Office
I like my post office building. It’s old, it’s grand, and voices echo. It feels like the time moves slowly in it. It’s like I’m in very old films. Maybe it’s just me, but unlike at more modern post office buildings, people seem more patient and courteous, even when the lines are as long, and the facility as short-staffed.

10/366 | Cleaning Day
It was a cleaning day.
When P moved in, we had frequent arguments about cleaning. I noticed the mess and dirt more, so I was always cleaning more. It was unfair. After a lot of unpleasant quarrels, we decided to set a monthly cleaning day. This is the day we both spend some hours vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing ( the bathtub), etc. Because the place is quite small, this works.
I still get irritated toward the end of the monthly cleaning cycle when I start seeing some accumulation of dust. Only because I know that the cleaning day is coming up, I’m able to let it go and wait.
