"I can't go today" whine thread...

[diymom]

When I finished up just before dark our total was maybe 10 inches. And got my timing right, I was out when the plow came by and he asked if I wanted him to clear out the end of my driveway for me
Now time to pour that glass of wine and sit by the fire DH made while I was out shoveling with DD.

Just finished clearing paths, digging out cars and doing clean up after the plow. Still can't go skiing because underneath that snow is a thin layer of icy slush. My driveway is now a luge run.

WHAT?!? Can you send him to Western Mass to take a job in my city? How wonderful!

@Tvan I feel your pain! We have no slush up here; getting very cold.

Guess what? More snow coming.

I couldn't ski this weekend because it is Girl Scout Cookie season. My daughter and I were at booth sales for 10 hours this weekend. However, the ski gear got good use keeping me warm when it was 15 degrees last night.

This is an preemptive whine: I can't go skiing tomorrow because I brought my new skis to the shop to have the bindings put on. I forgot that the shop now has one of my boots, so I can't hit the slopes even with my old skis with just one boot. :-(

Oh, that's just unfair! Will they be open--and let you have your boot back for the day--before it's too late to leave? It's supposed to snow at Whistler tonight, isn't it?

Haha, I like your emoji! My trusty ski shop is super busy, but I believe it's worth the wait to make sure everything is done right. :-) I may just have to go nordic skiing instead of alpine skiing. Poor me! LOL

I routinely fail to account for this. Can you bribe them to make it go faster?

I cant ski today because I have returned to summer( and mountainbiking in the Southern Alps-yaaaayyy!!!)

I can't go today because I fell last Sunday and broke my hand. Skied last Monday anyway but after a visit to the ortho doc - I am in a HUGE cast. Out for a few weeks

Hope there is still some snow left when I get this awful cast taken off!!!!!

 

[Tvan]

I can't ski today because it is 10 degrees (after a week of 60 degree weather), and conditions can not possibly be worth the drive time.

You just need to bring an ice axe ...

Oh no!! Where did you fall? I tried to guess from the sign in your avatar but no luck! Hope it heals fast and you're back out soon!

Oh, no! I feel your pain! Which bone is broken? Broke mine last summer (needed surgery too), and sprained my ankle at the same time. No hiking, miserable summer vacation where even walking was a drag, out of work so long I ran out of sick time and it started eating up my vacation hours. . .

Do absolutely everything the PT or OT tells you! And be kind to it - you'll be wanting that hand for a long time to come, well past this year's ski season. Good luck!

Oh, no! Here's to speedy recovery and not-so-speedy snowmelt!

Thanks everyone! It's the 5th metacarpal (pinky) First ortho thought it would need surgery, surgeon said prob not. But he put it in a huge cast. So here's hoping it heals well.......without fixing.

I've actually been through this once before (different finger - same hand! Who does this lol) and did need surgery - so I am not looking forward to the PT/OT - but I do know how important it is.

I'm also in the same boat with sick time - counting the hours every day. Could be a long year if I have to tap into vacation time

Funny - when you're working you wish for more free time ....now I have all this free time, but can't do anything

I'm sorry, I can't go. We are on the way to a Caribbean island for a dive trip. Be glad, my departure usually guarantees a powder dump for you at home.
