PHOTO COMP - Perscription= Acidopholus Just what I needed
What a week! For the last nine days my partner’s parents from the prairies had descended upon us, and we'd been sharing one bathroom between six adults. Now my in-laws are very wonderful people… but, as I am sure anyone with a mother-in-law can relate, their visit negatively impacted my stress level. It's not just the stress, to make matters worse my tongue is completely raw from all the biting it’s been getting. After a week of saying things like “Sure, you can completely re-organize the kitchen and set it up like yours” and “Yeah riding groomers is tons of fun, we're lucky no new snow is wrecking this perfect corduroy,” they left. I got to cash in my good karma almost right away, about an hour after they departed, it started puking snow. There is nothing that can relieve stress quite like POW!
It was still snowing hard as we rode up the Silver King lift at Whitewater, headed for the slackcountry area named after a group of probiotics (or so the West Kootenay Touring Guide tells me). I am not a doctor, but I believe the best remedy for "House-guest Induced Grumpiness" (it’s a real condition I swear) is Acidophilus.
After a short twenty-five minutes skin up from the top of the chair, we were ready to drop in. The chilly -11 degree air was perfect for making light, sweet, blower Kootenay Powder. We did Acidophilus and White Queen. The two hours were a bit of a blur (mostly because all the face shots made it hard to see), but on the walk back to the parking lot I realized that all my stress had melted away, I was back to my old self- loving life and not worrying about the fact that none of my dishes match. So next time your In-laws come to town – have a little Acidophilus.
Don't you hate it, when there is too much snow to get a good picture… me neither!
Did I mention I feel good!
