I "bought" a couple free courses from PSIA-AASI for ski instructor certification. I had one ski lesson in my life, it was a free group lesson/bunny hill ticket/rental package for complete beginners (which on skis I was that day as I learned to snowboard first), and no one else has apparently seen people ski and I just kinda did my own thing while the instructor was telling people not to use their poles to stop haha. He did notice I was bored and took a run with me on the bigger beginner hill though after the group was done, so that was cool.

But they're still looking for instructors at my local mountain, so maybe if I finish this course early enough I can work there. I should probably actually get my ski legs under me first though, haha. It's been a hot second. Last time I skied was probably 2 years after my fall/hip injury and getting used to it again was interesting. I got too cocky and did this (what I used to consider easy) black diamond, but it was "closed for racing" but not really labeled as such, so I had like a 10 foot wide path between the racing fencing and the trees to get down a kinda-steep trail on my fifth run after so long.

Oy though. I don't know if I'm just assuming his complaints about other people are directed towards me...well, I know I'm assuming that, I just don't know if it's a correct assumption or not. He was saying stuff like "some people should've been swallowed, but weren't, and now it's fun to think about pushing them down stairs." And it just hits a nerve. My dad used to say stuff like "I shouldn't have been born" but in joke-form, like "the best part of you ran down your mother's leg," and "too bad your mom wasn't a chicken, you might've made a good omlet." If I didn't laugh, I was "too sensitive."

I got a call from the landlord at the apartment I'm trying to get in yesterday, except it was while I was waiting for my therapist to talk to me, so I answered, and as soon as I did my therapist came out the door. I called back later, but she didn't answer (or call back). Had an email saying "call back to discuss move-in." So that's exciting!! I'm gonna call again today (I don't know if she takes answers on weekends, I just know she doesn't on Thursdays), and then maybe again on Monday if I don't hear back by the afternoon.

They had a good deal on Ryobi tools at Home Depot yesterday too. My mom mentioned that our battery kinda sucks and she saw a good deal they have a box of two batteries and a charger for $99, and we went there and I noticed there's a list of power tools you can get for free with it. We got a blower. Not sure what we'd use it for, but out of all the other tools we either have them/something similar or absolutely don't need them. I want to try blowing snow off with the blower though if we get a light and fluffy snow one day. I also want to walk into it and see how close I can get (it only blows up to 160mph, and I've seen videos of MWOBS peeps outside in 100mph winds even if that's not super pretty)
