I have been unbelievably tired this week. After snowboarding on Saturday (and almost hurting myself again, but I’ll get into that later), and then going out again later that night, I got up unusually early on a Sunday (for which I had to work that night) and spent a great and beautiful day with Jennie. Have I mentioned how awesome she is? Yeah, she is totally awesome. Anyway, back on topic. Work that night was long. Loooooong and boring. I even started nodding off around 3am. So, I took the last couple hours off and went home.

I got up yesterday, had some coffee, and then Jennie came over for dinner and to drop off my valentines day gift (she got me a new Red Wings hat! how cool is that?!?!). Later I went to work, and even early on in the shift, I got really tired. Really, really tired. So, on my next break I went to take a nap. And thats when the torturing began.

The second I laid down my pager started going off. And. Would. Not. Stop. And once I finally got up, the pages stopped. The really sucky part was that  I had to respond to most of them (usually I mostly get alot of FYI pages that dont concern me). How’s that for awesome?

All I can say is Thank You Red Bull.

Oh yeah, back to how I almost killed myself again. I was practicing riding my board goofy foot, whereas I normally ride regular. I went on my toe edge and did what every beginner does when he goes on his toe edge. The heel edge caught and flipped me flat on my back. Hard. Very hard. So hard the back of my head slammed into the ice (oh yeah, it was ice that day, not snow). And if I hadn’t been wearing my helmet, I’d most likely be in the hospital right now. And to think that I almost took it off earlier in the day becouse it was so warm out. Yep, never going without a helmet again.
