Well what a day. Not even sure where to start. Guess I’ll start at the beginning. I woke to some weather but managed to get out the door a little after 10 am. I dropped Ty at the mountain telling him have fun and don’t get hurt. Then it was over over two snowy and windy passes to Denver. First stop was the meat market for our Prime Rib. Upon arrival I noticed no parking available and then saw why. There was a line of 50 mask clad people standing out in the cold waiting to get in. I decided I’d leave and head up north and come back later. So off to the western store to pick up a pair of insoles for some of my boots. Then up north before heading back to the meat market. When I got back nothing had changed, still no parking and a long line so in true form, I left.
I headed downtown towards Whole Foods and a couple of specialty grocery stores. While driving Ty called. Apparently a skier ran into him and took off and he hurt his ankle. Lori’s plane was about to take off so I told him to send me a picture. Check it out,
That sums up my reaction. Now with Lori taking off we had about 30 seconds to talk while she was on the runway. I managed to call her new office and Dr. Braxton called me back. He was so great as when Ty arrived they took him right in, got him an x-ray and put him in a boot with crutches and made an appointment for 10:30 this morning with the foot and ankle doc. He does think it’s broken though. Now Ty was with Sonny who was driving him home so they headed back to Sonny’s to get some stuff so Sonny could drive Ty home and then sleep over. Around 5 when they headed to the house, they had a blowout on I-70! They called Sonny’s dad who called AAA as they had no jack. Turns out it’d take 3 hours to get the car fixed so Lori and I decided we would just pick them up.
Now back to us. We were driving in snowy and windy weather and it took us about 4 hours to get to Vail. Lori’s back was killing her the whole way as it’s hard to sit. Oh I forgot, after two more long lines at grocery stores in Denver, (which I passed), I ended up getting into Whole Foods and found a Prime Rib for tonight’s dinner. Meanwhile Jag caught a ride to Vail to go hang with friends and make Christmas cookies so we had to pick him up on the way home too. Mojo had been outside the whole time as Jag anticipated Ty getting home at 4:30. Harley was in her crate. At 9:30 pm they were both thrilled to see us!
So that was our day. Lori joked “oh well, what do you expect, it’s 2020”. Pretty much sums it up. Merry Christmas Eve to you all. I’ll try to get Ty’s ski pass refunded today, $429, but not sure they’ll do it. We’ll watch Christmas movies and hang out later today trying to get in the spirit. Other than that, we’re all fine. Hope you are too, God Bless. Looking forward to 2021.
