Chill in the Air

I return from holiday and miraculously, (and four weeks late,) I have a training plan.  It's not great but it's a little information at least and a starting point and with a little information, I can teach myself.

I only have to get through the next few weeks and I will move over to a different manager, thank God.  Going to be a long four weeks but I shall persevere, be me and keep my head down.

A week later Col and the weather turned, it was around -5 for the week, we got some but missed the bulk of the snow here but the temperature was enough of a challenge.  After a week, even with my "cold" tablets, (the ones for my diabolical circulation which I only take in very cold weather,) I was frozen to the bone, fingers lifeless by the time I'd driven home most evenings.  I went to bed each night in two nighties, with two hot water bottles, three microwaveable wheat wraps and bed socks, and I still woke in the night with the cold.  I would for sure die in a Canadian winter, and possibly after 5 minutes in Russia, both countries which are on my bucket list by the way.

In the midst of this, two of our own are battling cancer and one is having tests, my heart is so sad I can't explain.  50% of my small circle in trouble or maybe in trouble. Sending prayers and positive thoughts to the universe.  I have to hope that all will be well. You know I believe that you have bloodline family and then there is the family you choose in this life and that you and they are mine.
