I’m back at home in Prince George, BC, where the weather is anything but nice! Coming from sunny California to dense fog, snow on the ground, and rain during the day, doesn’t seem like a worthwhile trip! However, Canada has its positives: free medical and my family. Best of all though, is the 50-metre 10-lane pool I get to swim in daily!
With no running or cycling for a while longer, my skin is turning scaly and dry as bark. I made the mistake these last few days after showering, putting on skin body wash rather than lotion! No wonder the white film I plastered on my legs and arms never soaked in!
I’m learning about patience more than ever now. Twiddling your thumbs is now a task I’m proud to say I’ve mastered!
I’m learning to walk and jump with crutches as well. There are a number of puddles, snow banks and pot-holes that one must meanuaveur through if they want to get anywhere in Prince George. The pot-holes are the worst I’ve seen. The roads here get extremely cracked after a long winter from the expansion of the ice, in and under the pavement. I have no idea how I managed a road bike when I did live here full-time. I won’t be complaining about the bumby roads in California anytime soon! As a matter of fact, I won’t be complaining about riding my bike, EVER! …Except, if it involves getting those flats day after day (5 in one week) that I had while in PI! I still blame it on the monkeys!
