Getting ready to head to the celebration of life for someone who had so much promise, was an undoubted light in a world prone to darkness. 32 is devastatingly young.

Never complain to me about age and its related issues. I will tell you off.

Too many don’t get the privilege to face it.

These times are also why I try to disappear into the woods for hours at a time…days at a time haven’t happened since my kiddo arrived…but that may change soon.

E-bike scheme gives 67-year-old joy and a new lease of life Frances King, 67, who lives with osteoporosis, was referred to Cherwell District Council’s Move Together programme to support her in becoming more…

Is riding an e bike cheating?
No, it's just like doing 20 reps at a low weight instead of 10 at a heavy weight in the gym. You get the exercise anyway. AND you might be more likely to get on the bike in the first place.

It’s such a small ask and yet seems impossible for most people.

False. Yikes.

I’ve had so many bad interactions with people who 1) don’t/won’t read the guidelines posted on the paths or 2) believe they are gods gift and deserve to be in everyone’s way. As over the top polite as I’ve try to be it’s amazing how rude people are.

Yes!

I can’t even read a book properly on my phone, must be print or e-reader.

I find anything that connects to the internet makes my brain go β€œHEY! SOMETHING SHINY!!”

It sucks.

Ski morning, fat bike ride with the kiddo, then off to the ice rink to round off a very Canadian Sunday.

Tuesday night we got a call that a good friend, the kind you’d call if you wanted an adventure, drinks, or if you needed help with your animals, died suddenly in an accident.

Hug your friends and loved ones, and live your life to the fullest. We really don’t know how much time we have here.

I wonder if β€œgeneric” varies from place to place! So interesting

How do I say my biggest challenge is the fact that I’ve had 5 separate bosses in three years and the company needs to pick a direction and go with it?

Professionally, of course.

This made me laugh because I’m literally the most Generic White Lady lol

People used to come up to me all the time asking if they knew me simply because I’m so generic. I guess as I’ve gotten older I’m less generic? Or weirder.

Waiting for the flu to get me.

Kiddo (4) just recovering now with a bit of a cough and runny nose. I’m expecting a full downslide into sickness in a day or two, guaranteed by the full face spray cough received at all hours of the day over the last three days.

Losing my β€œsick day” ski day tomorrow (~20cm of fresh with this storm) by having an actual sick kid.

Sad trombone for my ski season this year 😒

Terrible sleep over the last week and a coughing child means I’m finally embracing the Lazy Sunday approach and reading fiction. Who knows, probably get some fresh air later by wandering with the dogs.

Definitely one of those sports I wonder why the **** anyone would choose to do it.

That and ski jumping lol

Canada likes to pat itself on the back when compared to how bad the US is, conveniently forgetting its own horrific behaviours.

Oh yeah. Kids open the eyes to deficiencies like never before.

I mean, it will be a business trip, so my evenings are probably going to be filled with β€œteam bonding” type shit.

I say it’s better bonding if we jump in cold water together πŸ˜‚

I don’t know if my new team has any idea how crazy I actually am lol

Debating if it’s worth an adventure to some ocean swimming…if so likely I’ll skip the wetsuit for airline purposes and go for a cold swim πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜‚

Going to Vancouver in March for work. I am so looking forward to good food and the busyness of it all.

Even if I’ll be so glad to be home in my quiet mountain town when it’s all done.

Sitting in an office to type Teams messages to people who aren’t in the same geography as me…

Silly.

But at the same time I needed out of the house.

Both of which I have.
