February 14 – 20, 2016

The deep-freeze has left us, and been replaced with snow! That damn rodent (Wiarton Willie) was right for a change – 6 more weeks of winter.

Fortunately for us to keep our sanity we have our bikes set up on the trainers and we are cycling every morning and dreaming of our next trip. Here is a conundrum, how come when I check my stats at the end of my training ride I have climbed anywhere from 4 to 14 metres, on a stationary bike in the spare room. I am cycling away, keeping a steady cadence of 81 rpm, heart rate is good, everything is going well, but I have gone up an incline of 4 metres to 14 metres. Remember I am in the spare room on a trainer. Inquiring minds need to know how that is possible.

I have been working on promoting my business, visiting some of  the planning companies in Barrie. I am getting some work from Chris which is keeping me sane.

It was rather nerve wracking visiting all the planning companies in Barrie, I have never had to \”cold call\” before.   A couple of them seem interested, I will follow up next week, to see if they have any work for me. If not I will go to the Engineering companies.

I woke up this morning feeling sad and missing my Dad. I rolled over in bed and told Ralf I was missing my Dad, he put his arms around me and held me. That is why I love my husband, no words just holding me while I had a little cry.
