Today marks from forty-second day since leaving Australia for my new adventure to Canada and what an adventure its been, so thankful for everyone who has supported me through this whole thing. So its been about 15 days or so since I last wrote to you all, it's getting hard to keep writing every day and for those who are still reading this I apologise they aren't frequent updates but I will try and post one every day from now, its just been crazy with working and trying to settle into my new home here in Whistler, Canada.
I hope you all are well and enjoying life from where you are, today is the first day that it has actually snowed in like 2 weeks (of course, I'm bed bound, sick as) and you can start to feel the temperatures change, starting to get negative temperatures all day. It's so cold especially at 7:30 in the morning when I'm leaving for work and its still kinda dark hah somedays in the village it's been like -3 and then at work the temp has been like 3degrees, but I am excited for the rest of the time here to see how cold it actually gets, gonna have to pull out my thermals some more haha
Work has been good the past couple weeks, starting to pick up now and our days are getting longer which means more money haha so broke, but it is such a good experience. Starting to understand my job better which is so good, basically starting at 8 am every morning (well Tuesday to Saturday) and its get-go from there, cleaning, prepping the daily special, setting up tables, fruit station, temp checks on fridges and freezers, prepping sandwiches which need to get done, washing dishes, this is got to be done by 11 am when we start serving our lunch which changes day to day week to week, but the food is soo good, so saving some money because not eating as much, fill up on lunch ahah. Between 11 & 12/12:30pm, is the lunch service so that time of the day is the hectic part, making sure everyone is getting the correct order, bussing dishes, washing them, cooking grilled cheese, there's so much that gets done, but it's actually so good.
It's coming up to the week before Christmas and holy moly are we about to get busier than before like 1000 kids on Christmas Day, like who sends there kid to ski school on Christmas ahahah. Work is becoming fun and the people I work with are so nice and friendly :) I love it hah work meetings are the best, we went Ice skating (I didn't fall) the other night and then karaoke at Blacks, it was a good time aha
I am also starting to get good (not good but semi-good) at skiing, did 2 Blue Runs the other day, I mean they were easy blues but I still did blue ones ahah I also managed to ski from Roundhouse to the village on Whistler Mountain which is a massive trail but aye I did it but omg my body was so sore after, work was a struggle the next day ahah I went to the Scandinave Spa cause it was locals day so it was cheaper than normal and omg it was the best amount of money I had spent, legit my body felt so good after it. This weekend, I am just resting in bed as my body is exhausted and today I felt sick hence why I am bed bound so I can recover and not take any more days off work for the rest of the season.
I am going to go for a sleep now, its like 2 pm but I am so exhausted, I have also posted some photos as well for you all to look at, speak to you soon.
Stay tuned for more adventures...
