I have arrived in Yellowknife!!!!\u00a0 <\/span>I landed at 12:15 am and then got to my hotel at 01:30 and climbed into bed at 02:00 which is 05:00 am in Halifax time so I was awake for 23 hours with some cat naps on the flights.\u00a0 <\/span>So I slept till 08:30 and was like nah ah this is not happening and forced myself back to sleep (which is hard to do) and slept until 13:30!!!!\u00a0 <\/span>Now the hotel I have is basically an apartment, there is a kitchen, living room,\u00a0 <\/span>bathroom and bedroom. <\/span><\/p>\n

After checking the weather and seeing it is -43\u00b0 with the windchill I got on my long underwear, my jacket, toque and mitts, then I headed out for the 2.5 km walk to the grocery store, it is beautiful here, the scenery is gorgeous. I walked on a trail, listened to the styrofoam sounding footsteps.\u00a0 <\/span>I walked for most of the distance I walked through the woods, then across a lake, I was nervous that I could fall through the lake, however I told myself no no it is fine there are snowmobile tracks, as I was hesitating a man came by and went onto the lake, so I said to him \u201cis this a short cut? Is this lake safe?\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>He just laughed and said \u201cyes it is a very good shortcut and it is ice road safe.\u201d So off I marched across the lake to my destination.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been told I don\u2019t report to work until Monday morning so I have another day off tomorrow to relax and food prep. I am so glad that I have the ability to cook food at the hotel instead of relying on eating out all the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

This hotel is a home base, when I met my point of contact last night at the airport I asked what we are going to be doing, and the reply was \u201cI honestly have no idea\u201d haha so I replied \u201cso it is like ship where things constantly change and we never know what is happening, so ultra go with the flow mode needs to be activated?\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>The answer with a loud laugh was \u201c exactly!\u201d
