Today 110?
well I totally forgot it was a Turkey time and that nothing would be open. Phebea's brakes went from spongy to darn near gone by mid-morning so I hitch hiked into Cornerbrook. The gentleman who picked me up dropped me at a hotel right across the street from the bike shop. So technically I only biked about 30 km the other 80 km was in a truck. It is cold. I was wearing everything warm I own and I was shivering away. When the brakes went I was very ready to come home. I called Flip and told him to book me a flight from Cornerbrook I'm done thank-you very much. If the guy in the truck had dropped me at the airport I would have happily boarded the first flight. Now that I've had a warm bath and am sitting in a cozy room I'm keen again (sort of). We will see. I'll find our what is going on with my bike and I'll see if I can find some warmer clothes. This is going to put me back a few days. I originally wanted to be home for Thanksgiving, then it was the 15th now I thinking my new song is "I'll be Home for Christmas."

What you need is a great big hug. So here is one from me, and one from Paul, and one from Quentin, and one from PJ and one from Sebastian.
Oh wait, that's 5 hugs. That and some Purdy's hedgehogs should keep you going for a bit longer.

Keep it up sis! Only a week to go! I've finally caught up on your posts and man oh man...what a trip. I'm extremely proud of you and plead with the entire Celtic Pantheon so that you may get a damn break in the weather and enjoy the rest of the trip!
Oh...and in case dad hasn't told you...you have a new nephew as of August 30th. Connor!
Hang in there Leanna, with all those hugs I'm sure you'll make it! Sending lots of good vibes your way.
