well, i have hit the wall. apparently, living at sea level and trying to come here and immediately kick butt was a little much to ask of my body... i have not been sleeping since i arrived and got to work the day after we landed, 8hrs of shoveling snow in these extreme conditions put me down...i am just exhausted and will rest up today and get back at it tomorrow! i am also the oldest GA...gotta keep up with the youngens! this place is amazing...everything that is needed for operations, from food to scaffolding is buried under huge snow berms and it is our job to find everything...so amazing...this whole scene is really like living on another planet! there are bulldozers and forklifts ect. running 24hrs a day...3 shifts of workers...there's much work to be done this season! i love my little room in the Quonset hut the heat is always pumpin and the floor is freezing...but it's so lovely to have my own space! my boss is great and all of the other GA's are so spectacular, we spend most of our days laughing, especially Trudi and me...we're belly laughers and often don't know what we're laughing at...perhaps delirium has set in... the best! i have high hopes of having a dance party this sat. pm.....hope you all are well! xoxo kg*

Who's a Rock Star? Karen Grace is!
I read your post to Bones. She has decided she would like to stay put and see you when you come back. Something about the elevation or maybe it was the wind chill. Anyways she will be here when you get back.
Love you. H
