It was a rather interesting weekend. I finally started feeling better, and was well enough to go for a flight Sunday morning. Chuck and I decided to fly to the Tillsonburg Airport for breakfast. There was a rather strong wind and it took us about an hour and ten minutes to get there. We had a nice breakfast in their new terminal building. I was surprised to see they had free Wi-Fi there! After we gobbled our meals, we fueled up, since Tillsonburg has the cheapest aviation fuel in Southern Ontario. The flight back was much quicker, as the wind was at our back. We arrived back at the Niagara District Airport in less than forty minutes! Even the officer in the tower said my ground speed was about 140 miles/hr.
Chuck and I made a quick trip to Costco on the way home. Next, I decided to go back to the bookstore on St. Paul St., which will be closing down at the end of the month. I spent three hours there, as I did during my last visit. I got around 80 books for $20! I’m going to visit again at least one more time before the end of August.
When I got home, I was shocked and very proud to see my children on the news. I took a picture of the TV while they were on:
This was their first time competing at this event, so I’m just ecstatic that they won gold! Mind you, there was some controversy soon after the event. The word got out that they were both tested positive for snorting catnip before the competition. We soon discovered that this rumour was spread by the silver medalist team, obviously out of jealousy. Once a hair follicle test was performed (which wasn’t easy since they’re hairless cats!), the silver medalists were stripped of their medals, and forbidden to compete again for seven years. Since they figured they had nothing else to lose, they still attempted to destroy the reputations of my kitties, by posting wanted ads around the region. Here are pictures of two of them:
I told both Mya and Abby that they have nothing to be ashamed of – many cats would give anything to be as cute and googly as they are. The support for both of them has been flooding in, via emails, cards and numerous fan clubs that have cropped up. I’m so proud *wipes away tears*
Today’s symptoms: Feelings rather fatigued today as I hardly slept two nights ago. I usually don’t feel it the next day, but typically two days later. Delayed reaction….
