The flight there was a little bumpy, so I got plenty of mean looks and insults from my adorable mom. After about 50 minutes of glares and sighs, we arrived at the Stratford Airport. The dispatcher in the terminal was kind enough to call us a cab while we were coming in for a landing. We only had to wait a couple of minutes for it to arrive after parking the plane. After a short cab ride, we were dropped off at the
Tim Hortons in the downtown area. We sucked back a coffee and Jan had a muffin while I had my usual bagel. The first store we browsed, Jan found a couple of really nice cardinal pictures for her bedroom. We didn’t want to lug them around, so we told the proprietor that we would come back later to pick them up. The next store we entered had a really cute mascot:
I tried to smuggle her out of the store under my coat, but was tackled at the door by the manager.
I was more interested in finding things for my friends at work than myself. However (big smile) I found the cutest lamp:
You can either plug it in or it’s solar powered (thus the solar panel and big “Solar Power” sign) and it lights up (thus the lamp) and the little airplanes spin. Isn’t it precious?
We had a really nice day and walked around for over three hours. I felt really good – I never had to take any of my wake-up medication! Yea! We picked up Jan’s pictures and called a taxi to take us back to the airport. It was nice to see cute little Vyctor sitting on the apron, patiently waiting for us.
We snapped a few pictures on the flight back (which to my dismay, since my mother glared at me and snarled the whole flight) was much more bumpy then heading into Stratford:
The wind was a little more at our back, so the flight home was a bit shorter. We were clipping along at a nice speed:
I asked Jan to take a picture of the Skyway that was directly in front of us and clearly in sight. She asked “Which one?” I suggested that perhaps the one right there, since we passed the other one about 20 minutes ago:
Nice pic by the way, little mother-dearest!
We arrived back at the St. Catharines airport with all of our newly purchased goodies:
Before leaving the airport, I asked if one of their co-op students would clean my plane tomorrow. The aerobatics I’ve been doing over the last couple of weeks really left Vyctor with an oily belly! Yuck!
Today’s symptoms: Felt great, yet again! The CCSVI surgery did everything I hoped for! My energy is better than I can ever remember.
