Carrying on from yesterday’s blog….On Friday, Mike and I drove to Hamilton for a Harbour Boat Cruise, arranged through my office. There were about a dozen folks from the St. Catharines office there, and over 50 from Hamilton. It was a tad cool out, so after checking out the top deck of the boat, we headed downstairs. But first, I thought I would let Mike know that I sometimes get motion sickness:
Fortunately, since becoming an aerobatic pilot, the motion sickness doesn’t seem to be much of an issue anymore.
After everyone boarded, we headed out around the Hamilton Harbour:
We dined on some pizza, samosas, veggies, etc:
Quite yummy! At one point, I decided to saunter up to the cockpit (errrr…..whatever you call it for a boat), and meet the captain and crew. They were super nice, as was the view:
The cruise was two hours long, but fortunately, seemed even longer. Chatting with my work peeps, we decided to go to a restaurant/bar in St. Catharines to celebrate one co-worker’s upcoming wedding. Heading back through Hamilton, we followed behind a dude with a fridge in his pickup. Probably should have secured the freezer door – duh! We were just relieved it didn’t fly off and into our car!
Dork.
At the restaurant, I joined my coworkers on the dance floor for about three hours, while running back and forth to check on non-dancing Mike. It was an awesome night.
On Saturday, Boo was being a little goober and wouldn’t come out to the kitchen for breakfast. Ok, just because you’re so cute, you get breakkie in bed:
Speaking of naked spoiled kittahs, I picked up Abby’s medication last week. I showed her the receipt and asked if she appreciates the expense. She just sniffed it and walked away. Good thing she’s so darn cute!
On Saturday night, we went to Mike’s sister and brother in law’s house to meet their newest addition, little Rowan. I think this is only the second or third baby I’ve ever held. She’s a cute little thing!
We had a really nice visit, as usual.
I took someone up for an aerobatic flight on Sunday morning. Her husband was the top bidder at a charity auction I had donated the flight to. He gave it to his wife. She was really nice, great to talk to and truly enjoyed the flight. I love making people scream as we go around a loop or roll! It was such a blast.
I have another flight tomorrow night to Welland (less than a 10 minute flight!) for a COPA meeting and BBQ. On Wednesday around 3:30, I get to take up another victim….errrr….I mean passenger for an aerobatic flight. Sweet!
Today’s symptoms: Actually felt pretty decent today. Had a fairly bad headache though, but I’ll take something for it tonight and hopefully it will be gone in the morning. Out, Out damn headache! (A little Elizaspeare for ya!)
