I’ve been having a great week! Went out for lunch at work with a group of friends on Tuesday. It was my first time to Toi, a Vietnamese restaurant quite close to our office. All I can say is “wow”. The food and service was amazing. I had the crispy grilled chicken which was probably the best chicken I’ve ever had.
We all really enjoyed our lunch and would certainly go there again. Actually, when I got home, I mentioned the great grub to my cats. Two of them tried to make a run for it out of the apartment. Fortunately, they weren’t tall enough to reach the elevator buttons.
My friend and I got together for lunch later in the week. We didn’t actually go anywhere for food, but stopped at the consignment shop just down the block. I had dropped off a really nice red dress that no longer fits me (I guess I shrank a tad). We looked through the rack of dresses, but didn’t see it. I was kinda hoping it was sold. It wasn’t but it sure made a nice window display!:
Abby seems to have developed a fixation with TV’s. This has been her the last couple of days:
Speaking of weird cats, I inadvertently left a plastic bag on the couch. Pinky found it within seconds:
I had an awesome day yesterday. Went out for dinner and a movie in Oakville. After noms at Boston Pizza, we saw the Cirque de Soleil 3D movie. It was amazing! I think it was the first 3D movie I’ve seen since I was a kid. I’ve seen Cirque live before and I was just as blown away with the screen version. It’s a must-see.
I’m so relieved we had decent weather this morning. I haven’t flown in about three weeks. I headed over to the airport around 10:30. As the fuel dude was fueling my plane, a group of about seven people wandered up on the observation deck. There was at least one kid (can’t remember if I noticed more than one). Before hopping in my plane, I walked over and asked if they wanted to see a little airshow. They said yes so I headed up above the airport and did a bunch of loops, rolls, snap rolls, combos and spins. I did a low and over before landing. I wanted to speak with them and ask if they enjoyed the show before heading out for the rest of my flight. They thought it was quite neat! The one man had a huge zoom lens on his camera and said he took a bunch of pics – can’t wait to see them!
I headed back out and flew over my friend’s house which is currently being built. It’s rather neat to see how it’s progressing. There’s a roof now!
Back at home, I finished wrapping pressies (which I thought I was done already but apparently wasn’t). Now I’m sitting here debating whether or not I want to work out on my exercise bike. I’m kinda pooped so will likely just stay on my couch like a blonde blob.
After work tomorrow, Jan is coming over and we’re going to have a few drinks and eat our Christmas dinner. She’s going to stay the night then we’ll spend most of Tuesday opening about 347 presents. I can’t wait!
Today’s symptoms: I felt very good today. Actually my fatigue level has been less than normal over the last few days. Still have the headache, but it’s getting a bit better. Also, still lots of sharp aches and pains in my hands and forearms, but they’re livable.
Busy, Busy!
Yup, I’m totally behind on my blog again. I’ve been really busy over the last couple of weeks. On my day off last Thursday, I decided to finish up the rest of my Christmas shopping. I first had an appointment with my GP in Fonthill, after which I drove two minutes to my little mother’s house. We visited for a bit (and ate some pie!) then I drove to the St. Catharines Airport. There, I dropped off a gift basket for my aviation mechanic. It was nice to see him, another friend and of course, Vyctor:
He’s so cute. I really hope I can go for a flight soon – it’s been about three weeks since my last one!
After that visit, I drove over to my friend’s hangar to stick something (for her birthday) to her hangar door. I left the airport, and drove to the States to pick up a package. Thankfully with Nexus, there was no wait on the Whirlpool Bridge. Back in Canada, I drove to the Fairview Mall and hit about half a dozen stores. Then to Costco, Shopper’s Drug Mart, my local pharmacy, a book store, and a few more places. It was about five hours of running around, but I got everything accomplished that I wanted to do. I was totally poop-o-la when I got home, but it was a great feeling to have everything done. When I arrived home (after making a couple trips from my car) I got all of my loot inside. I asked Pinky what she thought of my fulfilling day and she just gave this odd little look:
My friend came over the next night and we ordered some food and wrapped pressies. It’s kinda an annual tradition with us. Here’s some of Jan’s gifts I wrapped:
This weekend was great. Jan and I went over to Buffalo to pick up a shirt I ordered while we were in Rochester. We ended up spending a few hours in the mall and made some sweet purchases. That night, I went out to dinner then over to the nearby mall to pick up a few more things.
Yesterday was long overdue. I went out to see a movie in Oakville. I haven’t seen a movie in the theatre in over ten years! We watched Flight with Denzel Washington. We both really enjoyed it. Afterwards, we went to Wild Wings next door and I had some great noms. I haven’t had wings in around ten years.
Very good! It was a great day and despite getting home after 10:00pm, I was still able to get up and start work at 7:15 and made it through the day.
Product warning: That new Sensodine toothpaste in the can has some issues. I had been using it for a couple months, and it was getting down to the end. The other morning I went to brush my teeth, only to find my toothpaste exploded:
Yuck! How rude!
I’ve had an amazing week. My spirits are high – life is awesome!
Today’s symptoms: Had a very good day today. Fatigue level was much lower than normal, and only a few (although pretty intense) aches and pains in my hands. I’ve still be dealing with a bad headache for the last few weeks. I’ll be sure to mention it to my neurologist when I see him tomorrow.
