Pinktacular News!

Great news – little Pinky seems to have made a complete recovery and is her cute (and sometimes) snarly self again.  One of the first things she did when she was clearly feeling better was go out onto the balcony for some sun:

Only for a few minutes though so she doesn’t get sun burned!  The next thing she wanted was a butt rub from Mike.  She got it:

Meanwhile, the other three kitties watched from the the couch, thrilled about their sister’s recovery:

I know – their enthusiasm is overwhelming.

Regarding this past weekend, the weather wasn’t good enough for a flight.  Fortunately, I had a chance to go on a great flight last week.  A member of the 99’s (female aviator group) came down for a visit from Germany.  I had the pleasure of taking her for a scenic flight around Niagara.  The weather wasn’t too good in the morning, so I didn’t think we would be able to make it over Niagara Falls (clouds were too low).  However, by the time 2:00 rolled around, everything lifted enough that we were able to head over the Falls.  She had just been there earlier that day, checking it out from the ground.  Kinda neat to see it from a different perspective!  She was such a pleasure to fly with – especially at the end when we did some aerobatics!  Great flight and and I hope to take her up again if she comes back for another visit:

Back to the weekend, Mike and I visited my mother in the morning, then we went for a stroll around the quarry in Port Colborne in the afternoon.  He had never been there before.

I used to go there quite a bit as a kid, to search for fossils.  We found a few this trip as well.  I just have to do some research on what exactly they are.  Good times:

I couldn’t believe I had so much energy that day.  After the quarry, we went to the Seaway Mall in Welland to shop a bit then see the second Disney Planes movie.  It was really good, by the way!

I was a little surprised to see Mya when I got back home.  She always acted like she hated baths, but it’s obvious she takes them by herself when I’m not around.  I don’t even know where she got the robe from:

I asked Abby if she knew, but she just looked stunned (as usual):

I begged Mya to tell me where she got the robe but she just pointed and laughed:

On a final note, I got a call from the walk-in clinic about an hour ago.  Apparently my urinalysis came back from the lab and the antibiotic the doctor put me on last week wasn’t the right one.  So, I’m on yet another one for the next week.  I guess it’s a good thing since the bladder infection isn’t getting much better.  Paws crossed this one works!  I think six bladder infections since January are enough, so I’m going to swear off of them for a while.

Today’s symptoms: After my long but awesome day yesterday, I was more fatigued today than “normal”.  The humidity made this worse.  I’m pretty sure I’ll feel better tomorrow after a good sleepy.
