I didn’t end up flying this weekend but was up last weekend with a friend from work. She won the flight from the Walk for MS pledge draw a couple years ago. The weather was iffy, but cleared up as the morning went on. The helicopters and gliders were out that morning as well:
We first flew over the glorious Niagara Falls, then back over to the St. Catharines airport for some aerobatics. She was a great passenger – had no issues at all with any of the maneuvers. We did pretty much everything I know how to do, minus combos.
Straight up toward the clouds for the hammerhead:
It was a great flight for both of us.
I mean, could we be anymore adorable?
The rest of the weekend was nice. The kitties really enjoyed the sun. I let them out on the balcony for about 20 minutes or so – don’t want them to get sunburned:
Pinky found another sunny spot once I dragged them all back inside:
That is a big side of ham!
Mya climbed up onto the window sill and offered her paw in support of her friend:
I wasn’t up in the air this weekend, but someone else was. I walked into my living room to see a pair of legs dangling outside my window:
Looks like the new owners of the building decided to paint the balconies from white to dark brown. He has quite the job ahead of him:
On Sunday, I met up with my Army buddy at the Casino. We had just spent a couple hours there with him a few weeks ago. I mostly watched him play, and did some people watching, which was entertaining. Man, I can’t believe how much money some people drop while they’re there, especially when they play two machines at once! I brought $55 and left with $77, so I can’t complain. I played this machine for about 15 minutes, and cashed out as soon as I won:
I’m so not hard core!
I just watched an episode of good ol’ Judge Judy, and found this image a little amusing:
He stood there like that for about a minute! Judge Judy made this face then “kindly” asked him to close his mouth:
Mya then did her impression:
Tee hee.
Yesterday, I had a neurologist appointment in Hamilton due to the ongoing symptoms I’ve been having, which started in January. My left side, mainly my leg is weak, has decreased sensation, lots of shooting pains plus a weird warm and wet sensation. A couple days ago I was standing there putting on my makeup and I thought I peed down my leg! Apparently it was just one of the new and weird symptoms from this flare-up. One thing about MS, you never know what’s going to happen next. My neurologist is sending me for another MRI (I think this will be 14) to see if there are any changes to my cute, little brain. He’s also a bit concerned that my lymphocytes have dropped again, which is caused by the MS med Gilenya. Hopefully my next blood test shows they’re going back up.
Today’s symptoms: Been feeling pretty down and cruddy over the last week. I don’t have much of an appetite and lost about six pounds. Paws crossed things start to look up again soon.
