I’m so happy to report, I have slept fairly well over the last FIVE nights!  After over three months of severe insomnia (1-4 hours per night), this is incredible.  What a difference in how I feel.  Paws crossed this is a sign of the end of my dreadful insomnia.

This weekend was great.  Saturday morning, Mike and I headed out to the airport and went for a local flight.  The day before, we did plan on flying somewhere for breakfast, but due to yuckola weather, we decided on a local flight.  Good choice.  Ceiling started to drop and then my high voltage light came on again:

Crud sticks!  Good thing my annual inspection is due this month so my amazing mechanic will take care of the issue.

We did fly over Safari Niagara, which if you saw my last blog, we visited just the other week.  Pretty neat to see if from the air.

Cool to see the size of the property.  A tad too high to see any animals running about though:

Once my high voltage light came on, I said “Toodles!” and headed back to CYSN:

Nice little flight.  Just hope Vyc will be better soon!  Afterwards, we went to the Husky restaurant for brekkie.  Never thought a truck stop would have such great food:

Today, Mike and I went to visit Lil’ Jan.  We went to Timmies then a few shops in town.  Mike and I wanted to make a slow cooker meal so we picked up the ingredients.  They said a few cans of condensed soup.  Wilco:

I like following instructions.  The meal turned out quite well – Chicken pot pie stew.  We figured out we put too much bullion and salt.  We’ll try again soon.

While we were preparing our epic meal, the wind outside was just a’howling.  My buddy from the St. Catharines tower at the airport sent this lovely image:

The 290 is the wind direction and the number below is the speed in knots.  Thirty-four knots gusting 48.  He said that was 89km/hr.  Ugh!  Not too many flights today!  I tested the wind in my apartment thusly:

Yeah, a tad windy.  Abby and Pinky hate loud storms.  They were ok today though:

And my well-healing Pinky, after her leg abscess….getting better:

Certainly healing well – yea!

Today’s symptoms: Feeling so much better after a few nights of good sleep!  So hopeful it’s a sign of the insomnia buggering off!
