I was off Thursday so my little mother and I went to the PEN Centre. There wasn’t really anything we needed, but it was just something to do. After a coffee from Timmies, we hit a few stores. While walking by a shoe store, I found this tiny shoe on the clearance table. I held it to my mother for a size comparison. Since she is so petit, this size 4 shoe looks far larger!

It was a very nice day out together. When I got home, I was surprised I still had some energy left so decided to quickly wash my floors. Despite giving Mya some food as soon as I got home, she didn’t think it was quite enough. The whole time I was washing the floors, Mya followeded me around, looking at me in a pitiful manner:
Needless to say, I was forced to give her more noms once I was done. I mean, who can say no to a face like that???
Abby was thrilled with the freshly cleaned floors, and their now fresh scent:

Despite the cruddy snow this weekend, Mike and I found a window of flyable weather and headed to the airport. I was the only one flying, I assume due to the high and gusty winds. I had the whole St. Catharines Airspace to myself. Just to be silly, I radioed the tower a few times and asked for a traffic update. The only plane up there was moi but it was nice to hear him say my position. We didn’t go too far since we could already see the snow coming in over Grimsby. We flew over to check out the Queenston Heights monument. Then, slightly east of the Niagara River (into the States, which is fine to do without a flight plan, as long as you’re not landing there). That’s us heading north so Canada is on the left.

Back to the empty airport, we flew over the Outlet Mall to see how busy it was. We were planning on going there next:

Alas! Other air traffic spotted just after we landed:

When I was at the PEN Centre with Jan, I saw a girl with the coolest boots. I hate buying shoes and don’t typically notice them on other people, but these were really nice. I asked her where she bought them and she said over at the Niagara-On-The-Lake Outlet Mall. I hate buying shoes and now I’m making a special trip somewhere to get ones that I really don’t need, but they’re so nice! I was quite happy I found them but then there was a quandary. I wasn’t expecting three colour choices. Black, grey and brown. They fit perfectly and were surprisingly comfy – but which colour between the black and grey? They were both staring at me – right through to my sole (hehehe!). Welcome home, my friends!

I feel like such a rebel but considering I only buy shoes every two to three years, I don’t feel super guilty. Just call me Sparkle-paws!
Today’s symptoms: Felt kinda meh today but that’s because I’ve mostly been awake since 3:30. My really bad nights are still getting fewer and further between, which has been quite nice since this insomnia journey started many months ago. From the lack of sleep, felt quite drained, bad headache and just generally blah. Tomorrow is going to be much better.
