So I was at my mother’s place a couple weeks ago and found my cute cat-shaped water dish.  Pinky enjoys drinking out of weird places, like jumping up on the counter (which is not allowed!) to slurp water from dishes in the sink.  Or from the container of water I have to refill the crickets water bowl, which sits next to their tank.  I figured I’d bring this dish home so she would have another source.  Little did I know that all four cats would fall in love with it.  It’s quite shallow so I have to refill it three to five times a day.  Why they think this is better than the nice fountain I have for them in the kitchen is beyond me.

There’s typically a line up in the morning before I refill it:

Bunch of weirdos!

The weather has been quite nice although a little on the hot side for the last week.  We took advantage of it this morning and went for a flight.  We flew south to check out the beaches along Lake Erie.  It was surprising how many people there were, considering…

No delay on the Peace Bridge, connecting Fort Erie to Buffalo:

We went around the Niagara Falls scenic circuit once.  Mike snapped a bunch of great pics of the eerily quiet major tourist area:

There was only one helicopter touring the circuit:

Great Wolf Lodge is typically packed solid:

And there is usually a long delay on the Rainbow Bridge during the summer months, especially on the weekends:

I sure miss going to Casino Niagara with my Army buddy, Ken:

We flew over Brock University, where they are building the facilities for the hopefully upcoming Canada Summer Games:

Then finally, we flew along the Lake Ontario shoreline to check out more fairly crowded beaches:

Bringing Vyctor in for a landing:

It was so wonderful to feel well enough to be active today.  I haven’t been sleeping well for the last week, due to the worst Restless Leg Syndrome symptoms I’ve ever experienced, both in my legs and arms.  I upped my magnesium dose last night and the symptoms were greatly reduced!  I was thrilled to wake up this morning after a decent sleep.

Today’s symptoms: It was a rough week, as lack of sleep always makes my MS symptoms worse.  Everything from my nerve pain to spasms and headache were much worse, making it difficult to get through the work week.  Restless fingers crossed that the extra magnesium continues to be the solution.
